I am so used to using the scroll wheel but keep finding I have changed the volume or pan on a channel strip. How do i know when it will affect a control & when it will just take me to the top of the page? thanks!

Great thanks!

The global button in the inspector disables pro channel on the corresponding channel strip but doesn't affect any other strips. Also the individual modules in the inspector still show they are enabled, even with global off. thanks!

Thanks, I'll take a look.

18i8, win 10, no messages. Finally i rolled it back & it's OK now. No idea why, even Focusrite tech support said it wouldn't affect my plugs, but it did. I don't think I'm missing anything by using an older driver in place of the latest one?

I updated the driver for my focusrite Scarlet interface and lost the sonitus plugins or at least sonar won't recognize them now. Also FX chains no longer work. I can't combine FX in the bin into a chain and my previously created chains are gone. I can live without sonitus and probably without chains also but they are a nice way of organizing the FX bin. Anyone had experience with this? I don't know if I can revert back to the old driver or not. Thanks.

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!

Thanks!!
