  2. I'm all for opening up the economy. You go first. I'll be right behind you. 😛
  3. I have a gr-20. Mine works fine. Not perfect but i use it a lot. It is the only pedal i never put away. The gr-20 synth does a better job than the midi for hammer ons and pull offs. I think it sends the midi with pitch bend data. It is likely possible to match the pitch bend to the guitar bend but i haven't gotten that straight yet. The midi tracks well when i pick each note. I usually plug my guitar in directly to my amp, bypassing the gr-20 for the guitar pickups. I only send the gk3 pickup to the gr20 and i use 2 cables in the guitar. Sometimes the switch on the guitar gets pushed to guitar only and this takes me a moment to understand why midi stops. I've thought the bend range on notes in cakewalk could be changed to better match guitars. You can bend a whole note or more spending on your guitar, strings and position on the neck. The gr20 knows this. Knows also the real pitch. So it does a great job. I'm not sure the midi sent to the daw is as good. There is a tool called syntorial you can buy to learn about synthesizers. Synthesizers are complicated but understandable. It it's to much for a manual to understand synthesizers and all their settings. This one shows the midi tracking the part.
  4. Have you seen these videos for using Total Mix? https://www.rme-usa.com/totalmix-fx.html
  5. Sound on Sound says RME UCX Headphone preamp is 'very good'. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/rme-fireface-ucx
  6. I have the UCX and I just split the output. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068O56 My RME also has SPIDF, so I sometimes zip a feed across the room and split from my slave device there as well. That give ms 4. The RME Mic Pre is top rate. You don't want to use anything less unless necessary. Now, if you're running a studio and everyone has to mix their own headphones, the do make something for that, but that's out of my league. No one who visits me would ever figure out how to use it. Now, it is important that the headphones reach the couch. 🙂 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HD9HP4--presonus-hd9-hp4-pack-headphone-amplifier-with-headphones My friends in groups mostly can't be persuaded to don headphones. 🙂 They just play live and you get what you get. if I ever add a headphone amp, I won't rack it so I can throw it across the room. If you're close enough to the rack, I'll just split the RME headphone jack and use that. Don't forget you can run a feed from the UCX to your home stereo and use the headphone out on the home stereo too. Just a thought. You get 6 mono outs in addition to the 2 used for the headphones. I don't usually use all 6. Sometimes. The only people I could imagine complaining about the headphone amp on the RME UCX would be drummers with hearing damage trying to crank it beyond control, duck taping the cans to their heads to squeeze out more volume. Any regular human will be all set.
  7. If it is midi input, you can record the same midi input on more than one track. This way you can route the same part to an array of synths.
  8. My rme interface works with everything. In Skype, there is a drop-down for selecting your Mic input. Does your interface show up there?
  9. Make sure all music you are exporting is selected. Ctrl+a selects all.
  10. The software i was describing is called wirecast. I thought it was made by Google but maybe not. I have a version that was free with watermark and 50 usd to remove the watermark. I'm not sure this version is still available but i didn't read too closely. They are trying to sell much more expensive versions with features i don't need.
  11. The app will record or live stream so you can practice by recording. I have no issues. I use another app that records the screen and cam and mixes them. Microsoft expression. The two streams are off by a quarter second idk why.. For that one you cannot perfectly match sound to both.
  12. I loopback on my rme ucx. I have the spidf in plugged into the out. I send whatever to spidf out and that is what streams. There is a YouTube streaming app... I set the spidf in as the sound source. In video the sound can follow the video by a few milliseconds but it must not precede the video.
  13. I love life with my Rivera Rock Crusher. This makes my amp so much fun to play with!! No second amp required. In the studio, weight doesn't matter.
  14. Even Noel has come to recommend avoiding 3 for the time being.
  15. If you go to the oldest CPU setting in the config file you will notice you are pegging 1 CPU when you get the crackle. Up over 80% for a single CPU will do the trick. The modern CPU stuff doesn't really change this yet. But it does hide it by spreading the load across your CPUs. The easiest way to deal with it is to choose a patch with lower overhead (requires less CPU) or turn down the voices for your current patch. Concurrent voices dramatically drives up the CPU cost of the patch. You could also raise your processing ceiling by increasing your sample buffer for your interface.
  16. Yep. I can't find anything in theme editor or anywhere else that would help you.
  17. It's possible for a midi track to use a different key than the overall project key. You can totally set the key for the track. Optionally, you can have it force your notes to in key. You can right and left click drag notes to accidentals. People who are fast are super fast. Prv is hugely developed and awesome imho. I don't think I understand your problem at all.
  18. Bounce to clips commits trims to the tracks bounced to clip. This is something I regularly use when I'm splitting up a 3-4 hour performance into individual tracks. I do this by splitting all the tracks on either side of the song and then bouncing them all to clips. Now when I copy to a new project they are as small as can be. If I don't do the bounce to clips step, the entire tracks (3-4 hours long) are copied to the new project but it only displays the one song. This makes the size of the wave files unnecessarily large. It also takes longer to paint wave-forms for the tracks.
  19. I'm sorry Keni. BTW, if you got it at Sweetwater you might try their tech support.
  20. I would expect it to work. How can the device tell the difference? It takes in the midi and relays it. Idk though. No proof like trying.
  21. No. I can think of a way to do this without power. Midi supplies a tiny power drip. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MIDIExpand--keith-mcmillen-instruments-midi-expander?mrkgadid=3301332467&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=studio&recording=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046938536191&lid=92700046938536191&ds_s_kwgid=58700005285190824&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=467439732702&product_id=MIDIExpand&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid={product_store_id}&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid={loc_phyiscal_ms}&creative=280136033989&targetid=aud-297527862610%3Apla-467439732702&campaignid=1465808290&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjw1cX0BRBmEiwAy9tKHlX_AD_9BylvLFetZ3twJM-nXGdvpGcS0asuWlONQYxrLfokt1FP7xoCcNIQAvD_BwE Idk if this is any good.
