Change the input setting if you want to use the line inputs to record in mono. Click on the little triangle on the right side of the track Input box to see the list of all the PatchMix DSP inputs. The Sonar Project Window Track Record Enable Track Input Meters Input Output (Master is routed to ASIO 31/32) Click the Vertical Zoom to Enlarge the Tracks E-MU 1212m/1820/1820m PCI Digital Audio System 21 Tutorials Cakewalk Sonar LE 6. Press the Track Record Enable button for the Track that you want to use. The track turns a dull red color to indicate that it is record-enabled. You should now see activity on the Track Input Meter when feeding a signal into the Digital Audio System. · If you don't see meter activity on the track, try record enabling all the other tracks to see if any of the meters move (you may have record enabled the wrong track). If you still don't see meter activity, open PatchMix DSP to verify meter activity on the input channel. Next, make sure the input channel on PatchMix matches your Track Input in Sonar LE. still can't get a proper level, open the PatchMix DSP, Session Settings and click I/O. f Tip: I/O Settings: Input too strong: Use +4 Input too weak: Use -10 7. If your input signal is either too weak or too strong, adjust your input source. The audio from Sonar comes back into PatchMix on the ASIO Out 31/32 Strip. If you want to dump the track and start over, Right-click over the waveform display in the track and choose Delete. Record Another Track 13. Click on the Restore Strip Size icon to make the track parameters visible. 16. Now you have to connect an input to the Track. Click on the little triangle on the right side of the track Input box. (If you wish to record multiple tracks simultaneously, simply turn Record Enable on for each track you wish to record. ) 17. Again, set up the track to be either mono or stereo, then choose the Track Input routing. The input can be the same one you used for the first track or you can choose a different input. Hot Tip: A quick way to record additional tracks using the same input is to simply drag the Part (audio region) you just recorded up or down to another track in the Sonar Project Window, then just hit Record again and go. (Choose "Slide Over Old to Make Room" when asked in the Drag & Drop Options. ) 22 Creative Professional Tutorials Cakewalk Sonar LE Save your Project 18. Choose a name and location that will make the project easy to find later. [. . . ] A reverb effect has been inserted into Aux bus 2 before the Send to the headphone out. These three strips are being submixed to Aux Bus 2 which feeds output 2L/2R. The strips are all muted and the output of Aux 2 is turned all the way down to block the audio from the main output. To Create a Headphone Submix: 1. Create Pre-fader strips for the inputs you want to feed the headphone submix. (Otherwise the Mute button will mute the Aux Send. ) 2. Turn up the Aux Sends (for this example we'll use Aux 2) on the strips feeding the headphone submix and mute the channel outputs as shown above. 3. [. . . ]
