They are hidden in Sonar and in some versions of Cakewalk. But they are great for drums and vocals and specifically designed for them. There are also a few more that are great for other things, but the vocal and drums plugins I can see using on every mix. (I have close to 1,000 VSTS by Waves, Izotope, IK Multimedia, you name it, and these two are very, very useful additionals to the signal chain mix, with phenomenal presets.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNX2TzX4nAs Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) PX-64 Percussion Strip.jpg (141.66 KB, 95 downloads) VX Vocal Strip.jpg (147.06 KB, 95 downloads) David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

I don;t have the Bandlab version so I don't have those.... but the old Sonar X1 has some pretty useable fx that simply get the job done. One of these days maybe I will upgrade my gear to the 64 bit platform and get Bandlab. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

They were in Sonar first. (But they are x64).

I have loaded CWBL on a laptop but never completed the install yet. So, I might have them in that version ..... just haven't finished the install.

CbB is so far past X1 it is unreal. Last edited by Byron Dickens; 08/09/22 07:50 AM. Byron Dickens BIAB. CbB. Mixbus 32C 8 HP Envy. Intel core i7. 16GB RAM W10. Focusrite Scarlett 18i 20.

Way past time to upgrade. CbB is so far past X1 it is unreal. I absolutely understand that. For me, X1 32bit running on XP Pro 32 is rock solid and it gets it done like I want and need. At some point, yep, I will upgrade to 64 bit and I'll most likely have to repurchase all of my favorite plugs and FX and synths or use J-bridge to continue using the 32 bit versions. One of these days, I will do that. That day is not today. And tomorrow isn't looking good either. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
