I think I covered that in one of the other threads...I think the first one in the "General" forum. I don't know where it is in GT, but it's under "Options>Project>Clock" at the top of the screen in others. As I indicated, once you have just one audio track recorded, you need to set it to "Audio" for...

[color=red]Audigy Platinum Pro 2 proffessional soundcard (outboard) I've read a lot of threads and this problem people usually dismiss as a sound card issue, the sound card I'm using is built for recording and has been great for a year. The only other change I can think of is I have also put Microso...

Changing a hard drive shouldn't cause that. Something else must have changed. First, though, I'm going to assume that the new hard drive is the secondary drive used to record audio to, and the primary is the OS? How did you format it? How did you set the "cluster" sizing, or did you just let it defa...

I believe you have it understood. Load up a virtual instrument, and it should play back through the Firepod as audio, as long as you choose that as the output in the track. If you have a small mixer, you could run the Firepod outputs to it, and also the MIDI soundcard outputs, and then run the amp/s...

You shouldn't need any other software. Sonar should do most of it. As for the patch problem, what I always do is to start a MIDI file on the second measure. If you don't have a blank measure at the start of your MIDI file, insert one. Then, on one of the tracks, at the very beginning, I insert a GM,...

You may already know this, but here is what I suspect: Are you perhaps expecting to hear MIDI files played through the Firepod as they would through, say, a SoundBlaster card? I don't think the Firepod has MIDI sound-generating capabilities. It is an audio interface. When you set Sonar to "Firepod M...

I don't think so. Once the track is is assigned to a specific output, it stays with that output. You can change patches and banks on a specific device, but not devices. And if you think about it, that would greatly confuse things anyway. At least with the device that is actually being used showing i...

Somesax, Hard to say. That Realtek garbage is certainly not the best thing to use for quality audio. Without a doubt SOME of the problem may be coming from that. Level mismanagement may be the culprit. Are your recording levels too high or too low? Are you sure you are recording at least CD quality,...

Hmmm. First, perhaps just pan all the instruments to either the extreme left or right, then pan the click to the other. Depending on what you are using for MIDI sounds (software synths, onboard MIDI sounds, etc.?) then you need to render them to audio or record them back into the computer. I don't k...

Not sure anyone understands what you want to do, and why. You have MIDI tracks. You have a click track. You want it all to be on one track, and mono? Do you want to play them as audio tracks, or do you still want them as MIDI tracks? Why would you want a click track imbedded in the music? Most peopl...

Hard to say what's wrong. Could be settings. You say you could record fine with Sonar 2. What changed? I assume you are using a seperate hard drive for audio, and that it's clean and defragged, etc? Did you write down all the settings that you had in ver. 2, and then go through everything and try to...

One other thing you may consider eventually is to add another dedicated audio hard drive. Depending on how many tracks you will eventually pile on, it may work fine as is, but you may get to a point where it just won't take any more without dropouts or clicks, etc. If one hard drive is trying to rea...

Keep in mind that slowing down an audio track will also lower the pitch. I don't know what audio effects HomeStudio includes, but if it has Time/Pitch Stretch (look in the Edit area for Audio Effects), it may allow you to speed up or slow down the audio while preserving the pitch, (or conversely, ra...

Actually, I believe if you want the keyboard to respond to the computer, you'll need to set the sync to "Internal" (making Cakewalk the master) so the keyboard follows the MIDI sequence. If you set it to "MIDI", Cakewalk wants to be the slave to sync from another MIDI device. BTW, if you have any au...
