Hey guys, i'm on Sonar 8.5! What is the easiest way to Flange an entire mix for a couple bars ....the last time i did this ('bout 7 years ago) it was a bit of a task ....i beleive i cut the entire mix to new tracks and a sub master fader for the Flange ......there must be a quicker way! 
 
I don't mind printing destructive audio ...i'll just save it under a different project name! 

The simplest way would be to automate the flanger on the master bus. The plug-in should have either have an on/off or wet/dry setting.

ok ....i figured so ..i gotta learn how to automate a plug in ...

If anyone can teach me how do do this .....greatly appreciated! 
 

Here is a video showing how to create a volume envelop. Plug-in parameters can be automated in the same fashion.

oh sweet bro ...well i been doing volume envelopes for years ...didn't realize plugs worked the same ..thanks! 

holy crap ..so easy ...buss envelopes ...
 

ok ...so all i need to do is turn the plug on and off ....cake seems to have missed that option ....or have i?
 

Or you can automate the mix control from 100% dry to however much flange you want and then return to the dry.

Yep. It is easy when you know how. Even though the videos use X1, the techniques in Craig Anderton's two videos SONAR X1 Advanced Workshop and Advanced Workshop: The Next Level are really worth a look. The Vintage Tape Flanging technique describe in "The Next Level" video is a great trick using the Sonitus Modulator. I bet you might find the trick alone is work the cost of the videos.
