CLICKS AND POPS recording from CakeWAlk and REality -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:CLICKS AND POPS recording from CakeWAlk and REality Posted by: Oskar Date:3/30/1999 4:08:07 AM I get noisy recording when I record midi from Cakewalk 8 and Reality softwares into SoundForge 4.5. When I record midi straight from Cakewalk 8 to SoundForge 4.5, recording is fine. It only happens when I run Reality in the mix. I need to run Reality so I can record sounds from its banksets. I defragged the UDMA harddrive. I have a Pentium II 450. Are my routings wrong? Please help! Thanks. Oskar.

Why don't you just arm a couple of tracks in Cakewalk, and record your mix there, then export it to sound forge? Running three processor-intensive apps simultaneously, plus the sync overhead, is not really a very good idea. -- Bruce A.

Why don't you try this... 1) go ahead and record your individual MIDI tracks to audio in Cakewalk, 2) then lock up Reality and do the same? Then you'll have a multitrack audio project to work with...you can add your DirectX effects, etc, tweak the mix, then 3) use Cakewalk's mixdown command to create your mix. Then... 4) export the mix tracks and load into Sound Forge for the final tweaks on the full mix. The only time you should have to lock up more than one app is to get the Reality tracks into Cakewalk. Then all mixing can happen with Cakewalk's vector automation, which is great for getting a very well detailed and focused mix. If for some reason your audio playback is limited (shouldn't be) you could reverse steps one and two, locking to Reality and transferring those tracks before you record the MIDI to audio tracks. Hope that helps. -- Bruce A.

I get noisy recording when I record midi from Cakewalk 8
and Reality softwares into SoundForge 4.5. When I record
midi straight from Cakewalk 8 to SoundForge 4.5, recording
is fine. It only happens when I run Reality in the mix. I
need to run Reality so I can record sounds from its
banksets. I defragged the UDMA harddrive. I have a
Pentium II 450. Are my routings wrong? Please help!
Thanks.

Oskar.

No, but why are you recording to Sound Forge? Why don't you just arm a
couple of tracks in Cakewalk, and record your mix there, then export it to
sound forge?

Running three processor-intensive apps simultaneously, plus the sync
overhead, is not really a very good idea.

You know, I had another thought, Oskar...

Why don't you try this...

1) go ahead and record your individual MIDI tracks to audio in Cakewalk,

2) then lock up Reality and do the same?

Then you'll have a multitrack audio project to work with...you can add your
DirectX effects, etc, tweak the mix, then

3) use Cakewalk's mixdown command to create your mix. Then...

4) export the mix tracks and load into Sound Forge for the final tweaks on
the full mix. The only time you should have to lock up more than one app is
to get the Reality tracks into Cakewalk. Then all mixing can happen with
Cakewalk's vector automation, which is great for getting a very well

before you record the MIDI to audio tracks.

Hope that helps.
