Well, until someone posts an awesome guitar-laden track that sounds awesome with TH2, I am calling ultra-mega-bull-sheet on it. Sorry.  PROVE me wrong!


Wouldn't it be more useful if you see for youself? Download the demo, it either works for you or it doesn't. It really does not matter what someone else can do.

I have, and no it doesn't work for me. What I want to see, especially from Beepster, is what is so awesome about it.


Just want to hear what people are doing with it on the off chance that I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue. Otherwise, I've made my opinion quite clear on the subject.

If you don't like the software don't use it. I like it so I'm using it. I'll post what I can when I can. I intended to anyway. You seem to have made up your mind already though so anything I post I'm sure will get poo pooed. I gave detailed instructions on how to get the tone I am using for this project so try it and make up your own mind. It was quickly dialed in and as I said will be refined later but to me it sounds better than anything I could get out of GR after endless tweaking. If you disagree, fine. If you end up liking it, great. I'm too tired and cranky to care today. Peace.

"Awesome" is not a scientific term. There's no burden of proof on Beepster.

Oh, silly me, forgot there is an "impulse" cab loader. There goes fizzy bye-bye :D Now, I just gotta get some more IR's!

There are a bunch of Ir's available on line. I downloaded a few to try. When I upgraded to Sonar X2 I bought the box set with the DVD's. Once I finished testing everything I reformatted my hard drive and installed windows 7.


When it came time to setup Sonar x2 I used the box set. On the first install DVD there is an option to explore disk. I clicked on it and began to look around. I found a whole pile of IR's on the first install DVD.


This is another reason I like to get the backup DVDs. Some are great for Perfect Space and Some are really good for TH2. What a great little hidden feature on that box set.

And finally, I've read a lot of good things about Mr. Anderton, where might I find some of his tutorials and/or writings? 

He has two videos available at the cakewalk store. They give tips and tricks on X1 but the same tricks can be applied to X2


One of his video even has a guitar chapter. he shows a cool trick using a multiband compressor and guitar tones. I think the de-esser trick with the settings are in that chapter too. I purchased both videos and I highly recommend them. Currently there is a bundle offer for 34 bucks. Lots of good tips in there. I remember spending around 79 bucks on them.

Just started mapping out my leads. Sorry but I had to fix my drum parts and tighten the rhythm guits and bass back up. Also had to take some time to do self maintenance (laundry ain't gonna do itself... no matter how much I yell at it) and work on another track for a different project. Blah blah excuses excuses I know. However I just wanted to say that the settings I had for my rhythm parts weren't working so well for leads. The gate was cutting out the sweet stuff and it was all kind of crackly and meh so I tweaked things a bit but still kept the general settings. Just playing through it kind of sucked but for some reason listening back to anything I recorded with the new settings was SICK. It'll need some extra tweaking during mixing but I'm still quite happy with how it's all working out rather effortlessly. Might take me a couple days to write and track the leads but it's turning into a very cool sounding tune. Just thought I'd let you guys know that I haven't forgotten or flaked out on it. Cheers.
