"In my Sonar book it says that if I just mute the tracks, the cpu still will read em" Hmm, I didn't know that. Well I have to say though that my CPU meter reads much lower when I have them muted so I question that a bit. Maybe it still reads them but the processing isn't nearly as burdened when...

I don't know much about that particular card but it seems to me that I remember hearing that it doesn't have a CD out on it. That's whay a lot of guys run 2 cards in their system (among other reasons.) Maybe they'll hang on to their old SoundBlaster or something like it just for playing back...

Just bring up the SB's mixer and on the left-hand side will be the record input device. Choose midi from that. Also make sure you have midi chosen from the mute/unmute outputs and adjust the faders. Then you should be able to record on a track in Elogic just fine. If you want to hear a midi...

It's definately not the SB Live.

More RAM will help but there are a lot of things you can do to free up system resources. Make sure that you don't have any unnecessary programs running in the background. Hit control-alternate-delete all at the same time and it will give you the "close program" box. The only things you should...

Like Slackmaster I think it's time I bowed out of this thread. I've said all I meant to and I don't think any of us is going to convince the other. But more importantly to me, it just isn't worth loosing sleep over. It's only music. It's non-eternal as the preachers say. We can go over the...

No need to get huffy pal. As far as using less than 24 mono tracks goes, we're an instrumental trio. We seldom fill up even 10 tracks. I hate big productions. It's nothing but a wall of clutter to me. My favorite recordings are almost all small trios, or soloists. My point was that Camn said...

Are those 24 "mono" tracks Emeric? If you're recording 24 stereo tracks at 24 bit with the gear you just described and "aren't" getting a lot of dropouts then my hats off to ya. I don't know how anyone can do that with only 256k (which is what we have also.) 500mg pen3 here, and only a 13 gig...

Well, Camn I know it all looks right on paper. And technically it 'is" right. But can anyone hear a difference? I just don't think so. I haven't filled up a lot of tracks at 24 yet but I've filled a bunch with 16 and I don't hear any problems with it. Sounds just fine. Sounds every bit as good...

"The reason they "slink off into the sunset" is that nobody in his right mind is going to spend the time to either retrack or convert an entire project and remix it in 16bit. Why the hell should I do that? Why don't *you* mix two projects at different bit depths and show me two identical end...

I've never owned one but I would guess that most people who have external CD burners hook them up through the spdf in/out on their soundcards. Even SB Lives have those. I wasn't suggesting that you need an external burner though. Yamaha and others make standard CDRW's to go in your box that are...

Basslord, I'm sorry if I sound disgruntled and even a bit disgusted at this whole thing but darn it, every time somebody jumps up and yells about how great 24 bit is, yada, yada, yada, and then you ask them to show you their great 24 bit recordings they slink off into the sunset. I'm just...

You get out of 16 bit recording exactly what you put into it. You can't improve on "exactly the same". If you can then lets hear it. Show us this magic recording at 24 bit that's supposed to sound better. Do what the man suggested and record something at 16 and then again at 24 and then post it...

Do indeed give it a try. Record something at 16 and again at 24. Then have someone "else" give you a blindfold test and tell me that you heard a difference. I've yet to meet anyone who could when I gave "them" a blindfold test. Not a single person ever. It's utter and absolute bologna! Save your...

Hmm, there are a number of arguments that always crop up in threads like these and I don't wish to add to them but, there are some things I think are worth mentioning: Before you just decide to record everything at 24 bit do some blindfold tests on yourself recording things at both 16 and 24...

I saw that thread in the Newsgroup too. I think the problem was with the new GT Pro and M Audio cards. The guy who originated the post seems very straight up to me so I think when he said M Audio told him there was an issue when using them with GT Pro that he was being truthful. Sadly, he said...

I would agree that every Hendrix album I ever heard sounded like it was poorly engineered. I'm not downing the music, just the engineering. Now oddly enough one of the best sounding albums I ever heard was also made at Electra Lady studios. You probably never heard of them but The Glass Harp...

A very timely topic for me. I came here specifically to see if anybody else had trouble with Hosa cables. I just bought a pair of insert Y-cables that are both Hosa. I would have liked to have gotten something else but after going to nearly every music and hi-fi store in St. Louis all I ever...

First of all, don't put effects units in front of ReValver (tubes=valves, get it?). I think the whole free world gets it. it's clear it is a post-recording effect for treating a dry track. Actually, that's not exactly correct. It has various modules that can be popped in and out of the chain...

Say Dragon; I always meant to tell you this kiddo: Pretending to be dozens of different people in order to gain interest in your website isn't really all that Kosher you know.
