  1. Kontakt 6.2.2 - 2020-02-17 FIXED Using Super Audio Cart by Impact Soundworks would cause hangs and crashes in certain cases FIXED The effect of having "Unwind Automation" On was reverted after saving and recalling a multi or host project, when the assignments were made through KSP FIXED There were still hangs and crashes when batch re-saving certain instruments FIXED Kontakt would crash when trying to load NKM files directly from the operating system (Finder / Explorer) FIXED Kontakt would crash when trying to load certain NKI files directly from the operating system (Finder / Explorer); only reproducible with NKIs from Kontakt Player libraries that were not activated on the affected device FIXED Overwriting an NKI through the "Save as..." menu did not work correctly on macOS 10.15 Catalina FIXED Kontakt could crash when adjusting LFO Retrigger across multiple groups FIXED Button hover states would not appear as expected in v6.2.0 and 6.2.1 when controls where overlapping FIXED After using the Creator Tools Instrument Editor on Windows, file paths would sometimes be corrupt when saving and recalling an NKI using Kontakt FIXED KSP Arrays loaded from NKA files were erroneously populated from fallback data on snapshot recall

  4. I had not heard of this forum before your mention of it, M, so I wandered over to see what it was about, liked what I saw and signed up. Thanks for suggesting it. Definitely a good place for orchestral aficionados like me I should mention, though, I personally have never felt at all ill-served by the folks on this forum. I only do classical/symphonic stuff exclusively, but when I've posted my music, folks here have been generous with their time and commentary. And it's been really appreciated.

  5. Everybody's dancing around it, but I'll just say it out loud: automated mastering is snake oil. Many accomplished mix engineers also happen to also be accomplished mastering engineers (e.g. Phil Ramone). But they don't master their own records. The value of an ME isn't in his expensive gear, granite speakers or perfectly-tuned rooms. The true value is having a separate set of ears that can critically and objectively evaluate your mix, in an environment other than your own studio. To that end, you'd do just as well by offering to swap mastering duties with somebody from the Songs forum.

  6. If I had to give up EVERY Plugin I own, and could only keep ONE, it would be Ozone Advanced....it can do ANYTHING that you could possibly need done...it's my "Desert Island" plugin!

  7. And we have ourselves a winner! Let's all congratulate mibby for skillfully winning the game of the deal. {Narrator} When playing the game of the deal it's important to know all the tricks, and I discovered this one myself recently; if you put and leave something in your cart, often during a holiday and especially towards the end of it (must also be logged in so they have an email attached to your cart), the vender will often auto-email you w/ an even better deal if you go through w/ your cart purchase.

  8. Well, how perfectly boring. I can't tell you how many times I've heard of bands breaking up because of this. Even VH-1 "behind the music" wouldn't bother recycling this timeworn, threadbare trope of a narrative.

  10. hi mark, your question was answered - CbB will only use a 64bit version of TTS-1 because it is a DXi - so the TTS-1 you see in CbB is the 64bit version, whereas the TTS-1 you see in older 32bit Sonar will be the 32bit version (same reason/limitation - 32bit host needs 32bit DXi) /hth

  11. KeyPleezer has released LivingRoom Upright Piano Free Edition, a multi-format lite version of the complete edition of the instrument, currently in production for Native Instruments Kontakt sampler. The instrument is a virtual character upright piano that has been sampled from a Swedish large-size upright piano. The free edition consists of 1.5GB of full length 24-bit / 44.1kHz .wav samples. KeyPleezer says: A very intimate uptake of the large-body piano sound with lots of detail and clarity make up this character upright piano instrument. Our complete edition was recorded in 3 close microphone positions. The sounds for this free edition were selected from the first microphone position - above keys close to hammers. All white keys were included in 6 layers, 3 for Pedal Up, 3 for Pedal down (sustain pedal pressed), so separate sound layers triggered based on sustain pedal action. Features include: Intimate & detailed sound rich in piano body. Slightly out of tune here and there, for more realism (not broken or honky-tonk). Close mic player position with lots of stereo space. 6 Velocity layer recordings, piano, mezzo & forte dual recordings (3 layers for Pedal OFF, 3 Layers for Pedal ON). Dynamic Range knob for velocity triggered volume range. Pre-track volume output. 2 Separate "Raw Authentic" and "Muted / Dampened" upper key range presets "Raw Authentic" preset has a upper key range that behaves like the original piano, playing the entire sound always. "Muted / Dampened" preset plays upper ranges like any other key, dampened upon release. Logic Pro X & GarageBand specific Smart Controls: Dynamic Range (EXS instrument volume range). Bass & Treble tone controls. Compression control. Transient control. Volume output knob pre-track. Works for both Windows & macOS, depending on your sampler software. Currently supported samplers are Native Instruments Kontakt sampler (5.0.1+, full version required) and the EXS24 sampler. A separate macOS installer is available for using Logic Pro X, MainStage and GarageBand patches, with built-in Smart Controls that load directly in these 3 apps. Smart controls include dynamic range control, compression, transient control and eq. According to KeyPleezer, more sampler formats are in production. View of Smart Controls user interface in GarageBand v10.3.4 running under macOS Catalina. For Kontakt a separate NCW version is also available, including only .ncw (lossless compressed audio) sound files which is lighter in size at around 700MB. LivingRoom Upright Piano Free Edition can be downloaded for free via KeyPleezer's website at keypleezer.com/livingroom-upright-piano/free-edition https://keypleezer.com/livingroom-upright-piano/free-edition/

  12. Try disabling the "stutter" module, which is on by default in most of the presets. There is a lot of functionality in the plugin (and you can use it less heavy-handed) besides the stutter feature. It is linked to the transport, so samples are in musical time and can be used in varying ways (it basically captures sample slices on the audio feed then manipulates them per the algorithm used). Unless doing EDM, you will find most of the presets overzealous. The manual is worth reading for that guy, especially for the controls that have rate variation to them. That GUI isn't as intuitive as one would hope.

