I use Sonar and would like to hear from Sonar users who use this product. I know purists don't endorse it, but it could become a useful tool.

Sonar 2.1, P3, 512mb ram, (2) 30gb harddisks, one for system/program files, other for audio files. Dual boot system: 98se and XP Problem: Sonar freezes up when I try to select and "manipulate" a track. Specifically, I have a song with 7 audio tracks and 2 midi tracks with very little in the...

I know there are a lot of ACID and Sonar (loop) users on the BBS so I'm hoping to get someone's experience here: I like to use drum loops in Sonar 2. I have a few cd's (drum tools and some celebrity drummers). The cd's were expensive ripoffs that are very limited and do not offer much in the...

I am using Sonar, have a Roland e-drumkit about 10 feet from the computer. Ideally, for tracking, I would have transport control from the drumkit...I rarely get it on the first take and am always standing up, climbing around back to the keyboard to undo, rewind and restart. Pretty cumbersome...

I have a Roland TD5 kit, with a "kat bar" that has two pads/strips. One is used for crash, other for ride. It is ridiculously clumsy and I would prefer two cymbal stands (I have an extra pad and would purchase another). My dilemna: anyone know of a thrifty way to make these stands? The...

I tried a search in this forum but came up with nothing. Problem: I'd like to make some "groove clips" for looping. Specifically, I would like to take a repetitive bass line or guitar part, say the "verser" and turn it into a clip. When I do this, and try to paste it repetitively, I am...

Because I no longer play out and rather spend time in my 12' x 13' home studio, I need to downsize on some equipment. I have a bass rig, Fender BXR 400 biamp, Hartke 210XL, Bag End S18B-D. My local guitar shop won't consign the Bag End because they say 18" are falling out of favor. SHIT, I...

Not trying to start a discussion on why or why not one would work in 24 bit. But does anyone believe that they are working in 24 bit under Win 2000 or Win XP? If so, how do you know? This is not a "loaded question", here is why: I own an Egosys Wamirack 24...works great under 98 SE w/...

I am thinking about migrating to SONAR. I already own ACID PRO. Will it be pointless to keep ACIC Pro? I could use this toward a competitive upgrade and save about $100. I'm just concerned that I will lose some editing features. Opinions?

I think I am migrating to SONAR anyway, but it would be a little cheaper if I do the competitive upgrade...sending Cakewalk my ACID disk. My question is can SONAR handle editing as well as ACID?

I recently purchased a used EB Musicman Stingray for cheap. At the store, it had a noisy pickup...a buzz/hum that you could eq out with the treble band. I was fairly convinced that it was the abundance of flourescent lighting and neon signs so I didn't fret too much (nice pun eh?). Well I...

I know I asked this question awhile back and the answer was ney... But...has anyone made their own expression pedal to work with the J-station? It is midi messages which I understand could be done fairly easy. I'm just not sure how to go about reverse engineering the thing....and don't want...

Help...I need to make a cable....to carry phantom power. It needs to go from xlr (at the mic) to a 1/4 TRS......is there any trick to this or is it simply a "balanced" line? Quick answers are appreciated as I need to get this done tonight! Thanks all! Yadi

I'm thinking of picking up a copy of ACID 3.0 today. I want to primarily use it to create drum tracks. I use Cubase. Will I be able to import ACID tracks into Cubase?

anybody know where I can find a breath controller that will work with my Alesis QS8.1? I'm not looking for a "midi" controller such as the yamaha or akai that has actual keys and plugs in via midi, but I am looking for an "expression" breath controller that plugs into one of the pedal jacks on...

I recorded a song in Cubasis VST. I then realized that when my computer was built they used the larger HD for the system files, not doing what I requested. So I had them switch the drives for me. In the process they managed to save all of my data. I re-installed my Cubasis VST, but when I...

Thanks for looking at this..... Cubasis VST - LE (it came free with my interface) I've been using it for about a week recording at 44.1/16. Is this softare limited to only 16 bit? I've searched all over the net and within the manual and there isn't any specific answer. Also, can I record...

Slack..I think you hit it on the head...or was it the tits...with whipped cream? whatever it may be... I think one of my chief complaints about a lot of two channel recording is the lack of separation and definition of different parts/instruments in certain recorded material. I would guess...

I am hearing crosstalk across tracks in cubasis....not loud...but its there. Funny thing is that all the tracks were either midi instruments or recorded via j-station spdif outputs....in other words, no microphone/headphone bleed. Is this normal? Is it the software or the equipment (wami24)...

I am still shopping audio cards such as aardvark pro 2496 and ego sys wamirack24. Without debating the best sound cards, can anyone tell me if I could benefit from the additional midi ports provided on the wamirack24? I believe it is 4 ins/outs of midi for the wamirack vs 1 in/out on the...
