I have been reading a lot about Sonar, I even downloaded the trial version, but that doesn't tell me what I want to know.
My main question is how do you back up a complete project, say you want to save your masters or something. When I save a work file to disk, it doesn't save the audio.

"In cakewalk, from the track view window you can enter a patch number, and then by simply hitting the plus and minus keys you can have your tone modules play the track on every instrument available. This is great for auditioning which piano, strings, or bass etc. you want to use on a song. You can do this while the song is playing."

DISCLAIMER : Again...please forgive the ignorance :p ...

but what is the purpose and benifit of having dual monitors?

...sorry, I tried to move this to the Dual Monitors? post but I couldn't.

Hello, dear logic users and such to become!

To elaborate, what it needs to run logic on a PC or Mac, it would be somewhat interesting, what YOU are able to do with logic with different hardware-setups:

This could become an interesting database -

Our friend from the south side of the earth mentioned he was "testing" the newest PT code SSS (huh?). What was never mentioned was hardware. The cards, interfaces, and such.

When I put my ear to the ground the rumble I heard was "new hardware" and "incompatibilties" between old and new.

That'd suck, huh?

Anybody using this combination as a channel strip? What are you tracking with it and how do you like it? What style of music too?

I hear(read) all this great stuff about 24+ track counts and many plugins and stuff, and I say to myself, that's what I want.
But I haven't been able to get it.
I have loaded the trial demo of Sonar onto my computer (300mhz AMD, 256k ram) and I can only play back eight tracks at a time. and trying to record a ninth track is an impossibility.

I have a DA-88 with transport locked up S err 11.

Took out the transport for a look, and its obvious a couple of the plastic (gears/cams) are bad (teeth worn etc).

Question. .can Tascam repair centers replace just the cams or do they have to replace the entire transport at $1400 less rebate?

Will you recommend a repair center in Mid-West?

Thanks
Jeff

Hi to one and all,

this is my first post on this most excellent forum.

I am a newbie and have decided to take the plunge with using the computer as my main cog in the wheel of music production.

40gig ATA-100 7200rpm (OS) Hard Drive
