Sonar Home Studio 7 Cakewalk I was looking for an auto tune effect, not to pitch correct but to add that flangy sound to a vox track I thought I could just do it with a flange effect, but I cannot access the default flange in Sonar 7. the flange shows in menu, but no window pops up, the effects b...

There is no "auto-tune" in Sonar/Cakewalk.

The flanger you've highlighted does seem to be DOA. Skip it and continue down the list to "Cakewalk > Flanger…" and it will open.

Just below 'Cakewalk' is 'Sonitusfx' so you already have those too, tho I don't see a flanger there.

To install plugins (dll files), just place them in the Cakewalk VST folder and run a scan to pick them up.

To install plugins (exe files), just double click the file and run the installer.

Also, the "Process" menu will 'permanently apply the effect to the audio clip. It may be better to add the flanger to the FX bin first so you can play with the settings nondestructively. Once you've settled on the right settings then you can "process" it if you want.

The latest, free version of Cakewalk includes the Sonitus plugins. You can install this side by side with your current version to try it out. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&amp;language=3&amp;help=Plug-ins.1.html

Any plugins installed by the latest Cakewalk should then be available to Home Studio, and vice versa.

Cakewalk by BandLab will not replace Home Studio, but is a more feature rich, much more up to date version of Sonar, including all of the core functionality of the last Sonar Platinum version. Plus it is currently supported and updated by the BandLab team.

thanks for the reply, but as I stated above I'm not looking to upgrade now...and I already have the Sonitus plugin ...again I'm not sure how to install it, which I was also asking about. If you could tell me how to even istall it that would be helpful...thanks

thanks for all the input. I think there was no flange in cakewalk either, but I will check again.

Also thanks for the info on how to install, I found my original manual, and it doesn't say anywhere in there how to do it.

I also downloaded a couple of phone apps that do the auto tune effect perfect, I am going to play around with those as well, then just import the audio into sonar.
