Sonar X1 Producer - Home Studio HD

[100chuckjones]

NOW ALL YOU NEED IS A SINGER,NICE LEAD GUITAR AND RIFFS ARE AWESOME

[weicj]

professional studio! But sonar x1 may be a bit tough to use for beginners

[ksk235]

Dude awesome work. It sounds so professional. Did u record all the guitar takes by Line 6 UX-2? How good is it for recording vocals and other instruments like keyboard???

[EJOpdahl]

I have an xf-fi sound card and do gaming on that as well :) do you run eyefinity on those screens? or nvidia 3d vision? also does the multimix work as a sound card while recording? it records simultaneous tracks right?

Thanks!

[josepherosangela]

os projetos do sonar 8.5 abre no sonar X1?

[msandr01]

this is so sick, and i love your set up too

[DanielleHallett]

@substantiate633 I'm waiting for the Recon3D Fatal1ty to be released, but I won't use it for ASIO, that's what the desk and UX2 are for.

It's going to be a pain to fit as it sits between both GFX cards which are connected by an aqua-bridge.

[DanielleHallett]

@typify19 It's fruit juice made from strawberries, apples and bananas :)

[reservation80]

@nsmadsen me too

[reservation80]

Which vsts would you recommend for a beginner?

[DanielleHallett]

@reservation80 To be honest, you can do almost everything with the stock plugins, "out of the box". So start there and see what you are into :)

[zirokiller00]

@reservation80 When u are Beginning dont ask for plugin recommendation as a beginner ask for pro plug ins recommendation. i would leave that question for gears xD

[newfoundland090]

@substantiate633 hell yeah dude. The Recon 3Ds are beast!

[oakwood758]

damn. looks like to much is going on here for me. I can't multitask to save my life!

[LadyAudio]

[IVAg27]

great job

[nstygatr]

The main reason I use Sonar is for the 64bit compatibility, but that is still buggy..

Thinking on using the Mackie software for tracking and then Sonar for the plugins when I need them. Great stuff just wish I could find a stable DAW without having to save every 2 mins

[SLRPHOTOS]

Yeah liquid is very bad for electronics, always tell my buddies please dont put that on the equipment. hahahah, keep it on the floor.

[MrNocaster1]

Watch drinking stuff around your equipment. I had a new HP laptop and my wife was using it and spilled a glass of iced tea in it. It was instantly toast. Then I had to spend over a grand to replace it so be careful.

[DanielleHallett]

@MrNocaster1 I do, that's why the drink is on a separate shelf to the keyboard :)

[chebameng81]

@DanielleHallett Are you using the same host software on each screen? If so , How did you get the all n sync?

[lossleadas]

@MrNocaster1 one spill kill the thrill

[deadhenderson]

great mix. sounds awesome. i'm not a sonar user. for me, it just feels "crowded". i mostly use ableton, reason and studio one, but you can't deny the quality of the sonar suite. i heard x1 expanded still has stability issues, though. anyway, real good production.

[Sweetassour]

Has anyone made a switch from Cubase 5 to X1? I want to try another daw because I'm tired of crashing and freezing in cubase.

[laxplayer72]

What did u change in the preferences in Sonar X1 to use ur alesis multimix 8?

[robvk6]

Now you just need a nice set of audio monitors...

[DanielleHallett]

@robvk6 I do, you just can't see them in the video. There are a pair of Tannoy M20 Gold MkII's above and out of frame :)

[robvk6]

@DanielleHallett Right on, nice set up...

[raytrayt2001]

To many cables bro, hide them , do something. lol god studio bro.

[DanielleHallett]

@raytrayt2001 That's after I tidied it up for the video :)

[produccionesmiranejo]

Is your name Stephen Cox? That is the name of a teacher I had lol

[DanielleHallett]

@produccionesmiranejo No, my name is Danielle :)

[uglymetarus]

shit mastering. drums almost not hearable. No kick drum at all. Sounds not deep like modern songs.

