Update to Total Studio 5 Max and bought Pluralis from United Plugins...to get EW Voices of Passion for free

DR-008 was awesome. I used it a lot way back when. Had to give up on it as time moved on. I use NI Battery now. 127 velocity layers per cell, plus all the built-in processing available leaves DR-008 in the dust. I don't miss it anymore.

Boy, its been a while since I used it in SONAR, but selecting "Split Clips" is supposed to delete the silent sections. I thought that deletion also butted them together, but my memory might be flaky. If that actually doesn't work, a dedicated wav editor may be a better choice (just not sure of a good free one with this functionality). This is also default edit behavior in video editors (basically ripple edit based on removing silence from the audio track), which may be another option.

Re. Radiance - is anyone else finding that the rotary controls don't work in the Onyx scheme (you can only change their values by using the numbers)? Pearl theme works fine.

If you use the inbuilt effects, or mainly presets, then Pigments for sure as their effects are way better than Hive. But I really love Hive too and as soon as you use other plugins as effects it really shines. Pigments is more feature rich though..if I had to pick one, I'd go that first based on capability. That said, everything is really accessible and simple for programming Hive on the flipside. Its not a bad problem to have either way, as they're both fun 🤣

I used remove silence to make those clips before I posted. I know of no way to use it to snap all those clips together.

Handy to know Craig. Do you know if anyone else makes an emulation/model that includes it as well? Or if there are good models that sound just as good when adding a tremolo effect, or pedal separately?

Hi! How do you move a bar e.g. 4 bars to a different position, but so that it is in time? I know there is snap and grid...if the file is new, I can set the snap feature to 1/1, then move the file perfectly...but when my recorded file has e.g. four shouts in it, I delete the first, second and fourth one, then use the start and end markers to use the third shout only...then move this short file, using snap no longer works. What am I doing wrong? e.g. xxxxxyxxx This is a recording...I want to use the y part only...I use the start and end of the file and move them closer...so it becomes y only...by getting rid of the xs visually. But then the snap feature no longer works. Wait, I'll use a screenshot. The first recording is fine...is in time, but I decide to use it 4 bars earlier... Then I decide to use the underlined middle part only. I move the left and right edges...then I have the sample I want... but this sample is 4 bars too late so I use snap and move it 4 bars forward, BUT it is no longer in time although the full file before adjusting the edges was.

@Amberwolf What is offset mode? I had a problem with Neural DSP Tom Morello and the wah which sounded distorted...maybe I did the same with offset mode. What does it do and how do you enter it? I just click around and with some misclicks every now and then.

I held back on some things that I wanted but don't have an immediate need for (e.g., updating from Korg Collection 5 -->6, a Roland synth, SY85 emulation from Gospel Musicians, StraightAheadSamples Soprano sax). The things I bought were: Softube Atlantis Chambers ($41). With the extra 25% code, it came down to a price which is *way* lower than I've seen it before. UAD's Ocean Way Studios ($49). I've used the DSP version for years, and the native update has quite a number of new features. Embertone Honky Tonk Harmonica ($29). I'm finding lots of uses for instruments I think of as 'seasonings' to be used sparingly (e.g., Xperimenta's accordians) so I'm looking forward to playing with this. FabFilter Multiband compressor ($129). I had been considering getting Softube's Drawmer or TubeTech MBC, but neither were on sale, and I had a loyalty discount with Fabfilter on top of the 25% BF price. Plus, FF stuff is just ridiculously flexible and their tutorials are great. Plugin Alliance ProAudioDSP DSM V3. ($6 after virtual cash). It got me IK Mixbox (free) - I must be the only person not to have already had a copy. SSL saturator ($8). Bought purely as a means to getting... EW Voices of passion (free). So, $262 USD all in. I feel quite virtuous compared to some of the big spenders on VI-Control, but at this point anything else I buy is really just because I like shiny new things, not because I have anything missing. Toontrack midi packs for SD/EZD might be the exception!

Try the Remove Silence tool. I took all of the samples from an electronic kit by recording them, but used Audition, which allowed them to also be split as clips and saved as discrete files (macros rule). Sonar can remove the silence at least with their embedded tool and will butt them all together for you.

There are a handful of plugins that just had a VST3 wrapper applied to the VST2 version that caused issues when used as VST3 (a lot of posts on the old forum regarding this). GPO 5 is old enough that it may still fall into that category. When the VST3 fails, checking the VST2 version (if available) is always something to check.

It was a relatively light year: Upgrade to Seventh Heaven Pro Softube ENGL Suite MIDI Remap Toontrack MIDI packs EastWest Voices of Passion Animation Station 2.0 Still on the fence between Hive 2 and Pigments but one of them will be mine this week.

I have a lot of pianos but not Ivory. The first order of business woul be to determine whether the problem is related to processing or to streaming samples from disk. What are you seeing in Sonar's Performance meter? Does it show high load across the board, spiking only one or a few cores with a lot Late Buffers or is the disk icon flashing red? Have you done any tweaks to Sonar's Config File (AUD.INI)? If so, you might try Resetting it to see if it runs better with the default setup.

I seem to get a response when I use VST2 plug ins. So I am going to work with that for a while. Thank you so much for your help.

Have you tried to attach it to the WAH FX in Guitar Rig? Mine works great there.

These are a lot of do this, then try that. And while I appreciate it, I'm really asking if there was a way to snap all of those end to end....lasso and snap without a bunch of dragging. Obviously not. It's fine. I've never needed that option...just had a lot of this to do with this current project. I'll man up and gitter done the old fashioned way. At least it's not tape.

I think it has to do with prime numbers or something. A well done tune, regardless. Timbo

No Ivory 3 users?

This is easier to do using the Console view Create 2 new stereo buses. Set their output to the master. Name one VOCALS. and thee other INSTUMENTS At the bottom of each of the track channel strips is the dialogue for the output of each track. It will have defaulted to master Change each track to the bus you want the track to go to. If there are a lot then you can select all the tracks that belong to a group and use the dialogue shown in the post above by @Chaps This sends the entire track to the bus. As pointed out by @reginaldStjohn you don’t use the send. The send is used when you want to split the signal and send it more than one place. Usually this is a reverb bus.

I love ToneX as well, but the UA sims are fantastic, especially paired with their BX20 spring reverb. The Showman and Deluxe Reverb sims do something pretty important that ToneX doesn't, which is to include the vibrato circuit.

Skelm is indeed correct! I have experienced similar problems a few times, but not so often that I have managed to see any systematicity in the behavior. But I recognize the symptoms! The project does not open until I click away the suddenly recurring quick start window. So, some kind of bug still hides in the code! Not big, not frequent, but nevertheless... And I have to add that this behaviour probably started last update!
