Thanks Mike! Been using cakewalk for the last year and a half and never realized there was a convolution reverb on the pro channel! Learn something new with all your videos.
I like the console module. It's a very subtle effect, but it you put it on every channel it adds a ton of depth to the mix, and gives it a much more organic sound.
This series is so amazing. Been using Cakewalk since the mid 90’s. Bought Sonar Platinum for $500 just before they folded. I learned a lot here and am working my way through all your videos.
Thank you so much Mike! This is so helpful. I agree the Quadracurve EQ is about the most useful module out of all of them on the pro channel. Love this power tool.
Great Mike! I never tried the reverb module because of its appearance ( I know.. ). But after watching this video I gave it a shot. I have a very picky wife when it comes to reverb. I found a preset, added it to the track and it was perfect. This is a full-on time saver for me...thank you!!
Thankyou for another great run through I moved from sonar 3 to bandlab so I have been following all your helpfully series on the use of bandlab the move is overwhelming but you have been great Dr Jive
Nice explanation. I've just been at Cakewalk a few months, discovered how handy the ProChannel is already but still learnt something today. I like how one can add effects at different parts like track viewer, ProChannel, Bus, and find it very handy. I try to have some priorities in applying effects so I don't go adding them all over the place and ending up with a mess when I can't figure out where some effect is coming from 😆 Thanks 😎
In order to crate a "signature" sounding deck, my pro channel signal chain is always: API console simulation Drive - just a touch for a bit of warmth Compressor - as a finishing touch on gain staging EQ - mostly for hi/lo pass but additional fine tuning as well. Gloss enabled depending on the instrument This is my foundation for every track, again, for the purpose of establishing a common signature. I rarely use reverb in the pro channel workflow unless I'm specifically looking to subtly emulate room mic input effect. Pretty much keep all FX to busses. Longtime Cakewalk Sonar Producer user
Nice explanation of the ProChannel features. I was hoping to get ahold of the Lexicon impulse responses but as far as I can tell your link doesn't work. Back in the day (Sonar 3 or Sonar 5) Lexicon reverb used to be part of the cakewalk Sonar package and I miss it!
Can't find it either, been looking for it for a while. Seems when Cakewalk was still called Sonar, it used to come with it. Now us newer people can't access it, they don't have permission to carry it anymore.
Hi Mike I clicked on the link to the Lexicon download, however the page would not open. Am I doing it wrong or is there a fault in the link? PS - thanks for putting all these videos up, they are immensely helpful to me.
The waveform doesn't changes when we apply plugins like compressor etc on the track but it is not the same case in many other DAWs Is there any settings to fix this ?
Honestly, that's the biggest thing that keeps me from using it. It's not a bad EQ at all, but I don't like all the extra clicking I have to do to get to it. I would add that feature, plus a separate view with all the EQ nobs for each channel like a console strip, which would make everything so much faster!
I had the same problem: click on the arrow at the side to make the Strip greater - than click in the eq Diagram. Now you get the Window with the analyzing etc

Thank you! Also for coining the term "Cakework", I'ma gonna borrow that 🙂
I like the console module. It's a very subtle effect, but it you put it on every channel it adds a ton of depth to the mix, and gives it a much more organic sound.
I tried it often - and a week later - if i put off this effect, it sounds much better.

Great feature review Mike - nice segue into the sponsor advert ;-) As always the highlight was hearing Suzi's voice 🙂
:)
Breverb is great, is my favorite module. All Pro Channel modules are excellent

Finally! I have been waiting for someone to do a video like this.

What exactly does the Gloss function do? I don't notice any difference in my "untrained" ears, lol.
@@jeremiahpeterson7490 it adds a subtle sheen. It is definitely there, but not super apparent.
Do you have any material you'd like to share a link for?
@@keithferris9574 ahhh, ok. Thanks for the reply!
@@keithferris9574 working towards significant drop by end of the year - I'll definitely be sharing
I like the gate one knob on my kick
The "Early" IR set are so named as they are IR models that contain early reflections.
Thanks Mike, very, very useful as always, several things I hadn't previously discovered!!!
Thanks again, Mike, for another fantastic upload.
Thanks Mike! I've learned so much from this channel.
Nice one Mike cheers again!
Wow.. I need to try out some of those modules haha nice video👍

Hello to everybody from 🇩🇪
Thanks!
Thanks Sean, much appreciated :)
Hi mike, yes I'm well
Awesome!
come on Mike, show some loves for StyleDial, damn it
it's like Waves' OneKnob, but not as bad nor as good, it's a 3.6
Great video!Thanks !
When did they add the Rematrix Solo module? I wasn't aware of it yet. Thanks for pointing out!
Nice! i love the EQ! Btw does anyone know where i can find the CA 2A as a plugin? or did it get lost in the new Cakewalk?
Can't find it either, been looking for it for a while. Seems when Cakewalk was still called Sonar, it used to come with it. Now us newer people can't access it, they don't have permission to carry it anymore.
Make a custom theme your a guru would be excellent 👍

I don´t understand why I can´t open up the big EQ by one click on EQ-diagram (EQ-window) in console view? Why do they don´t allow that?

Hey!
Hey MC!
Mike, I don't seem to have Rematrix Solo in my Cakewalk. How do I access it?
When selecting Insert Module look between Panipulator and Saturation Knob
Thanks, found it. Don't know why I didn't see it before.
