But currently I have just completed my first orchestral work, and want to make a good sound. Thank you for such a free software for the blind to access Sonar, but here are many questions: 1. Can I make tempo change gradually? Thus, accelerando and ritardando? I know sighted people drags graphic line to increase and decrease tempo. Must we blind change tempo marks beat by beat instead? Phil replied: you can increase/decrease tempo in Sonar by selecting all of the tracks in a project from a start and end point. you then can tell Sonar the start tempo and the tempo where you want to increase/decrease too.
2. I have both Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 and Native Instrument Komplete 6 (which contains Kontakt 4). Both of them have very good orchestral sounds, but GPO has a very inaccessible gui, Phil replied: if you're using Garritan_Personal_Orchestra_4.02and then, you can click on the dash cymbal in the plug-in Window with you're jaws cursor and load up various banks/sounds. Haipeng wrote: for Kontakt I don't know, Phil replied: don't use that here so, can't comment on it. Haipeng wrote: perhaps the same. but can I use midi keyboard and/or Sonar to choose their instruments instead? What sampling packages do you use? Phil replied: use Superior Drummer here for drums and SFZ for samples.