[igoRajon]

how stably does the Sonar X1 work? I have many problems with hanging, not saving, not opening the project.

[DanielleHallett]

@igoRajon It's *much* better than it used to be, but it still falls over occasionally.

[TheBurdenCarrier]

does the multimix 8 give you 8 different input channels on sonar? I've been looking for a multitrack interface to get my home studio going nad that seems like an affordable solution for me. Thank you in advance.

[DanielleHallett]

@TheBurdenCarrier Sadly no, Sonar just sees it's stereo bus. It's not a big issue for me really, but if it's important then I recommend a "Pro" audio card and perhaps a Mackie VLZ-1202 which gives you 4 busses,

It's also quite a bit higher quality than the Alesis.

I used to use a 1604 when I did more recording, but then I sold everything :)

[Bassmandave2000]

I love that triple monitor setup.Mission Control indeed.

[DanielleHallett]

@Bassmandave2000 Thank you :)

Having a lot of desktop real-estate is useful for many applications and games; I recommend it if you have the room.

[Pvtchrislee07]

is this the latest version

[DanielleHallett]

@Pvtchrislee07 If you mean Sonar, then yes; This is the most recent version of Sonar X1 (formerly Cakewalk).

[DanielleHallett]

@Pvtchrislee07 Yes it is, fully patched etc. with the latest guitar rig too.

[ColdGripHandle]

nice keyboard , can't see what kind it is but it looks good from here

[DanielleHallett]

@ColdGripHandle Thanks :)

It's a Logitech G19, looks pretty, amazing for games, horrible for typing lol

[zinc4life]

i love it to bits, but i dont get why you use logitech speakers instead of studio monitors

peace

[DanielleHallett]

@zinc4life hehe, very good point. The Logitech speakers are for gaming, just out of frame up on the wall are are pair of Tannoy M20 Gold MkII monitors :)

They are old, but they sound great lol

[zinc4life]

@DanielleHallett oh tannoys are amazing :)

[72cpugeek]

real Power !

[WhippJunior]

I've been using the x-fi elite and home studio xl for about a year now with great results. Surprised at how good it works/sounds. Yours sounds great! Nice job!

[DanielleHallett]

@WhippJunior I was really surprised by how well the X-Fi worked actually. All the forums and experts say the Creative cards are no use because of latency etc. but I've found that to be elitist nonsense :)

That said, I do use the Alesis USB desk and UX2 for balanced inputs though curiously I get less noise and latency when I hook up the Alesis to the line in on the X-Fi in ASIO mode instead of using the USB audio path straight from the desk.

[icecoldisaac86]

lol you're very proud of this I see.

But WHO HAVE YOU PRODUCED.

AND WHAT WAS YOUR GROSS PROFIT

IN MONETARY TERMS LAST CALENDAR MONTH.?

[DanielleHallett]

@icecoldisaac86 Who are you and why do you care?

(Also, the Caps Lock button is over on the left of the keyboard, you might want to look for it....)

[icecoldisaac86]

@DanielleHallett I AM THE KING OF CAPSLOCK QUESTIONING.

AND I DEMAND AN ANS-WER SERF. Whom hath you prod-uced.??

and where is your music.?

[DanielleHallett]

@icecoldisaac86 Ok, I'll try to not use any big words which will confuse you, also you might want to get a member of your royal entourage to explain my video to you.

"Sonar Producer" is not a job title, it's the name of a piece of software (the one in the video). The title also says "Home Studio"; It's a hobby, not what I do for a living.

I hope that wasn't too complex for you to understand :)

[CelticProgeny]

@icecoldisaac86 - you're either nosy or jealous or you work for the tax office :)

[1175ghost]

goood

[DanielleHallett]

@1175ghost I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[daddywaytooloud]

Great setup - great music. 

[DanielleHallett]

@daddywaytooloud Thanks :)
