When you say the audio quality is not very good that brings up a red flag. Are you using an audio interface or just some an adapter cable into your computers line input. If so that would explain possible pour quality audio. Who knows what's going on there. They could have some sort of auto leveling as well as the quality of the A/D convertors will be questionable. I've owned a lot of different laptops as example and there can be a huge difference in the built in audio quality. And then a second red flag would be why are you thinking a compressor would solve this. You should be recording the tracks at a safe level, like -12db. After they are recorded you can easily adjust if needed. The way all Daw's work is the recorded audio will go directly to "tape" . And the next question is do you want to squash the sound or simply limit its output? Possibly what you want is a Brickwall Limiter. like pro channel the concrete limiter.

Put the Compressor on the Master bus. When you're ready to bounce/export, set Buses as the source in the dialog, and choose the Master bus only. If the project has other buses, you can first Ctrl+Shift-Click the Master to clear all checkmarks and re-check the Master. Incidentally, if done correctly, the sound of your rendered mix will not differ at all from live playback (assuming both are mono) unless you're playing it back through a different app or hardware or in a different environment. If you're talking about it soundiing different through a mono amp in the performance venue than it does when listening to dual-mono monitoring in your studio, that's one thing, but the live and rendered digital signals should be identical.

You can using Patch Points. I just wouldn't in case it goes wrong - do what @Wookiee says.

Man...I need to slow down. I read the OP as the add on was $299...my bad

$240 could be a bit tempting, but my price with the code is $316 thanks to Spitfire math and VAT. (I got an email saying it'd be $304. Of course USD isn't even my currency.)

Thanks for response and Happy Thanksgiving. I actually have all effects and and mix totally programmed from the korg keyboard. I just want to add compression when sending finished midi song to audio track. I can route the keyboard line outs to an external compressor then into DAW and record the audio track. Was just trying to figure out how to do it within the DAW using compressor in Sonar instead of external compressor. Will be out for few days but will check in later.

Happy Thanksgiving Lars and hope it's a great one for everyone too!

There are 2 sets of Delay settings that can be linked: Factor, Feedback, Crossfeed, and Mix. One set if for the left channel; the other set is for the right channel, assuming you don't have the two channels linked. In that case, both Left and Right use the Left settings. Think customizations for "Ping Pong" delay. For each channel the Mix sets the % of the delayed signal that gets mixed with the original (incoming). 0% means the channel (L or R or both, if linked ) only has the original signal coming into the Delay module. 100% means the channel has 0% of the original/incoming signal (aka 100% of the Mix comes from the Delay, none or the original). Tip: To explore different delay settings on the two channels, turn the link off: ->

Happy thanksgiving hope everyone has a great day!

I've never heard of it so I downloaded and installed the win64 versions, vst and vst3. After scanning the plugins and inserting it as a synth with associated audio and MIDI tracks it responds like most other synth plugins, other than all the modular connections that I have a very poor understanding of. Clicking the File menu item at the top left and clicking Open demo /example project reveals a short list of demo projects with the associated modular connections. How familiar are you with Sonar and inserting synths into a project? If you've done it before, inserting Cardinal works the same way. I've had years of experience at this basic function so it only took me a few minutes to get it going. How well you'll be able to use it depends on your knowledge of, and experience with, modular synthesis. I have zero experience with modular synths so I can't help you there.

For Core Delay, what do the "Left" and "Right" labels refer to? The Right label is especially confusing to me - at first I thought (since it was above "Mix") that it referred to the Left/Right stereo mix. Happy Thanksgiving!
