How to Get the Audio for the "Mixing with ProChannel" Tutorial

There's a tutorial I wrote about doing a mix with the ProChannel on the Discmakers site. The guide includes a link to download the example project, but several people mentioned it does NOT include audio - only the project file. I found out what the problem is.
 
To get the audio, you need to fill out the form to download the trial version of SONAR X3. You then get an email link with separate download links for:

• SONAR X3 trial
• CA-2A trial (needed for the section on using compression)
• The audio for the project

If all you need is the audio, then you can simply download the audio. It's about 140MB.
 
I'm really sorry about the confusion and that it's not clear how to download only the tutorial project if you're an existing SONAR user, but this should take care of you.

Prior to this thread about the proper way to get the project, I had used the links the in pdf to grab the individual project and wave files. This almost worked. All the audio files have dropbox links. One of the drum file links is a duplicate. I have yet to read the pdf closely but it seems odd to have the links in the pdf.

Except in the download requirements, the tutorial actually references the PC-2A. The project also loads the plug-in as PC2A so it appears to have been made with the old plug-in.

Thanks for clearing that up Craig. Will give this a shot later on today.

The email appeared almost instantly for me.

Same here when I checked it out.

Can this tutorial be done using my sonar studio installation or should I install the producer demo?

 
Not at a computer right now where I can give you a definitive answer, but I think so. Then again you can just download the tutorial and see if it loads. If not, install the Producer demo.

That was fun "mixing with Pro Channel" I still think "your version of "Blackmarket Daydreams has a RUSH vibe from the "Signals era!

I really like the settings used for the VX-64 too!

Any chance of saving the project as a bundle file via drop box? 

Not sure, but nice of you to offer!
 
I saw there was a heap of links to get the audio and couldn't be bothered - maybe I'm just lazy!!

Unfortunately the installation of the Producer demo breaks off because it detects that I already have a full X3 version (studio) installed. At the same time a lot of plug-ins report missing when I open the tutorial project in my existing installation, see above. So unfortunately it looks as if I won't be able to do this - or can someone suggest a solution?
 
 

Same here. No email. :(

Have alerted Cakewalk to this thread.

Craig just wanted to let you know that it was a real treat to "sit over your sholder" and watch you work. That's how it felt doing the tutorial. Really gave me a chance that I never had. To actually watch someone work with the tools that I have, to hear the results, and watch as you started and progressed to the finish.
 
I had a priject I have been working on and have never been satisfied with the results. I went in today with a goal "To remix using the information recently learned"  I did exactly what you did, started with just the recorded trks. No fx's at all. I gave myself two hours to do it so I don't get off on something unrelated to "mixing"
 
Well as far as I got was the two rhythm guitars. But I can already hear that they don't sound near as compressed, have more focus, and more dynamics than before. And I feel that I am on a better track than before. Thanks again Craig.
 
Anyone having trouble mixing or getting started mixing, would do themselves some good to do this tutorial.
