Was your autotune a permanent license or a subscription? Can you use it in a new project?  If you need to edit them before this is resolved, just open in the safe mode. Hold down the shift key, then click to cwp file. Answer yes to all but autotune. Yes I understand. should Be able to open and edit it. Be sure to save under a new file name to preserve the original song file. 

I have always hated articulations! I'm much better and faster at just playing staccato or legato. How many articulations can you have. LOL! For some things, you do need articulations. 

I don’t know about 4. They have a trial you could get. I have been upgrading since v1. Even though I have never used them very much. I think smart limit is the one I have used the most. I can’t decide about this upgrade. They did add some un-masking in this one. That might be nice. Only $29 but I still need to think about the other 3 I bought that I done use lol. I would at least get the demo. 

Yes I pull it up sometimes, but I just want to  look down and 6 or 7. I don’t always scan as soon as I add a plugin, so there might be one more than I remember. I usually get coffee while it scans lol.  I have a shortcut to the scan log.

Like a configuration entry?

I have the Abbey Roads ,CLA, Ocean Way (which I liked the best) and Acustica stuff.  I tried each because it was the hype of the time. I didn’t use them very long, and haven’t used them in years. So, is VSX different enough to even consider?

Yes there are improvements from time to time, and bug fixes. Bundles like Mercury are always adding plugins for free. It is the best level to buy into waves, because of the WUP cap. This makes the WUP upgrade less than $1 per plug-in. Even with my meager income this is a bargain. As far as I know, waves are usable  in any DAW you might think to use.  Any studio that is descent will have waves plugins. I have some plugins still at v9. Must be time for me to WUP. That’s 6yrs no WUP no problems with mixed versions.  Silly me I still use to Q10 released in 1992 lol

Bandlab who would have thought of this. It does work and it is free. 

I tried for years to copy Eq curves from songs I really liked. I bought something  from steinberg 15+ years ago. Since then I probably have 10+ others that I have tried.  Stand-alone s from way back to Harbal! Good luck finding one that would exactly match your song. This does not work. There are great alternatives. Mcompare and ADPT Metric AB.  Both have good and bad points about them 

 Melda = It’s best feature is silence till volume match. It’s great!  There are probably enough slots. Being able to mark songs to auto level each time you select them is a super nice feature (with a short silence). 

Metric AB = More song slots, filters to listen to high, middle, low Freq separately and compare. Easy selection of chorus, verse, bridge. It takes too long to match and you have to click the match every time. Layout is better. Lots of extra features!
 

I love Metric features, but auto Volume matching is very important.  Up to now computers can not do what your ear/brain can do. You can take either of these tools, load a song with a great snare in it, listen-compare. With moderate audio skills you can get very close to the that snare sound. (Excluding when there are serious masking problems.)

Do a trial on Metric AB. I think Melda has trials too. Let us know what you think.

aren't showing up in v15. I've tried manually uninstalling those two and everything else

I read that some older plugins were not in the V15. (I thought that was odd????) There was a note - it said you could download older version on top of v15 if they were missing after your install. Sorry I don’t have the link.

I've heard  UADCapitol Chambers is similarly excellent but isn't such a resource hog.

It is lighter on the CPU than Abbey Roads. AR is way different than Capital Chambers. CC has a deep rich sound and is very tweakable, more than AR. I like it for some things. Probably more likely to use  CC on vocals. In UAD I use the Lex 224 more. Oh yes,  I still like AR better for drums if the cpu is not too loaded down at the end of a project.  ? I am kinda new to CC 1yr.

All they need to do is add the happiness knob. Turn left for minor keys turn far left for chaotic nonsense. Middle for a major minor balance. Turn right for happy more right for giggley then far right for  ecstasy.  Turn it off for piece and quiet lol. 

Wow, if I had a little cash, I could save $14,000 on sample libraries  ?

I haven’t WUP in ages. I have v9,10,11,12 plugins. I think I will WUP one day. Just not sure if it’s this one.  If I wouldn’t have bought VX Clarity DeVerb the other day. 

I have used EAC. It works very well. 

If you like knobs, you should google Full Bucket. They have a bunch of great free synths!

One great option is a Spotify subscription. The artist at least get Pennie’s! The quality is a bit better and the best part you can download them. You could get a bunch of songs in one month!!  YouTube is a great backup. 

Yes $150-250 per year rent for RVNC. Looking for good free virtual desktop app to use with Sonar, Sonobus, and a windows/iPhone-iPad connection.  Wow just thinking, wouldn’t it be great to have that built in!

It worked so well. With SonoBus you could hear everything in the car. With the addition of RVNC you could edit it while you listen in the car. Or from anywhere you have internet or  WIFI.  Hey John thanks again for Sonobus. It is great! If I was Meng I would be looking into this. 

I have been using VNC then RVNC for years to login to the studio computer and adjust a volume after listening to a mix different places like the car. John Vere introduced me to Sonobus. It is super! Now I can actually mix in my car or another  room.  It has been nice to be able to do this. RVNC just shut down all the free accounts. So, I am looking for a replacement for it. I have Anydesk installed, but I’m not all that happy with it. I also have NoMachine installed. It is about the same. Any of you guys have a free remote app you like? Need windows and iPhone/iPad connections.  I also have Teamviewer and I like it but they have closed down my free account twice  so….

Any free suggestions would be great. 

Yes select several midi notes I like using the piano view. Then use the process menu. Select  velocity put in 2 numbers like 120 then 75. Click the magic button “percentages” This is great to save the natural volume variations of a human playing the notes in, but also allowing crescendos or decrescendos to be added after the performance. 

There are several ways to do this - here are 2 more!

1)[audio or midi] Easiest-You can insert a volume or gain envelope on the track  

2) [midi] process | cal - this is a programming language built into Cakewalk which is very powerful and has many different premade scripts. 

I used Mixroom and Bassroom a few years.  Mixroom is good for an “auto” Eq plug-in. I’m not sure why I don’t use them any more. I guess is because I went back to FF  proQ3 for clean EQ. 

I got mine reported and files uploaded. Read back thru this for the information you are looking for. 

I still think it could be the speed of the slopes. Could you send a photo of the one with the slanted envelopes you tried? I know you need to get on with the project.
