Check Edit, Preferences, VST Settings Look at the top box. Be sure the paths are correct to your plugins. Then click scan. (SCAN box above here)

Added -> Just open a few projects. Always save under a new name just to be safe. I have tested many projects between CbB and Sonar with a ton of pluggins, no problems. I do see that a few people are having problems.

You just open them. No conversions needed

Yes unless the plugin has its dithering option. Sand plug-ins can be set by a default. Some plug-ins are turned on all the time by default

This feature is great for parallel compression on the master bus too. Occasionally I do tri-parallel compression/saturation splits and blend back to a master bus.

It’s in the plugin menu. Look at the title bar on top of the plugin. Options are there.

I had the plug-in windows open over my console view on a second monitor. For some reason, the new version places the newest plug-in loaded on the top window. But, if you load a second or 3rd - all older ones are moved to the back underneath the console view. It does not happen with plug-ins on the 1st monitor. All plug-ins load on top of console view on second monitor in all previous versions from Sonar X1-Platinum, CbB and Sonar until this last update. I do not use the MultiDock if it makes a difference.

When recycle is on plugins just use the same window. With it off I could single click on 2 plugins and the would have separate windows no pinning needed. This was in Cakewalk and Sonar no ctrl and no double click required. I’m going to go check it in Cakewalk.

It seems that recycle plugin windows is stuck on. PLEASE fix this. I can barely work without several plugins open at the same time. Thanks

Don’t close the app

Most track features can be done on multiple tracks at once. Select tracks (for all tracks click on number one for the first track then hold down the control key then tap the letter a) when all the tracks are selected almost any function in the track header can change every track. The trick is to hold the control key down first then change the track input, output, mute, solo, etc.. then release the control key. Done!

Multiple passes with a few db removal. If it’s a sample learning app, pick a different section of noise each time. Also, vary the settings slightly each pass. Don’t use the same settings 5 times. 😉

Waves vocal rider is an automatic volume leveling plugin. There is no need for you to ride anything. You set the high volume level and the low volume level. Then, the vocals are confined to this range. You could automate the sliders, but it is usually not needed. It is very similar to a slow compressor, set and forget. You do have to adjust gain compensation to be sure vocal rider is getting the correct amount of volume. I usually use a compressor after it to further level the vocals. MV2 or rencompressor if I’m using waves stuff.

With all the new AI apps this is getting closer to a reality. In the last year or so there have been some great AI advances. like Clarity Vx Pro by Waves. I am expecting many more in the next few years.
