  1. Greetings...

    So with the arrival of 'Next' & 'Sonar'  what will happen with CbyB

    My understanding is that I will be able to continue to use CbyB as its already installed but say I get a new system will i be able to get access to the old CbyB installation files or is it at this point where a will have to look at paying for this software  ??

    Thanks for any help . . .

  2. If ive understood the countless DAW videos I've watched on YT then More cores is better if your composing Orchestral or Hybrid orchestral music and Single core speed is much more important for  other types of music 

    Am I right in assuming the I5 is the better option (I generally write songs in the 'Any other type of music' category 

    i5-13500 Processor, 14 P Cores , 6 E Cores,  Pcore Base Frequency  2.5 GHz

    i7-12700 Processor, 6 P Cores,  8 Ecores, PCore Base Frequency  2.1 Ghz

  3. So what is the better for music production 

     

    i5-13500 Processor, 14 P Cores , 6 E Cores,  Pcore Base Frequency  2.5 GHz

    i7-12700 Processor, 6 P Cores,  8 Ecores, PCore Base Frequency  2.1 Ghz

     

    Its a moot point if purchasing from Chillblast as their music production PC only offers the i5

     

     

  4. Thanks for all your  thoughts chaps

    Historically the stuff ive written in the past would fall into the '24-track song-writing demos' category (20 ish VST instrument )  but in the last year Ive written a few 'Orchestral ' tracks (30  kontakt)  instruments all on a 6th Gen  I-7

    I just want to have a better machine than I currently have.

    So if my old system can deal with what Ive already done then a new one should be a great improvement

    The question then becomes do I do What Jack did and buy the biggest CPU I can but rarely use it to full capacity ? ..... or

    or go the I-7 route which will be less costly !!

  5. I have a fair number of questions but don't know where to start...?

    I'll put some context  here though . 

    I am about to retire and fancy a newer Windows based PC  to make music with.

    I will only be recording myself so my needs are modest compared to some.  And whilst it would be nice to have 13th gen i9  64 mb ram etc  my first question is what's going to suit my needs

    But a little more specificity to my questions

    What cpu should I start with 

     

  6. Cakewalk isnt as good at detecting  audio file tempos than Cubase is.... (Don't hate me !)

    I have used Cubase to extract tempos from an audio file (City To City by Gerry Rafferty) but cant get it into CbyB

    My first choice was to export midi but although midi note data is imported from Cubase the tempo information isn't showing

    Cubase can export a tempo map but I think its only readable by Cubase (.SRT) 

    Is there a way to achieve this . . . ?

  7. If you have a project with just MIDI instruments and have set the 'Level' and 'Panning' (what I call a 'MIDI Mix) and then want to convert the midi to audio do you

    A. Leave the panning where it is ?

    B. Set panning to 0 and the Re-Pan the part as audio ?

    Is there a 'Right or Wrong' here ??

    Thanks in advance for any help

     

  8. Just applied a drum map for AD2 and when double clicking on a midi clip the 'Piano Keyboard ' of the PRV is being displayed as well as the drum map

    Even if you resize the PRV to taste (in my cast Drum Map about 90% and Velocity section 10%) the selection is not saved and I have to resize each time I open the PRV (See Screenshots).

    Am I missing something here ???

  9. I've just discovered gain staging and seeing waveforms so low is freaking me out... on to my questions

    Firstly 'Chris Selim @  Mixdown Online' recommends to gain stage at -12dbfs Peak rather than -18dbfs RMS when gain staging drums. Is this a good way to gain stage

    Secondly, I've set the outputs to each drum and bus in AD2 to record on separate audio channels and used 'FreeG' and  the above method to record the output to around -12dbfs but the waveforms look way too small.  I don't know if I've done something wrong and feel uncomfortable when looking at the results. Is this the right way to gain stage AD2 

  10. I know that meter colouring can be changed but as far as I can tell the db level at which this change occurs is not configurable and there are only 2 clours

    I want to be able to have meter change at three levels to assist with the 'Gain Staging' process

    Between Infinity & -18db = Colour 1

    Between -18db & -10db = Colour 2

    Above -10 db = Colour 3

    Can this be done in CbyB, if not anyone know of a third party plug in that does the same thing

     

    Have Fun

  12. It can be done using ......

    but its clunky and easy to end up with midi clips or audio clips ending up on the wrong track.

    Its also flawed as if you have Track Folders that have been 'Coloured' in the original the colour is not copied over with the folder so you have to manually re-colour the folders (the tracks inside the folders which were also 'coloured' do maintain their colour though}

    A simple 'Merge Projects' option would be appreciated

     

     

  13. Back Story . . . . . . . I'm trying to make an orchestral template and its looking like I might be going to run short of RAM...... I upgraded from 8 to 16 Mb in the last year and so didnt want to double down on the memory stakes
