  • CakeWalk FX3 ("SoundStage") is a DirectX plugin that can be used in most PC sequencers, like Logic, CakeWalk, Cubase VST & SX. (in the audio part). Can also be used in applications commonly used for mixing only (Vegas) and mastering (Wavelab, SoundForge, etc).

    GigaStudio does not support DirectX plugins.

    I can use SoundStage "live" on input signals coming into Logic from Giga PC's. No problem to run a few separate instances simultaneously. Does require a fairly "serious" setup though...

    hej Peter
    I've been trying to do that with to my Sonar - but with no luck.
    I can't stream directly from my Giga PC into the Sonar and apply
    fx's live, so now I'm very curious:
    How do you do it? Please enlighten me

  • Logic simply has special audio objects for this, that you can add into your audio mixer window. I have 3 Adat inputs, so I have setup 12 stereo inputs in total (4 per light pipe input). These input channels can have inserts as well as sends to any busses.
    The moment I arm an audio TRACK the corresponding INPUT channel is disabled (that is, its output and FX sends are muted - although I believe that its inserts are still applied).

    I recently purchased Cubase SX (crossgrade) and have set up a similar mixer, so it can be done with SX as well. Maybe Sonar users can jump in here to say if Sonar in principle has the same feature.

    SoundStage can be used as an insert on a stereo input channel, or as an insert on a dedicated bus, in which case you'd have to set it to 100% wet (to avoid any risk of phasing and comb-filtering due to any plugin delay).

    Hope this illustrates the approach a bit. BTW, I think this is a great approach for working with both Midi and Audio on the same time-line. Can't imagine that using an external multi-track app like Vegas can deliver the same syncing and project management.

  • Hi Peter
    Thanks - I don't know if there is a similar functionality in Sonar but
    I'll try and experiment.
