Mix
• Transcribe and learn parts by isolating any desired instrument within a mix.
• Solo an individual part and analyze it for study; slow down a fast guitar solo, for example, and
learn how to play it.
• Mute or extract specific regions of the visualized sound.
• Add effects only to any specific part of a mix, such as vocals.
• Clean up old recordings and master stereo mixes by adjusting individual instrument levels and
applying noise reduction and effects.
For more information about using R-MIX, see the R-MIX SONAR online Help.
ProChannel enhancements (Producer only)
• ProChannel is now modular and modules can be dynamically added, removed, and reordered.
For details, see “ProChannel (Producer only)” on page 963.
• Routing can be adjusted by moving modules via simple drag and drop. Signal flow is easily
visualized and flows from top to bottom, just like a hardware mixer.
• ProChannel modules can be expanded and collapsed individually, preserving valuable screen
real-estate.
• Scroll ProChannel vertically to easily access all modules. The Console view conveniently remains
in place while scrolling ProChannel.
• Insert multiple instances of ProChannel modules on the same track or bus.
ProChannel Console Emulator module (Producer only)
The Console Emulator module emulates the sound of three classic recording consoles in SONAR's
mixer.
For details, see “Console Emulator module” on page 988.
Note: You can insert multiple instances of external ProChannel modules. However, you can not
insert multiple instances of the internal ProChannel modules, including QuadCurve Equalizer,
Tube Saturation, PC76 U-Type compressor, and PC4K S-Type bus compressor.
