Are they going to last in the market, or just disappear like Minidisc and so forth. But just not sure if it can handle multile surround AC-3 tracks.Īlso just quickly. What about if I just produce a video DVD, and place no video on the project, and just audio. I didnt know there were dedicated DVD-A (DVD- Audio) players? And the discs being different from standard DVD. Whem Minnetonka's $99 discWelder Bronze becomes available next month, I suspect we'll finally learn a lot more about the AOB structure than is currently known! At that point, perhaps the author of IfoEdit will be able to modify his utilities to allow for proper AOB creation with any supported channel/sample/bit-depth combinations.īut its 7am in the morning in Sydney, and im at work at the end of my graveyard shift). Can it be as easy as bouncing down to a surround track in Sonar 6 (not sure of the process or format eg ac-3, but Sonar can do this, yeah?) and then using a program like Nero to get it to DVD.? Am I correct here? What other authoring programs may be able to burn a DVD with a surround audio file that Sonar has created? (sorry if this is not making sense. Also alot of people mention but its way out of my price range for what it does. The stuff that I have been reading is actually pretty old.

I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well it works, but if you'd like more information and a free download, you can check it out at: A nice musician and programmer by the name of Mikkel Elmholdt was kind enough to create a free MP3 encoder for use with Sonar.
What about if you didn't upgrade and you don't own a copy of Pro Audio 9? Not to worry. When the Installation Complete dialog box appears, click Finish. Remove your Sonar 2 CD, and insert your Pro Audio 9 CD. In the MP3 Encoder Upgrader dialog box, choose the 'I own a version of Pro Audio 9' option. If you upgraded to Sonar from Pro Audio 9 (which came with the full encoder), you can upgrade your Sonar MP3 encoder to the full version for free. But there is a way that some users can still get MP3 encoding for free.
Instead of inflating the price of Sonar for all customers (not everyone needs MP3 encoding), Cakewalk decided to offer the encoder as an option. You can find more information on this subject at: These companies hold various patents related to MP3.
Why? Because in order to provide MP3 encoding in their software, Cakewalk must pay a license fee to Fraunhofer IIS-A and Thomson Multimedia. The fact is that today, most companies take this same approach. Most people get upset by this, or simply don't understand the reasoning behind it. For unlimited access to the Sonar 2 MP3 encoder, users have to pay an extra $29. When Sonar 2 users decide to export a project as an MP3 file, they may be surprised by the fact that there is a 30-day limit on MP3 encoding. ** Visit DigiFreq for more great music technology tips & techniques: There are 6 viewer comments posted to this page - ReadĭFreqTIP - Encode Your Sonar MP3s for Free!Ĭopyright 2002 by Scott R.
