wow thx for all the info....ill definately take all that into consideration when I decide on a PC. One question though, this may sound stupid but if I'm just recording MIDI and converting it to audio later on and either putting it onto a CD or an MP3 player then do I need a 120 GB second hardive? If...

hey, I'm in the process on buying a new pc for SONAR. The one I have now is barely holding up. Anyway, i was wondering what the best operating system would be to use. I've heard that Windows XP can cause some problems but some people I've talked to also say that it is fine for SONAR. Also, should I ...

I know this is probably a stupid question but all of a sudden every first track in all of my songs in SONAR all have a vibrato effect and the only way to fix it is to lower the rate knob on my midi controller but I dont want to have to do this for every song. Also, the volume for track 1 is extremel...

thanks a lot for all the info...I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff when I do buy a new comp

I have a couple of questions about the best soundcards and computers for SONAR. First off, should I get a computer that is made just for SONAR? I need it to be able to play games as well. If not one of those then should I look into Dells? Also, what soundcars should I purchase? I've been using a Sou...

I'm having playback problems. When I change my MIDI data to audio by recording it over to an audio file my levels for recording are good, I think. They go up to 24 on an 84 range. Anyway when I disarm the audio track my playback levels aren't even there and I only hear static. Why are my playback le...

I've asked a question concernign this before and the answers I recieved helped but Im having trouble again. Im having trouble hearing audio and I want to be able to convert MIDI to audio to create wave/mp3s. I have a Edirol PCR midi keyboard controller and a Roland RS-5 synthesizer. These are connec...

thanks for the help guys...all the posts helped a lot

When Im done recording the audio the wave data is there.....not sure if its supposed to be taking up the whole space though because it does. It goes really high and low and all over the place. Im guessing this means that my levels are too high but anyway..I made sure the box is checked, I think it i...

Had this problem too when I got a new soundcard.....Thanks for the help...

Hey, Im using a Roland RS-5 and am making instrument definitions for the presets. When I have to type in the bank number I have to find the instruments Least Significant Byte and Most Significant Byte and add them and them multiply it to 128. In the ROland book, the LSB is listed at the bottom of th...

Whenever I convert my MIDI songs to audio I cant hear the audio when i play it back. I'm pretty sure Im doing everything right and my levels are good but I cant hear the data after recording. Is the problem something I am not doing right or is it something to do with my soundcard (Sb Audigy mp3+)? T...

I am in the process of making banks for my instruments and am almost finished. I went on the Sonar help site and they told me to find out the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB(Least Significant Byte) of my instrument and multiply the MSB by 128 and then add the LSB. This worked for most of the tim...

I have a Roland RS-5. I know how to make a bank for each of the 512 presets but how do I know what bank numbers to make them? I am using SonarXL 2.0

thx
