Gord, have thought about it. However, from what I have read on this, the v64, doesn't have a brickwall limiter built into it. So, I would still probably have to use it, with everything turned off on Final plug, a part from the brickwall limiter. Will need to look at the V64 some more though, as my initial thoughts are that it's a killer compressor. In a league of it's own. Also, the songs on Translator's website, were mixed back in August, and I didn't have Sonar 6 then. Finally, I think you can only use the version of the V64 that ships with Sonar 6, in Sonar 6.
