Feel better now?

NO!























...

fwiw, if you install the 'beta' 64-bit Alesis IO24 driver, it seems that it will crash your system for you. My bass player buddy just called to inform me that the reload was successful.

64-bit's been around for years now. How can a driver *stillllll* be in beta?

And frankly, even assuming that an effect with the SAME settings on multiple channels will yield the same output as routing those to a buss and applying the effect there is not correct.

Especially with something like a compressor, which was the OP's goal.

Also - now I decide they would all sound good with their own special reverb on them, so I set up an effects buss, would be nice to be able to add the send to all 12 channels at once.

Then send all 12 tracks to a buss and put a send on that bus to the reverb buss. I know it's just another work around but since you most likely have the "Chant" sent to a buss already for ease of mixing, it would be easier to add a send to the buss instead of all 12 tracks.
Unless I'm confused again. Which does happen quiet often.

Edit: I also think it would be nice to have the option to select numerous tracks and insert an effect.

Is there a way to change Sonar's built in eq to an eq of your choice?

No but that would be sweet too.

Completely incorrect statement that demonstrates some fundamental lack of understanding of mixing methinks

Would it make you feel better if the obvious was stated to you by adding if unnecessary?

no a buss is not the best way to handle the same plug-in on multiple tracks but with different settings on each one - in fact - not even possible. And frankly, even assuming that an effect with the SAME settings on multiple channels will yield the same output as routing those to a buss and applying the effect there is not correct.

Well that is not what I was talking about and you know it. If settings are different I already said how to handle that. So don't pretend it wasn't covered.

In that case one will have to accept the CPU hit on that but to do so routinely is not a good idea when you don't have to.

do you have some CPU problem with your computer ... man ... you might need to call ADK and get set up with some new kit dude!

And that would change the fundamental issue? How? Please don't be stupid on purpose.

Where in that do I say you can't do what you want to do? Did it not end with how to do exactly what you want to do?


uh ........ I can't select 20 tracks, insert a plug in on one of them, and have it auto insert on all 20 ... if I can ... I missed that, apologize, and would be really happy to be told I'm wrong on that point and shown how to do it again!

Again are you really so incapable of reading what is said that you can't see what is being said? No there is no way to add FX to a number tracks at the same time. However by offering a way to get FX on many tracks of the same type I had a solution to the issue.

Call it a work around or a what ever it still is an answer that will get the job done.

In Sonar each audio track has EQ built in. The idea here is to not duplicate when you don't have to. PT HD has DSP hardware Sonar is native. Its really bad practice to add FX of the same type independently to each track. It takes up unnecessary CPU. A bus is the best way to handle this sort of thing in Sonar. Now clearly there will be times when you will need to have the same FX on two different tracks because they will be set up differently. In that case one will have to accept the CPU hit on that but to do so routinely is not a good idea when you don't have to.

You can copy and paste FX as many times as you want. Even with the same settings if you like in Sonar.

Humm, I think you're totaly missing the point.

Actually, the REAL point is to intercept any question that might possibly point towards something that Sonar can't do (especially when compared to a competing product), and deflect it by showing how the procedure in question is either unnecessary or bad practice.

Bwahahaha I might need to put that in my signature ...

Thank you MatsonMusicBox. I see that you're "getting" it.

Also, just because someone has a high post count, does not mean that they know it all ... someone really showed their colors today!
