Sonar LE/X1 Essentials and Garritan Personal Orchestra


    Friends,
                  I finally got Midi as well as audio to play through my Cakewalk FA-66 Audio Capture interface and I'm having the time of my life.  Along with Sonar, I am currently using FL Studio which at present holds the lion's share of my vst plugins (since I've been using FL for awhile and have only recently been using Sonar.)  Now, I'm able to load my Garritan Instruments into FL no sweat, and I don't have to use a separate ARIA browser for each instrument.  I only have to clone several midi outs for however many instruments I need.  It makes set up a virtual snap, and I can spend more time making music.  Is there something similar I can do in Sonar?  Thanks for all your help.

    Hi, MadKat - Yes, what you describe doing in FL Studio to set up GPO is exactly what you do in Sonar.  Aria's multi-timbral, so you can have up to 16 instruments loaded in one instance.  Each instrument generally should have its own MIDI channel, and you're also best off assigning a different audio out for each instrument - click the "1/2" to change which stereo pair an instrument is assigned to.

    You never need to have an entire instance of Aria taken over by just a single instrument.
