ProChannel EQ question
I like the prochannel EQ but find myself using the EQ in Ozone5 on each track instead because in Ozone, you can see the frequency data behind the EQ markers. Its much easier when you can cut frequencies that are displayed in the same pluggin instead of going back and forth with trial and error. So, my questions are:
Is it possible to see the EQ date behind the EQ markers in the ProChannel EQ?
If not, can Sonar X2 be changed so it will default to a different EQ other than the stock EQ?
Can you expand the size of the EQ in ProChannel. Its a bit small regardless of the size of the monitor.
Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe...
Enter the world of Sonar X3!
The new update has a large fly-out that gives a spectrum analysis behind the enlarged EQ window... This among many things is a great reason to upgrade to X3...

In X2 you can create custom templates that have any effects you like in the pro channel.
X3 has bigger eqs with fft behind it, but you can really only use one at a time.

I'm assuming he's talking about the advanced version where you can open just the EQ.

Is Ozone 5 a CPU hog even if you only have one module open?

+1 on that John. Ozone on every channel means you don't have many tracks or your computer is really powerful. Ozone is really meant for mastering or put it on the bus for the final mix. Alloy is Ozone's younger brother and it takes up a lot less system resources. That must be one heck of a machine you got to run Ozone on everything. As some here have already mentioned X3 has the EQ you are looking for and the other new features are pretty awesome too

Ozone has a lot of features built into it. It is designed to be a one stop plugin for mastering or insert it on a master buss. Depending on what you are using it for it is possible it could take up a lot of CPU cycles. that being said the plugin is incredible and it is definitely worth the money. It has become my go to plug for mastering.

By any measure Ozone 5 is a CPU hog. It is also the very best single mastering plugin there is.

But the advanced version comes with individual plugs (eq, limiter, etc) instead of just the big one.

The advanced version also cost $1,000.00. I just got the version that cost 250.00 and have everything in one plug. They are all the same plugs

Thanks guys. I am familiar with templates and all of the possible solutions mentioned above. Thanks for those.
I was just hoping we could change default EQs. Sounds like we can't. Oh well, I guess I will update to X3 tonight.
I have the standard version of Ozone, not the fancy one where you can load individual components. My PC is pretty powerfull and this project in particular is 48 tracks.... of those 48, 22 of them have ozone running on them. Again, this is because I was unahppy with the standard ProChannel EQ. With all of that said, I am not having dropouts. Oh, there are 3 instances of Omnishpere on that track as well.
Thanks again
Joe

Be aware that in X3c the 64 Double Precision Engine should be unchecked. There is a bug in the spectrum analyzer that causes it to spike and then flat-line that has been reported and should be fixed with the next patch. Unchecking the 64-bit DPE "solves" this, for now.

As with Joe here; I too use Ozone 5 (the standard version) on multiple tracks with no known issues. I do like the EQ that is included with Ozone 5. Although I don't normally run very high numbers of tracks (50 or more) nor do I use Ozone on all tracks.
