thanks Nick.
don't like the dither in Sonar, or is there another reason?
Carlo,
The Powr3 in Sonar is probably one of the best.
I did a mix exercise at prosoundweb.com. They do these once a month and talk big about what they use. So.....
I did the mix in a completely "free" environment. I used the evaluation Reaper DAW and all free plugs. Reaper doesn't have dither, so on mixdown, I needed to drop it from 24 to 16 bit.
I was just curious what kind of mix I could do with all free vst's and Reaper and not tell them until the remarks came in.
