From: eyesnears on 22 Jun 2010 23:07 I've been using home studio 2004 for quite a while. I'm happy with it for the most part but want to do more mastering. I record mostly acoustic instruments but sometimes like to add some samples or midi, like drums, and I'm not too that thrilled with what 04 offers. I also use many VST plugins so i'm not sure if the effects that the newer version come with are of any value. Does anyone have an opinion whether i should get home studio 7 or Sonar? I'm willing to pay more for Sonar if it does something i need. Again, the key is mastering. I have not really delved into it and my recording can use some 'polish' thanks

Close the Snapshots window and you still can use the manual EQ nodes to further adjust the EQ. Maybe I need some coffee >g? Poly

Boost 11 can come in handy in other apps too. Saved me time improving the voice track on my niece's sweet 16 vid in Vegas. -- romana(a)gallifrey.kasterborus

Thanks, Poly. Your very welcome! After all the wealth of info I've gotten from you over the years it's nice to be able to give something back :) Poly

Ozone is a bit steep $$. Har-Bal is about $90. From what i read Har-bal is a bit easier to use. |
