Alright, I was able to use my latest $25 coupon to get the Mixing Bundle for $18!!! Shwwweeet!! I already had many of the plugins in that bundle. I got the Century Channel strip, and the Waterfall Leslie for my $18! Every UAD plugin I ever got was during a sale. Never paid full price for any of them. But this sale was by far the best of them all.

November will be a big month for the Rob Papen brand! In the 2nd half of November, we are planning the release of eXplorer-9, Go2-X, and Albino-3 Legend! eXplorer-9 will include Go2-X, and Albino-3 Legend as the first new products in this bundle!

To qualify, the free upgrade to Go2-X also includes Go2 purchases made during September 2023. More info on Go2 and to purchase it here.

I really like Bandcamp. In my genre, Celtic music, most of the bands and artists I love have their music on Bandcamp, which is where I buy their music. I've discovered quite a few new ones as well. And they are artists who tour extensively, both in Europe and here. I don't know what their total share of sales come from Bandcamp but it's very easy to find and buy their music. Also, a main plus is the ability to download 24/48 wave files of the recordings, not just lossy files. I retired from touring and live performances twenty years ago and nowadays that is really the only way to make a living as a pure musician. By that I mean someone who's career is primarily performance-focused. I was that for decades but in order to continue to make a living in music I had to adapt and change as life changed. Marriage, kids and all that comes with it made me need to change my lifestyle and my strategy. For the last couple of decades I've run a small recording studio and have enough clients from that, along with teaching, a bit of session work and some consulting, that I don't need to rely on the income from album sales or touring any more . So for me, Bandcamp is a perfect place to put my music and send clients and others to it check out and maybe toss some money my way.

I prefer this 1967 Camaro!

Brethren beware. Last time the sale was ended a few hours before the PST deadline. Apologies were made nonetheless.

Don't worry. I think I understand what you have and what you are trying to get it to do. Check with Alesis, check with BFD. You just need to find a virtual drum instrument that knows how to interpret what your Alesis drum brain is putting out. The DAW's job is to record whatever MIDI messages the drum brain is putting out. Then to play that information back either to an external unit or a virtual drum instrument. Unless the DAW is set to filter out polyphonic aftertouch data, the DAW will be out of the troubleshooting equation, and you've already pointed out that Cakewalk is successfully recording it. The only matter of concern is that the virtual instrument knows what to do when it gets those key aftertouch messages. There's a terminology issue in this thread, I think. The term "choking" usually refers to setting up a note so that playing a certain note event immediately after it cuts off its sustain. The classic example is that the open hi hat note will be choked by both the pedaled hi hat and the closed hi hat notes, and the open hi hat and pedal hi hat notes will both be choked by a closed hi hat. In the case of your Alesis, the thing that's supposed to cause the note to get muted isn't a subsequent note event, it's a polyphonic aftertouch event. Polyphonic MIDI aftertouch isn't seen too often in the world of MIDI controllers, so it's interesting to me to see it being used in this way.

BestService still has the Oktoberfest codes going so you can save another 20 or 40 if you spent at least 99 or 199 respectively. https://www.bestservice.com/de/deals/eastwest_back_to_the_studio_sale_5313.html

Thanx...fixed now...clipboard didn't clear

I'm not sure that URL looks very East West related there Lars ?

This has been requested since the beginning of time. We all have just gotten used to starting at either 1 or 2. I often put the count in on measure 1 and song starts at 2. The reason is you can’t have midi notes at zero or they might not trigger properly. A negative measure option has been asked for many times and everyone agreed it’s a great idea but it has yet to be seen. It especially bugs people who rely on the notation view.

^^^ This. ^^^ I've found it's a lot more fun when you're just doing it to do it and not to try and make a living. Plus, I'm totally fascinated by plugins and everything that's available to the home studio musician these days.

@dumbquestions At this moment, it looks like the sale is still up. If @Fleer is correct with the PST ending, then you have less than 5 hours. My guess is that you can probably get a $40 plugin, then depending on how quickly the $25 "thank you" arrives (in my case, I had to contact support which is 2-3 days) you could pick up another for $14 with that discount. Worst case, the UADTUESDAY code was usable 3x. (I'm not sure how quickly that resets either.) So without a "thank you", you could pick up 2 other $40 plugins. I don't know how or if they double up on the "thank you" coupons yet, because I'm new to the UAD ecosystem too. Also, you need to buy one on their site to get things rolling first. Good luck!

I am just doing this with no commercial expectations. I just do it because I enjoy doing it and its a hobby. Making music and using music tools that were in the past inaccessible is whats it all about for me. its a lot of fun. I sort of approach it as a personal challenge to myself. Can I be focused enough to complete a song or a complete work that lasts 5 mins or so. I am very far removed from what is currently modern or popular music and musicians. Where I am these are the types of people that are currently what audiences like to see and hear. That ain't me. Kerzner is cool and respect what he does, but I would never do that and never did it in the past. a) I have a job and use the monies from that to fund my hobbies. And b) even when I was younger, I never was after making money from music. I never taught guitar to kids in the neighbor hood or did things like play in cover bands.

thanks Gods for these !

