  1. Are you portable? You might try to record your mic somewhere else and see if you get the same amount of noise. It could be that your mic cable is working like an antenna.

    Depending on where you are, it might record less noise. This would at least be a clue to the issue. If that is the issue, a shorter, shielded mic cable should catch less noise.

    I think this tends to be more of a thing with guitar cables, but still, you could check.

    I'm guessing you just have a noisy mic on a noise pre amp and you are like, hey! what's with the noise. One way to reduce the relative amount of noise is to play louder when you record. 🙂

  2. The iChing is the book of changes. I got this image today.  I thought it was interesting. 

    This is tantamount to me sharing a horoscope. I just thought it was cool. Like those start up tips that are built in to cakewalk. 

     

    When, at the beginning of summer, thunder - electrical energy - comes rushing forth from the earth again, and the first thunderstorm refreshes nature, a prolonged state of tension is resolved. Joy and relief make themselves felt. So too, music has power to ease tension within the heart and to loosen the grip of obscure emotions. The enthusiasm of the heart expresses itself involuntarily in a burst of song, in dance and rhythmic movement of the body. From immemorial times the inspiring effect of the invisible sound that moves all hearts, and draws them together, has mystified mankind.
    Rulers have made use of this natural taste for music; they elevated and regulated it. Music was looked upon as something serious and holy, designed to purify the feelings of men. It fell to music to glorify the virtues of heroes and thus to construct a bridge to the world of the unseen. In the temple men drew near to God with music and pantomimes (out of this later the theatre developed). Religious feeling for the Creator of the world was united with the most sacred of human feelings, that of reverence for the ancestors. The ancestors were invited to these divine services as guests of the Ruler of Heaven and as representatives of humanity in the higher regions. This uniting of the human past with the Divinity in solemn moments of religious inspiration established the bond between God and man. The ruler who revered the Divinity in revering his ancestors became thereby the Son of Heaven, in whom the heavenly and the earthly world met in mystical contact.
    These ideas are the final summation of Chinese culture. Kongfu (Confucius) has said of the great sacrifice at which these rites were performed:
    "He who could wholly comprehend this sacrifice could rule the world as though it were spinning on his hand."

     

    Makes me think of the super stars.  Jerry.  Lennon.

  3. Sorry to read this,  Dave.

    I have kinda two circles.  I have one bunch of musician friends on the wagon... and the bunch that isn't. 

    I could see where the fact that they don't mix that well could be a bummer. 

    I hope this proves an opportunity to upgrade. 

    ✌ 

  4. My wife and i had dinner with some folks. 

    Later we were talking about them and i kept describing one as the old guy. 

    She pointed out that he is our age.  

  5. Might not be your problem. It's just the only thing I've had happen that causes the symptoms you describe. It isn't resolved be detaching the midi input and re-attaching. You have to figure out to remove the mapping here in preferences.

    It was a complicated thing I've talked to Noel about. I think he was trying to think of ways to make it work intuitively but also not hose you up....

    I personally think a message at the time you map the midi input to a track that is also mapped to a controller that says 'this isn't going to do what you expect and here's why...'.

    Then users who want to fix it can just unmap the midi controller.

    Now if your case is some other thing I haven't bumped into ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... don't know how to help with that.

    Lots of us have midi controllers we sometimes use. Noel wants it so that when you plug it in, it just works and doesn't have to be remapped all the time.  This makes sense, but you don't want the input to randomly take a midi input that doesn't go to the controller.

    If the input and outputs are set to your midi device then you will see the meter jump but not be able to trigger your synth. The data will only be used to drive your controller. 

    It's kinda a confusing thing. I do this a lot and it confused me for a long time b/c I sometimes add and remove controllers then don't understand why midi ports don't work.

    I think setting the ports to none (as seen in the screenshot) make it so that you can use the inputs for synths or other things.

    Then if you plug in your device, you can map your inputs for your controller to this. It used to be (a while back) that it would auto default to your midi input and output to save you the trouble of setting it. This works fine unless sometimes that isn't the input for your controller.

    Cool?

  7. other daws create auto fades on clips ...

    One of the reasons windows doesn't is so you can split a clip and have it mated with the other and it flows smoothly from one to the other. 

    So, I like it this way. I do have quick keys to auto add fades to clips. An example of when I need this is when I create clips around a drum track so the mic is 100% muted except when the drum is hit. After creating the clips I auto add fades to the clips.

    Anyway. 🙂

    It's the type of thing that could be in the preferences where you set it to always auto fade clips.

  8. I think shift z turns on auto expand where you can set all tracks in focus to one size and all tracks not in focus to another size. 

    The alternative allows you to set every track to a different size.  The big benefit of this setting is you can double click any track to make it fill the screen. 

    I don't ever lock track heights myself.
