Opening reminds me slightly of Fool's Overture by Supertramp.

There's a lot to enjoy here - all 12:43 of it 😊 - loved the vocals and harmonies as well as the guitar work. Must have been a lot of work - well done.

Andy

Thanks Andy. It was a lot of work and took months to finalise. It all started with a very simple chord change and a one line lyric my wife came up with.

From small beginnings.......................

This is very good - love the overall mix, sounds crisp - your drum sound is interesting - what did you use?

Love the journey through this - some great change ups and the Guitar solo around 3.45 was fabulous

Sort of a Pink Floyd Echoes feel to to this without being in any way derivative.

Very cool indeed

Nigel

 

 

Thank you Nigel

The drums were all from BFD. I didn't load one of their stock kits but built a custom one from various stock kits & expansion packs

Bit of a lengthy one

I have always been from the "mix on monitors, check on headphones" school, but this comes with a few caveats

• it will be very useful to treat your room, even if it's just the corners and mirror points
• 12' x 12' isn't ideal, being square. but make sure your monitors are set up at the correct height & distance from the rear wall and your head. Ideally  your head & the 2 monitor should form an equilateral triangle with the tweeters pointing at your ears. Avoid if possible having your head at the exact centre of the room
• Learn your room. Play lots of reference tracks at CD quality in a similar genre to your music
• When using EQ, always try to cut unwanted frequencies, not boost wanted ones
• Get your mix working in mono before you pan anything out to the sides
• Read up on Complementary EQ which will teach you how to "carve out" different frequencies for different instruments

There is tons more to it than that but it's a start.

I know you said in your first post that you've checked you haven't pressed the Pause/Break key inadvertently, but have you checked the Scroll Lock Key?

Using Ripple Edit is the best way to remove "dead" space.

Sounds like a sample rate mismatch to me. 

Freeze will convert your midi into audio, disconnect the synth leaving pure audio.

If you need to go back and change anything midi related, just unfreeze it.

Project Name is included by default if you go File > Export > Audio

And what is the output of the Master set to?

 I don't know what that means to 'Freeze' the midi tracks.

Freeze any synth by clicking the icon with the snowflake icon :

Not sure this is necessary. It seems since introduced many years ago the Windows protection system has been one of the least invasive systems to audio. There are just a few tweaks the recommend like disabling scanning Cakewalk stuff. But I've personally never tried that.  I most certainly want it working when I download free 3rd party plug ins and midi files! 

I would agree

In my experience, Defender is pretty transparent, doesn't intrude at all and is generally not a resource hog

It plays just fine with just an audio .wav

As John says above. Freeze your midi tracks before loading into the MS Surface

Playing the .cwp stutters when project contains both .wav and .mid files

This is what you said.

You also said it was fine when just ,midi

I asked what happens when it's just audio (.wav)

And what about if it's just audio on the MS Surface?

Yes, I agree with Lord Tim. Export as a wav first, verify that it's ok, the use that to convert to MP3

Thanks Jonesey...

This has been happening here ever since I built this machine. I don't understand it...

Graphics driver? Just thinking out loud...........

Not seeing this here Keni.

All obey the same logic as for other control-grouped controls

Check the outputs of your busses - where are they going?

It sounds like the reverb buss is going somewhere different to the others.

They should all be going to your Master bus and from there to your Interface/Main Outs/Hardware

You're asking a lot of your computer to be able to handle opening this many projects without getting glitches - which you are.

Please list your FULL system specs which will help

Thanks. I'll see if I can reproduce it. But you and @Max Arwood may be right. It might be that I exported before saving saving with the new track check. But at least I learned something new today, that no selection will include everything.

Can I assume that if nothing is selected and I have an archived track that it will not be included in the export?

Correct, any archived track will not be included

A reasonable price is what a given user is prepared to pay.

I wonder what OS will be supported?

My studio computer will not upgrade to WIN11 so I'm stuck on 10

Open up the synth

Top right hand corner there is a little keyboard with the caption "Give all keystrokes to plugin"

Just to be clear:

• Delete it from the FX bin
• Right click the clip you want to work on
• Choose Region FX > Melodyne
• Do your magic and then render the clip
• Save, then export

Is this a fully paid version of Melodyne?
