Very nice, Bjorn. I enjoyed listening. I loved the beginning and would have liked to hear more of that somewhere else in the piece. I enjoy and create space music as well. Starbirth Music

Great callout Pluto.

I am running windows 11 on an x64 PC. I have a problem with staff view. I just installed the new bandlab sonar, opening the staff view crashes Sonar. The 12MB dump files are too big to attach and I'm not sure anyone here would be able to look at them. Today: I uninstalled the old Cakewalk by Bandlab. I installed cakewalk's music creator 6 touch I bought years ago. It too crashed on staff view, a problem fixed by starting as admin and setting scaling to be managed by the application. Staff view doesn't crash but it still doesn't work. I get a blank area where the staff should be. The buttons and toolbars are all there and clickable, but nothing happens. I also have installed a very old cakewalk pro 9. This also has a blank staff view. This seems to be a very old problem and may be related to fonts. I found this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/378021 I don't have a font manager installed how many fonts is too many? I cannot remove or rename symbol.ttf since it is a protected system font. Does anyone have this part of the software working?

FYI. You can get the Softube Bad Speaker for free by signing up for the newsletter on the Softube website. So pick one of the other ones. https://www.softube.com/free-plug-ins

Larry T: Thanks for listening and commenting. Xoo: What you commented on is exactly what I was thinking. The 1st third or so is pretty good (IMO) but after that I couldn't get it to transition into something more than just acceptable. After numerous versions and getting real tired of working on it, I declared it done (for now).

Take a quick spectrogram comparison between the live mic setups and the TH3 bounces, it sounds like there is significantly more high end from TH3 (artificial content) than the live mic captures. An EQ matching algorithm can sometimes assist with a post-FX-chain EQ, but they are definitely useful to visualize the frequency differences (the curve required to get the "match"). I suspect that what you are seeing may be more than just the mic shift, but the fact that TH3 is exposing and processing more harmonic content than the live setup does. I have not used TH3 in a while but thought that had more control over mic placement and orientation, but I may be confusing that with another sim.

Should that be 1, 3 and 5? I don't recall seeing a Buy 2 Pay X offer.

Yeah. Probably should have just let is remain a acoustic guitar piece as it was originally intended. Thanks Bjorn for the listen.

I could never get National scoring strings to sound anything usable. Something is really weird about their sample release.

Hello, fellow Bakers! We apologize for the delay in sharing our next Bi-Weekly Update, which we plan to release soon (trust us, it will be packed with good news!). In the meantime, we would like to highlight our recent work on the Cakewalk Product Center, which you may have noticed has a brand-new look and feel. The latest update, version 1.1.0.004, allows Sonar users to download and install Early Access builds. This option lets you test upcoming features before their official release. We believe in allowing all users to experience these new features firsthand, ensuring transparency in our development process. Even free users can access these Early Access builds. We would love to hear your feedback! Additionally, we have introduced a Rollback feature (MEM users only) that allows you to revert to an older Sonar or Next build if you encounter any issues with the latest version while working on your projects. As always, our support team is available to assist you. You can reach out to us through our request form here: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Thank you for your continued support! P.S If you're on version 0.96, you should be prompted to update to 1.1.0.004 once you open CPC

It to me is sort of unexpected behaviour but when it happens it tells me I have that track open in the PRV.

Hey thanks for looking into this. So I never ended up reverting to an earlier version and did some troubleshooting. 1. I thought it had something to do with ASIO buffer settings and swapped between 1024 and 128 and there was no change. 2. I took a good look at the plugins that I normally didn’t use in my template and saw I had a UAD reverb (Capital - next drum reverb ever ). I disabled it and then re-enable it. No change. 3. Puttered around for a bit before taking a break and rebooting - and then everything worked normally. Strange, eh ? I meant to update this thread and didn’t get to it but I thank you for looking into it !

I recorded direct and reamped. I sent the same signal to both thu and the amp. I used a passive reamp box i soldered from a kit. The amp sounded great. Then I just had to match it. I adjusted gain in. I adjusted adjusted knobs for a long time. I think i made a video of it.

I know that the Saffire Pro 40 works with Sonar in Windows 10 and 11 because I have two of them myself, using a Texas Instruments PCIe card. You must use the driver as downloaded from Focusrite's website.

Unfortunately no little pill. I suspect as I no longer have certain requirements on my time that were actually quite tiring and stressful, i.e. visiting my partner, also no longer having a dog, (which I really do miss), mean I have more time to play with my toys. I am also feeling stronger it is now 10 months since the surgery, though I probably have another 2 to 4 months before I am completely over the experience. The toys are also helping, making use of the supplied grooves, in both EZBass and Superior Drummer, definitely not how intended though that would be way to easy, is a cool learning experience. Thanks for your ears, time and kind words, they really are appreciated in many ways.

Mike Greene had sent out a couple of emails regarding this library recently, but I haven't seen it posted here that I could find. There are two variants to this, the Ultimate (113GB) and the Lite (18GB), with the comparison differences near the bottom of either page. Currently on sale for $399 and $199 respectively (versus $599 and $299). His emails detailed a lot of the setup and production, but the synopsis on the pages is simpler to read! He did a lot of work on this to get as many vocal articulations (300) from the Ensemble as he could (very bottom of either page, with 4 tabs to gander through), and took 3 years to finish (there are top/bottom layers possible for each patch). Pretty thorough review below (and a much better walk through of what I said above in the first few minutes).

So this was the exact same setup with the only difference being the amp versus the modeler? That reminded me of another consideration with modelers (though doesn't seem to be a factor here), which is the signal in. It is far easier (and more successful) to remove content than to add non-existing content in, so pickups that output the cleanest set of harmonic content (the more, the better) will have the best chance to mimic any tone. However, having said that, DSP can enhance (in a bad way) those harmonics in a way that analog circuits cannot, which is why using a LPF/EQ to tame that input signal prior to modelers/amp sims is common practice (or put those first in the modeler/amp sim FX chain). As the entire frequency spectrum is being worked with, many analog components do not have a high response rate to exacerbate harmonics in the way that DSP can.