  13. Yep, I hear you. But first thing there is no such option to get as good deal as like having $25 voucher... The only closest possibility is to combine focusrite with $29 plugin what in total will give $28.99 against $24.99 so you need to pay $4 more comparing if you have $25V. It is not a lot you could say but still psychologically makes me very uncomfortable and frustrated. Yep I did it in the past, many times, have several licenses of tuner which is in fact not used by me (so many better alternatives) But hey, we (I mean mostly you are publishing deals here which are differing sometimes several cents (EP against JRR or AD or something else), right? And Larry, you underestimate me, I am at next level of GAS and not getting 'freebie' which cost more than $0 Maybe another explanation is I am tired of that approach... Tricking, sneaking, trash collecting, etc... I would like just to buy, fast, quick and be appreciated by manufacturer if I buy more... Not discriminated but appreciated

  14. Larry, the problem with posting classical works on this forum is that the majority of people here are not doing classical. So, if you post your music here, out of courtesy you need to also listen to and comment on the other music people post here. but you probably have as little interest in such much music as they have of yours. I suggest you join the Ning Composers Forum. most of the music is classically oriented and you will get far more interest in your music. I see that several former members of Northern Sounds have moved over there (Ted Vanya, fastlane, G Prengel to name a few). composersforum.ning.com

  17. Check it out, just put this together quickly ;^) I did make a discovery that Cakewalk does not link the MIDI Channel Volume Controls to the Volume on the individual slots. These can be automated however as you will see in the video. I checked this with Cubase and they provide and additional Quick Control that can be assigned to the individual part volume, Hope this helps?

  18. It would be helpful to have a screenshot showing how your views are configured. Assuming from the description that you have the Console undocked, I did a quick check, and the multidock open/close shortcut only worked when the undocked Console View was floating (the default when first undocked), but then you wouldn't see the dock opening and closing if the console is maximized because it's part of the main application window that will be hidden behind a maximized Console . If floating is disabled, the standard 'D' shortcut stops working. ButPrev/Next Measure shortcuts work in either mode for me so I'm not sure what that's about, though another user menitoned having the same problem recently.

  22. I see what your talking about now. For the English version of CbB I use the D key to open and close the multidock. Shift+D maximizes/minimizes the Multodock. Not sure what that is saying, can't read it. But can you unbind the shortcut? Is that option available? Is Mixer View a Workspace? If so, that keybinding maybe part of that Workspace. I don't use Workspace so I am not familiar with how it works. But I do use Multidock a lot. Love the multidock.

  23. Just a guess - Mixer Mode = Console View?

  25. Are you doing monitor through Cakewalk and can do mod wheel stuff and sound changes? A bit puzzled over that you do channel 3 and it works but record on channel 1 or omni. What recording mode are you using? Rightclick record button transport. Haven't used the overwrite and soundonsound modes myself, but remember some replace alternatives can mess things up in daws as I discovered. I usually do mod wheel and such on a separate midi track to same destination when doing CC1 separately. Easy to wipe out and just start again. Also discovered that doing comping record and takes to separate track - create a track with a muted lane, but track is unmuted - so that is one thing to look at.

  27. That was very interesting! There's been a few, um, changes in the band since this video though... The two guys on the left are gone, I didn't even find a reference to the bass player, and the, er, "guy" on the right (the twin of the guy in the center) is now, officially, a girl named Isabella (or Bunny). I guess, if you're an android, it doesn't really matter much, does it? 🤔

  29. Thanks Simon, the thing is I have already got most of PA plugins and don't want pay even $1 for that redundancy I don't need, or random plugin I just don't want it is still wasting money and what's is more important and so frustrating worse deal comparing to those having $25 (I could just not to buy anything in December and still have $25 voucher). I had harder fight on January because I wanted purple77 very strongly and had impression (but maybe wrong) at a moment I could combine it with something I didn't have yet but realized I didn't want to pay for any plugin what I didn't really like ... EDIT: most of those I wanted to have at any moment

  31. I haven't set foot in the studio for a year. I had started to suffer from lack of motivation and this happened to coincide with lots of other personal stuff going on and only now, am I beginning to miss it But I know the first thing I've got to do (after making sure it all works) is to install all the software I need onto a separate Win 10 disc which has been ready to fo for ages That won't take 5 minutes 😅 😅😅

  35. This is what I sometimes do, and is a pretty handy feature. I’ve started creating really rough sketches in Studio One Artist (which came free with the cheap PreSonus USB interface I bought for my laptop), and then send the tracks to Notion 6, which has been my notation software of choice for quite a while. I expand and finish the arrangement in Notion, then print the finished score and perform it into CuBase, where I create the final recording. Kind of a roundabout way to do it, but it’s pretty seamless. I find the “send to Notion” feature in Studio One is nice and works well. And Notion is great - easy to use and the built in sounds are trouble free and work perfectly fine for composition purposes.

  39. I sometimes use melodyne to even out vocal or instrument note levels by adjusting the individual or selected group of notes and raising or lowering to taste. It is a lot if work but i like the control i can get with it. Can also tweak pitch and position etc while im at it.
