hey
i want to set up some softsynths in cakewalk..
i currently run cakewalk 8, and i want to seet up some good softsynths through it..
basically, whats good? what direct x plugins are good, and im looking for something pro level. is 8 any good for this?
i klnow sonar, the new cakewalk, is dedicated to this, and includes two existing packages with it, one of thems called Tassman.. is this any good?
also, does anyone have ny good specs on this, ie: what timbrality can you get from it, etc.
cheers |

I think that you need to use at least version 9 to get any good results, and maybe older versions don't support new plugins, dunno.
Anyway, why use Cakewalk? I'm moving to Logic as soon as I can. |

pro audio 8 do not support DXi's... so try the 9 version or Sonar for this. |

IMO, move to Sonar ASAP (cakewalk 8 and 9 aren't advanced enough), then download a VST-DX coverter (meaning you'll be able to run VSTi under DX shell) such as:

(This is a trial version for 30 days)
Regarding Tassman, it's a nifty little DXi with all kinds of nice features. For further details:

thanx..
but im using cakewalk cos i like cakewalk
im trying to find the best combo here, most people go for either software opr hardwar option, i already use hardware and i wanna support it with software..
also, are does anyone know of any good stand alone packages for the pc, that can be run through directx as a plugin? any that are worthwhile if i get sonar, given that this already has several packages with it? |

try: www.thedirectxfiles.com
and decide what you want..but i'd go for sonar.the same interface, more possibilities, more stability.
i've tried cakewalk in this order:
cubase[cool!]->logic audio[wow!!!]->cakewalk[hmm dull.]
but sonar seems promissing anyway :).
btw. Tassman is a great synth, not a little CPU eater, but sound is great.
BOM, majesy.
