    Feature Request: Chord Track

    in Feedback Loop

    Posted

    I would love to see a future version of Sonar include a chord  track like they have in Cubase and Studio One. Ideally, you can drag an audio clip to the track and it'll tell you what the chords are. Also, the ability to generate new MIDI or audio content (e.g. backup harmonies) based on the chord track. It's also an easy way to tell what chord you're in while the song is playing or you're recording a new track.

    Thanks!

    Feature: Drums maps are garbage

    in Feedback Loop

    Posted · Edited by Neel Modi

    UPDATE to my earlier thread:

    I recently got my Battery working better for me, after years of using it. I managed to get all Battery 3 kits into Battery 4 and consolidated all drum maps for Cakewalk by Bandlab / Sonar users.

    I did enter my serial number for Komplete 8, and even 12 hours later, Native Access wouldn't show anything from my Komplete 8 stuff. I have discs but I think they're in storage in my parent's basement :).

    However, I did find Battery 3 installation files here:

    https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000549845

    And here's how to import Battery 3 kits into Battery 4:

    And finally, my consolidated drum maps for Cakewalk users:

    Enjoy!

    By the way - you would be a hero to a whole bunch of NI Battery 4 users, if you would share those with the folks on the NI forums.  And, here in the Cakewalk forums, as well, if you created a thread in the Instruments forum, with the download link for them, as there are a lot of folks using Cakewal, that also have some flavor of NI Komplete.

    I have drum maps for the Battery 3 drum maps - would you like those?

    Good idea, Bob, thanks, will do. I also have Battery 3 maps but when I upgraded to Battery 4, my presets for Battery 3 disappeared. I don't worry about it much, as there's lots of cool kits in B4 anyway.

    Synth Rack colour

    Thanks scook, the guys on FB said it couldn't be done in the Theme Editor. I've never even installed the editor, but I can try it.

    I'm looking for a different colour / shade on the SELECTED synth. If they all change to same colour, that won't help me.

    For years, I've KNOWN how to do a drum map in Sonar/Cakewalk, but rarely bothered,  because it's cumbersome. But recently I found that my go to kit for a lot of stuff was the same (NI Abbey Road 60s Full Kit) so I decided to give it a go. It did take some time, but once you're in the groove it's pretty easy, and I also had a chart in the Abbey Road manual that gave all the note names/numbers and drum names, so I could easily copy and paste names from the PDF.

    To date, this is the only drum map I've ever used (been using Sonar since 2003-ish). I only use NI Battery 4 quite a bit, and some of those kits have many drums, but I could never find maps for them so I don't think anyone else bothered to create them either!

    Izotoye Vinyl automation

    in Instruments & Effects

    Posted

    Hi everyone

    I've been a long-time fan of the free Vinyl plug-in by Izotope (https://www.izotope.com/en/products/vinyl.html) for lo-fi effects

    I'm working on a track where I want only part of the song to use Vinyl. So I put Vinyl into an FX Chain in the Master Pro Channel, and then automated the chain's on/off button. But this results in a bit of a click every time it goes on/off. I'd rather take a beat or two to fade-in/fade-out the lo-fi effect. Any suggestions on how to do this? In Vinyl, there is only a bypass switch, there's no mix knob to automate.

    Thanks!

    Note name in PRV question

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Yes but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

    To alter the default behavior requires extending master.ins with the desired note names and using the notes names dialog to load the custom names.

    One downside to this approach is the inability of the DAW to recall the alternate note name assignments. Unlike drum maps, the notes pane always opens with the default keyboard.

    Hmm, this looks like it's part of an instrument definition, not a master override. TBH, I don't know if I'd pick flats or sharps for a general setting....

    Loving the new feature that shows note names on the notes in PRV! However, it uses both flats and sharps at the same time. Is there a way to get it to conform to a specific key signature? I inserted a key change at measure 1 to Ab (3 flats) but PVR still shows both Bb's and G#s in the PRV. Any way to change this?

    Thanks!
