Cakewalk Sonar 8 Tutorial 4: Mixing (part 2 of 3)

SONAR 8 - HOW TO CREATE SONGS FROM START TO FINISH

This tutorial is for all comers, new and experienced. I'm an advocate for Sonar, because it is extremely user friendly and you can get everything you need done in one program. Cakewalk support is great as well. Also the Sonar forum is pretty good if you ever get caught in a bind.

The main purpose is to take you through the steps of completing an entire song. If you're in the market for a new DAW and you're considering Sonar, then take a look at this series and it will help you get started.

I am by no means a professional or a teacher, but I figured that I do have something to add since I've been on Sonar for about 3 years. I'm also a pretty good producer, songwriter, and singer. I hope you enjoy.

@kibzboy1000 the vocals and the music are sent to the master. Master goes to your final output...

yoh how u get the auto tune to work on ur sonar? pls reply

[maskerade45]

@NEGJ4LIFE All you have to do is install Autotune on your computer. Run Sonar and it will search for new plugins. Make sure that the two are both installed on the same hard drive.

Once its installed you should find it in your audio plug ins...

Really need someone like you on the team. Smh I be tryna do everything by myself. I produce, I write, I record. But I absolutely FAIL at mixing and mastering. Lmao your tutorials are a huge help though. I just got Sonar so and its way better than adobe audition. Will be subscribing....
