Please help! I have a new PC and I installed my Sonar 2.2 and Delta 1010 card. I backed up my project from my old computer (using Sonar's Consolidate Project Audio function) and copied those files to the new computer. I load the project in Sonar and see everything as it should be, but when I...

I've got a Delta 1010 running Sonar 2.2. Everything is going great- I've done my first couple of multitrack projects as I learn the system. However, I've been recording in 16bit. I want to use 24bit for my next project. I went into Sonar under Options - Audio and I see that Audio Drive Bit...

I've got a Mackie 1642-VLZ Pro mixing board, and a dbx provocal unit. Up to now, i've only used the provocal with 1 mic plugged directly into it, and then it out to the Mackie. My question is: for band practice when I might have 4 mics plugged into the Mackie, can I connect the provocal to...

Does the POD send a balanced signal to the mixing board? I'm wondering if should I go POD > DI Box> Board, or can I go from POD> Board. We seem to get a hum in the speakers when we connect the POD. Thanks for your help, TT

I recently ordered a Mackie 1642VLZPro which I will use in my home studio along w/ Sonar 2.0. Sometimes our rock/folk rock band will rehearse in the home studio, and sometimes I'll take the Mackie to a gig to use as our mixing board. My question is this: Do I need an outboard Reverb or vocal...

What's best to connect a Mackie VLZPromixer to a Delta 1010?- I want to send 8 outs from the mixer to the 1010. Should I get a recording snake that has 8 cables? Would I get balanced or not? And if I got a second snake could I simulaneously hook up 8 outs from the 1010 to the Mackie? thanks, TT

I've got a Mackie 1642 VLZ Pro mixing board on the way. I want to set up my home studio for live studio jams using headphones. I'm thinking i'll have 2-3 vocal mics, and the guitarists will use their Pods or similiar direct into the board, and I'll put a few mics on the drums. My question is...

With a Delta 1010 do I need to buy a separate MIDI Interface? thanks TT

I'm really interested in Motion Sound's KBR 3D keyboard amp. Does anyone here have any opinions / experience/ rumors etc. that they'd like to share? I don't have a place nearby to demo it. I'm thinking of buying one from a place with a return policy in the event I don't like it. It is very...

Any successes/failures using a Delta 1010 with Windows XP? I'll be using Sonar 2.0XL. I need to upgrade my operating system and it seems like it wouuld be easiest to upgrade to XP Home. I have a Delta 1010 card on the way and before I buy the software upgrade would like to know if there's...

Any suggestions for inexpensive headphones to have in the home studio as #3, 4, and 5 headphones (i'll have 2 better sets, but want a full set to have around). The main use will be for practice sometimes where all 5 of us will wear headphones. Would a pair like the AKG K55 ($30) or AKG K66...

I've got a Mackie 1642VLZ Pro on the way. Any opinions on a good headphone amp to use so that I can get up to 6 headphones in use at one time? Thanks TT

If I were to buy a brand new PC, can anyone weigh in on the benefits of having Soundchaser, Carillon, or Aspect build it for me instead of customizing my own system from, say, Cyberpower or Dell or a local vendor? I like the fact that these guys specialize in Audio-optimized PC's and use...

I am ready to buy some gear and software and begin my own home recording projects. I plan to use Sonar 2.0 XL and a Delta 1010 for multitracking vox, guitars, drums, keys etc. and I want to explore MIDI and samplers and digital FX. My current question is: I currently own a P3 1GHZ. I can go...

I'm making my computer decision to setup a PC based system to go along with a Delta 1010 and Sonar. Are there advantages to choose an AMD system rather than a Pentium IV or vice versa? And when, for example, Cyberpower offers a choice of Motherboards is there a particular one for best...

I've been doing a lot of reading and learning about home studio/recording options and i'm just about ready to make a final decision, and any insight or comments would be welcome. Background: I've recorded on a handful of records over the last 8 years, from bedroom studio to pro studio from...
