i'm still running sonar pe 7.0. is this new update compatible? i'd like to check it out...

The template was created with Sonar 7 PE. I used the Cakewalk FX Reverb extensively. It's been around for quite awhile. Hopefully they didn't get rid of it with v8. It's possible I left another plugin that I meant to delete. Let me know.

As far as compressing vocals, you can generally get away with much faster attack times and slower release times.

Once the bundle is opened it can easily be saved as a "Normal" Cakewalk project instead of a "Template" file.

Awesome! The first has been of great help and enjoyment. I can't wait to give this one a spin.

Thanks Jonas - very kind & generous!!!

Hi Jonas,

You are using one instance of a Sonitus reverb.

Once I started using your templates I think in 2006 - I became a huge fan of Cakewalk's fxreverb with your EMT Plate setting. A plug I had previously ignored. It is really a great little reverb if used properly. However I am glad to see you created great settings in the Sonitus reverb since I am using S8PE 64 bit as much as possible. Cakewalks DX plugs do not work in 64 bit. I hope they see the need to change that for us users. I have tried to replicate the sound of your EMT Plate from the fxreverb with other reverbs - but no luck. I will keep chipping away - I do like working with S8 64. Very smooth. But I still start all my latest projects in 32 bit because of your great fxreverb settings. :)

You also included a plug called "velocity" that surprisingly opens up for me to tweak, etc. However, I don't believe this plug is on my hard drive. Is there a way to put it there permanently through the use of your template? I have Sonar 3 through 8.

Thanks again! I am learning a lot more advanced techniques by studying and using your templates. My songs sound great through these signal paths - of course I have to tweak - but I love this starting point.

That's a drag. I may try to work with the Pantheon a bit more to see what I can come up with.

I know! I can't believe how many times I turn to the EMT Plate setting you created. It is a great sounding light duty plug for letting singers hear a reverb when tracking as well.

If you can recreate that sound in Pantheon that would be so GREAT!

Thank You Jonas!

First off, Jonas this kills and thanks for the effort!! I've just set this up for one of my tunes and the results are very nice after a few tweaks here and there. I will be doing more with this!! Great learning experience as well, so thanks again. Now for my question...

I notice the fader is pull all the way down on the submaster bus. Is this so the sends are the only thing going out as they are panned hard left and right for stereo separation? Mix Left and Mix Right then get summed at the Master Out.

Yep.

Jonas,

THANK YOU.

Your other template has been so helpful and has exponentially improved my mixes. It looks like you have gone a couple further on this one, particularly what you have done with the Drum Bus and the two stage compression. Did a quick test and it really does the job, the videos you mention in your info/Notes do a good job of explaining precisely what you are doing with the compression and routing. Spectacular and very nicely done.

Regards
