No need. He knew it already. My aunt and uncle lived in Lutcher, right next door to Gramercy. Just outside of Gramercy was a Kaiser aluminum plant. I went to live with them. Know that smell well.

Welcome WingIt. Glad you could join us. The Coffeehouse (we call it "down here") is well off the beaten path. But you will find some really good people around these parts. When ya need more specific help as you develop your workflow, probably best to ask in another section of the forum. If your unsure, just ask us down here and we will get you to the right place.

Great story Kenny.

When did that happen? Shows ya how much I paid attention to PA.

I remember those pedals. I recently got one of those kit builds from StewMac. It's a pedal they created based on a "Klon Centaur Professional Overdrive" I have never played through a real Klon, but this pedal I built is the best overdrive pedal I have ever used. I recommend them highly.

Yep! Me too

Yep. Matter of eefoc, I need a cup right now!!

Yes, this may open another door you never expected.

Said many many times by many many folks trying to do the right thing!! It's a curse I tell ya!! Voodoo!!

Yeah... here I go with that clarity again!! I meant "the only ones I use on a regular basis!! : )" But you knew that didn't you!! Dealing with me for so long!! (gotta laugh at myself) And again, when I wrote it, it was very clear... to me!! All my stuff has been since 2k. Nothing 'vintage'. So I should get around that little hitch. The oldest USB I have is the Original Trigger Finger. And it's worked on everything XP to Win11. I did order the one that ACL found for me. The 6' version. And I read some of the reviews before I pulled the trigger. Wasn't you in that thread recently that we were talking about Amazon selling a lot of fake stuff? And just for everyone watching, I did search. I searched for midi interfaces. Never thought about a midi to USB cable!! Seriously!! Again, thanks everyone!!

When these first came out I was wondering the same thing. I ran CW on a Surface Pro 3 with a i7 cpu in it for years and had no problem doing rough mixing stuff of 20-30 trks. Since latency wasn't an issue, as both Mark and Jim mention, I could get away with it. Mixing I don't mind latency. I don't want to wait 10 seconds for a change to take effect!! But a few seconds is acceptable. Recording, that's a whole another story!!! On my Surface 3 I could do limited, (very limited) recording with any type of plugins. Mostly what I would do was create in EZD or EZK the bounce that down/freeze those trks and get one, maybe two audio trks of guitar ideas. This using a cheap Behringer U-Phoria 2 with Behringer's own modified version of ASIO4ALL. And I would still have latency. But I did a lot of creating on that thing. It was easily transportable, easy setup, And all the same programs I had on my desktop machine at home. So I was familiar with everything.

@ the mods: Thanks for moving thread to the correct forum.

LOL!! Thanks for all the help. This is a great forum!!

This is exactly what I was thinking as I no longer have any midi interface anymore. And my midi arsenal is small compared to some I know. I have only four hardware midi controllers I use. Two are USB (Alesis Q49, Trigger Finger) and two without, (Behringer foot controller FCB 1010, and Yamaha DD75). And there must be others with a need greater than mine that has a audio interface that doubled as a midi interface, that no longer works in Window X.

Thank you!! This is what I couldn't find. Ordered. And thanks for the wifi idea. That looks promising. Not that expensive.

Yep!! I still got 4. Gonna use one. That will leave me three. Yep!!

Yep. I got that figured out. Not a noob! : ) That said, I have gotten rid of all my interfaces that have Midi inputs on them. And all midi hardware I now have has USB interface. SOOOO I thought maybe they came out with a very simple/cheap way to convert midi into a USB signal for all that old hardware that we all have laying around. Really was trying to keep this short... I have a Behringer midi foot controller I want to use with amp sims and synths. It has 5 pin din. I have a Yamaha electronic drum controller I want to use also. It has 5 pin din. Thus my need for a simple midi interface. Thanks for all your responses. I should have made it more clear. (And I should have posted in the CH, not the deals!! Unless somebody can find a real good deal on some kind of midi interface... then we all benefit!! Funny how that works!)

I thought I posted this in the CH. Sorry.

What's the best way to get midi from a hardware unit into a computer these days?

Don't be too concerned We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning

Are nice!! Public Entertainment Never Included Such nice accessories.

Found this place too: https://obsproject.com/forum/

Keni, for me I had to come to realize that the software (in my case Voice Meter) needed input signal from CW out put. It completely bypassed the audio interface. Then in Voice Meter I could route/record the output from CW it was receiving, and then send to the audio interface or any other software. To help me with this I had to go into Windows/Settings/Systems/Sound/Output and choose Voice Meter. Had to do the same with the Windows Input (right below Output setting). Once I did that Voice Meter became an option in CW and in Voice Meter CW was able to be heard finally. Not sure if this is the case with you or not. But give it a shot.

We discuss all kinds of BS topics around here, this can just be considered more.... or just a different topic!! LOL!! JK Keni, do you have and option to select an OBS input in CW Prefernces/Devices/Output Drivers? If yes to the above is there a way to select CW as an input in OBS. Not familiar with that software at all. I know your not a noob, you been around the block many times. But last year I was having a hard time getting Voice Meter Banana/Potato to work with CW. It was all user error in the end.
