Perfect tempo for the song. Really nice.. the production does feel a little light for the first minute. Then the lead moves lower and fills in th bass frequencies. And the drums come up a little and fills in the sonic space. Nit picking, really, but something to listen for. @

Very nicely done. Couldn’t think of any complaints. Clever lyrics.

Cakewalk account retrieval to access my products?
Alan Tubbs replied to Wayne Allen Jones's topic in Instruments & Effects
Bad expectation. I still miss my Komplexer synth. your best bet is to try to contact some of the old staff who have helped others. Do a search on Rapture synth demo mode should give you a name (s). -
Reverb/delay fx recommendations
Alan Tubbs replied to southcoaststeve's topic in Instruments & Effects
Black hole is one of my favs. there are also several new (granular reverbs out that that can produce textured backgrounds that are in sync and in tune. things texture, arturia Fragments and outputs Portal. -
Nice poppy tune. It might need some more space in the background sounds, thin them out to make room for the vocal. Just a little. And I would, at the end when the lead instrument comes in, thin out the rest of the tracks and fade them out by the end so all that is left t is the lead, which has a great texture. @

Nice groove when it gets started. I’d like to hear more. Nice keys work, too.

Not a deal: All Waves serial numbers must be registered by March 26, 2023
Alan Tubbs replied to Frank's topic in Deals
I’ve bought one wave plugin and wasn’t impressed. Besides, about 10 years ago they sent people around studios surreptitiously and if the studio had any unregistered wave products waves sued them. made me want to use their product for sure. Nice folk. -
Not normal. What compressor?

Previously working Rapture Pro now in Demo Mode
Alan Tubbs replied to Robert Bone's topic in Instruments & Effects
There seem to be some problems with dim pro and rapture pro. It turns to demo mode and won’t reinstate.. there is one fix which bandlab can do. Otherwise there is a long process that can help but that was thru cakewalk, too. -
You have to go to. The Bandlab site, register and then download your free cakewalk by Bandlab.

Great effect. Only regret is I paid twice that.

HardwarenD Shaping while recording makes it much easier to shape in the box or using external hardware. -3dB while recording means you can use another - 3 dB compression, making a gentler, more natural sound from compression than slamming it in the box or mastering. And the imperfections are part of the charm. The best engineering of vox I’ve ever done was gain riding an la2a itself during the take. Glorious saturation while controlling the volume. Cant do that with software, I think, tho there may be work arounds. the most interesting bit of kit I’ve bought lately is the RND Orbit summing mixer. It is transformer coupled on the outputs. Running a hot signal thru the output shows exactly how much a transformer (by Rupert Neve) can sweeten the sound. Once you hear it you can’t not hear it. To my ears software solutions are great for precision control of vol for comps or surgical cuts for eq. But if I want mojo on a channel, it is hardware. and as for pro mixers who are in the box, one often forgets their tracks have been recorded in pro tuned rooms with expensive hardware . They already have all the analog magic built in.
-
Sound forge can do that. Separate program, not a plug. Check to see if the cheap version (when it was a sony product they had a sub hundred version, I don’t know about magic).

WA tone beast, WA pultec and a Burgin McDaniel’s Komit compressor/diode limiter (the original hand made versions before Radial bought out the design). When you drive the Komits clean compressor you can get beautiful saturation with the limiter.

Allen & Heath ZED 10FX MULTI TRACK INPUT
Alan Tubbs replied to Jonny Sunday's topic in Instruments & Effects
You need to start a new thread for a new problem, but … not having the A$H, I would see if the pan separates the outputs, but many usb mixers just give a stereo mix. Then check the manual. A pretty basic question.- 6 replies

Make. Sure you are plugged into a mic input, first thing. What interface? And remember there are several layers of mixers to deal with. First is the interface mixer. Then cakewalks.

FYI, the Orbit is 16 a channel input summer, not console. It only runs $2K. It does have 2 separate stereo outs, but the alternate outs has a transformer that is -6 dB down so that is driven harder. Again, if you’ve never heard a good Neve-tuned transformer, it is really revealing when your music passes thru it hard. I’ve heard but never worked on a 5088. It is about par for big boards price wise with a full pre/eq section. The RND Sheffield channel strip alone is 4 grand. Even the orbit is expensive. A 16 channel summer shouldn’t cost over a grand but 2 custom transformer plus the silk options add up. Top notch components and parts cost but makes for long lasting equipment.

Nice. Can’t wait to win the lotto I don’t play. I’ve got the Orbir and it does give the big console flavor. And if you want to hear how a musical a transformer can be, drive this unit. The transformer just blooms your sound.

Kontakt shows up as my latest version of the software. Older versions have the # following.

Probably my fav guitarist. He never lays too many notes. A space in time is a perfect album and cirickle wood green almost. And he seems to have the most fun of all the performers at Woodstock.

Glad you made the jump. And yea, I would expect the interface will give you a much better sound stage to work with. Sound cards use about a dollar’s worth of components.
