I have a version of Cakewalk Home Studio XL that I've had for about 2 years, so I'm wondering if the two limitations I encountered are because the software simply doesn't offer them, or if it's me who can't figure out how to do it.
First, I couldn't figure out how to set up a Master Fader. IE a fader that I could assign all the busses to, to control everything. In particular, I wanted to place a limiter on that bus, rather than 6 different instances of the limiter on each of the 6 bus submixes. BUt I couldn't assign the indivicual busses to another bus...?
Wondering if that's a limitation of the program or am I missing something?
Secondly, I found myself wanting to use two different types of reverbs plus a delay but with only 2 AUX, I ended up putting the delay on the tracks specifically, which gave me three different instances of the delay and very little control over the wet/dry mix. Am I stuck with just 2 AUX with this program? Do newer/better Sonar products offer more AUX busses?
I'm guessing that an upgrade might be in my future, but I'd love to be able to get through the current project I'm working on without having to learn new software... Thanks!
