    I wanna go back to Sonar 2

    I've been playing with a downloaded version of Sonar 3 Producer to see if I should spend the cash to upgrade (all I do is record live instruments, I wanted to make sure it's not $200 for midi stuff). The version I was using expired, which is fine...I only noticed cosmetic changes even though...

    audio to MIDI?

    I record real drums, but my thinking is i can get one kick ass snare track hit, and then never have to stress again, I can just play and then replace the good snare over the tracked snare...

    audio to MIDI?

    i did a search and didn't find anything, can you record an audio file and then turn it into MIDI? I'm looking to put a mic on a snare and then replace that file with a pre-recorded snare file. I know there are programs like Drumagog, but this might give more control. thanks

    I can't go any further till I know the "Speak"

    I clicked on the Homasote "where do I buy" and was sad when it showed "0.0 miles to nearest dealer" thinking they don't sell in the North East...no, that meant they sell it at the Mom and Pop place at the bottom of the hill!!!!!!!!!! Now that I can get it, where do I put it?

    Two construction questions for which I need quick answers

    I just had the same delema...I set up a whole new wall. You gain two things, one...duh, double wall for sound proffing, two is I learned that you should never trust that the outside wall or foundation is straight...by putting up a new "inside" wall you can make sure that your 4 walls are true...

    My "burned" version sounds like Ass!

    It was that stupid Roxio!!!!!!!!! I burned using MusicMatch, which crashes and I need to re-boot to get my disc out, but the fact that I'm now almost not crazy I guess is worth it. Now over to sampling rates (its the little pc things that are hard to learn on your own) I was under the...

    My "burned" version sounds like Ass!

    I'm sampling at 22kHz with a bit depth of 24, which i switch to 16 when I export. But I can't stress enough, wav on the harddrive sounds yummy, wav on the disc sounds yukky. I'm going to try to burn a disc with the track as a MP3 and listen to it in my MP3 player.

    My "burned" version sounds like Ass!

    Whats killing me is that I use the same blank discs and the same program when I make a mix disc of "commercial" stuff, and never a problem...I think the next step is to e-mail it to a buddy and burn it there to try to narrow down the problem.
