All Activity

Trying to brainstorm and, while not the elegant feature you are looking for, I thought of this possibility: 1] Bounce all clips to one clip 2] Make manual splits at beginning and end of the wanted sections 3] Select all the unwanted blank clips in between the wanted sections 4] Delete the blank clips using Ripple edit

Sale prices until December 31, 2025 The Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) GUI interface has been redesigned.

When taking a look at the new Poet's Piano from Dan Keen, the first notes I played sparked the idea for this song. We had just had a beautiful snowfall a few days earlier and it just took off from there. I hope you enjoy listening, and of course all done inside of Cakewalk SONAR. Also be on the lookout on your favorite digital music service as well. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/simeonamburgey/its-christmas Joyfully yours, Simeon

https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/blog/ At a Glance FerricTDS was designed to capture the unmistakable warm yet powerful sound of classic tape compression in all its facets and detail, and to take it a step further. Combining state-of-the-art technology with a loving nod to the great classic tape machines, FerricTDS mkIII captures the magical essence of days gone by and takes it to a new, unique level. The update is tuned to deliver a wide spectrum of profound bass tones, confident mids, and elegant highs. You can add subtle warmth or brilliance to the sound or make dramatic changes to the overtone structure while creating musical-sounding distortions. Applications signal balancing and gluing tonal shaping and harmonic excitation controlling peak performance increasing perceived loudness levels Changes to Previous Versions The mkIII redesign updates key areas to modern signal-processing standards and improves overall usability. The most visible change is the new toolbar with an integrated preset manager and A/B control. SC filtering now sits within a general color control, and plug-in calibration is easier thanks to a headroom control on the toolbar. In mkIII, limiting is always active whenever levels exceed a set threshold, and adjusting the limiter makes the transfer curve more linear at lower levels, giving the circuit a soft-clipper character. To complete the tape simulation, signal coloration now adds pre-emphasis-driven high-frequency compression, plus a new wow & flutter feature. An authentic transformer circuit is also included.

Also on that page: UPGRADE TO TRINITY DRUMS 2 AT A REDUCED PRICE: $15 Quite a few people probably got the original Trinity as a freebie a while back from Best Service, so this might be save them a few more bucks if they're considering it 🙂

I tend not to use these types of tools, but even I grabbed it a while back! It gets rave reviews from just about everyone, it's a talented dev and they have really fair prices. I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet, but it does seem quite interesting and useful and it might be good for generating some ideas as starting points.

It seems like whatever we're buying is always going to get cheaper as these companies target new buyers more than existing, so sitting out some of these sales when they aren't the best ones makes perfect sense. My EDU discount was running out during their prior sales and I got SSO at the lowest I'd seen it ever, so I grabbed it. Really nice library, but I'm sure you've already got enough to wait it out until they offer something decent. In saying that, there have been plenty of companies that held out on their flagship product/s and never discounted enough and now they have, I have no interest in them, as I've covered them with other products, so it can also be a risky game that Spitfire is playing.

You beat me to it!!! hahaha Was coming here to post this. Definitely worth being on the list. There are usually a few days where it's a completely free product (but you have to be quick!)

Transients aren't hard to use, just change where it says Clips on the track to transients and they appear. If you double click on the track a box appears where you can adjust how many transients there are, I do 75% except on the drum track I leave alone. I reference everything to the drum track transients. I always since up the drums and bass before I do any more recording if possible so I'm playing to a track that is on time. I always thought my time was pretty good but the recording process has shown me otherwise.

I find that Sonar and Cubase in the design never show you every event in one place. Example the tempo and program changes are not on the event list. So the midi data is scattered across 4 places. The event list, the transport. System Exclusive list and the track header. I have often had to open the midi file in a very basic Midi sequencer to view all the information in one place. Im away from home so can’t recommend one but they are all pretty easy to find by search for “Free Midi Sequencer “. The one I have allows me to edit the start and add events in a list that has a lot more information than any Daw gives me. Sorry I can’t remember what it is called. The GUI looks like it is DOS based.

Nah....that doesn't do it.

Volume is controlled by mod wheel. Just like Kontakt.

I do not have a controller wheel, so I draw my CC data by hand. Many of the instruments, especially the winds, do not respond to CC7, CC11 or even CC7 data. Any suggestions or hints would be welcomed.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I downloaded and installed the MMcL surfaces and used an instance of it for the Yamaha Motif transport controls and kept Mackie-1 for the Mackie MCU control surface. Everything now works as it should - I can access tracks beyond 1-8 via the bank control on the Mackie MCU and I can control transport from the Yamaha keyboard. Thanks again! Neil Holland, Oregon USA

No code, and no place to disable the renewal that I could find - where did you disable yours?

You could try setting a Landmark to Clips in Preferences|Snap to Grid. Then dragging clips should snap to start/end of the nearby clip. (Haven't tried it myself).

Thanks. Yes, the harp is me...stumbling along. About the timing, the acoustic guitar riff is definitely off beat, sometimes....it's a weird, unusual but really cool timing, that, when coupled with a steady always on the beat riff that the bass plays, will sound off beat...because it is. I guess the only way to see if I'm right is if I recorded a bass track totally in synch with the riff to see if it would work, which, I might be able to do... I don't know how to use audio transients to check the timings...Cheers!

FYI... The Constrained Dragging feature works fine here. I tested with both left and right shift key.

Same here - works fine for me. @Skelm are you on the latest build?

I can reproduce that Shift is not constraining horizontal clip movement as it should; I hadn't noticed because all the clips I've dragged recently were starting at 1:01:000 and/or snap being enabled at a measure was taking care of it.

In case it wasn't clear, I agree: MIDI 1.0 Compliant Gear (including virtual gear) shouldn't become obsolete, etc. What happens in the future remains to be seen.
