I'm not interested in upgrading to Sonar 8.5, but is there a way I can get
that plug without  upgrading?


May the peace  of God which passes all understanding gard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus.

God bless you!

Good suggestion, except he should be using the VX channel strip, not the
multiband compressor. The multiband compressor is a great tool, but it has
way too many settings for someone that doesn't know what they're doing to
affectively use it. Most of the time, also, it is overkill to use it on
anything except imported stems, sub-mixes, and the master bus.

The VX already has a mountain of presets for all sorts of vocal styles.
Plus, the other things it does (like de-essing and EQ), will probably help
his vocal sound better, also.

If you have no idea how to mix good vocals from scratch, the VX is the tool
that you should use to automatically get as far along as possible.

Kevin,
 
I agree that the compressor is likely going to help you the most. Just apply
the Sonotus multiband compressor to the output bus. Select from the various
presets and listen until you find one you like. I suggest setting a loop
that contains both a soft and loud passage, and keep repeating it while you
change the presets.

        I don't know how to automate it.  I thought I had some automation
that  I could remove. but I can't find any in the event list.  
        There's no way I can find the exact place where the voice volume
decreases and create the kind of automation event that would directly
compensate for that.  
        I tried Normalizing without luck.  Wouldn't know how to use a
compressor for this.
        Advice?
        Kevin

                Automation or compression?

                You don't understand.  The volume is not consistent through
the track.  I have different volume levels through the track and I need the
volume of this vocal to stay the same.  Moving the gain is not the way to
go.

                        Use the gain feature in sonar I use it all the time
and its very useful.

                        Guys,

                            I have a comp vocal track that I made from two
other tracks.  I did it by choosing one track and moving the slices I needed
from the other to that track.  Then I bounced the finished track to a new
track.  I notice that there are some volume irregularities where the volume
pulls back.  I don't see any automation that I can strip out.  I tried
normalizing the comp track and didn't notice any change.  What can I do in
Sonar, I don't own Sound Forge, to make the volume of this track uniform
throughout?  

                        Kevin
