Okay, so I’m being forced to upgrade. My computer is the most stable I’ve ever used, and I’m afraid that changing the OS will mess it all up, but no one makes software for Win98 anymore. So I want to get some opinions on Win2000 and XP. Mostly, which one is more stable.

I know that pitch bending correlates directly with sample rate, but does it affect bit rate at all? Sounds do tend to register louder in the VU meters when I bend up 12 semitones.

I'm trying to get information on the KP2. I read a user review of the original Kaoss Pad, which talked about an auto-sampling feature that aloud the user to spontaneously slowdown, rewind, or "stutter" the music. None of the product reviews I've read of the original Kaoss or the KP2 have talked...

I’ve looked into the CM Labs PM216 and Sound Sculpture's Switchblade GL. The price is right for the PM216 but it doesn’t have the ability to merge inputs (what were they thinking?). I think they must have left this out just so they could sell it cheaper. The Switchblade has everything I would...

I do most of my music with a digital sampler (ASR-10 to be specific), but I’ve been experimenting with recording all the tracks separately and mixing them in my computer. I’ve been recording from the sampler's analogue outputs (the ASR-10 has both analogue and digital outputs), but I recently...

My PC is still running Win98 so I’m not able to upgrade from CWHS 2002, which can only export at 48 khz. I do have a lap top that’s running XP though. So I was thinking I would get HS 2004 or Sonar for it (which I will eventually move to my PC when I upgrade). That way I can load the files into...

I’d like to hear what your favorite EQ plugin is for mixing, and why. I’ve been using TC native EQ, but it has some quirks I can’t stand.

Hello. I’ve read Blue Bears “mixing 101” thing. I was wondering if using filters would leave behind the same artifacts that EQ’s leave. I’m doing a mix down of a composition that primarily uses samplers (which have non-resonant high pass and low pass filters). I was thinking that I could change...

Hello. I recently finished my first mix down. It took some time but very pleased with the results. I did the mix down in Cakewalk Home Studio, and now I’m wondering what would be the best way to convert it to stereo. Should I just export to wave file, or should I play it from Home Studio, and...

Hello. I’m looking to do some multitracking on my computer, and I had some questions about software. Is there a difference in sound quality between different multitracking programs, or do they mainly just differ in features? Thanks nb
