I write Christian Songs I just finished my first CD which contains all original Christian music recorded at my home studio. If anyone would mind taking the time to go to my site and listen to sound clips and give me feedback I would greatly appreciate it. Not just about the songs but about the...

My Sonar 1.0 is doing weird things..... I have always used Sonar to record my band playing analog stuff, and played around a little bit with loops, never really done much MIDI stuff. It has always worked pretty well so far until my current song I'm working on. I decided to try to set up a MIDI...

Iain Iain, Awesome post! Amen.

Worship Great comments WATYF, As a musician in several Worship bands as well as a leader of my own band with original tunes I can relate to this alot. I play mainly with 2 different Churches. They couldn't be more light years apart. One is a very large Church, lots of $$$ for great sound...

WATYF WATYF, This is exactly what I'm talking about. The world doesn't need to be confronted by Christians more on their bad attitudes, etc. The world needs to understand why we choose to be different. They only see that WHEN we are different. I think it's funny that in scripture when Jesus...

Response to Kevin Kevin, I think you make some good points. As Christians our sincere desire should be to glorify God, rather than to think in terms of "crossing over" to the mainstream, etc. The minute we start to think in those terms we begin to write songs with a marketing mentality, copying...

Thanks Awesome, Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I want to back up my custom saved presets for the Sonar effects like compressors, EQs, etc. for when I reinstall Sonar. How do I do this? And how do I reinstall them? Is it just a text file to copy?

I use the Matrox G450 card which has dual monitor outputs. I think it's discontinued now but the new model the G550 is essentially the same thing. Works flawless.

Okay guys, I'm having a real problem getting things to compress right in Sonar. I have read and understand pretty well the principals and differences between compressing and limiting things, and I have been trying to get my tracks to be more even with more punch, etc. especially with drums...

Drum Triggering What are you calling drum triggering? Is the software actually triggering a MIDI drum sample from what it sees on each of my drum tracks or would I simply be using a MIDI keyboard or something and manually hitting keys where hits should be? And if the software is reading it how...

Results Okay, I played with the NYC trick last night. I think that it definitely did help alot. Alot of the tips above were an immense help, thanks. I kept A/Bing mine and some recordings with really great sounding drums and I think that the drums themselves has alot to do with it. I can make...

NY Trick Chris, You mentioned using 2 compressors, is the first on the original tracks and the second being the NY drum trick, or are you talking about 2 additional compressed mixes while still leaving a set of tracks unchanged to mix in too? Also should the AUX send be pre- or post EQ since...

Okay, here's the deal.... I have a pretty good setup, tracking room with foam soundtreatment, separate control room, fast PC, Delta 1010 audio card, etc. My problem is that the drums just sound really low in my mixes, even if I make the drums the loudest instrument in the mix. It just doesn't...

I have a question for you pros out there. I am having a hard time compressing a waveform the way I want it to look and sound. I have been searching for a way to give myself a hint as to what to use for settings for compressing/limiting a waveform using SONAR's effects. What I'm trying to do is...

Workaround Great answer. Thanks. One question I have, is there any difference in audio quality of pulling all the individual tracks down for more headroom so the Main Bus level remains at 0 without clipping, versus just pulling the Main Bus below 0 to whatever level will not clip? This is...

I am trying to find a way to Group a large number of tracks at one time to bring their volume down when mixing. I have tried Selecting All Tracks and then Grouping them but it will still only Group one at a time. There has to be a way to do this. Otherwise when my instrument mix is perfect but I...

I need to get something to get great sounds for the basses which are going direct into the computer in my studio. I am leaning towards the Bass POD which sounds pretty good. However I have heard from another guy with a studio that he uses the guitar POD for bass as well. If it works good for...

When my files are burdened with lots of effects turned on I experience alot of dropouts. Usually turning off the effect does not help free up resources. The only thing I can do is Apply Effects which of course prevents me from changing things later, so I usually make a second copy of the file...

I'm not submitting a demo, this is my own independent CD I'm trying to self-produce. (EEEK!) Hopefully this is the first of many more to come. I have learnt alot so far and I'm sure I will only get better.
