Phil replied: I wouldn't say that it's a problem. Having said that, I would
have thought that it's possible that replacing your current sound card with
something else such as a MOTU may help although, I kind of question that a bit,
as your only using the line ins on that card. I am assuming that your
recording at 44.1, 24 bit? Sean, Tim, anyone. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't have thought so. They are nice mixers and the sound that you
track with, should have a bit of warmth to it, as your using an analog mixer.

I have an alan and heath mix wizard 3, which has gotten pretty high
reviews. I'm just wondering though if you actually lose a bit of quality when
converting midi of an external synth to audio, as opposed to when just bouncing
or freezing a vst synth?

Yes. Mind you, I don't know which mixer you have so, can't comment on
whether it has excellent pree-amps or, not.

Phil, when you say pre amps, do you mean external ones besides the
actual ones within the mixer that I am using?
Thanks.

Hmm, maybe as your keeping all of your software synthes/samples
internal to Sonar. On the other hand, if you had some really hi end pree-amps
that you could use with your hardware then, you would find that your hardware
would sound fatter and have more detail too!

Hello,
I notice when I use vsts, or samples via the sfz in sonar, I
actually get fatter, warmer, and louder recordings than when using tracks from
an external synth like the motif. Is this generally the case, or am I imagining
things here.
