Sound forge can do that. Separate program, not a plug. Check to see if the cheap version (when it was a sony product they had a sub hundred version, I don’t know about magic).

WA tone beast, WA pultec and a Burgin McDaniel’s Komit compressor/diode limiter (the original hand made versions before Radial bought out the design). When you drive the Komits clean compressor you can get beautiful saturation with the limiter.

You need to start a new thread for a new problem, but … not having the A$H, I would see if the pan separates the outputs, but many usb mixers just give a stereo mix. Then check the manual. A pretty basic question.

Make. Sure you are plugged into a mic input, first thing. What interface? And remember there are several layers of mixers to deal with. First is the interface mixer. Then cakewalks.

FYI, the Orbit is 16 a channel input summer, not console. It only runs $2K. It does have 2 separate stereo outs, but the alternate outs has a transformer that is -6 dB down so that is driven harder. Again, if you’ve never heard a good Neve-tuned transformer, it is really revealing when your music passes thru it hard. I’ve heard but never worked on a 5088. It is about par for big boards price wise with a full pre/eq section. The RND Sheffield channel strip alone is 4 grand. Even the orbit is expensive. A 16 channel summer shouldn’t cost over a grand but 2 custom transformer plus the silk options add up. Top notch components and parts cost but makes for long lasting equipment.

Nice. Can’t wait to win the lotto I don’t play. I’ve got the Orbir and it does give the big console flavor. And if you want to hear how a musical a transformer can be, drive this unit. The transformer just blooms your sound.

+1

Buy a stand alone usb CD player. I suppose your computer has usb.

A free version of Plasma in computer music (I think). I quickly upgraded to real plasma and then cakewalk/sonar.

A walk down memory lane

Kontakt shows up as my latest version of the software. Older versions have the # following.

Probably my fav guitarist. He never lays too many notes. A space in time is a perfect album and cirickle wood green almost. And he seems to have the most fun of all the performers at Woodstock.

Glad you made the jump. And yea, I would expect the interface will give you a much better sound stage to work with. Sound cards use about a dollar’s worth of components.

Nope. The screen doesn’t skip to the next page of apps.

I loved my windows phone. For phone use (?), calendar, and music. I have an apple phone which is clunky and kludgey and unintuitive. Hell, my kid can’t figure out how to do stuff on it. For example, How do you move an icon from one screen to the next app page? to paraphrase Orwell, it would take an computer engineer to so badly design an app. however, the rest of the family is part of Apple world. I can’t get tickets from the wife’s Ticketmaster account, so I’m not sure why I went with it.

My channel strip is a Rupert Neve Design Portico II. Get it just about right during capture and there is less question about mucking around with the mix. Usually all it takes is some polishing. Maybe a little eq, and I still use the cakewalk’s la2a to final fit the vox into the mix. Usually everything goes thru the Portico II unless I have multiple recordings during a session. I don’t have a drum room at home so I usually don’t multi track a lot.

2nd the Novation. I have the 49 keyboard. The knobs are useful.

Yea, Mixcraft is a good, cheap alternative for Sonar. It looks feels and works like Sonar and earlier iterations of cakewalk’s Daw.

Glad Some can get it to work. I would never recommend it, tho.

Not according to the title which asks about asio4all. I just gave my opinion having used it 10+ years ago and moved on. I have enough problems in life without fixing bad drivers instead of making music. It is like winding your own strings I in order to play guitar.

Start your track levels at -6dB. The more tracks you have the more each individual needs to be lowered as a starting point.

Asio4all wasn’t any good 10 years ago and I haven’t heard a good thing about it in the last 10 years. Everybody who has used it has moved on. If your interface didn’t come with custom drivers and the generic drivers don’t get the job done, why would a another layer of cludge work?

Keep the master level at -.3 dB otherwise mp3s will distort during the rendering process.

Soundpure has the dual unit for $950 with rebate. Running now. A great deal. The warm units have a nice pre that is thick. I thought the single unit was a good deal at $900. Getting a stereo unit for less than a grand is a great deal.

Most people buy their music as mp3s these days. Doesn’t mean that is the best format or better than CDs (or two inch tape). cakewalk is the odd child, the major DAW that is windows only. Many music makers are Mac centric. Why test your vst in a limited market and rewrite code for what are mostly non professionals on Windows? and I cannot think of any vst I’ve bought that didn’t work exclusively on cakewalk.
