  1. Hiya folks,

    I'd like to know if anyone is using Melodyne 4 Essential. I see it is $99...all I would want to use it for is a tad of pitch correction on a vocal track here and there.  I'm not sure I need more than this out of this type of plugin. 

    Will this do the trick?

    You can build a decent one now days for under 500 bills. I built an I7 4790 4.0GHZ with 16GB of ram for under 5 but I also reused my version of windows, my SSD and case from my old rig.

    Any experience with building ?

    yea.....not really, and I know it would be a moneysaver if I could. I have been a Reason user for a long time, and don't run into any PC issues. However, I am really taking a liking to CbB, so I think it's time for an upgrade, and I'd imagine that Reason would run even better too! Thank you again for your comments/input.

    Yes.  Very pro sounding production.  Wife sounds like she has been doing this for quite awhile.  Just the right vocal inflections at the right places.  Well balanced mix.  Everything can be heard and appreciated.  I gotta spin this for my wife.  She's an avid country lover.  You got a winner here.

    😃John B.

    Thank you very much, John - hope your wife enjoyed it too!

    Love that tele. Bass sits perfectly. Vocals are great, but she is a little forward in the mix for me, certainly right on top of the mic. But pretty much, killer vocal!

     

    I love this style of music, and I love this show particularly.  Dialogue Shakespeare would be proud of, in the setting of a boom town. Just a great show!

     

    Your guitar tones are absolutely awesome, but it's your playing as much as it is Pod Farm. Really great work! I'd just make a little note of some guitar editing choppiness in just a couple of spots. I'm sure you know where they are! Any chance those couple of notes could go from truncated to smoothly decaying away? 

     

    This is a killer song. Very well done!

     

    cheers,

    -Tom

     

     

    Hi Tom - thank you for the props and suggestions. Yes, I do think her vocal is a bit too forward in the mix, and I know exactly which editing choppiness you speak of! I should have spent a bit more time crossfading or extending the decay vs. cutting off. All good comments - thank you!

    Only my opinion...

    If its the Satellite P755-S5215, The MAX Memory allowed is 4GB per slot, equaling a total MAX Memory of 8GB.

    Saving your money Mark. Put it towards a new Laptop/Desktop workstation.

    I know its not easy to materialize 500 - 600 dollars but your Laptops processor is not worth investing on RAM.  Matter of fact, im not even sure your CPU meets the minimum requirements to run Cakewalk by Bandlab.

    The RAM upgrade might help with loading soft synths but Im afraid a 2 gig upgrade wont be that productive.

    Hi Chuck - thank you for your comments!  All good points. Actually, my laptop is the Satellite E45W-C4200X. It has two slots, but the max RAM is actually 8 GB per slot, so I could go to 16GB (as per Toshiba and Crucial memory). But as you mentioned, the processor will likely be the bottleneck here. I have not ordered the memory yet, since I was thinking that throwing $$ at a ton of RAM into the machine with that processor is possibly better spent on a PC with a faster processor and a faster SSD.

    'Trucks' eat your heart ... really good mix and the vocal is second to none ! (Your wife ain't called Susan by any chance 😏)

    Thanks for the props, sir! Re: Derek and Susan - I do have some history with Derek.....;-)

    Hi, Marke,

    Wow, this is an absolutely fantastic song!😀

    Well written and arranged, excellent playing on all the instrumental parts, and you wife's vocals were pure dynamite!

    I especially love all the guitar parts and fills, and the playing and guitar tones were outstanding.

    The modern sounding mix is crystal clear, punchy and totally pro sounding.  The entire production sounds radio-ready to me!👍

    Super stuff, Marke, thanks for sharing!

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    Hey thanks a lot, Bob! The fills during the main part of the song is my Tele, and the solo is my Strat. All guitars done using POD Farm.

  8. Sure. It's a Toshiba laptop, Intel Core i3 running at 2.10 GHz. Currently it only has 6 GB of RAM. The HDD is 500 GB, and I eventually want to upgrade it to a SSD.

  9. Hi all,

    I just ordered some more RAM for my computer (I only have 6 GB). Has anyone experienced performance improvements by increasing the size of the page file in Windoze 10? I was going to give it a try while waiting for the additional RAM. Is this futile, or even dangerous?

  10. Hiya folks,

    Is there any info about how (or if) the users of CbB could get this upgrade, and how much it may cost us? 

    I tried emailing them, but the form asks me for the host I am using, and CbB is not an option in the drop-down host selections.

    Free would indeed be nice, but honestly I am not a Sonar owner, so I don't expect a freebie...

  11. Hi all,

    I'm working on a tune, and I've decided to raise the tempo a bit. When I do that, I get weird results - i.e., clips out of sync, etc.

    I seem to recall you should be able to change the project tempo if you convert all the clips to groove clips, but unless I'm missing something that doesn't work either.

    Changing tempo and preserving the pitch without any artifacts is done very well by my other DAW (Reason), but I need some tips and tricks to make it work in CbB.

    (help me, Obi Wan - you're my only hope!)  😉

  12. Hi all,

    I started a new project, and for some reason hitting the space bar to begn playback is acting weird. The green play button lights up for a second, then my transport control goes right back to Stop, without playing the song. If I click on  the Transport controls instead of using the spacebar or the fast forward buttons, it still will not start the transport.

    I opened some other projects, and the Transport controls and the keyboard shortcuts work fine.

    EDIT: Never mind.....silly me. I discovered that the transport won't play UNLESS there are some audio or MIDI  clips present. (DUH)

  13. Hi all,

    I have some tracks in CbB that I would like to export to Reason - I have some synths in Reason I'd like to use. I suppose I could access the Reason synths via ReWire, but instead of going down that rabbit hole ( I have ZERO knowlege of how to use ReWire) it might be easier for me to just export the tracks and drop them into Reason.

     

    Can someone point me in the right direction of where I can learn how to export all the tracks separately? (The documentation seems to lack a search function...)

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    EDI: Figured it out. Sorry bout that

    Either way - Preferences or TE - tho sometimes Preferences seems to override TE changes.

    Background, fonts, and rulet marks can all be changed.

    Hmmm...fonts? So could I make the measure marker numbers could be made larger, or bold, perhaps? I didn't see this option in Preferences/Colors for the Time Ruler...

  15. Hi all,

    I have my Time Ruler set to show M:B:T, and I have a hard time reading the measure number. It has a grey background wiith black measure numbers. 

    Do I need to modify the theme intself in order to improve the contrast of the numbers in my Time Ruler?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    EDIT: I was at least able to change the color of the measure numbers in Preferences/Colors. Much better!

    I've seen some screen shots of the Track view where there are small faders and pan controls within the Audio Track Strip. In some cases it would be nice to be able to make volume and pan changes without opening the Inspector View...any tips on how I could add those controls?

    Wooops - never mind, I just found it. It's a lens seting.
