i have Sonar and i run everything thru mixer into Sonar so do i need to use a preamp for my mics or is it ok to just use the plugins, i have mic/preamps but i want to record live drums but I'm just wondering if its ok to just run everything into Sonar and eq/compress add reverb later?

Well I've been using Sonar 4 PE for about a month now, and i recently installed a few plugins and now Sonar won't start. I get the SONAR splash screen and than nothing. The midi I/O activity icon appears in my clocktry, but no Sonar project window. I've done the 4.1 update but i didn't get the new update yet. I wouldn't think that i would HAVE to get an update in order for it to work.

In the market for recording software, but don't want to pay the bucks for Producer Edition. I have read through the product description and several reviews of the software. Does the SE version have the ability to compress the recording of vocals or other instruments? The other PE-only features would be of little value to me.

Hello! As you can see this is my first time here. From the looks of the threads I have been looking over, this will hopefully be my new audio forum home. I used to frequent audioforums.com, but after a few months break, I returned to find the forums almost empty! anyways...
