I was just wondering if there are any project that can be downloaded and then loaded into X3 (Studio) - I know there is the one tutorial, but think it would be great if there were more to choose from, oh yeah and different genre too to select and check out...
 
cheers

Take care,

There is quite a good sample project for download from the cakewalk site. Use the search here feature there.

If you go to Support, a page opens that gives you lots of choices. Far left of the page is Sonar, within that tree is X3 and that page gives you a couple of entries. One is the demo project for this version. Here's the link.

thx - this must be the link your referring to - http://cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm

I had never thought of this before but that link is very good for folks who want to practice with the mechanics of editing/mixing for sure. At least the one I grabbed was wav files for all of the tracks of the project, live mics on many instruments so could play with panning, etc. too...
 
As I am light on the "final mix" (especially bussing) side of things, this was a lot of fun to see what I could do "quick" in X3. I grabbed the first project that caught my eye and imported all of the tracks into X3, did a little bus routing, inserted prochannels on the busses (many were default SONAR presets), tailored it a bit and mixed it down for kicks... (I actually only used ProChannel on the busses, so could have tweaked it significantly more, but chose not too).
 
and then I listened to their mp3... X3 wins

I rarely ever record anything, I just love to mix/master and Mike Senior's  website gave me a chance to learn how. I.ve downloaded most all the hard rock stuff. I also have his book.

@JimmyBoy - yes Sir, that is the link. Thanks for the assist. I have enjoyed the opportunities to practice mixing with these files. Along with Dude Ivey, I have a copy of the book. A good read. 
 
Take care!

Thanks for posting this. I saved the link in a place where I will see it every day. This will be a huge help to me.

Hey no problems - great link, I was also hoping for more specific X3 related projects, like a library of projects that can be downloaded from cakewalk - not just the one single demo that they have as suggested earlier post by mudgel..
 
I think demo projects would help to accelerate learning and using the product rather than read or watch youtube vids..
 
How about it CW? I'd like to see a lot more demos, maybe 3 or 4 demos in each genre suitable for each version of X3..

Word is, there is to be a Gobbler forum sometime 'soon'.. Will be nice to get some Sonar projects to learn from...


Thanks for the Mixing Secrets link...
