=='''Bussing Tutorial'''==

This is an introduction to why and how to create and use busses in SONAR. I hope somebody finds it useful. ''(The tutorial is also available as a ZIP file containing a Word document and an Excel spreadsheet [http://www.folktas.org/SONARBussingExample.zip here])''. --Geoff Francis

This tutorial aims to illustrate a simple example of how bussing works in SONAR. When you finish it, you will have created a project which includes:

#Three audio tracks – Vocal, Guitar and Other
#One ''Main Output Buss''
#Two auxiliary send busses for reverb and chorus

See the diagram at the end of the tutorial for more details.

You will also need three existing wave files from any earlier project – one vox, one guitar and one other, for importing into this project.

OK, here we go:

#'''Create a new SONAR Project file using Normal template. Display ''Track View''.'''
#'''Delete all tracks and busses from this file.''' We’re going to start from scratch.
#'''To start, let’s create the ''Main Buss Out''.''' This will be used to direct our output to the sound card.
##Right click in the buss pane area, choose ''Insert Stereo Buss''.
##Change its name to ''Main Buss Out''. Direct the output of this buss to your sound card.
#:[[Image:Sonar Bussing 01.jpg]]
#: 
#'''Now go to the track pane, right click on it and choose ''Insert Audio Track''.'''
#:[[Image:Sonar Bussing 02.jpg]]
##Repeat this twice.
##Rename each track so Track 1 is ''Vocal'', Track 2 is ''Guitar'' and Track 3 is ''Other'' (whatever other source you are using).
##Hit CTRL+A to select all tracks, and then from ''Menu'' select ''Tracks'', ''Property'', ''Outputs'' and from the list choose ''Main Buss Out'' then ''OK''.
##Now select Track 1 and select ''File'', ''Import Audio''.
##Select the vocal track and import it.
##Repeat this for Track 2 (Guitar) and Track 3 (Other).
#:
#:You should now be able to play the three tracks back and will see activity in all meters and be able to hear them. Of course you can adjust panning, volume etc to suit.
#: 
#'''Now to create the Reverb Buss.'''
##In buss pane, right click and choose ''Insert Stereo Bus''.
##Rename this ''Reverb Buss''.
##Direct its output to ''Main Buss Out''.
##Insert a reverb plug-in in the FX Bin (right click over the bin to get to the menu to do this):
#:[[Image:Sonar Bussing 03.jpg]]
#: 
#'''Now to create sends for vocal and guitar to send to the Reverb Buss.'''
##Right click in track pane in vocal track area, choose ''Insert Send'' and then ''Reverb Buss''.
##Set ''Send Level for Buss'' to about –10dB. Make sure you enable the buss by setting the little green light on.
##Now play. As you adjust the ''Send Level'', you should find that you can hear the reverb.
##Repeat this for the guitar track.
#: 
#'''Now to create the buss and sends for chorus.''' Here’s your chance to do it yourself!
##Using the same method as steps 5 and 6 above, create a new buss in the buss pane.
##Rename it ''Chorus Buss''.
##Direct its output to your ''Main Buss Out'' and insert a chorus FX plug-in.
#:[[Image:Sonar Bussing 04.jpg]]
#: 
#'''Now add a send to the guitar track (Track 2) and the other track (Track 3)''', in both cases directed to the Chorus Buss. Adjust levels to suit.
#: 
#'''Now have another look at the flow chart. Does it make sense?'''