Audio Damage Enso updated to v1.2.6 (not a deal) ENSO CHANGES V1.2.6c (Oct 3rd, 2023) >> The fourth (!!!!) attempt at a macOS installer that we didn’t mess up in some way. A brief editorial: Apple has made it so comically complicated to deploy our particular species of product at this point that mistakes are not only likely, but nearly inevitable. (Also, we may be using that previous statement as a beard for what is quite obviously our own ineptitude.) Apologies, and this one is absolutely, definitely, almost certainly probably correct. V1.2.6b (Oct 3rd, 2023) - no info V1.2.6 (yesterday) >> A bug was found where Enso was not loading audio files that weren’t in the native sample rate of the session. This has been fixed. Check your email for update notice containing download link. Edit: added V1.2.6b & c info (thanks @Brando)

Whats the deal with this monkey ! He has the pull tab of somebodies zipper in his mouth and he don't want to hear about it ? Kenny

The first question has to be about what virtual instrument you're trying to control. The instrument has to be able to interpret key aftertouch events as cymbal chokes for it to work. It looks like your pads are putting the events out correctly and that Cakewalk is recording them correctly, so the next place to look is at the instrument. It looks like it might be the Studio Drums that comes with Cakewalk? If so, it's possible that it's not able to interpret key aftertouch as choking. It's a pretty simple instrument.

but but....in 1969 ye could get a Charger for that money !

Not sure I'd be thankful for guitars without most of their necks though! ? ?

Awesome, feel like that’s all I needed to know thanks! Was eyeballing a couple of their native plugins as it is so I may go the route you described

I've only ever used it for mixing (to learn the DAW). I create in Studio One Pro.

Ask. I just got mine and it's good till Nov 1st. Who knows what the next sale is going to be - might come in handy.

Bye bye WUP Bye bye WUPpiness Hello UAD I think I’m gonna fly

Even if distributed, there are processes that have to run end-to-end on one core/thread, so you may be seeing one of them. That CPU spike is nutty though, and much like what I saw when my cooler app was enabled (just on all cores for me). You may want to try something simpler at first, like going into the UEFI and saving your current profile, then go into EZ Mode and just set that to normal and see where that lands you on performance. I tend to default to 1.03 for XMP settings anymore, since once overheating begins I have seen a slew of page faults get thrown (LatencyMon will see these too). Once that starts the performance tanks out fast, so you may be seeing the computer trying to decipher the gibberish that one core is throwing at it.

Thanks for the reply and testing the file. The 13900k is weird... it basically internally automatically overclocks and underclocks, parks cores, etc. It's really interesting to watch in HW Info in general and during benchmarks. Single cores are able to hit thermal limits without damage and they throttle individually, and that's actually how it's supposed to work. Throw on ASUS "magic sauce" motherboard stuff, and it gets even weirder. I've built a lot of computers over the last 30 years, from desktops to high end servers, and I've never seen anything like it. It freaked me out at first until I researched it. The only overclock I have on is XMP and whatever the CPU does automatically internally. I limited the CPU to 125W in the BIOS, and that tamed 95%+ of the AIO ramp up that would happen constantly. I couldn't have it doing that during recording, and that setting fixed it. It still ramps up when cores are pegged, though. It's just how this CPU is supposed to work :: shrug :: On that note, when watching Task Manager while opening any newer CW project, a single logical processor on one of the hyperthread capable performance cores is pegged while the AIO is ramped up, and all the other 22 1/2 physical cores/31 logical procs are almost completely idle, as shown in the attached screenshot. So, I'd guess a single thread in CW is putting a lot of processing in to loading... something(?) related to ProChannel or something else in the newer project files? Figuring out how to distribute the load across cores? I honestly don't know. It's just weird that it's only with newer projects. EDIT: As a note on general behavior, once loaded, when playing Lord Tim's "Time to Fly" at 32 sample buffer, the AIO fans stay at the silent setting. I do get a late buffer or two, but dropping to a 64 sample buffer results in zero late buffers, engine load sits around 25-30%, and the CPU looks like it's not working hard. That project is a great acid test.

1969 R-Code Mach I. I actually worked with a guy for 3 years before I even realized he had one. He only wanted 40% of what it was worth at the time, but a friend of his talked him out of selling it Then to add insult to injury, I am following a tow truck going up I-81 near home less than a year later towing one (not R-Code though). As I get closer to it, he had written on the back window, "This is why to be nice to your brother-in-law. He might give you a '69 Mach I!" Oh wait... MUSIC gear... hmmm... I am good.

Yes, that's the elephant in the room. He hasn't been logged on for a month. Whatever the reason, I just hope he's well.

I like this - the vocals have a Peter Gabriel feel to them. What did you use for the Bass? Nigel

bass needs to tightened up.jack c

Sounds like a great recording and decent mix????

I'm like Charlie Brown and just expect the world to cr*$ on me ? My coping mechanism has been to find humor in the situation ? Just saying some of U need to give it a try ? I'm off to watch a movie. Oh shoot my TV says no connection! See the world is out to get me. I shall go cry me a River ? Nile or Mississippi? LOL
