Thought it would be nice to share a story of Cakewalk employees using SONAR X2 to create a remix. As you may know, one of the cool things about Cakewalk is that many of its' employees are also musicians. In testing SONAR X2a, we used a track created by Cakewalk's Dan Kaplan for testing. Cakewalk QA Engineer Lance Riley ended up doing a remix of his song and it came out so well that we decided to share the remix techniques with our customers. We hope this story will give you some ideas for doing your own remixes. The CA-2A T-Type Leveling Amplifier is featured prominently on vocals. And of course, we used Z3TA+ 2 on this track which just goes to show how truly versatile this synth is for all types of music. Enjoy!

Excuse me but perhaps this should be in the song forum


Sounds good, the mix sounds nice, solid with good range and separation of instrument voices.  Thanks for sharing

Just as an idea what was the s-p-e-c of the PC you used to mix this and what other relevant set information regarding monitors etc..  Thanks

It's more about the techniques used with SONAR X2 so thought it was relevant. It shows how easy it is to take stems and get a totally fresh take on a mix. I posted it in the songs section too. Lance is going to post his specs.

I mixed this on a 64bit Win8 machine with a 2GHz intel i7 and 8 gigs of ram running SONAR X2a x64. I predominantly mix in head phones. I really like how detailed certain things can be when you have a good set. All the edits are clearer and imaging feels better equally spaced and going wide feels necessary more offten working closely with head phone than I've found exclusively working on speakers. Many times if I don't reference on head phone a mix will end up too narrow for my taste. There are many pitfalls to ONLY mixing in head phones though. I use a set of full range monitors for low end reference and general level balance. It's better to A/B in mono using speakers cause with headphones too much of that might make you fall out of your chair.

Andrew I did end the line with  smiley it was a Wookiee tongue in furry cheek comment.

Thanks Lance just nice to let us all know what's possible without a bl-e-e-ding edge PC.

Thanks guys
