  1. This is not about power supplies... I'm in Montgomery Alabama and I have been to The Lynching Memorial... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Memorial_for_Peace_and_Justice The Rosa Parks Museum which has this photo of the gear used to record his church sermons... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Avenue_Baptist_Church The plaque is on a stain-glassed window in the church. This has been an extremely moving trip.
  2. I believe he also modified/ designed speaker cabs
  3. Select all, click the ruler between the markers.
  4. Like others, i prefer separate projects for each song, but i do it differently. Here is why... If you create all the projects at the start, you have to do lots of work again and again. I create a project for the first song alone. Mix it... Then make a copy of that project, delete audio. Save and close the project. Go to the audio folder for the new project and delete all audio. Next, in the long project made during the gig, set markers around the next song, split, bounce to clips, copy and paste into new project. Now the new project has all the fx and fader pan, sends etc set up while mixing the last song. If i do this for all the songs and when i finish go back and do the first two tracks again, the result is a fairly consistent mix. This is an old video now, but it shows some of what i describe above. If you end up working in one giant project, the navigator view can be handy. You can also save a snapshot per song making it easier to get back to compressor and limiter settings used to bounce each song.
  5. https://owsleystanleyfoundation.org/store/ This is how. He bought the jorma one. Gave it a thumbs up.
  6. My bro says he has heard a bunch. Idk how. Didn't get that detail or haven't read the emails close enough.

  8. There are midi filters, but not mappers. You can already drag and drop plugins from the browser to channels. Ctrl drag between channels to duplicate with settings.
  9. Shift g takes me to the start of selected clip. Ctrl shift g takes me to the selected clip end. I think i set this up in preferences. Then just look at now time. I often use this to check clip fades and to add markers around a clip.
  10. Clicking the ruler while playing does the same. It continues playing.
  11. This is me looking at cpu in cakewalk.
  12. I use Melda MAutoAlign for this purpose. You can calculate an array of different off-sets to see which you like the best. This is the plugin I use most (maybe).
  13. I prefer expanders to gates. That way, if the threshold is a tiny bit less than perfect the sound isn't cut, only reduced a little depending on how high the volume got. This is more important with bands probably that are performing with the effect on. Still, it allows for a more forgiving mix... Easier to not include audible mistakes. Basically, you set a zero attack with compression applied when you are below a threshold rather than above. Might be worth exploring. It can also be applied live so the speakers hear it in their headphones... No look ahead required.
  14. Idk if that makes any sense to me, but maybe i don't get it yet. On lots of radio shows, the host's Mic triggers hard side chain compressors on the guests'. This guarantees the host will win a shouting match. It also trains the host to not accidentally talk over guests. You mention gating though. Gating and expansion are useful for suppressing noise when mics aren't actively engaged. To me, i would not side chain expanders. The gate should be 100% out of the way for the quietest syllable the user of the Mic speaks. I wouldn't want the gate off because someone else was speaking.
  15. Fleer, I'm a bit of a simpleton. 🙂 Years ago I picked up the Melda mastering bundle and I found many things to like. Several of the plugins became my most frequently used. MAutoAlign (I record acoustic instruments playing at the same time often and this is a huge help). MSpectralDynamics (There have been many discussions on this, especially Bit Flipper's article. It's kinda like a multi-band compressor that has a very deep threshold, low ration and is always on... mixed back with the original track to taste. MLimiter-MultiBand. These things were my favorites. I would sometimes use the convolution verb as well. From there, I grew to slowly expand my interests and decided to take advantage of the discounted complete. When you buy the smaller bundles, Melda will give your credit towards the complete based on what you have purchased so far. * MWobbler was also another early purchase I find amusing.
  16. I also bought the Melda complete bundle. Have you checked out MDrummer? Pretty cool. Takes a sec to get everything downloaded and working, but worth investigating if you haven't. https://www.meldaproduction.com/download/mdrummer-packs
  17. I have both and prefer melda.
  18. I've had mixed results. I got one that didn't work on arrival. Others that failed after a few months light use. Running drive and memory scans might help identify a dud faster. I agree they have usually replaced a part before shipping. Part of the question is what caused the part to go bad... If it was a manufacturing defect, it may be that they fixed the only bad part. If it was baked in the Nevada sun in the back of a truck for a week, there may be more than one thing wrong.
  19. What azslow is saying is go into preferences and set up your controller with the midi input of your choice.
  20. I use the auto save of versions. If i leave sonar on and idle, all my rollback versions become the same. Doesn't really matter unless it does. 😁 For this reason, i usually close it. That said, i have walked away overnight with it still recording... So I'm not perfect.
  21. Like the song Fred, you only have to have something in common with the prior post.
