    Staff not being displayed correctly - Sonar 8.5.3

    See pic. For no apparent reason, notes in the Staff View began to clump together as though I had the wrong snap value set. I didn't, the correct value (1/8th) and even a 16th was set but the notes snap into each other. The pic shows kick drum hits on a MIDI track which are actually 1/8th apart...

    What keyboard?

    Can anyone tell me what keyboard/sound was used in the song Philadelphia by Springsteen/Young? Or where I can find a very similar sound. Thanks - rev

    Just a tip

    If your BIOS supports it, you can set it up so that pressing any key on the keyboard starts the computer. What's the difference between pressing a key on the keyboard and pressing the power on button? - you might ask. None, for most people, but for digital audio nerds it means you can put the...

    Violin sound.

    Kill the Reverb! Reverb prolongs the note, especially the way you have it set. That makes the previous note blend into the next one because the reverb continues to decay after you've stopped playing. Reasons for using reverb: 1) To replace the natural reverb that's lost when you use a cable...

    Vocals sound great through headphones but fall flat through computer speakers?

    When you mix in headphones, it's the same as having your speakers in a straight line with you. i.e. L ----- you ----- R. When you switch to speakers you're changing the position of the source. The physical speakers are now at two points of an equilateral triangle (you being at the third...

    Curser/Split Marker And Time Lines

    Turn off Snap to Grid! I don't know where it's found in your software but that's all you have to do. It might be called something else in Reaper 'Snaps' or 'Snap Increment.' Most of the time you want Snaps on so don't forget to switch them back on. You're not stuck with the default Snap...

    Need advice on absorption panels

    I have a concrete room which badly needs absorption panels. I bought some foam squares with the V shape cuts in them from Amazon but they don't look up to the job. The rest of the info is in the attached doc. The system: Martin Logan XLS (fronts) Magnaplanar (rears) Sony Subwoofer Emotiva 2000...

    MIDI notes appear in red

    I've got a project in which MIDI notes appear in red as they're being played. I haven't seen that before and I found nothing in the Help. Does anyone know what that means? Thanks - rev (Sonar 8.5.1)

    Sound absorbtion panels

    I wasn't sure where to put this message. I bought 100 sound absorbtion panels from Amazon but I think I've wasted my money. They're a foot square, flimsy foam cut in a zig zag, I have no idea if they have any sound damping properties at all. My question are: 1) How do you determine where to put...

    Melodyne 5 - nothing happens

    I Import some guitar picking and nothing happens, there's nothing where the display would normally show the notes. I don't even see the little circle that tells you it's detecting anything. I know there's a bug, if you have more than one time signature in the source file, Melodyne will fail, but...

    Looking for tips on drums

    I'm thinking of getting a basic kit, a few pads and some headphones. Does anyone have advice? I don't know the budget yet but ideally, I'd like to be able to select different kits or kit pieces. Any tips on how to learn would also be cool, do you start with AC/DC tracks, books, courses? Thanks...

    Incoming messages change pitch and tempo

    Any incoming message from Whatsapp or email changes the pitch and tempo of the song I'm working on in Sonar. The only thing I can think of that might do that is if incoming messages are sending (deliberately or by accident) a change of bitrate. Has anyone heard of this problem or know what's...

    Problems setting up Superior Drummer 3

    I just installed about 38 gigs of samples (the core library) using the provided installer and SD3 can't find them. The SD3 interface shows 'Current Drum Kit RAM usage is 580 Meg', but right next to that it says 'No drumkit loaded.' I installed the core MIDI library and SD3 can't find it. It...

    Trying to authorize VPS Avenger

    I have a license file but I don't know what to do with it. I can't invoke the program because the plugin scanner isn't picking it up - presumably because it isn't yet authorized. Anyone? Thanks - rev

    Looking for a simple mastering suite

    I have no experience with mastering except one try. I found that mastering changes the mix! I'd spent hours getting that mix just as I wanted it, constantly tweaking everything as I went. So do you mix, trying to anticipate how mastering will change it? I don't get it. I've never understood...

    Can anyone give me reasonable starting numbers for all the buffers?

    DM: Thanks, I fixed it by pulling off the impossible. I got Win 7 installed on an Asus Z390-E mobo (not supposed to be possible) with 3.1 USB drivers, updated, activated, virus free and totally rocking. MS did everything in their power to prevent installing Win 7 on my hardware but I was once a...

    How do I redirect Omnisphere to the STEAM folder?

    I'm getting an error 'can't access 'program data/STEAM' because I don't have my steam folder in the default location but I don't know how to tell Om where Steam is! Thanks - rev
