I've been getting really good results using the FRM Audio RNC1773 compressor ($175.00). I go out of my mixer, into the compressor, then into the computer. I set it at: Threshold: +5 Ratio: 6:1 Attack: 6:0 Release: 0:5 Gain:0 (unity) It sounds absolutely great and is getting great reviews in...

Thanks dachay2tnr, with your help I think I just about have this licked! I'm getting to the stage where I'm enjoying doing all this. MaKettle

Thanks for the response dachay2tnr. When I select tracks to be exported to a wave file would I highlight them? Now I have all the tracks I want to use grouped together, with all the archived and midi tracks that I don't need moved to the bottom in a separate group. I'm just a little confused...

I've scanned the Sonar manual and found only vague explanations about how to bring all my tracks down to a single stereo track to burn to CD, which is what I believe you are supposed to do. The only method I see for that would be to take all the tracks and via "Bounce to Tracks", turn them into...

Thanks for the responses. I guess I was running out of brain power as fast as CPU power. I should have thought of some of those solutions myself, especially "apply effects". I knew about that, just didn't think of it! Time to upgrade to a bigger brain! MaKettle

I'm running out of CPU power because of all the reverb and EQ my singer applied to her many tracks she recorded on a song. What she did sounds good, so I want to record the tracks with effects to another track so the CPU doesn't have to run all these effects in real time. I have a Midiman 2044...

A friend of mine went into Radio Shack when they first had those cheap little sampling keyboards. He made it say: "Don't touch the F***in' keyboard!" whenever you pressed a key down. He didn't stick around to see what happened. By the way, my father was a complete computer geek from the time...

Bass POD I bought a bass POD after reading all the good reviews, but I'll have to say I'm not all that impressed with it. There are only two amp models that I like. The rest just remind me why I didn't like the sound of the original amps when they were on the market. To me they just sound...

Auto Tune 3 works on other instruments. I've tuned up some fretless bass parts, and plan to try it on my double bass. I'd like to see what it does with percussion instruments like cowbells, congas and timbales. When I get time, I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. Might even come...

Thanks dachay2tnr. I'll give that a try. Charlie (aka MaKettle)

I've been using Auto-Tune 3 and find it to work quite well. My only complaint about it is that the manual doesn't explain how to use graphical mode adequately. I don't know how to get the sound clip I want to work on into the graph. If anyone here can explain the procedure I would appreciate...

Lakland makes an affordable 5 string that might be worth checking out. I haven't played one yet, but I've heard good things about them. I had an Ibanez fivestring once that had a killer sounding B, but the string spacing was way to close for comfort. It was a 34" scale, so I used a 130 guage...

Thanks for the info. dachay2tnr and heinz. I've managed to get it to work in auto mode by following your instructions, but still can't get the clip to load in graphical mode. However, it's not to critical at this point since I was able to do all that I needed in Auto. I'll mess with it and...

I would suggest the Athlon. I replaced a Duron with an Athlon in my household computer and it runs much faster. Athlons are superior processors.

I called Cakewalk tech support but they didn't seem to know how to use Auto-Tune 3 as an editing tool with Sonar. I think it must be the same procedure as with any other third party audio editing software, such as Sound Forge. Maybe someone here could tell my how that's done. Is it...

When you use Sound Forge for editing, how do you transfer your audio clip into Sound Forge, then back to your Sonar track? I've never used it, so I know nothing about this procedure. It doesn't look like the Sonar book explains how to use third party editing programs in conjuction with Sonar...

I have Auto-Tune 3 which I can access from my audio effects list in SonarXL. My question is: how do I get the audio clip I want to work on into the Auto-Tune program to modify it, and then, how do I get it back into the Sonar track? MaKettle
