I installed HALion String Edition (yeah, all 5 gigs worth) on my system yesterday to add an orchestra backing for a project I'm working on in Sonar 2.2 XL. I played with it for about 3 hours and was able to build a decent sounding orchestra track using the DXi. Up to that point everything worked...

Can anyone recommend a decent pitch shift plug? I'm running Sonar 2.2 xl. I've played around with the Time/Pitch stretch that it comes with, but I was hoping there was a free or fairly cheap $$ plug that can be used as a track insert. -Thanks

I'm getting a very low level hum/buzz (< 60hz) from my Sony 19" LCD monitor through the line input on my mixer and into my sound card. I thought maybe something in my rack chain was causing it, but I disconnected everything one by one until I accidentally turned off the monitor. The buzz...

Hey all, Currently I do all of our tracking with an M-Audio Duo (2 in, 2 out) straight into Sonar running on a 3.2 P4, 2 gigs SDRAM, and dual 7200rpm 80 gig hard drives. Usually track drums and bass simultaneously, track all other parts individually, and then mix in the box, mainly because in...

I'm driving around last night listening to a song I've been working on, when it all of a sudden hit me. This song would be complete with a nice string ensemble underneath the guitars! Unfortunately, I haven't messed with midi/soundfonts/synths/etc. enough to know where the hell to start looking...

Hey all, I'm working on a song where I'm running the main vocals dead center including compression and a little reverb on that one track. It sounded a little thin to me so I started checking other instruments to see where there might be some contention in the middle frequencies. I'm not finding...

No idea how to do this, but was just curious because I'd like to work it in some of my mixes. I've been sitting here at work listening to this band out of NYC called Tammany Hall. They've recorded one of their albums with mostly acoustic guitars and vocals. It's got some really nice left and...

Hey all, well I picked up Sonar 2.2 XL about 3 mths ago and have been working and learning ever since. I finally put together a sample of something that I've been working on with our band for these last 3 mths, and I think it's to a point to where I wouldn't mind some others listening and giving...

Hey all, started messing around with the drum maps using EDIROL VSC on a blank project and all works perfectly. I then opened up one of my existing projects that contained nothing but 18 audio tracks, and 2 midis (for PingDXi metronome). I inserted the new midi drum map and the VSC and I get no...

This may be better posted somewhere else, but hopefully someone can help. I'm running Sonar 2.2 XL on a pc with plenty of hardware and a M-Audio Duo sound card for instrument/vocal inputs. My inputs run through a couple of Behringer mixers before heading to the sound card. Here's my issue, when...
