Roland Recording Class – STUDIO-CAPTURE

On June 11, at 3:00 p.m. PST Roland clinician and recording artist, Brandon Ryan, and Guitar Center invite you to sit in the Roland recording class. Portable recording solutions for singer-songwriters and live recording using the latest Roland gear are both on the agenda. Topics will include everything from monitoring and mixing, to connecting mics and instruments to the I/O, to production techniques that even novices can master using SONAR’s fast and fluid ProChannel.

Portable Roland Recording…

For the portable recording portion of this webinar, singer-songwriter Sarah Vee will use the DUO-CAPTURE EX with an iPad running Garageband to record a song. See how the tablet feature turns her iPad into a professional recording device.

Live Roland Recording…

For the studio-recording portion, Brandon will demonstrate the power of the STUDIO-CAPTURE. He’ll demonstrate how to plug in a full band, with a full band, live in the studio, including keys, drums, guitar, bass, and singers for recording. In addition to capturing audio, he’ll demonstrate how the STUDIO-CAPTURE handles headphone monitor mixes for individual players. With all of this gear plugged in, this is the perfect opportunity to find out just how good the AUTO-SENSE feature really is. If you’re a skeptic, here’s your chance to find out and ask questions.

Mixing…

SONAR X2 will then be used to bring this band’s freshly recorded music to life during the mixing session. In addition to showing how SONAR X2 can handle recording 15 tracks at the same time, a quick overview of this powerful DAW will be provided. The mixing section of the webinar is also a great opportunity to learn the extent of SONAR X2′s touch-screen feature. You’ll be able to get a sense for the nostalgic, yet futuristic feeling of interacting with a mixing board on a flat screen surface.

About the Band…

SouLiance describes their band as rock and soul with a funk edge. This young four-piece band is made up of three gals and a guy. If you’re wondering about their musical chops, they’ve got them. They are all highly trained musicians that have attended reputable schools such as Berklee, Musicians Institute and the LA Music Academy. Not only are they highly trained, but they also come from musical families. (Bassist Sarah Acosta’s father is Grammy award-winning guitarist Al Petteway.)

Members:

Sarah Vee: Lead Vocals / Guitar
Sarah Acosta: Background Vocals / Bass Guitar
Caitlin Moss: Drums / Percussion
Joe Quattrocchi: Piano / Clavi

With so much talent and powerful gear, what will stand out the most? Could the gear carry the band or the band carry the gear? You can make the call when you join us.

See What’s New In SONAR X2 Producer

Robin Kelly [Roland US] — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:51:04 +0000

Take an in-depth tour of the powerful features of SONAR X2 Producer including R-MIX SONAR, Console Emulation, Matrix, BREVERB and Take Lanes.

Cakewalk recently released SONAR X2a, an update adding touch support and other improvements to this already impressive DAW. Brandon Ryan and Seth Perlstein gave a live demonstration of SONAR X2 a few weeks before it was released last fall. This 1.5 hour demonstration is packed with useful tips, tricks and feature explanations. Whether you already own SONAR X2 or are looking to add this powerful DAW to your studio, this video is a must watch.

R-MIX SONAR

This manipulation plugin is powered by Roland’s newly developed V-Remastering technology in conjunction with VariPhrase. It lets you see the components of a stereo mix as color-coded clouds of energy and harmonic matter as the track plays. Some musicians have described it as “visual sound.”

Console Emulator

This plug-in emulates some important analog console characteristics. While these effects are subtle, they’re noticeable; and now thanks to the Console Emulator, they’re controllable as well.

BREVERB

This is a high quality reverberation plug-in modeled on the most acclaimed hardware classics and is the ultimate solution to any recording, mixing and live situation. It comprises four different algorithms, Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse, each one accurately modeled and engineered with no compromises in sound quality, as well as a global EQ section.

Take Lanes

The ability to loop, record and then edit multiple takes is nothing new. What is new with Take Lanes is the ability to set independent Edit Filter views for each of the lanes. This might seem insignificant at first, but when you think about it, this opens up a world of possibilities.
