I've used Kunaki before and just uploaded my wav files, however they've come out of my DAW. But recently I did a project for my own band and was told by the singer's son, "make sure you get the metadata in there right this time." 3 hours of internet research later and I have questions: I...

Thanks! I will look a little further to see if there's a way to turn that off. No, I hadn't actually done enough research on the topic to realize there are other ways to do it. Though the method you describe makes sense. I have found a couple free VST plug-ins that claim to do it so I may...

I posted a specific question in the SONAR forum, but realize I could also use a basic education on this topic. Essentially, I'm trying to use a snare drum track to create a MIDI file to trigger a sampled drum. I realize this has been done for years, but I've never needed to attempt it. So...

I'll confess, I'm old and don't use but about 10% of Sonar X1's functionality. When I record a band, I do my best to capture the sound of each instrument and only make minor tweaks in the room and then only minor tweaks in the box. Most of the guys I work with are pretty decent and know how to...

This is pretty cool. Thanks! It wasn't quite what I was thinking of, but this does open up some possibilities. I was actually thinking of some way to import a predefined set of not only effects for every single track within a song, but also the panning, FX sends, levels maybe even the bus...

I feel like I should know this but have been using a work around for years. But figure even this old dog can learn a new trick. I'm in Sonar X1, but suspect most DAWs can do what I'm wanting to do. I recorded a band today and they did 8 songs, all very similar in feel and style. I have one...

Yeah, it's a cool tip, but unlike my old Tascam 38, Sonar X1 (my DAW) doesn't seem to have an easy way to just speed up the playback of the whole multi-track song...

That's an interesting idea. Thank you! Used to be easy with my old Tascam 38 since there was a big old knob right on front that adjusted playback speed :) But with a song that has audio recordings as well as MIDI instruments, not even sure how to go about doing it. Off to the Sonar manual I...

Some good tips. Thank you. I realize I'm in the habit of setting up my standard vocal setup and then laying down all the tracks, but different mic choices makes loads of sense. I'll try experimenting with my performance as well. Thanks!

I've been mixing some demo material lately with 2 and 3 part harmonies. It's Irish folk stuff so the backing parts are mixed almost as hot as the lead vocals are. I'm realizing that it's very obviously me singing all 3 parts so I'm wondering are there any approaches I can take with EQ or...

Been away a few days and some great discussion happened :) I did let my buddy have the stems he requested and sure enough, I noticed some difference in his mix and the one I summed in Sonar. Enough to contemplate a few thousand dollars to emulate? No way, but still pretty cool. I imagine...

I guess for lack of something to do while the wife is out tonight, I might try rigging it up. I can see it being "different" sounding, but "better?" I guess we'll see. The way my buddy asked for the STEMS, he clearly has more than 8 total channels (which I don't) so he'll actually have the...

I'm wrapping up a demo for one of my projects and a good friend of mine who works in the "biz" is going to do some mastering on it. Probably don't need it since we're just shopping it for some private party work, but I figure it's free, and since he has access to incredible equipment (not to...

Wow, just looked at their site. Hard to beat those prices. Yeah we could do 10 of each line up for pretty cheap. Thanks.

My Irish project does gigs in a few different configurations and as such we have demo material that represents about 3 different instrumentations. We'd like to get 25 or so blank CDRs that have our logo and contact information printed on them but that we can burn with the appropriate demo...
