    I recently tried to export a song, and at the 35% mark I got the error "Mixdown aborted. Ran out of memory". Anyone know how or why this is happening? The song is pretty big, but up until recently I haven't had a problem exporting it. Just added a track and some new envelopes and now it...

    Compatable Version???? Help!!!

    While I was working on a song for this album I'm working on (with Sonar 4), my computer randomly decided to restart. Not a hugely uncommon thing for my computer to do, but this time was a big difference. When I tried to open up the song I was working on, I got this error: The file you are...

    2 songs from my band, feedback please!

    So I'm recording a bunch of songs from my band that will eventually end up as a full length, and would like some feedback on them so far as far as mixing goes. The sound I'm going for is pretty vintage like the Beatles, fused with futuristic sounds of modern bands like Broken Social Scene...

    Mixing for relative volume

    I've got a question thats been on my mind for a while now in regards to getting my songs "louder". I'm currently doing a full length for my band using Sonar and whenever I mix down the files, they seem to be really quiet. For instance, if you put it in Winamp, and listen to it, then listen to...

    Newb question: getting rid of green snap marker

    I just got SONAR 4 Producer Edition, and I love it except for one detail thats driving me insane. Whenever I hit the spacebar to stop the song I get sent back to wherever this bright green marker is. How do I get it so that the marker stops and stays wherever I hit the spacebar??!

    Kick drum help

    I'm having a lot of trouble getting a really solid kick drum sound. I'm using a AKG D122 going into mixer into delta 1010 into sonar. I think my main problem is placement, because the kick sounds great to my ear. I took off the far head and removed the pillow I had inside and got little...

    Recording / mixing vocals: Arcade Fire style

    I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this band, but trying to emulate and capture the pure emotional energy in their album Funeral. I know it mostly has to do with some kind of reverb, and maybe an amp sim? But when I twist the knobs around I really have no idea what I'm doing. If anyone...

    Question about blending tracks

    Hi, not too sure if this is the right forum but have a question about getting 2 tracks on a CD to blend. I'm trying to get feedback from the end of the first song to be the beginning of the next one. I know we've all heard it (think Pink Floyd). I copied the sample in Sonar and got it to sound...
