This has been stagnant for a while.  Pretty sad for such a good Amp Sim...

I think it's still good. I have a Boss SY-1000 and it enables me to split the signal so I've been sending one signal to S-Gear and another to an old ADA MP-1 and dialing in some of the S-Gear tones on the MP-1. I've had the MP-1 for 25 years or so and still like it.

So here's what I'm trying to achieve:

- Set up a loop of let's say 8 Bars
- Record/Play/overdub in realtime without having to stop the recording
- Start/Stop recording without stopping the playback of the loop, so I can improvise over it and use an Arpeggiator/Note Repeat to play over the loop without recording this
- Clear tracks on the fly without stopping the loop

So I'm actually looking for the workflow of an MPC/ Drum-Machine and I can't seem to do this with the built-in Step Sequencer. Again, I don't really know if I'm missing out on some basics or if I actually need a third party plugin for this. I've tried MPC Beats by Akai Professionalbus using it as a plugin, it keeps crashing Cakewalk.

I don't think you need the step sequencer for this - just use a midi track. Set recording for sound on sound. Set up a loop. I think you can record enable/disable while looping. You'll have to try deleting and see if it works.

I just have the one dll.

I have a number that I use. For the most part I use MSuperlooper by melda productions.

There's also Augustus Loop by Expert Sleepers.

I tend to layer sounds and Ableton Live works well for that although it's not like traditional loopers and you get a lot more, but also pay more. For doing Frippertronics stuff I like Imperial Delay, although it only has 10 seconds of delay.

I haven't used it in years. IIRC I saved MIDI bindings inside the plugin. I set it up once and tweaked occasionally. I wasn't a power user - I just did basic looping and I don't think I used presets.

In the first video above Justin says his tone is from the processor that looks like a boss gt-3 and since it's an amp modeler it's hard to say.

I basically just wanted to avoid plugging the monitoring in or ripping the HX Stomp off the board. Laziness is probably the appropriate word, I wanted to make it easy for myself. For recording vocals, I'll just switch back to the Focusrite then.

That's understandable. I try to keep my home studio setup for minimal fuss.

USB 3 is approximately 10 times faster than usb 2

My bad, USB 3 and USB 2 have the same latency. USB 3 will move more data.

USB-C is a form factor, it can be USB-2 or 3. Check the specs. From what I've read on Windows USB 3 isn't any faster than USB 2, but it has higher bandwidth.

Just curious, any reason you don't want to use the hx stomp for output? I have a Boss sy-1000 and often use it as an audio interface with CbB or Ableton when practicing/noodling around.

Was this experience at the IK store, or another reseller?

Jampoints work fine at IK with Paypal. At least from the US.

I was trying from the US yesterday and there was no button to select Paypal. I tried with both edge and chrome.

Yeah, I missed out on jam points, but I do like the SSR. Just playing around with the rooms a bit I was able to get some nice sounds pretty quickly.

It's $50.00 everywhere, you can always go to a site that is offering a Paypal payment.

Sweetwater     IKmultemedia    ProAudioStar 

I had the same problem, went to JRR Shop ...

Spectrasonics. I have Omnisphere and IIRC I paid for one upgrade and an expansion (Bob Moog Tribute Library). but they both seemed reasonable. I've had a number of free upgrades over the years and a couple were substantial. Of course the upfront cost isn't cheap.

Also agree with Melda P.

I have the MOTU M4 and it's working fine for me. Availability is a problem.

If my understanding is correct USB3 busses supply more power than USB 2 but the transfer speed increase is not that mind blowing. 

Not quite true. USB 2 is 480 Mbps and 3 is 4.8 Gbps which is an order of magnitude faster (and 3.1 is 10 Gbps), but transfer speed doesn't necessarily mean reduced latency. Part of it is that there are more data lines with USB 3 so some data is sent in parallel, but there is also a question of how the data is handled by the host. If the host system responded to data every time a byte was received, if enough data was sent, it would be possible to flood the system so all it did was respond to data and didn't have time to process it. I don't know what the protocol is for USB, but apparently the way the host handles incoming data isn't any faster for 3 vs 2. Since it isn't reducing latency it's not a selling point and vendors aren't flocking to it.

That was on my laptop. I tried on my DAW and got the same results. I checked the firewall and private access was checked, but not public. I checked public and it still didn't work. On my laptop it was the opposite - private wasn't checked, but public was. Bandlab Assistant was set up the same way and it worked.

When I opened CbB today it asked me to register. The form didn't say what field was what - username/password. I entered in that order - email and password, but I got a message saying it was invalid. I logged in to bandlab assistant with the same credentials and that worked. What are we suppose to enter when we need to re-register CbB?

I have a Viewsonic VX3211 2k, so 32 inches. I wouldn't mind dual monitors, but don't have room on the desk...

USB has a much higher transfer rate - 2 orders of magnitude, but people play just fine with MIDI. Have you tried moving the on/off switch? I normally keep mine switched on and rely on USB power. Once the on/off switch wasn't fully on and the display lit up, but the USB connection was flakey.

I can see that the signals are comming in on the eq but i cant seem to get the processed sound to come out.

It looks like the UMC 1820 has direct monitoring, if you want to hear plugins make sure that direct monitoring on the i/f is disabled.

I tried the demos of all of them and ended up making my own and use Session Drummer to play them. As said all of the samples were hits and I wanted drags and swish. 
 

AD has sweeps in Modern Jazz Brushes mentioned above. I counted 7 different sweeps. They're between C2 & C3.

Try it with Merge All and make sure the MIDI out of the MIDI track in CbB is set to the correct output channel of the MOTU.
