I'm so frustrated with the complexity of Sonar, here's my plan, and I'd like to know what you think, and if you can fill in a couple of holes for me like: how does SMPTE work, and how can I use soft synths/midi with this set up.
Here's what I'm thinking of doing:
Cool Edit Pro
Guitar into Mesa preamp + TC G-Force into soundcard
Bass into TC G-Force/soundcard
Alesis HR-16 - used as a master and synced to Cool Edit, but I don't know the SMPTE part (could someone explain what I'd buy, and how it works...pretty please)
And various soft synths on my computer, triggered by an Edirol PCR-30, and hopefully recorded as midi (i.e., not in real time, since my keyboarding skills suck).
Will this type of thing work? What do I need for HR-16/SMPTE/syncing with Cool Edit?
If I use a stand alone soft synth like Absynth, can that be "SMPTEd up" as well?
Sonar is taking the fun out of this for me, I know it rocks, I just only have a day or two each week to sit down with music, and it's just too much work for me to learn so much.
Thanks very much,
Shawn
