I am finding it difficult to drag wav files to exactly where I want them. Sometimes I get it right there but other times it takes forever. Is there some kind of fine tuning mechanism for this that I am missing?
 
slim - sorry i cant help u on yer question, but the reason that im posting is that i just saw a post that u put up back in november describing your set-up and its exactly the same set-up that i came to a conclusion on after about two weeks of research. my intentions are to use the aardvark direct pro 24/96 to record and play-back, and n-track to mix. i'm planning on my computer to have P-III 800, 256 RAM and (2) hard drives, prob 20/30.

i just wanted to ask u how you've liked that set-up?

i'm also planning to use REASON use a software synth/sampler/drum machine - most of my source material will come from vinyl records, electric and acoustic guitars and vocal mic.

thanks man - good luck with yer question (could it be a bad mouse or touch pad?)
 
I like. I don't have much to compare it to, but I think the quality is at least as good as a demo I did in a professional studio. I'm just using mics so far, but I see no reason why you should have any problems with your other sources. BTW, you have PLENTY of power and storage.

Since I'd never done this before, the first completed song took forever as I learned how it works. But any problems I've had have been user-created. That first song is a pretty simple acoustic piece -- check it out at http://www.mp3.com/LarryKolker.

I've been recording and mixing at 44.1 mh. I'd like to go to 96 (and then convert to 44.1 at the end to go to mp3 or CD) -- the only problem with that is that the Direct Pro's effects are disabled at 96. (I've been using a little compression when I record, and if I record at 96 I'll have to use the n-track effects for everything, which may be just as well.)

Have fun.
 
Do you mean what n-track calls its offset feature when you talk about dragging tracks?If you zoom in on the region you are working on, you can then click-drag the wave with almost sample level accuracy.

Thanks, Tom, I hadn't thought of zooming in first. I'll give it a try...
 
I'm New but I wouldn't even try mouse dragging since I've discovered the offset feature.
