Greetings All,
In Cakewalk's Sonar, one could add an editor like RX or SoundForge to the Tools drop-down menu via a few lines in the Windows Registry.
This allowed you to select a clip (or full track) in Sonar and port it over to RX for editing. (RX would auto-launch and open the file all with one click.)
When editing in RX was finished, saving the file and closing RX prompted Sonar to ask: 'the file has changed, import new file?' and selecting 'Yes' re-imported the edited file back into it's track in Sonar.
It worked like magic, was darn-near seemless, and was a great way to share a file out to a better editor like RX Advanced.
Is that possible in Studio One Pro?
I've already seen the 'Expert' video where he uses the RX Monitor plugin, but
honestly... that is a bit of a kluge compared to the process above.
Thanks,
(Long Time Cakewalk User)

Nothing that I know of, but that does sound sweet. Lets see if I can get some of the smart kids in here to see such a hack is possible.

Thanks Matt.
Yes sweet it was, and it was as though the two were ARA integrated like SOP with Melodyne and Vocalign...
I can dig up the instructions to alter the registry if anyone is interested.
I originally saw it posted by Scott Garrigus (AKA: DigiFreq) who wrote books on Cakewalk, and someone else had added a line ot two after that.
I'll miss those brainiacs, but maybe there are a few hanging here, eh?
Thanks again.

You could maybe do something - similar - in Studio One, but not via the registry and file sharing will likely come into play. I'll explain...
- You could add a new menu and function via the scripting interface.
- You could make that function launch any third party application like an audio editor.
- You could probably (I'm 90% sure) somehow also get the source file name and path of the selected clip to pass to the editor to also load when you launch it.
The problem is with file sharing, whether or not you could save that edited file while it's still open in Studio One. I don't believe that can happen without some underlying process allowing it.

This would be awesome as the RX are doing wonders on vocal for me !!

Thanks for the input Lawrence. I'll take a look at that scripting.
I've read somewhere that the file sharing is not as flexible in SOP.
Maybe iZotope will take a good long look at ARA and some form of RX Editor via ARA is in our future. Then we can all live blissfully ever after...!!
And yes Klypeman - it was truly THE way to work, as RX just keeps getting better...
The RX Monitor did not work so well in Sonar, as it's designed for Protools, but one did not need it once RX was added to the Tools menu.
It was killer.

That sounds like a great workflow. I've been trying to achieve something like this through macros, but this would be so much better. Especially the re-importing sounds wonderful. If this whole process were more convenien, I'd use external editors 100 times per day instead of just a handful.
Could you have more than one editor in this menu in Sonar, f.i. both RX and Wavelab?

Yes - I had Sony's Sound Forge loaded before I got RX, then I updated Sound Forge to Pro, and it was WONDERFUL having both SFP and RX in Sonar's 'TOOLS' drop-down menu.
I'm not holding my breath for some form of integration with SOP, but IF the programmers were to reach out to iZotope, having that feature would put them LIGHT YEARS ahead of other DAWs...

Thanks for answering!
It kind of reminds me of how I used to use the feature 'Use External Waveform Editor' when I started out with good old Digital Performer. Don't think it would let us link multiple editors, though. Sonar sure had a good thing going. Hope other DAWs take notice!

There is a feature request for integrating an external editor into Studio One. Please everyone, vote it up. I too was a Sonar user and loved accessing Sony Sound Forge in this way.😎
