Ok heres the deal short and sweet.

A good friend of mine recently upgraded from sonar 5 to sonar 6, gave me his old copy, and also a copy of a version of cool edit pro (i think 2.0).. Anywho, I pop the sonar disk in, thinkin cool this will work well, wrong, laptop hates it. So on with Cool Edit Pro. Install it, works fine.. does just what i need it to do, BUT.. Im having a issue.

In sonar, you can apply any effect to the Master channel, but I cannot seem to find where to do this on Cool Edit Pro.

Any idea's?

Thanks in advance.

Oh btw, I have checked the help section, in the program, with no luck.
 
You don't own the license = You're using pirated software. No one is going to help you.
 
Interesting, that you should say that. Its even more interesting that you should say that considering i have ORIGINAL disks sitting right here. So tell me exactly how its pirated? Because i think im missing somthing here.

But im super glad that people make those assumptions. Makes people feel just *peachy* about coming around.

Asshole.

Is it cool edit pro or Adobe Audition?

Adobe Audition 1.5 (which is what I used) had a master buss but you had to go to the menu and click "Mixer". I think it's the View menu or the Window menu, I forgot.

Then there will be the master buss and you can put an effect on it.
 
Its cool edit pro 2.0, installed from the ORIGINAL syntrillium disk. Sorry, danny, the master seems to think im some child who is going to deal with his "crap"

Anywho, it doesnt seem to have a place on the master level in the mixer view to apply an effect to the whole series.. Although, it does have the ability to use it for the Buss. The only issue is, ive never accually used anything with Buss's and to be honest, I really dont understand what they are.

Any direction you can steer me to read up on it? This, I suspect, is what I will need to do, to get this to work in this program.

Thanks for your help so far danny.
 
I don't think Cool Edit 2.0 can put effects on the Master Bus. At least, I've never noticed it and I use 2.0 a lot. So what I do is this: when I've got the Multitrack mix the way I like it in terms of levels and whatnot, I make a mixdown of it to a stereo track. *Then* I insert that stereo track back into Multitrack - maybe into the session it came from, or maybe I create a whole new session for it - it depends. *Then* I can run effects on that stereo mixdown in Multitrack. A little cumbersome, but it works.
 
I suppose that would work, Ill give it a shot.

Thanks.
 
It could work with a BUS but I would recommend you to do it as dobro has described so you get a chance to confirm the quality of the mix before you added any effects to it.

I am just curious why do people add effects to the master.
Isn't dobro's method kind a right way to do it
1 step mix down
2 step(s) Mastering ?

I am sure there is a good reason for that and that's why Adobe added that option to Audition.
Can somebody tell me something about it……

That wasn't an assumption. I have several different versions of several old programs that I currently own the license for. I can't "give away my old copies" and make them legit in the eyes of the software owners.

And calling people names isn't any way to start off on the right foot here.
 
If you buy software you're allowed to give away or sell the original CD so long as you don't actually make copies and sell them/give them away.
 
I hate to say that's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.

I shouldn't say that - I've heard some pretty ridiculous stuff...

Sure, you can give away the CD's - But you can't give someone else your serial / license / authorization from an older version and continue to use the newer version. That's not the way it works. If you give it away, it's gone.

I can't give someone else my old copies of Samplitude - Samplitude would be knocking at my door. I can't give away - I'm sorry let me correct that - I can't legally USE my own copies of some software, as I've sold off or otherwise gave up my license to use them.

I sold a Nuendo license recently - I couldn't even find the original disc. I DL'd the file and sent it along with the manual and packaging to the new owner along with the license / dongle.

Then I found the disc. I no longer have the license. Sure, I could install it. Sure, I could've found a crack for it if I really wanted to. But that doesn't make it mine -
 
Again, your assumptions have lead you to believe somthing thats NOT accually the case.

The license number for Sonar, and for Cool Edit Pro, for the copies that I now own, are only in use on THIS machine, and THIS machine only.

He did not purchase an "upgrade" rather, he purchased another full version, for whatever personal reason he had.

Before you make an assumption, maybe you should think about how you come at a person, expecially someone who has done ZERO wrong.

So who is the one that is being ridiculous now?
 
I don't mean to sound... uh...

I've heard that *exact* story more times than you'll ever know. If yours happens to be true, I suppose it's not for me to decide. But don't expect too many people to actually believe it.
 
1hand- you may not know that pirating is a highly frowned upon practice 'round these parts. Lots a crack users come around saying things like "Uh, my friend gave me this software and it has no manuals- can anyone tell me how it works? Thankz."

Usually new folks with no information about age or location in their profile. (shrug) Not your fault that this is the case. It doesn't help that CE 2 is a particularly pirated program.

One guy asking questions about Cubase actually got so frustrated with folks accusing him of pirating (his manuals were shipped separately from his software so he was asking for help getting started) that he took a picture of his Steinberg dongle and posted it. The accusers apologized- but its still a pretty "guilty until proven innocent" environment.

I don't presume to judge- just thought I'd let you know so you understand that John's comments aren't out of left field or personal.

Take care,
Chris
 
just to put in my 2 cents lol. you can sale your old softwrae and it is perfectly legal..the problem is however there is a limit to how many times you can install and register a serial...it has a cap on it...say they set the cap 5...this means you can isntall and register it on 5 computers as long as you own the software and all that stuff...but once you hit the capped off limite the serial will become dead and can no longer be used...wich is why key gens were invented...sorry had to say what i know...and to the thread topic..i usggest you learn how to use the bus because it will save lots of memory on your comp if you do and will in the long run give you better mixes and faster processing

Can you explain your reasons for saying these things? They're not obvious to me, aside from the 'faster processing' possibly.
 
I don't know about better mixes...but definitely saves CPU resources. If 2 tracks need the same effects, put the effects on to one track (buss) and send those track's outputs to that buss.
 
well see if you go through and apply for example the same reverb to 2 out 6 tracks in a session and then go through and apply a diff reverb to 2 other tracks outa that session you will use up alot of memory used to proccess that final track wich will slow your comp down and you risk getting errors....kinna like trying to burn a cd with a bunch of programs running at same time...this is mostly just my opinion on the matter anyways from experience...im sure its part of the reason that ppl go "it sounded fine until i mixed it all down then i had some clicks or something"
