Hi Chris,
I am currently performing shows across the UK, I like to use backing tracks
that I have personally arranged. The problem I have at the moment is I'm having
to step write all tracks due to latency issues.
I use superior drummer with Phil Muir's HSC scrips and several of the digital
factory soft synths.
I would like now to be able to use dedicated VST softsynths such as Mr Sax,
Plus dedicated bass guitar and rhythm guitar VST softsynths.
I consider myself quite competent when it comes to using sonar, however I am
not competent at setting up computers.
Regarding soundcard, to audio ins and midi would be sufficient.
I was thinking at £1500, that includes the jaw scripts and the sonar latest
version that we can use.
Does that sound anywhere near a realistic figure?
Thanks again in advance,
Steve W

what's your budget and what are you trying to accomplish in your studio?
If you want to record lots of tracks at once, or play back projects with lots
of plug-ins and soft-synths inserted, you'll probably want someone to build
you a machine specifically for digital audio work.

Hi all at DD,
I'm currently using Sonar 7.2 with Jaws 9, CT scrips, on a XP laptop. Now
you've stopped laughing, :) here is my questions.
What computer spec do you recommend and what version of Jaws to compliment
your products offer?
I've been thinking about upgrading my system for quite a while now.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Chris. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Just to add that we do have an audio presentation you can listen to in
order
to get a better understanding of how it all works. Here's a blurb:

CakeTalking customizes the JAWS for Windows screen reader so blind users
can
access the SONAR software that so many sighted people use to convert their
PC’s into recording studios. And CakeTalking tops it all off with a set
of
detailed tutorials in the form of electronic documents of hundreds of pages
that instruct the JAWS user on all the “how to’s”. Using CakeTalking
with
JAWS, blind musicians can focus their energy on creating, not
trouble-shooting!

Bryan Smart, Dancing Dots' training specialist, blind audio producer and
CakeTalking enthusiast, puts SONAR through its paces. In a detailed but
fast-moving audio presentation, Bryan covers a whole lot: basic operations
of SONAR, the track view, mixing, showing effects and how to edit your
music
with CakeTalking, mixing with a control surface like the Behringer BCF2000,
recording a simple project using software synthesizers, demonstrating the
Matrix view, and demonstrating some basic editing features like
cut/copy/paste, quantize, transpose, and interpolate. He also briefly
touches on SONAR's AudioSnap facility. The entire demo is about an hour and
45 minutes long but it is designed to present the basic operations in the
first 20 minutes or so.

Sonar is a multi-track recording and editing package for working with MIDI
and audio.
CakeTalking is a set of Jaws scripts to make Sonar accessible, along with a
400-page tutorial.

Let me ask this.. would either one of those programs work to enhance or
compliment Sound Forge?
Or, do the two work together and can not be used separately?
Maybe more basis question: What is primary function of Sonar?
What is primary function of CakeTalking?
