AUX cheat w/ SONAR X3
High guys!
New here, but Cakewalk user since 1998.
I've been using X3 (PE) for a few years now. I see there is aux routing capability introduced in platinum, but honestly have no interest in upgrading. Hoping some of you had figured out a work around for creating aux tracks prior to the Patch Points update and can share with me some of your techniques. <For example: inserting a side-chain-able plug in (like a Pro-C 2) on an empty track, send or output signal from existing audio track/s to the side chain and solo the sidechain input in the plugin>
Does anybody here know any better methods of accomplishing this effect? Have there been any plugins developed specifically for this purpose?
I don't mind sending all my drums or guitars to a drum bus or guitar bus down below, but it can be annoying and limiting if I just want some parallel compression, for example, on a snare, to either copy/paste and have two snare tracks, unable to run effects in series from one track to another, or sending several snare tracks to a snare bus down bellow. Ideally all my snare tracks are stacked next to each other in the tracks view and sent to a (cheat/rigged) aux 'SNARE' track.
Any and all ideas about this welcome.
Thanks so much!!
