especially with the Quad Curve flyout/freq analyst

This version of the QuadCurve EQ only ships with Producer. The QuadCurve EQ that ships with Studio does looks like the version that shipped with X2 Producer.

Oops. Will edit my post. Hi, scook.
 
Even the original QC is darned useful to have anyway though. I rarely use any EQs in the FX bin now unless I have to do something really specific or complicated.

I've laid down the basis of a sidechained tune using just the components of Sonar X3 Standard and very happy with it's massive pumping effect :).
 
I'm using a gated synth source sidechained to the Sonitus Compressor. I've tweaked it to my desired effect where the realtime graphing display of Sonitus Compressor not only assists but looks freakin' cool :)
