StudioMix in Sonar Platinum?

I've enabled Peavey StudioMix in every version of Cakewalk/Sonar for years.
How do I enable it in SP?
 
thanks,

You've got good mileage out that. They were released in 1999 I thinK.

I'm not in front of Sonar at the moment but it should be the same as most versions of Sonar, through the MIDI section of Preferences is where the menu is located.

Use as an ACT controller.

I would guess that it is the same... I was using it in X3e and plan on using it in SPlat later this week... I'll certainly post my situation with it afterwards...

As I can't afford to upgrade the iPad software I use for remote visual, I still use the Studiomix for transport control while recording myself doing vocals...

I created an ACT surface.  There seem to be some StudioMix presets, but they don't work correctly.
So, I tried defining the ACT myself.  It works somewhat.
Play, Stop and the volume sliders are good. The jog wheel only jogs by full measures right now.
Yes, StudioMix is an old toy, but it's always been solid and useful.
Wish there was a template already constructed to import.

Wouldn't the original controller plug-in still work? The one from the DigiTech GNX 4 still does.

The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

If you were using it before this, it should be (almost) ready to use again in SPlat...

I found that my Studiomix setup was right where it should be next to my Markus control setup.
All I had to do was edit it to allow for the different midi port system I have now... (Just I/o needed to be selected)

I created the entry back when the Studiomix was released and it has migrated to every Sonar release since.

Last night I did a vocal session by myself using the Studiomix for transport control and my iPad for wireless visual of the screen... I was in the studio, not the control room...

Note that I do keep the faders disabled as the jitter drives me nuts and it's too hard to remember and reset all the faders every time I need to save! ;-)

If you need the setup particulars, I can probably find them. It has been near a decade since I last looked for/at that! ;-)

Sonar Professional only shows about 4 or 5 Controller/Surfaces available.  Prior versions had a slew of surfaces, including the StudioMix.
 
Why does Cakewalk keep doing this.  If something existed in prior versions, why not carry it over, or at least, give us the option to install it.  Although StudioMix is an old piece of equipment, it is still solid and useful.  I have the same problem with my V-Studio by Cakewalk.  It took me a lot of work and research to modify the installation files to allow it to work under Windows 10.
 
Both these items were branded with the Cakewalk logo, which I thought would be supported.  I don't know how I can justify buying another piece of Cakewalk hardware again!

Re: StudioMix in Sonar Platinum? 2016/03/29 12:36:58 (permalink)
Cakewalk/Sonar does still support it and I still use mine...

Change is inevitable... Believing something will next change is futile... ;-)

If you still had it on the original OS/machine with the same version of Cake-product, it would still be the same...

Some things eventually must be changed due to other changes.. The universe is in a constant state of change! ;-)

I thoroughly understand that we are in a constant state of change and I can accept it as much as the next guy.  But, when I paid a few thousand dollars on a piece of equipment that bears the company logo, I expect said company to support it and it should last more than just a few years.
 
None-the-less, thanks scook for the link.

Does Ford still offer parts for a 1940's car?

Re: StudioMix in Sonar Platinum? 2016/03/29 16:14:15 (permalink)
Your analogy is faulty.  Ford would have to produce NEW parts for the 1940's car.  Cakewalk took out a function that was already there.  BTW... I had the same problem with my Cakewalk V-Studio 700 ($5000) only 5 years old.  Does Ford make parts for a 5 year old car?... YES!
You're missing the point.  I am not the only one with complaints like these... the internet is full of them.
 
Anyway, sorry for taking up everyone's valuable time... and thanks again to constructive posting from scook.

Several thousand for StudioMix?
 
I just want to add that since close to nothing has changed in API, it is supported in the latest Sonar the same way as in older versions. As we can not expect 1940 car get MP3 player and navigation from Ford (and for free in addition), I hope you are not expecting dedicate ProChannel support for StudioMix.
 
In fact I have tried to give it a "new live", my the device I harvested on e-bay has severe aging problems (with faders, encoders and communication).
 
And for "Cakewalk" label, do not forget that people which develop Sonar and people which put the label are different. For VS you can send all your "likes" to Roland, what CW can do with the fact it was sold to other company?

OK... I have 2 StudioMixes and Scook's link above fixed my problem.  I just migrated to a newer system and the new Platinum installation didn't come with StudioMix Support.  I was still able to find a solution within 5 minutes of trying to set mine up.

Three more things that I'd really like to see.

1)  Cakewalk would remember to load up the preset for the second StudioMix to control channels 9-16
2)  Or better yet, the preset load could be automated with the timeline, although I could foresee a lot of slamming
2)  The ability to use the controllers on the bus channels as well as the track channels

We can always wish, right?

On a philosophical note...

I really admire the engineering and quality that goes into good products of all types, especially musical instruments and equipment.  The StudioMix is really a cool piece.  Very well built, and I would have killed to have one of these and the equipment it interfaced with back in the analog days.  That would have been a very neat and usable setup. 

So, although I only paid about $150 for my two StudioMixes, I am very fond of them.  They're very useful and have saved me countless hours just in the transport controls alone.  Plus, my clients all think they're pretty keen, too.

All of Sonar is able to mix track.
It is choice the many track with CTRL key + track num is clicked.
If your track is composed by MIDI,You must bounce the track for audio track that is choose the MIDI track with plug in track.
And you must click the "TRACK" on track view.
Then you must apply the bounce to track.
And then you can do adding the effect on audio track and send bus is for all track.
And you can choice the mastering effect.
The sonar is all in one for virtual studio at recording.
Let's try it!

I sing for love on alternative rock,
I take the Sonar professional to itunes store,and apple music, and google plaay music

Thanks for this link.  I still have my StudioMix and tried to install in on a new Win10 machine with Sonar Platinum, but the controll surface installers were absent.  This link solved my issue, and I have my old faithful StudioMix working again--everything works.  Thanks
