Great sounding plugin. Love the Air band. The widening sounds pleasantly different .

Sorry -John is right - I forgot it was USB - I have the older model with midi outs.

I love Samplitude for burning and mastering CDs. I used Sound forge, Wavelab, and Samplitude, back in the day. Sound Forge and Wavelab seemed best at small audio edits and converting bit rates etc. I still like the object oriented design of Samplitude for making CDs.

*without creating a new instrument and copying midi into that.. I usually already have extra tracks set up. Nothing wrong with copying to a new midi track. I usually record several tracks then point them to the Drum instrument track to audition them. Glad you are getting close! Not sure why of how much latency you have. Low quality midi cable could cause data errors and slow things down a little. Also the length of the cable makes a small difference (Not much but some)

Not just two, but you can do splits inside splits, inside those and so on. I did 5 levels of splits parallel and multiband inside of parallel - multiband splits - just to see if I could. Don't know if it has a limit or not. I'm sure the limit is my brain tracking the audio paths.

Echo on...... Yes this would be nice. Nothing fancy, just a good basic notation. Not like S1 where you have to bounce stuff back and forth.

I don't know that much about the TD25, but it looks like it already has a midi device built in and accessible VIA USB cable. https://rolandcorp.com.au/blog/recording-v-drums-masterclass-td-17-and-td-25 You should be able to record just fine from here? Q1: So do I use an instrument or just a basic midi track? (not certain I understand the difference) There is no actual differenct - it is only about how you look at it. I like a plain and simple midi track. No VSTs, No VSTi's Listen to TD25 with one headphone and the Laptop audio other ear. Or use a mixer and route both to some Monitors. Q2: Will all the different triggered notes map to the right drums when I move to EzDrummer? And what's the best way to do this... just copy paste? There will be nothing to copy and paste. Just midi. Once it is recorded you add the EZ Drummer VSTi and point the Midi track to it. Q3: Is this the best/right approach to reduce or eliminate latency while capturing midi (don't need the audio) from my Roland Drum Module? It is the only good way to do it. I never had much luck with ASIO4All. Better luck with Q4: To improve/simplify things - would a Midi interface device (hardware) between the TD25 and the laptop be of any help? Or since I already have USB direct out of the TD25, will that make any difference at all? Not sure but I don't think it would make much difference. TD25 already has midi. Q5: If dedicated midi hardware device would help - does anyone have recommendations for Midi interfaces that work well with Cakewalk and Roland Drum Modules? I like MOTU products. One thing, though- what a lot of people perceive as MIDI latency is really audio latency. Which is another discussion altogether.

I have a MOTU Fastlane and Roland drums. All you have to do is just listen to the audio and record away! Midi card does not affect latency - mostly the audio card. If I am looking for low latency, I usually bounce the projects music to a single track. Then open it in a new project (No plugins). Add the midi track and record. I also have a MOTU Express 128 that I also use. Not much difference between these when only recording a single midi track.

That's odd. I just did a test. It looks like MIDI does not stick. They just need to add it. They must have missed it.

I have been using it for CD burning / Mastering since it was called - Red Roaster. Great program!

Do you use patchworks? I was looking at it and Cantabile last year for a live keyboard setup idea I had. I didn't even realize what all it could do! Thank for the heads up. Just watched some tutorials - Patchwork looks great! Does it do multiband splits? And does it do splits inside of splits? Those are a couple of things I really like about Waves. Bad thing about waves - no 3rd party -waves plugins only, what a bummer. Thanks! Max

I little knob would be nice. I have been using Waves Studio Rack for this. In this Shell like-plugin you can multiband, wet, dry and pan all installed plugins. (Bad part- It only supports waves plugins). May be someone else will write a generic version of this. Yes this can be done easily on a Aux track or even better use use a send to a bus?? The easiest way is on a bus. I usually have a ton of buses in projects. Not just reverbs, but saturation bus, several compression buses for parallel compression. The project I have been working on today has bus AA (#27) Maybe they could add a knob for us in FX Chains, a mix knob could be added to the assignables - That would work. Multiple routings could even be set up like in Studio Rack. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.35.html

Wow what an interview! I always loved #10. I have always thought it was one of your very best pieces.

What software did you use to make the video? Thanks, Max Arwood

mibby-I am demoing the Melda MDrumEnhancer. I thought is was a drum replacer. It is not like & not like Drumagog which is a drum replacer. I really like the MDrumEnhancer. I think it is a little pricey but It is very deep. I use roland pads and SD3 for most of my drums. MDrumEnhancerdoes allow me to get even closer/faster to what I want than any other method. Still debating it.

mibby - Great sounding mix!! I have used Drumagog 5 for years. Don't know how it compares with Melda. Just watched the promo video Melda look great!

I don't have many plugins from PA. Which ones can you recommend? I have the basics and them some, but always looking for that something special! The only one I have bought from PA was Sandman Pro. It is Great!!

https://www.imoxplus.com/site/index.php For you wind lovers - Rudy has an upgrade for us!! If you don't know this wind software - you should. One of the very best VSTis for wind synths. Very playable. Some great clips by Eli Benacot and a few others. Upgrade Free Price $195

Hi Heinz Thanks for the AUTOHOTKEY scrip! And the backup part. Very nice.

Usually people do this in the piano roll by hovering the mouse over the velocity bar and click drag up or down. Or by drawing a velocity curve in the velocity pane of the PVR.

I don't know how I thought the third party instruments menus knobs etc came from LOL!

Thanks for the link - ZincT http://www.musicez.com/countryrp.html Lots of info here!

Under the Pencil tool - Hold your mouse on the little triangle at the bottom right side if you hold it down the menu will appear with 8 drawing styles. The default is free form, but can be changed at any time. I don‘t think there is a option for the default if that is what you mean.

I think a train beat is a series of 2 - 4 note groups. Two groups of four to a set - The 1st group the 3rd of the set of four notes is accented. The second group the 3rd and the 4th notes of that group are accented. Also they have a slight swing type feel to them.
