    metronome trouble

    well, whatever the problem was it went away on it's own. I changed the time signature to 8/8 and then it started working right; then I changed it back to 4/4 and it's still good. thanks for your input.

    metronome trouble

    I'm brand new to sonar (6.2pe) and computer recording in general. The metronome which i assume indicates bpm is way too slow, and has been since i started using the program; I have to adjust it to over 200 to get a similar tempo of say 120bpm. Any ideas?

    Downloading software updates

    How do I download a daw software update if my daw is kept off the internet? Should I download it into my web surfing computer, transfer it to disk and then install? I've just purchased sonar 6pe with a laptop and plan to keep it offline, and I know there'll be an update available soon. Thanks.

    drum tracks via samples

    Currently I record into a yamaha 2816. I use a keyboard sequencer for drums and program it out measure by measure. This is tedious; I'm considering buying a computer based DAW for several reasons, but my assumption is that adding drums maybe much simpler. I envision being able to track...

    Bought new saddles for my ABR-1

    I put a replacement bridge (abr-1) on my LP, and it was the same way; uncut. I asked the guy a tonepros about this and he suggested I just run it without grooving them. I've played it this way for nearly a year with no problems, i.e. string slippage, intonation problems, etc.

    preamp into Korg D16

    I can't answer your question exactly, but I had a similar situation with a yamaha 2816. I bought an rnp, and was able to turn the gain on the yamaha down to zero, which supposedly makes it like a line-in input. It worked great for me, and I could definitely tell a difference for the better.

    Major frustration: Les Paul Custom buzzing - advice

    My r9 les paul buzzed, and I discovered it was the abr-1 bridge. These are apparently notorious for rattling. I replaced it with a tone pros abr bridge which promptly stopped all buzzing.

    larivee acoustic

    I had never played one of these guitars, but had the chance today. I forget the exact model, but it listed for around $2400/sale price 1700. I usually grab a martin or taylor in that price range, trying to figure out which one I will eventually buy, but I was far more impressed with this...

    new speakers/old cab

    I've got a marshall 2x12 cabinet (1936) with celestion 75's. I am thinking about changing them out with a vintage 30 and a g12m. I read somewhere that this is a good combo of speakers for a 2x12, but I'm wondering if the speaker cab itself is subpar. In other words, would I be wasting good...

    motu vs digidesign

    I'm thinking of getting a computer-based recording setup. Currently my studio is based around a aw2816. It seems that the digidesign 002 and motu/digital performer get a lot of press, but I can't really tell what the main differences are. Can anyone offer some comparisons? thanks.

    studer revox "studio monitors"

    My neighbor told me about these "studio monitor speakers" he has; they've just been sitting around his house unused. They are labelled "revox" and he says they are made by studer, and claims they cost several thousand dollars many years ago. I saw them and they are huge, and weigh a ton...

    Rnc, Presonus Bluetube

    Yeah, I've still got the RNC. I haven't even used it once since my initial post. I plugged it up once since I bought it, so it's in perfect condition. I still have the original box. It's a great item, I just haven't needed an outboard compressor.

    qotsa/dave grohl/foo fighters

    Yeah, I don't mean to be harsh on the FF--I really like that CD. It's just that the drums stand out in a very impressive way on the qotsa cd.

    qotsa/dave grohl/foo fighters

    Does anyone else share this opinion? The new qotsa cd has a great drum sound; as far as rhythm and the actual sound. Of course Grohl was the drummer. Now, the new FF cd has what I consider to be a very mediocre drum sound, and even the rhythms sound like a drum machine. I'm surprised that...

    digi 002

    Well, the 002 comes as either a rack version or a control surface. I have neither, but my understanding is that the rack is basically the instrument/computer interface plus the pro tools LE recording software. The control surface is all of the above plus it serves as a hardware mixing...

    Do I really need an external mic pre-amp?

    I have a question for you Green Hornet; you say you seldom use the internal pres on your 2816-- how do you bypass them? I've read where people turn down the gain on the internal pre and just use the gain from the external pre, but you're still running the signal through two pre's. So, it...

    New KORG D16XD VERSES Yamaha AW2816

    tws I would go with either the 2816 or 4416. I have the former and have found it to be surprisingly simple to operate. The motorized faders are a definite plus. About the internal pre's, I really don't have a feel for their quality. I've wondered about getting a high quality mic pre, but...

    DAW Controllers

    I don't have one, but if I ever get into pc based recording, I'd definately get a control surface. I can feel my wrists getting "carpal tunnel-ish" just with occasional mouse use. I don't think they're that pricey because you're also getting A/D converters, sometimes a stand alone mixer, and...
