Ah, thanks! I thought I had borked something up. 🙂

PS- I realized it is Re-Worked M-Spec 4 theme, not M-Curves... but still wondering why I am seeing this.

Is there a reason I'm getting a spectrum of colors in the start screen, instead of the black background?

Channel Tools maybe? Cakewalk - Cakewalk Documentation - Channel Tools plug-in

I was updating a family member's machine this week (W10 Home) and the latest feature update got locked into spinning ball mode after the "restart your computer now" juncture. I physically powered it off and back on. The update assistant advised that the install failed so I did it a second time... installed correctly, no problem. It seems crude but the off switch worked this time.

While this feature would enhance your particular workflow, it would be a nuisance for anyone who works at the same SR most of the time. I suspect that is the majority of users.

In pre-digital days it was like milking an old piece of gear you knew was going to fall over eventually... parts were oft times unobtanium lol.

Pro I like to install upgrades on my own schedule.

Thanks for the response, msmcleod. I'll go on using the IK one in its stead, which I have.

So is there no way to utilize the demo then? I did not claim it previously. Just now downloaded the demo from CCC.

I downloaded the demo version of CA-2A using the command center. Being as I did not buy Sonar versions when it was offered, is there a way to authorize it so it is not in demo mode?

I like it!

Edited: Thanks Colin. I used that .zip and no funny business. Thanks again!

Okay I want to try out the Theme Editor. During the setup it is asking me to assign an image editor. I tried browsing to Paint 3D but cannot find it. There's a suggestion to download some Pain.NET but it's some dodgy crap thing that tried to install a bogus browser on my machine and I had to end task via the Task Manager quickly. WTH? What are you other folks doing to get past this step in the install process without compromising your security to sketchy third party stuff like this? I am frankly surprised CWB would suggest something that tries to back door a browser install.

Make sure you have the 64 bit versions. Back then 32 bit was the norm.

Is it a 64 bit version?

One of the forum contributors in the oldie days, Jonas Aras, created a template that routed everything this way.

I must be the exception. Upgraded to 2004 and working smooth as silk.

It's good that you are referencing a variety of commercial tracks to judge how well you match up. Especially ones in similar genres. Gain staging from start to finish is the heart of the matter, always has been, always will be. Yellow is the new red!

Free Gain by Sienda/Sonalksis. Dead simple, and it's free. https://www.sonalksis.com/freeg.html

It's about learning. Next time, make sure your incoming signal levels leave lots of headroom. Yellow is the new red.

BFD3 has presets for all of the Roland kits and most others too. "Mapping" is a one click thing. I would assume Superior and the other popular VSTIs do, too. Maybe not Session Drummer though. I would recommend a step up to a more fully featured drum VSTI.

I'm leaning towards the triggers. Probably will use moon gels anyway so not too concerned about any damping effect. I'll let you guys know how it works out. most likely will be closer to summer.

I can wholeheartedly recommend one of the fellows from the old Cakewalk forum, Jonas Aras. He was conscientious and delivered a great result at a fair price. http://audiorecordingandservices.com/

I have the paid-for Essentials, will try it out. Obviously a highly isolated kick or snare should work better. Overheads would probably be difficult if not impossible with a monophonic algorithm. Re. Drum Replacer, I think that is a simple canned sample and not the multi-sampled 256 velocity layers full monty like you get with BFD3. Doesn't sound very sexy....
