Thanks!

Got it, thank you!

OK thanks.

What is the best way to raise the level of an audio track without increasing the noise floor? I have a spoken audio recorded on an iPhone, it's clear but I can hear the internal noise of the phone. In my old Sonar producer you could right click a clip and raise the gain, but it looks like that option now is to draw nodes as an automation. At any rate I'm not sure if that raises the noise floor as well. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm reposting a related question: I dnloaded the FreeG meter suggested in the Creative Sauce video... do I need to add this to every track & bus or is there a more efficient way to use it for more than one track? Do you use it both before fx for gain setting & also post fx? He uses the fx output level control or the blue cat plug if the fx doesn't have an output level & doesn't mention the faders. Where do they come in? Just balancing everything in the mix?? Thanks!!

Thanks John, I may have missed it. It seems OK now.

OK thanks

Locked screenset! thanks!!

fyi I think I got it- the screenset was locked

Thanks so much!

Not sure, I'll check. Thanks.

I just watched the Creative Sauce video on gain staging. I hate to be dense ( I'm an amateur) but if I use the input/gain knob to adjust levels, when do I use the faders? Adjusting the final mix? Thanks!

Am I missing something (besides my notes)? It's a nice feature, but after making notes in the browser window, they were gone when I reopened the project. Thanks.

Some bus strips stay wide, even when I select narrow. The next time I open Sonar, they are wide again. A minor issue, but it would save me some space to have all narrow. Is there a fix for this? thanks.

Thanks! I mostly want it for spoken tone poems with sound effects in the background. I thought about using it for general accompaniment for vocals but I think automation is a better choice for that?

I have the directions to set up ducking for the old (pre-bandlab) Producer using the sonitus compressor. Are there any updated or improved directions for the current version of Sonar or using a different compressor? Thanks!

Thanks I'll recheck it!

Got it, thanks! I didn't realize there was an index (I didn't get that far yet) & yes control/F works also.

I don't see a search icon. Is there any to search such a large guide?

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Hi guys. Do you keep Melodyne loaded in an fx bin in templates? Or in it's own workspace? Or just right-click to load on a track as needed? Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I think it's just a levels issue. I need a higher level than other verbs to hear the effect. In the attachment there's nothing listed in presets in the upper left... does that matter? I just choose a preset from the list below.

Thanks, very helpful!!
