Sonar 2? Sonar 2? I haven't even recorded anything worth burning in Sonar 1 yet! Sheez! -j

I'm using the XP-30 instrument definition that came with Sonar. Blech! Is there a better one out there? I'd ideally like to see patch mode definitions that group all the similar sounds together like the "category" mode on the synth itself does. I don't want to have to hunt for my "big hair lead...

My setup: Sonar XL, Aardvark Q10, Roland XP-30. Questions: 1. When I choose inputs and outputs for an audio track in Sonar, I have to choose pairs of inputs or outputs, rather than single inputs and outputs. Is Sonar not capable of addressing all of the Q10's inputs and outputs...

My tribute to Devo. Recorded vox and guitar w/ a $12 Wal-Mart computer mic. Drums and synth bass courtesy the cheap, generic sound card that came stock w/ my home PC. Mixed on Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 w/ the stock speakers that came with the computer and a cheap pair of headphones. I'm working...

What do you do differently if you're chasing a publishing deal versus a record deal? I'm planning to press my first CD of demos sometime next year, and I haven't decided exactly how I should approach it. It looks like Oasis CD offers some cool promo stuff, but if I want a publishing deal, do I...

Ok. I've done some really awful recordings w/ Cakewalk 8, a stock sound card, and a $12 Wal-Mart mic. This is one of 'em. I bought Sonar XL, an Aardvark Q10 and some other stuff, and I'm gonna try to do this right. I thought it might help me to let you folks listen to some of the old...

Have y'all ever noticed that even stinky-bad lyrics can sound great in a song as long as they're delivered w/ confidence/gusto/bullocks? Some Smiths tunes come to mind, but there are examples everywhere... Oh, and there was that Blues Traveler song about singin' w/ inflection... Thoughts...

I ordered my Aardvark Q10 from Bayview Pro Audio because it came w/ a free SE Electronics SE 2000 mic. I'm not familiar with this mic. Is it any good? Right now, all I have is a Shure SM57 and an SM58, so I'd like to put this new mic to use if I can... Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your...

Is the Aardvark Q10 capable of 24/96 recording? I've ordered one, and I assumed it would be, but I just found this in the manual: Source Select This lets you select what sample rate you want to use the Q10 at. You can select 32 kHz,44.1 kHz,48 kHz,or slave to S/PDIF. This automatically sets...

Gurus, I'm ready to upgrade my home recording studio, and I've decided to purchase SONAR XL and an Aardvark Q10. I plan to buy another computer, too, but I'd like to get your advice on what I should build. I've also got a couple of mics and a Roland XP-30 synth I'll want to connect to the...

I just bought a Roland XP-30 for use with Cakewalk. Can I communicate with it using the standard roland.ins instrument definition from the Cakewalk website, or do I need another .ins file? If I need another one, is there one publicly available, or am I gonna hafta write one? Thanks for your...

One of the things I liked about the Aardvark Direct Pro was that it looked like I was going to be able to get by without a mixer. (I think it even does phantom power for mics!) I generally record one track at a time - sometimes 2 - and mix with Cakewalk. Is there not a good synth sound card...
