This is driving me nuts. On my computer, it seems that all of the PA 9 audio data from all of the songs that I record is stored in one giant folder in Cakewalk. (To open a song, I'm simply opening a shortcut to all of the audio files). So how do I delete a single song with all of its data...

Hi all, I'm pretty lousy at recording drums. Could someone share with me some typical compressor settings for snare and kick drums? I know that this will depend on the drummer and the sound that I am after - I'm just looking for a setting to start with. This is for a rock band - I would like to...

Hi everyone, Anybody ever have this problem? When I'm mixing in console view, I can see all of the levels for each track, but all of a sudden, I can no longer see the master levels. This was quite helpful in helping me bee sure that the overall level of the mix was not clipping. Anybody know...

Anyone know of any good EQ plugins for PA 9? I find the EQ graph that it comes tih very difficult to work with (I didn't do very well in physics) and would like to have a multiband graphic eq that looks more like an outboard unit. Any ideas?

Am I doing something wrong? When I record using PA 9, and mix down and burn to CD, it plays back at quite a low volume. My last project was mastered at a mastering house, but it seems to me that the quality of the recording was compromised when they raised the volume of the tracks at the...

Help! I'm trying to record as new tune. I've recorded 23 tracks of audio, and now the tune keeps dropping out (on both playback and recording). I've adjusted the buffer to "safe," but it's still doing it. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? I'm bringing a drummer in later, and I know...

Any idea if it is possible to import wave files into Cakewalk? Also, this is not really a Cakewalk question but proabaly an easy one for someone out there. I often use a free program called "Sound Studio" to convert songs from CDs to Wav files. This program allows me to cut and paste bits and...

I'd love to see some of your pics of cool vintage strats, teles and Gibsons. I'll put up some pics of my own gear in the next few days.

There has got to be an easy way to burn a project from PA9 straight to CD and be able to listen to it, right? I've been using mixdown to mix it to one track, and then mixing it down to wav form. Then I have to bring it into Samplitude, and convert it to MP3. Then I've been using Jam on my Mac...

Some dude told me that he had a mic cable wired out of phase so that when he used it to mic a kick drum, he wouldn't pick up nearly as much of the snare through the kick mic. Could somebody explain how the hell this works? Or if it wirks?

Heres an awesome tip for those of you looking for a good set of headphones that won't bleed into the vocal and drum mics. A sound guy I know builds headphones into protective hearing muffs. No kidding, this guy takes Peltor hearing muffs (the kind that have the headband at the top), opens them...

What are you guys using to master your work. Do you do most of this work in Sound Forge? What else is out there that isn't that difficult for a simple brain like me to run?

I want to buy a really kick a$$ kick mic, but I don't want to fork out the dough for a AKG D12. What is a cost effective, but still great sounding alternative?

For a long time, I've been using expensive Shure pencil mics to mic snare drums. The other day, I read a great article about the dude who records Macy Gray. He says he uses SM57 on snares. This is nothing new, but I could never get a great sound with it. This guy suggested moving it way back...

I'm wondering if anyone can dolve this issue. I can't seem to be able to mix my tracks down to MP3. An error message comes up whenever I try. What am I doing wrong? I'm using PA 9 on a PC with Windows ME, if this helps. Thanks for any help I can get.

I'm wondering if anybody is using PA9 and Window ME. I've heard that there might be compatability issue between the two. Just curious if anyone has managed to make everything work smoothly. I'm just not ready to upgrade to Sonar, and I quite like ME.

I need Help! I'm running Pro Audio 9 on a PC (Windows ME). What's happening is that when I play back audio (and record) often one part of the song will play faster or slower than another. For example, the song will start fine, and then the bass track will start to play out of time with the drum...

I want to build a bass trap. Any idea what materials to use and what size it should be? Im building it on a 10'8" wall. The room is 10'8" X 9'. Will a single trap in a room this size be enough to rid the room of standing waves?
