okay, your digi 001 system should (I think) be able to put out midi clock (sync) and system messages (play, stop, etc.). Take one midi cable, and run it from the digi's midi out to the first box (the drum machine or the sampler or whatever, so long as it has a midi thru). Now, take a second...

I just checked aardvark's site, they say they'll have drivers compatible with Gigasampler by mid-febuary. I'd wait for the updated drivers to be available before purchasing the card, as aardvark's deadlines don't have too much credability right now : ) William Underwood [This message has...

By daisy chaining through the soundcard, you'd be splitting the 16 channels three different ways, but it'll still work. By using the midi man, or anything that will give multiple independant midi outputs, each midi device could have its own 16 channels, which would give you some more...

If your going to be running cakewalk anyway, it might be worth getting 9, or even eight if it's around anywhere... latency is significantly better in 8, and much better in nine. Also, I'm not sure version 7 will record 24 bit audio. With the Direct Pro, once you know how you'll be hooking your...

Hmm, qbasic can be a wonderful thing. If it's added at exactly the correct level (amplitude up to the 17th bit), it gives the equivilant of 17 bits, with the 17th bit recorded at 22050hz: seems to be trading sampling rate for bit depth. When you half the frequency of the tone (which turns out...

Hello all After reading several articles about how and why dither works, I had got this idea: why add low level noise to a signal when you could add a high frequency tone at 22050hz (which works nicely at 44.1khz) at the same low level. It would give the same averaging effect as a random...

The 128 and 64V refer to the number of 'voices' the card can play at one time, for the most part, it's just a number to make it look impressive... 24/96 refers to the resolution...most consumer sound cards are 16/48, meaning that they can take up to 48 thousand 16-bit samples in a one second...

I'm running a (older) Pentium 166, 64 megs, 20 gig 5400 rpm eide hard drive, with Cakewalk Pro Audio 8. I can record all four channels at once at 24 bit 44.1 khz while playing back 16 tracks at the same quality (and the system still responds well, too!), so I'm assuming you should be able to...

I'm not too familiar with the SB Live, this is more with your 'couple other questions' Aardvark's Direct Pro has 4 XLR mic inputs with preamps and phantom power. Yes, you could get by without a mixer and preamps with the box, with a good multitrack program. It's 550 - 600$US, I don't know if...

Goldwave allows you to do this, just zoom in to 1:1 level, you should be able to do whatever editing it is you want to do. http://www.goldwave.com/ free shareware version, all functions enabled, it nags you after 150 commands, at which point you have to restart the program.

Do you have any other audio tracks in that file?

yep, that's the deal. If you use the spdif connections, you wont lose quality on the pass, at far as AD convertions are concerned. The effects are still useful for tracking, avoiding clipping, etc..., it's just a pain to use them for mixing down. In any case, the effects weren't the deciding...

I finally got a chance to do some recording; compared to the SB I was using before, it is great. The preamps and DA converters are very quiet, noise from the unit itself doesn't become apparent until the gain is set to the 52 to 75 db range, which is quite alot of amplification. A couple...

Well, I got a 2 meg wav file up, it's at http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Canvas/8148/ It's just a recording of one of the demos, but it should give you a sense... William Underwood

Something I've been meaning to try, is to actually put some of these sounds through an amp... but in any case... I'll try to get some recordings for tommorrow afternoon... my computer is too tempermental to do this right now. I'll post the site when there's something there. William Underwood...

You might want to check out some gear by Kurzweil. I have a keyboard from them that's about ten years old, but it has some of the best sounds in general I've heard. There isn't much variety of each sound, but what there is is pretty good. In your case, there is 1 acoustic bass, and 2 electric...

Oh well, the best thing in my future is a 7 year old 19 inch monitor that I'll be inheriting in two weeks. Its previous owner is getting a 21 inch, PIII600, 256 megs, 40 gigs... I get the PI 166 it's replacing. Oh well, beggers can't be chosers : ) Come to think of it, that's not too bad for...

The midi ports are likely for sync and midi machine control (i.e. cakewalk tells the four track when to start and stop recording) It won't be of any use for transfering audio. Is there a digital output on your machine? If it does, you could transfer the tracks to the computer, with a suitable...

I keep dreaming of a four monitor video card...just enough room for the console, track and piano roll views, with one monitor to spare for aardvarks control panel : ) One thing that is useful for this, though, is setting up keyboard shortcuts for all the different views... I think you need pro...

In cakewalk, have you set each track to record (in addition to playback) on the correct track? It sounds as if your using MIDI Omni to record, you have to set that to the proper channel as well. Hope this helps! William Underwood
