Will Cakewalk make it easier to implement some of these suggestions in X2?
I'd like to see more "friendly" naming for the inputs and outputs as suggested on page 12.
best regards,
mike

Hi Mike, That feature has been available in SONAR for a few versions now. In X1, press P and choose Audio > Devices. Then put a checkmark next to Use Friendly Names To Represent Audio Drivers. Then you can double-click each name in the Input Drivers and Output Drivers lists to rename them to anything you want. Scott -- Scott R.

Hi Scott... I have been aware of that very disappointing implementation of naming for the several versions you speak of.
I imagine you are too.
If you try to use SONAR's advertised feature of friendly names you end up with the most unfriendly of friendly names.... certainly nothing like the the easy to understand names suggested by the document you helped produce.
I'd like to name input 2 ( a mono input) of my system input 2 in SONAR... but I can't... the best I can hope for is Right input 1 or something ridiculously non universal like that.
I like the committee's recommendation to use simple and universal input and output names so that the project may transfer more easily to any other type of system or studio layout.
best regards,
mike

In many cases it seems that it is the interface that reports its i/o in pairs. I wrote an app for myself that would allow me to interface directly with my console (Presonus SL16) which has a 32 x 18 interface. When I polled the board it does indeed report 8 pairs rather than 16 invididuals. I agree It would be nice if Sonar allowed individual name mapping to each half of a stereo pair, but it is not completely cut and dried. Cheers..Grif mike_mccue

Sure it is cut and dry.
The very same computers using many other DAWs can name the very same inputs input 1, input 2, input 3 etc. etc.
The names are arbitrary labels and they can either be friendly or not.
On most DAWs the regular old input and output names are friendlier than SONAR's so called friendly names.
I hope SONAR X2 Producer reflects some of the wisdom shared in the Producer and Engineer wing's Production Guidelines.
best regards,
mike

Scott, On page 13 of the document it states, Render tracks into contiguous audio files starting from the beginning of the project/session when you are completely finished editing them. Rendering tracks into contiguous audio files improves project/session
playback, and lessens the number of audio files and fades, simplifying archiving and restoration. Starting from the beginning of the project/session will allow the audio files of the rendered tracks to be used easily with other DAW's, and is a second way to confirm sync. Always make sure there are no clicks and pops before rendering. Also save a copy of the project/session with the unrendered tracks to the Source Projects/Sessions folder. See the Platform Specific guidelines for a more detailed explanation on the best way to do this with your DAW.
I can see where this is beneficial but when I looked for the Platform Specific guidelines I could not find them. Could you clue us in on where these docs are? Or provide some insight into how to render tracks into contiguous audio files in SONAR?
Also, I thought it was adivisable to remove empty space in tracks, eg. the silence found in vocal tracks? This was to help to give as clean a sound as possible. I know it creates additional files (before X1?) but doesn't rendering add back that removed silence - the data portion?
Thanks

Hi John, I don't know of any platform specific guidelines... only what's found at: http://www.grammy.org/rec...d-engineers/guidelines That part of the document is talking about sharing projects with other people who do not have the same DAW software. If you don't plan to do that, then you don't really need to render the tracks. As a matter of fact, if you do need to do this at some point, SONAR makes it very easy. You don't need to make any changes to the project, you just do a File > Export > Audio. Choose the Tracks option for the Source Category, and SONAR automatically exports one contiguous audio file for each track. Scott -- Scott R.

File > Export > Audio. Choose the Tracks option for the Source Category, and SONAR automatically exports one contiguous audio file for each track. A tip for Sonar: Do the mono interleave and stereo interleave tracks separately and choose the corresponding mono or stereo output format when you do. Otherwise your mono tracks will end up as stereo.
