FxReverb, FxDelay,...in P5?

I don't think the fx<effect> series are actually DX effects, but rather an older Cakewalk interface which Sonar would support for backwards compatibility, but which P5 wouldn't support.

I think Bob is talking about the DSP-FX plugins which come bundled with Sonar. This are not the same as the Cakewalk plugins that have been bundled since the days of Pro Audio.

The DSP-FX plugins are FxChorus, FxReverb, FxEq, FxFlanger, and FxReverb. They are good and I particularly like the flanger. Unfortunately, they only seem to work in Sonar. This is common among Sonar plugins: I can't load Pantheon LE or Tassman LE in Kinetic.

My guess is that if you want to use those plugins in any other app, you must purchase the full DSP-FX package. You can find it at http://www.dspfx.com/

The plugins on the full package are a bit dated and have an awkward interface but they're pretty good. There's 12 plugins including a great mastering limiter which IMO was better than Waves L2.

Thanks for all the replies.

I was indeed referring to the effects that came bundled with Sonar 1 originally. They are listed as FxReverb, etc. in Sonar.

b-rock, I do have the effects that you mentioned, Chorus (mono), etc., in P5 also. I was hoping to use the newer DSP-fx.

I like FxReverb; that's mainly what I use for reverb (in Sonar). I do have GlaceVerb, and use it occasionally but find it a little metallic, but for free, it's a steal.

I don't like that FxDelay is all based in milliseconds; no tempo ratios. I'm too lazy to do the math; spoiled by P5's tempo synced delays.

I just thought, based on the original Mike West quote, that maybe it was possible to use those DSP fx in P5 and I was just missing something.

Thanks for that link, fac. Boy do those GUI's look very different from the Sonar versions. I guess they were customized for Cakewalk's Sonar.
