How to use SoundFonts as your MIDI Tone Generator in SONAR
I've seen so many people asking about how to use the benefit of Soundfont with SONAR.
I think I'll just write my kind of "Basic tutorial" about it. I hope you can get the idea, and develop yourself with experience.
I'll devide this tutorial by the soundcard you use. The first section is for Soundfonts capable soundcards (
Creative Sound Blaster Live! series, Audigy, etc.). And non Soundfonts capable soundcards (M-Audio Delta cards, Audiophile cards, etc).
First of all, if you didn't have any idea what's soundfonts all about, feel free to
read this thread.
Now, I assume you basicaly understand the concept of Soundfonts.
Lets go to section 1.
Using soundfonts in SONAR with soundfonts capable soundcards.
- Generaly, you need to install propher driver of your soundcard, and also the firmware (AudioHQ) to tweak the memory setting. Ooh, you did that ? Good. Now go (for example) Start menu --> Programs -- SoundBlaster Live! --> AudioHQ (Or whatever your installation path created). Open it.
