@Greg Wynn, do you connect Axe FX III via MIDI or USB?

Hey Panu - I remember you back from the Duckbar days !

USB.

Guys I have an AxeFX III and use Axe Edit all the time.  I’ve not had any issues but would happy to assist if you’d like to see how mine is setup.

I also have an NVIDIA vid card (I think a 1650 ?) and am running two monitors.

Resurrecting an old thread.

Has anyone tried this with plug-ins that have been invoked via Audiogridder ?  I’ll experiment later today with this (specifically Acustica Audio plugs) and will report back here.

Cannot confirm, but I have seen odd mouse behavior and my Axe-3 Midi device continually 'not available' message while edit is up.

will monitor.

No issues with my Fractal A3.

In fact I just laid down two guitar tracks.

I must have confused it with another DAW I use, which when using the command Ctrl + A selects only the clips!
Anyway, I found out through tests, it would be nice to inform if this would be the option to indent all clips, after all, nobody knew how to inform that this would be an option,
I just saw attempts to kill the subject as if it were something normal [like always happens], and I ended up discovering on my own that I did have a possible option.

Anyway, thank you all for your attention, excluding of course the arrogance mixed with sarcasm tones! 😉 

Well if it’s any consolation you definitely helped me

Oh yes, I get it. When I select everything with Ctrl + A, the part with no information is also selected, which prevents the clips from being moved. But if I have more than one clip on each track, I'll have to select them one by one if I want to move them, or is there any way to select just the clips without having to shift the selection bar?

I also ran into this recently but I don’t think it has anything to do with the Early Access as I’ve seen it earlier.

Any chance we can fix this so that if I do a CTRL A and want to drag everything to the left (like in the video) I can just easily do it without having to worry about any time selection ?

Two things are odd.

1.  All of my levels on an existing project were set to zero.
2. My recording properties when recording over an existing track track changed from sound-on-sound to comping.

Rolling back for now as I'm mixing a bunch tonight.

Thx as always, guys !

Thanks for the info. I have long assumed that the .cwb format was deprecated and not recommended, but good to know it works well when needed. 👍

(I was going to say that about reliability, but you beat me to the punch and also proved me wrong. 😉 I love to be wrong, that way you learn!)

No worries, man.  I always wondered why people were so negative about it.

A few days ago I worked on a tune we did in 2008 - all saved as a cwb file and with the exception of some missing plugins everything worked flawlessly.

Just out of curiosity, what's the use case of saving in the old .cwb format?

Portability.  I collaborate with people literally around the world (and have through the years made them Sonar fans) and its much easier posting a .cwb  on an ftp or sharing site for them to retrieve to add tracks, make production changes, etc.

I've been using cwb's (and their predecessor bun files) for 20-odd years and after thousands of projects only had one cwb go bad - and I'm 90% sure that was user (me) error.

This is as intended and been that way for 15 years. Bundles compact audio into a single file and it's not compatible with audio snap edits

I can confirm that this message is new for me as well.  I don't use Audio Snap - never have - and I now get the same message when saving as a cwb.

Not a show stopper to be sure just odd.

yep !  I'm still able to open cwb projects from 15 years ago.

I was feeling experimental so I tried the High DPI Rendering variable. It definitely looks better. So thanks for that.

Bandlab integration seems to work well. I love the Tempo Track.

This is a very impressive update. Great job Bakers.

Where is that variable ??  I keep looking but can't find it..

Thx !


EDIT - Found it in the release notes (OF COURSE  )

No worries

Actually I'll stick with the older Reworked version.  Us musicians/producers are an odd lot - aren't we ?  We don't like change sometimes

I have the older Re-Worked M-Spec 4 (LOVE IT) but the new M-Spec 4 now has green buttons instead of blue ?

Not a biggie...

Thank you !!

Ya, the naming convention is confusing as hell.

But  this is a good breakdown https://justpaste.it/AcusticaAudioAcquaMasterList

So I’ve been a UAD, Waves, Slate, Plugin Alliance (as well as the usual suspects) user for a long time. But got the itch to try some of Acustica Audios plugs and WOW !  I started out with “Camel” (the names are odd but this is based on Trident and Calrec hardware) and was immediately impressed. Then yesterday I demo’d ”Pink4” (API) and again WOW !  Also “wow“ is the download - it’s like 10 gigs.  Now I’m demoing “Sand” (SSL) and holy shit it’s awesome.  HUGE download on that as well.

The massive downloads are because they download ”libraries” - I don’t fully understand it but that’s how they’ve modeled the hardware vs algorithms (I think).   Luckily I built a new studio computer earlier this year (i9 9900k, 32 gig RAM, all M2’s and SSD’s) because even with that kind of hardware horsepower you can tell these plug-ins take some serious power to work.

Anyone else have experience with these ?  BTW - on Cakewalk by Bandlab they work perfectly.

Thx everyone !

I also need to hear it with vocals

Wow !  This is a HUGE list  !  Looking forward to digging in to this and again a huge shout to @Noel Borthwick for fixing the buss pane graphic odd thing we ran into.

Thanks again Bakers !

Yes, Sir ! All me...well me and  Superior Drummer 3 as well

And thank you !

In queue for vocals.

Thanks folks !  This’ll be the first song we are doing remotely as my singer moved from the DC area to Buffalo.

Thanks for the kind words 😊
Often the quickest way to get to the bottom of a problem rather than sending endless messages, is to observe it and do tests directly on the users PC.
In this case Greg had an issue that he had reported here and on facebook where he was getting crackling when moving his mouse only over the bus view.
I had some other customers over the years report issues like this but since this was a more specific report I thought it was worth investigating further.

He has a modern I9 and the project wasn't overly complex although he had a lot of cpu expensive plugins. I was unable to reproduce the issue even with his project file so I did some analysis of the code that is affected by mouse movement on buses and spotted some obvious inefficiencies. I did some optimizations to the hit test logic that makes it use a lot less CPU. After I sent a build to Greg it appeared to completely solve his problem and he is able to run the project at 128 samples now with no artifacts on mouse movement or scrolling.

The strange thing to me is that despite having fixed it, I believe the original issue to be a system specific problem with one of his drivers. MOTU, UAD or the NVIDIA driver. Its hard to say which one caused it, but load on the UI should in general NOT affect audio streaming on a multi-core CPU since the audio engine runs on high priority threads that are not gated by the UI. IOW the UI can be 100% busy and you shouldn't hear artifacts. The only way the audio device would get blocked is if somehow this activity blocked the audio driver at the kernel level.  Whatever the cause is, I'm happy that the improvements addressed his issue and the fixes should improve performance across the board as well!

 

Thanks again, Noel !  It was an absolute pleasure talking and troubleshooting with you !
