MFO, How many mics/tracks do you want record at one time? I'm guessing you wan't to record the band live. Standard soundcards just record two tracks (one stereo) at a time so for more than two mics you need to either: use a mixer to mix down to two tracks, get a multi-track soundcard (can...

Windows no longer sees audio on my second hard drive after re-install I posted this on a couple of computer forums and have yet to get the answer to my troubles so I thought I'd throw this out to you guys cuz y'all are so nice. (It's related to computer recording in that if I don't get my...

You can in Paraguay. It's legal there.

Re: if you do get the Q-10 $149 for 2.2 $249 for 2.2 XL Ptron

Yeah, I think there were upwards of 1,500 fatalities last year alone due to home recordists attempting to master. You have to spend 20 years in a Himalayan monastery studying and meditating with Buddhist monks. Oh Yeah, you gotta be born with the sign of the chosen few. If you don't know what...

Hey, how do I find this "Mastering thread of all threads". I wanna read it. Well...some of it at least. Ptron

I know this is a slight deviation from the the topic of this thread, but I've come to be of the opinion that at least the initial EQing and level setting is best done in mono. For me, it's much easier to get everything to fit in it's place that way. Ptron

I like mine alot. The pre's are decent. Not having to deal with a mixer really simplifies things. One big warning though, if you use XP, the Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 it comes with will not work. The Aardvark tech support guy says they have it running on an XP machine but after countless wasted...

I'll let you know how I like mine when I manage to use it successfully:mad: Really though, I think I will love the thing once I finnaly get going. The pre-amps sound pretty good (can anyone tell me what pre-amp was ever made that wasn't class A?) And the guitar DI's seem actually usable. Ptron

Just a little new info Ben In Cakewalk Options>Audio I selected Driver Bit Depth 16 then File Bit Depth 16 then closed and restarted Cakewalk. It didn't help. I then opened Aardvark manager and noticed it had seemingly "reset" itself in that, under Source Select, in the white box it was set...

Re: Re: MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!! Well, I don't know, does it? Look man, I'm a Rock N' Roller, not a computer wiz:D By the way, that advice is specifically for XP. Ptron

Can you do this in 2.x too? Not that it really matters at this point, since I don't have 2.x anymore... Ptron

I keep speaking (posting) too soon :mad: :mad: :mad: Problem NOT solved. Instead of re-typing all this stuff, here's a copy of my E-mail to Aardvark. There's a little tidbit at the end that seems like it could be the key to all this but I'm obviously not a very good computer geek so I don't...

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!! ALL FIXED! I think. I won't have time to mess with it extensively until this weekend. I had been trying to deal with Cakewalk mostly but I fired off an E-mail to Aardvark a coupla days ago and got a response today. Here's what fixed it: "Go to OPTIONS | AUDIO | DEVICE...

It looks like my beef is with Aardvark then. And it's a big beef. Cakewalk PA9 is part of the product they're selling. To buy the thing and find that PA9 is inherently incompatible with it...well it's like selling a car with a years supply of gas and it turns out the gas is deisel. The Q10 quite...

Well, supposedly Sonar 2.2 supports ASIO, at least according to the tech support E-mail I got from them. That's why they want me to upgrade to it. I don't really know myself what all that stuff (ASIO, whatever) is about so don't take my word for it... or theirs. I plan on researching this stuff...

I just got a reply from Cakewalk tech report. They say the problem is the ASIO thing. They advised me to get get the upgrade to Sonar, of course. I don't totally understand yet what ASIO or MME and all that jazz is but WHY THE HELL IS THE Q10 PACKEGED WITH A PROGRAM THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT IT ...

Sorry if that's a missuse of the term "automatable effects" What I'm looking for is the ability to set effects to come in or out, or change certain parameters within a track by drawing envelopes or remembering my real-time adjustments. I've used N-track 2 point something for a while but to be...

Everything works just dandy in N-track A friend reminded me that N-track will record multiple channels @ once so I gave it a test (never had a multi-channel sound card before so I never tried it). Unfortunately, I don't have the install program for my registered 2.x version anymore so I had to...

I appreciate your reply Emeric, but it ain't gonna happen. All my dough is blown and then some. I would think that since Cakewalk PA9 comes with the Q10, there has to be plenty of people out there who use it successfully. Maybe with minor problems but what I've got is a trainwreck. Gotta get...
