    Does anybody actually use software input monitoring?

    Im just curious. Since sonar 3, i can remember there being a "software monitoring" feature that basically lets you monitor yourself in real time when recording. you can put effects on the feed in real time like reverb etc. Personally, i have had nothing but bad experiences with this feature. i...

    gereral dilemma with recording levels in sonar

    I thought this might have been a problem because i was using a tascam us-122, but now that ive upgraded to a 828mkII, i'm still having this same issue: basically, i can't decide where to set the trim on my preamps when recording. I usually try to set it so that the meters in sonar are as close...

    switched from an ibanez bass to a cort

    Just wanted to share my experience. I originally had a bottom-of-the-line ibanez bass. It was actually playable, i played many gigs with it last year. I didn't like the neck or the pickups becuase my finger kept falling off of it. I found a really nice artisan series cort, so i traded "up"...

    Hi guys i'm not a cubase user but need help from somebody who knows a bit about it. We got our demo tracks changed from analog to digital and the sound tech who did it used cubase SX 3 i believe. I want to get the tracks onto an external hard drive so i can take them home and mix them with...

    recording drums in sonar

    Hey guys i'm gonna take a stab at recording a drum kit, probably with something like a firepod. There will be at least 6 channels going in at a time. What i'm wondering is, what is the best way to set up sonar to do several takes of a song, so that we have different drum tracks to choose from...

    http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProjectMixIO-focus.html this thing looks pretty cool. it combines a pretty extensive DAW controller with the FW1814. I'll finally have a decent soundcard and a DAW controller, and it's an all-in-one unit, easy for transporting around. I like how it has 8...
