ah ok, this makes sense. I guess I just kind of assumed the Firebox had a built in midi synth in it =S. Well, I'll see if any of this works and get back to you guys, thanks!

So I put a midi track that I had created elsewhere onto a midi track in Cakewalk, and I wanted the midi track to play while I was recording onto another track in Cakewalk. Once I got the midi track to playback properly using my integrated soundblaster soundcard, but with my Firebox hooked up...

Well, the metronome is definitely there in my recording, but you're right, it is barely audible, so I guess it's no big deal. But it does kind of annoy me because for some reason, when I listen to it on my headphones, even at not very high volume levels, the metronome click seems to like...

yes, keiffer I still hear distortion when I turn up my speakers, but after doing some thinking and after having been away from loud guitars and bass amps for a day or two, it makes me realize that maybe my clips are louder than I thought they were before, since I was used to everything being...

ok, well thanks for all the input guys. I guess maybe my speakers are just messed up, so I'll try playing this stuff on some other speakers also.

I was recording in Sonar Cakewalk with my Presonus Firebox. I took the line outs of my keyboard and inputed them into the Firebox, so no microphones were used at all, leaving me perplexed as to how the metronome snuck onto my recording, hehe. I used the audio metronome on cakewalk, and I...

ughh this is perplexing... Despite that the raw tracks may sound better, they make my speakers distort at even low volumes. I mean I could get new speakers, but still, I would think the bass would still clip at low levels on other people's speakers if they tried to listen to my mixes in that...

Well, despite the apparent crappyness of my speakers, my speakers are similar, I would imagine, to the speakers that countless other people use, and if my mix doesn't sound good on my speakers, I would reason that it would also not sound good on many other people's speakers. Additionally...

Ok I just finished recording and EQing a bass sample. I'm kind of new at recording, so I'm not sure if this is a decent sound. My setup: Ampeg bass amp into Presonus Firebox, with Sonar Cakewalk. The clips that have the bass amp mic'd are using an SM 57 (not the best for a bass amp, I know...

dbpower amp gives you lots of options, but it costs money. Itunes can do it for free, but with less options (mainly it lacks variable bit rate options I think)

Do you have any other firewire devices, such as an external hard drive that uses firewire? Test to see if those other devices work, thus you can narrow down the problem and see if it lies in your firewire card or elsewhere. If the problem is not in your firewire card, perhaps it is the Inspire...

In Sonar 5, it usually has the track name in the bars next to the track number and near the volume, pan, etc controls. For some reason, no track names display for me, and there is not text box in the bar where it should be... how can I get it to display?

My band and I wanted to experiment recording outside, like on my patio. We would just be most interested in experimenting with recording drums outside. We were wondering how this would affect the sound as compared with recording in the basement. When we record in the basement there is a kind...

recently happened to one of my HDs. Soon after much of my data was corrupted and unaccessible. There is a trick to recover some data if your HD is corrupted: put the HD in a ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer for a few hrs and then put it back in the computer while it is still cold...

yeah those tweaking tips could help a little but seriously they arnt gonna add up to a whole lot, and considering i have a 1.8 ghz processor which is way above the reqs that shouldnt be the problem. My suspicion now for the cause of the pops is my HD is a bit low on free space. I'll get a new...

I just received my Firebox yesterday, and I got a chance to try it out today. When I recorded in Cakewalk and played the audio back, it was full of pops. I tried everything suggested in the manual; the latency is set to the highest setting (25 ms), and I set the CPU setting to Lowest. All...

for what it's worth, when my teachers play movies for the class to view on their laptops and hook up the sound to the speakers in the classroom, when they run the laptop with it plugged into an outlet, there is a lot of background static-ish noise, but when they unplug the laptop and run it off...

ok, thanks for the confirmation.

Here's exactly what it says: "NOTE: Active instruments are those that have an internal preamp or a line level output. Active instruments should be plugged into a line input (3 or 4) rather than into an instrument input. In other words, don't plug an active intrument into the combo jacks on...

Well, I have heard of people using preamps on line level devices such as keyboards to add "color" to the sound. Why would it not be safe to do this using my Firebox inputs but it would be safe to do (presumably, as I have heard of others doing this) using an external preamp to add "color" to...
