BlankYes.  Are you experiencing some audio issues then or, is it that you don't 
think the sound your getting back in Sonar is as fat as it should     be?

  Phil, Is the Motu a higher end soundcard than the fa66?

    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.
