Second Album - Mixing Help in Sonar?
Hi everyone, I've been a Cakewalk/Sonar user for 15 years. I'm with the modern ProgRock band Circuline. www[DOT]circulinemusic[DOT]com Yes, we're a "real" band - here's some proof: prog[DOT]teamrock[DOT]com/news/2015-09-17/circuline-premiere-return-video We're writing/recording our second album now, and I'm interested in recording and "Pre-Mixing" our album in Sonar, and sending the Sonar Project Files out to an engineer to help us finish mixing the record. Is there anyone out there who has experience mixing progressive rock bands, who would be interested in this? Thank you very much. Andrew Colyer New York CirculineMusic.com

Well, I am a prog keyboard player who has also been a Cakewalk user since the days of 5 1/4" discs on DOS computers.
If I can help you I would be happy to.

Hey Ken,
Thank you so much for replying to my post.
From your signature, it looks like you've got some great gear.
What kind of music do you write/play?
I'm always looking to network with other musicians for my solo projects.
Thanks
AC

I'll try to call you this weekend. I suggest you purge your phone number from your post. (I also have copied your email in case you want to purge that too).

Your method of looking for a engineer is not exactly the best way to go about it. Finding an engineer is a matter of really liking what they have done with similar music to what your band plays. Their must be other bands in New York...  ,,, any how ask them who did their albums. I'm not talking big studios either. There is some excellent talent working in small home studios and I would imagine your in the thick of things where you live. And whether they use Sonar for the final mix is irrelevant. You can port over to any DAW these day's. It would make sense to find this person before you even start so they can be in on how it goes together. There could be someone here but seeing how your in the biggest market in the world, I'd be asking around you local musicians and browsing local music publications and web sites for small studio adds.

I do write in a few different styles. Mostly rock / metal. I play drums in a blues / rock band, guitar in a future - pop band, and "do it all" on my own projects (except drums, they are programmed. Do not have the space at home). It is always nice to meet like minded people.
All the best.

Andrew,
I went looking to hear examples of your band's first album to get an idea where you guys are style wise (and recorded tracks wise). It might have been on your website but all i found were some YOUTUBE videos (by the way, LIVE TARKUS was awesome).
