I agreee, try reinstalling newer drivers. If that doesn't work,try: Right Click on 'My Computer' Properties Hardware Device Manager Disk Drives right click on your drive Right click properties Policies UNCHECK enable write caching on the disc While your there, also make sure that your IDE/ATA contro...

Not all midi devices have in and out. Some (mostly older) devices have just an in or out (some older footswitches have just an out). This is called an 'open loop' conection becasue a controller sends a message, but has no way to see if the message has been recieved. It works fine in some situations,...

Having an external mixing board will not nessesarily solve your problem. If you are having latency issues the things you should be looking at are: 1- Is your system configured properly. Run the wave profiler, examine your cache settings and be sure that your sound card drivers are current. 2- How mu...

Sue, First, are you using ProAudio, SOnar or some other program? The general way to make audio cd's is to save your finished file as a stereo 16 bit 44.1Khz .wav file. Best way to do this is tools/mixdown to file/.wav save this file somewhere close (like your desktop). Your burning software should a...

I believe Sonar 3 runs vst. upgrade and solve your problems, plus get some great new features

Another thing to ALWAYS make sure to do is some registry editing. After you uninstall a program it usually sits around in the registry for ever. I think almost every pc on the planet has remnets of aol and that gator sursor in the registry! To clean up the registry, go to start/run/regedit then use ...

Personally, I use GigaStudio along with Cakewalk to record my rums. Here's how it works: 1- In SoundForge I cut my wav files down to the correct length 2- I import them into GigaStudio and assign each wav to a key on my midi controller (keyboard) 3- I load this newly created instrument into GigaStud...

If you invest in a condensor mic you are also going to have to buy a phantom power supply. Condensor mics are great, but are rather expensive. I was giving my advice based on you wanting to save money. If you do go the condensor route, check out the Rode NT1. It's a great all around condensor and it...

By Arabic sounds do you mean arabic samples or a keyboard that is set up with a different type of tuning than what we are used to? Under 'Sourse' check to see that the port, sourse and bank are correct. Also, when you say 'start again' do you mean listen back or are you attempting to record a differ...

Rich, Let's start with your guitar and go from there. How exactly are you recording it? Direct or through a miked amplifier? Is there anything else (like a pod) in the signal chain? The first suggestion I would have is to evaluate how your guitar sounds before it hits Sonar. Sometimes our recorded s...

What version of Cakewalk are you using? If you are using Pro Audio 7 or higher (excluding Sonar) try: Options/Audio/Advanced Check to see if 'Simultanius Record/Playback' is checked. If it is not, check it and resart Cakewalk. If it is uncheck it and check it and start Cakewalk. You may also want to...

A few questions: 1- Go to Options/Midi Devices and make sure all your M-Audio midi ports are selected. Highlight them and click 'move selected instruments to the top'. 2-Go to Options/Instruments. If you haven't already defined the mpc, you may want to do it now, although it's not nessesary. Make th...

Well, it is possible to record your guitar in ProAudio 9. I have been using PA9 since it's introduction and it has served me quite well. I upgraded to Sonar 3 just this week. At the simpleset level, you need a microphone (assuming your guitars are not electric) and a soundcard (I am assuming your co...
