CPU overload issues

at this point after you've disabled the Sb card, just increase your latency buffers on the m-audio. if you're still in WDM driver mode, then just go to OPTIONS>AUDIO>GENERAL and move the latency slider toward the SAFE side. if you're in ASIO mode, then click on the ASIO button at the bottom of that screen, it will pull up the m-audio interface panel. look in there for the HARDWARE BUFFERS and increase them.

TTS-11

Close, Mark. TTS-1 is actually a GM2 synth. The Wikipedia page below has a table that shows the bank and patch layout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI_Level_2 In your MIDI track, select the channel you want to use. Select a bank (instruments are in 0-5, drums in Preset Rhythm) Select a Patch. The dropdown menu will list the available instruments in your selected bank. When you do this, you will see that the channel in TTS-1 reflects...

Yes it really doesn't seem right. the shipping is basically the same price as the shipping costs. I don't think we have a Canadian distributor. I read someone else had looked into it with no luck. We could probably get the software here, but at regular price and they wouldn't support the upgrades Cakewalk is offereing. The other thing that bothers me is that they only have a toll free number for the US. I would think that they...

Thanks, Rob. The wave profiler is availabe when I use the WDM mode, and I've run it. The record and playback timing masters are tied to the M-Audiio. However, when I used the WDM mode, I experience dropout almost as soon as the recording started. I might be lucky to get one beat in before it trips. Any thoughts as to what might be causing the dropout? I've run msconfig and now only have the M-Audio selected under the Startup tab....

Hi Gene, welcome aboard. Once you've inserted the TTS-1 into your project, the main window will appear. Click on one of the rectangular buttons at the top of any of the sixteen strips (usually the left one first) and a smaller window will open, specific to the channel you have chosen: By default, TTS-1 opens with the 'Piano 1' preset. To load any other, left click once in the preset window (where you see Piano 1) and click on...

Hi Kurzland. SHS7 XL is really good choice and the new interface make it really easy to use. Here's my opinion about the bundle you gonna get with XL. I would be interested to have the opinion of other XL user. Strings With Studio Instruments Strings, Dimension LE and the Garritan extension you will have a very good choice of strings. And they are all good in my opinion. Pads There are some really good pads in Dimension. Rhodes and...

it's a tough call. Since you're only recording two tracks of audio you MIGHT get away with it. But you're scraping the failure level - you'd be best to drop the $25 on another gig of RAM.

I'm using HS7XL with my DrumCore programme for the first time and have come across a problem, for which I'm sure there's a simple solution. This is it: when I drag and paste a 2 bar (measure) DC groove clip onto the relevant track in my project it come up as 2 1/2 bars. Shrinking this to to a 2 bar length just results in an incomplete groove. Snap to grid is set to 'measure'. This is ...

Hi, I'm having a problem with my controller when I try to bend up on any softsynth. Bending down works fine, but when I bend up to a certain point the note reverts back to the original note. Is there some sort of global setting for bends in Sonar that effects all softsynths? Thanks!
