This is a good thing, is that those of us who used Sonar LE for some time have a faster learning curve since the UI is basically the same thing, it's just trillions and zillions of different features to get used to. What I would want to do, is to somehow have available some tutorial or demonstration projects for Sonar that give good clear examples of when and why a certain feature could/would be a good idea to use. Then use the sample/demo project to give a working example of what the feature(s) talked about in the tutorial/article/blog entry would sound like when used the right way. Some example features I'm still trying to figure out/understand are:
1. Audio snap 2. Track layers 3. The matrix view 4. Some FX not commonly used like phaser, multi band EQ, parametric EQ, graphic EQ, delay, distortion, chorus, compression, master limiter, boost and channel tools. 5. Assignable controls 6. Automation. Whoever can do the tutorials/projects could send them to Vic and they could be hosted on JSonar's website for all JSonar users to take advantage of. Does anybody think this could be possible? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Torpey Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 11:24 PM To: 'JSonar -- JAWS Scripts for Sonar list' Subject: Re: [Jsonar] Using the Envelope tool with Jsonar Ah, after a bunch of playing around, I finally interpreted what you said (and the Sonar documentation was trying to describe) correctly and got the effect I wanted! I was able to control the amount of effect using automation and the pitch wheel on my midi keyboard. I couldn't get the effect to be controlled by any of the sliders on my midi keyboard. when I chose "controller" and the "learn" mode of sonar, nothing happened. Aren't the sliders considered controllers? Well, in any case, I got it to work by using the pitch wheel as the control surface. Thanks again. Your directions were good. The trouble I keep having with the Sonar documentation is that most everything is described using the mouse and embedded pictorials of what you should be seeing in each dialog. thus, unless you're familiar with the program already, it is difficult to comprehend what they are trying to explain. slowly I'm learning. --Pete -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Faben Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 1:08 PM To: JSonar -- JAWS Scripts for Sonar list Subject: Re: [Jsonar] Using the Envelope tool with Jsonar Hi, Also no idea here I'm afraid on the envelope tool and there are probably a good few differnt ways to do the task you want to do, however, the best option useually is something like the following (hoping I'm getting it right as I'm not at home or near my Sonar computer as I'm on hols...): You'd basically want to do it by using an 'effects send'. Basically insert an effects send onto the track with the audio you want to add the selective echo/reverb/delay to, if one isn't alreayd there. Then insert the desired effect for the delay/reverb/whatever you want, on to the Effects bus. Back on your track of audio, you'll need to activate the send, and then move the send volume up to determine how much is being sent to the send. Of course, this will add the patched effect from the effect send to the entire audio track; there are really two ways to then make it only have the effect on the parts of the audio you want it to be on; Most people seem to go for recording automation on the effects send on the audio track; basically have the volume of the effects send set to nothing on the bits you want no efect, and set higher on those bits you want the effect on (the level obviously altering how much of the effect is heard). Another way might be to automate the volume on the effects send bus itself, whilst having the volume on the audio track's effects send level, set high enough; basiclaly reduce the volume of the bus on the parts where you don't want to be hearing the effect... err I've probably not described that as well as I might have done were I able to look and make sure I'd got it right on my sonar machine... but maybe it'll help...
