How come Charlie does not hit the hihat at the same time he hits the snare? It's like he leaves a hole there. Someone said that Jim Keltner sometimes plays the same way. True? I don't understand. For my playing, I like to hear how the snare is in sync with the hihat. It lets me know if I am...

First time MP3 post here. It's a love ballad sung in Thai. I'd like to hear any comments. Thanks. Voc: MXL V67G, VC64, Perfect Space Reverb Piano, drums, bass: Kurzweil K2600 Cymbal crash:real sample Acoustic:Martin DC-1E mic V67G and SP B-1 Tamborine:real, SP B-1 Used a RME FF800, mixed in...

Does anyone know what kind of guitar this is? Thanks.

I have an old cassette tape mix where I doubled the vocals in stereo to give a wide image. It sound almost like two vocals hard panned R and L. I think I used a stereo multieffects box I sold. Now I am using Sonar 3 and I am trying for the same effect with a lead guitar part. I cloned the track...

I have a dedicated computer using Sonar 1 with the latest CWAF. The setup is simple with a clean Windows install. C: drive for Sonar and plugins and D: for all audio files. When I run CWAF (with all drives checked in the option) it says all files are missing. When I click Locate Missing it finds...

Is there any way to raise the pitch of one note in an audio clip about a half semi-tone? I have a good vocal take with one slightly off note. The rest are on and I know I'll never get a take that good again. I can't reproduce the compression, eq, and reverb when I tried overdubbing because I...

I've read all the initial posts on different boards about it but now that it's been out awhile is it still worth the $200? Since I cannot spring for the Waves price I would have to go with this or nothing. Of course I don't expect miracles and I think I've got a realistic view of what it can do...

When recording, I use 44.1 kHz and 24 bit and to mixdown and export a song for burning I dither to 16 bit wav file. Works fine. Now if I were to record at 48 kHz would I end up 48 kHz wav file after export? If so, that means Sonar doesn't have a sample rate conversion feature? Is this true?

I see more and more live bands place the two overheads on each side of the drum kit instead of the center x-y configuration. Is this because kits are getting bigger? Solves phase issues? The mike stands can't reach that far? Or is this just for live bands but in the studio it's still center x-y...

I am using the Roland Studio Pack that has a Delta PCI card called RPC-1 and I record with Sonar. Because I sometimes get the odd click on some recordings I decided to update the driver. I downloaded the newest one along with the Delta Uninstaller. I uninstalled the current driver and loaded the...

I am using Sonar and a Roland VM3001Pro. When overdub recording the current instrument is too loud in the mix that I am missing cues. Muting the channels on the mixer helped but it is still too loud. I must be missing something here. If I lower the Sonar volume in Track view to say -50 dB the...

Hi, I am doing a project on Sonar at 44 kHz and 24 bit. My friend is using CW PA9 at 44 kHz but at 16 bit. We are using the same midi piano track as the click track to maintain timing while recording separately. I can't paste his tracks in Sonar because of the bit rate difference. I am...

My soundcard shares irq 11 along with the modem and video card. There's also 3 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering in 11 too. I would assume either the video card or soundcard is steered away to an unused irq during recording/playback. But what raised my concern is that my scsi controller card...

Okay, they just shipped last week. I bought it Sat and installed it. New Dell. PIII 1 GHz, Intel chipset, 256 RAM, ATA 100 HD for the OS, 40 GB Ultra 160 SCSI for sound files. Windows ME. Sonar (did not install Logic that came with it). It installed perfectly and has WDM driver. It was up...

Not an expert in OSs but my understanding is that 98SE and ME allows applications software to directly access hardware but with 2000 all commands from the application program are routed through the OS. Wouldn't this lead one to think that 2000 would be slower than 98SE and ME because of all the...

I need to buy a couple of XLR to 1/4" transformers and looking for advice for one that has good quality. I read an article in the April 2001 Recording mag about a DIY unbalanced-to-balanced project. The transformer the author originally used ended up having a low-end rolloff. The author...

Like a lot of people lurking around these days I'm setting up a DAW. The computer part was easy, 1 GHz PIII, 512 ram, ultra 160 SCSI dedicated music drive, Sonar, etc. Since I don't have a mixer, preamps, or outboard compressor it appears that the VM 3100 Pro is a deal. I need 8 inputs and the...

Hi. New to this site and have a cover version of Pink Floyd's Echoes from the Meddle album. Any advice or comments are welcome. The files are big and the song is split into two parts. About 10 minutes for each part. It was recorded on a VS-880 and mixed on Cakewalk. Thanks...
