LAME in SONAR X2/64 ?

Still working on setting up my new DAW.

I've always used the LAME plug-in in the past and wonder if it works okay with X2/64.

Or does X2 offer something that makes LAME unnecessary.
 
Still learning the ropes...

Thanks.

Oops!  My bad, I meant the Voxengo SPAN EQ Analyzer (been a long day).

Well, in that case, I use Voxengo SPAN all the time in X2 x64 all the time, no problems so far.
 
Know what you mean about long day.  It's 1.45a.m. here, and I've still some work to do.

I got Pro Audio 9 as well and am wondering the same thing.  I always used it before, but couldn't seem to find the way to do it in X1 or X2.  Anybody know?

Weird...  I just tried exporting a project as an MP3 and it worked.  I don't believe I installed the encoder or anything (unless it was hidden in the installation somewhere).

  I use lame. I usually export to wave then convert the waves using lame. works on both windows 7x64 and  8 x64. ify you can export straight to mp3 from inside sonar i'd like to know how.

I use to do something similar, but recently have had to send people test/practice tracks via email, and stumped up the fifteen quid for licence.  It's so much easier now.

I just did a clean install of Win8 and X2 64-bit last week, and I get Lame 3.97 when I export mp3, so I'm assuming X2 comes with Lame. Seems to work fine.

X2 only comes with a thirty day trial MP3 encoder.  After that time it stops working.

Yeah, it's possible Lame may have come with another program I just installed, although the only one I can think of is Vegas.  I have the Fraunhofer encoder license from CW Pro Audio 9 if I need it, but Lame does a decent job and it's open source.

Dont' forget that if you previously had the 32 bit version of SONAR and were using the Cakewalk mp3 encoder then you will need to get a download link for the 64 bit version. You can get it by sending a link request to customer support.

Thanks mudgel...

I've got one going out as I finsih this reply...

I've been using the one from ProAudio9 for waht feels like forever! ;-)

Yep, it requires a bit of registry work but has been covered many mant time b4. Sorry I can't be bothered searching for it. Please do not heap scorn upon me Coffee house people.
