Recording the processed signal.

How can I make the signal of the first track return to a second track with the Sonar 6? So, if I insert the Auto Tune in the first, the second track will record the processed signal.
Could you please, help me with this question?
PS. I have a M-Audio Firewire 410 sound card.
Thanks.

    Or, if you don't need the clean signal version, just process the track with the desired effect.

    It would be better recording on realtime! 2006/11/29 14:44:10 (permalink)
    Ok. Thank you guys, but I didn´t explain right. I´d like to record on realtime. With this way you can solo the track to record or play with all tracks just to check if the vocal is tuned. With my old sound card (Delta 44), it was possible to assign the input of the track to a "mixer", that sounds just like a return.
    Did you understand?

    Input monitoring may be what you are looking for. But if you already have a recorded track the advice above is the best way to do what you may want to do. As for recording a new track from an old track it can be done by routing the signal as needed. But that is not a good way to do it.

    Best

    I'm more confused than ever. Unless you are doing some external processing, there is no advantage to recording the output of your mixer and a lot of disadvantages. Maybe you can take another shot at explaining how/what/why?

    Unless I've completely lost the plot (easy, just watch me ), this sounds like a comprehensive misunderstanding of basic recording principles itb.

    No insult intended to the OP; just a gentle encouragement to get back to basics & do some reading.

    ORIGINAL: John

    Input monitoring may be what you are looking for.




    Input monitoring (Input Echo button next to MSR buttons) will do everything you want except record the processed signal to a track. It takes your track input, runs it through your plugins, and sends the processed signal out to your audio interface (set using the track output) allowing you to hear what the processing does before recording.

    The unprocessed incoming signal is what gets recorded, but when you play it back it gets processed and thus sounds like what you heard while recording.

    Let me try to explain clearly:
    1 - I already have a recorded vocal track on the Sonar 6.
    2 - I inserted the Auto tune 4 on FX of this track.
    3 - I want to adjust the plugin for each sung phrase differently with the manual mode (graphic correction mode).
    4 - The next steps are: record the first phrase precessed on a different track (so I have the unprocessed signal intact); readjust the Auto Tune for the next phrase and record again and again, etc. Until the last phrase.

    Is this process wrong? I know that on Protools there is something similar to this. If there is a better way, let me know, please.

    You can apply FX on a per clip basis, so its just a matter of slicing your vocal and applying the autotune to each clip (right clicking the clip shows you the options). No need for bouncing, although when you are finished you can bounce it to save some CPU.

    Greetings Daniel,

    That's correct, there is a much easier way!

    Just clone the original clip as many times as you want and move them where you want them and use Auto Tune on each clip.

    Regards,
    David
