    Looking for PA9

    For all who are interested, this is the response I received from Cakewalk: Transfer of ownership and registration is against the End User License Agreement and doing so voids any upgrade discounts or tech support for the new recipient. TWELVE TONE SYSTEMS, INC. d/b/a CAKEWALK LICENSE AGREEMENT

    What is the best cheap electric guitar?

    I can recommend the Gregg Bennett series of guitars by Samick. Each model line starts out cheap and gets progressively better. If you pick one of the mid to high level, you'll get a good guitar for $300-$400 US. They have Grover tuners, Duncan pickups, good quality wood, nice bridges, play...

    2 sm57's for acoustic guitar?

    Another vote for the Studio Projects B1. If you have phantom power, they are a good choice and very reasonably priced.

    Looking for PA9

    I need both midi and audio capability, 24/96. I do record multiple tracks at once, and need the capacity to import video files to work on soundtracks and voiceovers.

    Looking for PA9

    I'm just used to using it at my friend's home studio. I went to the Cakewalk site to look for a demo of Home Studio, but they don't have one. I was under the impression that Home Studio was more limited than PA9. Is that incorrect?

    Just got my Studio Projects B1

    I have a pair of Studio Projects B1 mics, and they work very well for drum overheads and acoustic guitar, as well as vocals. I haven't tried the MXL 603s, which I hear are very good. I was looking for the most versatile mic, and the B1 is quite versatile. It is a large diaphragm, but I think...

    Looking for PA9

    Interesting. So if it wasn't used for an upgrade, but was registered by the previous owner, could I buy it and and get tech support or use it for an upgrade? If not, I guess I'll have to try and find a copy that someone got bundled with hardware, and never registered it. Anyone have a copy they...

    Looking for PA9

    Anyone know of a source to buy an inexpensive, legal copy of Cakewalk PA9? I only see it bundled with hardware now.

    What was it like 20 years ago.

    The recording techniques were pretty much the same, except you could saturate the tape a bit for a nice warm sound. Most of the mics I used then are still being used today. SM57, Sennheiser 421, AKG 451, & 414. The big difference today are the low cost LD condensers. Everything is cheaper...

    strings samples?

    You might want to try the Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra series. You can start with what you need and add more later. Here's a review about them http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/articles/FEA506F2C230B5B38625687B0028E47F and one place where you can buy them...

    any help appreciated

    That sounds like a good plan. I'm glad I was able to help.

    any help appreciated

    Dani, I think you lost me. I thought you were trying to record your instruments into the computer through a multitrack recording program. But your last post sounds like you are taking your already recorded songs and putting them on CD. If that's the case, when you open Easy CD Creator...

    Should I spend the money?

    I couldn't get your website to open, but I can answer your question without hearing your music. If you have ideas you'd like to record, it's worth it. The trick is deciding what level of equipment you need. If you are recording through a computer mic, it might be worth getting a decent mic...

    Direct X Plug Ins

    You might want to try the Cakewalk FX2 Amp Sim. Here's a review of it http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/files/CFC8F4BFAB264BA48625673600563A3A I have a Digitech RP50 amp modeler that I use as a DI box. I use it more often than the FX2.

    Piano soundboard resonance

    I have a very small studio with an upright grand piano in it. When I record acoustic drums, or even loud vocals, you can hear the piano soundboard resonating. Could anyone offer suggestions on reducing the resonance? I'm using cardiod mics, and micing fairly closely, but it still comes...

    Studio Projects B1 Vocal EQ Tweaking?

    Robert, You could start by looking at the records that you like the sound of and see who produced them. Become familiar with who is doing what. Sometimes you can contact them through the labels that use them. Most aren't under contract to a particular label, but might like using a...

    Recording Drums - Setup

    I forgot to mention some of the lower cost alternatives: n-tracks Pro Tools Free (download for free from http://www.digidesign.com/ ) Powertracks Pro Audio http://www.pgmusic.com/powertracks.htm I'm sure there are others that I'm missing. I think there are trial versions of all of them...

    Recording Drums - Setup

    For audio and midi work, Cakewalk Sonar or Pro Audio 9, Steinberg Cubase or Nuendo, and Logic Audio are the most popular choices. For audio only you might look into Cool Edit Pro or Samplitude. Each has a different feel to it. I would suggest you download trial versions and see which fits...
