I was thinking the same thing. Your plugins are great!!! I could help make some of the vector stuff for you. What is your preferred vector format?

Are you using jump shapes?  Jump shapes only apply their value at the time they hit a node - anything in between effectively means "no value". 

No the envelopes are pegged all the way across the track. The nodes are still there from my edits, but the envelope it in the ceiling. I still haven’t figured out how this happens. Still trying to figure it out. It ends up happening to several tracks simultaneously sometimes. 

I just had to post one more time. 
 

Just wow. I figured this would cost hundreds. I was shocked. Thanks again Fleer!!

What does Bapu say - got it! The only thing I don’t like is that when long sustained notes decrescendo, the vibrato should lessen. Otherwise very good. 

Fleer - I think what bothers me most about this is the vibrato. The vibrato on a flute,  is not tremolo only, like in this library. That is what sounds bad. A flute always has pitch change in the vibrato. The air pulses hard and soft for the vibrato and creates the tremolo. But the fact is, if you blow harder the pitch will slightly rise and so do the formants. This patch has a GREAT tone. The recording is stellar, but the vibrato should probably be redone.  By the way, I’m still looking for the perfect vibrato plug-in. If you know one let me know. I will certainly check it out too. 
 

Wow, I had no idea about you being flautist.  It can be a beautiful instrument!! Thanks for the heads up on the DIo Claire flute suggestion.  I’m headed there now to check it out.  
 

I guess I should pm you. I did some flute recordings and the mic was WAY to close. I got too much air and the tongue air attack was really loud and bad. I have tried every compressor under the sun, with no luck. I was going to get the demo of smart DeEss to see if it would help. 
 

Thanks,

Max

Normalizing might not level tracks if their are any high peaks in the tracks. If the songs are kind of level with no big peaks the mp3 level might help. Like John said there could be problems if it contains dissimilar information or loud peaks.
 

like John said again why would you use mp3s?
 

Automatic leveling is just guessing. The ear is the only way to adjust them correctly.
 

This contains  a compressor and a limiter. This is 2 processes the help “fix” those peaks. After this is done the  normalizer will process the files making it a little more accurate than a normalizer alone.

Did I say it’s Free? You should give it a try!

I gladly offer my contrasting favorable opinion. And I’m a flute player. Love playing this one. 

I play flute and many other instruments. Of my many life jobs, band director is one of them. What do you like so much about this one?

edit- do you have this in a song we could hear?

I have a bunch of OTS. They are all REALLY GOOD.  This new flute sample set is NOT up to their usual productions standards. I was so sad, because, I have been looking for one for a few years.

Press the letter a to turn articulation track off and on. Sometimes it’s v for video track off an on.  

I use a lot of super glue in the jewelry business. I alway score any flat metal surfaces. It can triple the contact area if done well. Then again I use a .22mm saw blade. The thing I don’t  like about those skinny little saws is that you definitely cannot sneeze and it’s better to hold your breath when you saw lol. 

Itzastudio

it would be better to make a template than to do save as.  Save as might references a bunch of audio files unless you completely empty the song out before you do the save as.  Templates and FX chains are important to learn and use. They will jump start you song creation process 

It only saves audio connected to the version you save as. If you have an earlier version of the song, the audio files of the older version is not saved unless they are part of the save as version. Same as does not copy audio from older versions. Only the audio files associated with the save as .cwp. If you are on version 20, version 5 could have missing audio clips and might not open properly from this folder. 

Only one warning about Save as - older projects might not open if their audio is not contained in the current cwp

Man, you guitar guys have it made. I just can't figure out where to engrave my Motif. I guess I could just carve little letters in the keys, so I could find which notes to play lol.

Wow, that lettering is good, but that cat is great. Bitmaps are tricky with a laser. I have used CorelDRAW for years for this stuff, and I know how tricky bitmaps can be. Did you use the software that came with the laser, or other graphic program?

Oh yes, when you get ready for that diamond to put in the cat's eye, just let me know. I probably have a few, lying around, you could have. I could probably find some stone that would be the color to match the actual color. Just let me know millimeters size you need.

MIDI MIDI MIDI - You got to love it!

Some over budget - But I love this mic -> Mojave MA300-MA200 series  - I know it's not a guy singing, but a good demo of what it can capture. 200=$1000 300-$1300 (Religious Content Warning) Nice how it sits on top of the SM7 later in the video

Just tell them you study at the international BLCW school. You are currently in rolled in the plug-in school and your teacher is C. L. Deals.

These are some of my favorite reverbs. 

This is a thread on Viramor’s plugins.

There is a ton of free stuff!

Like Promidi said the filter dialogue is very powerful. To be more picky about which notes are changed you can use the filter dialogue. In cakewalk you can use edit / Select by filter. Choose the velocity range then I usually select process / scale velocity by a percent to keep all the notes individual velocity ratios. I have used this several times t tweak note velocities. There are many possibilities with this filter. 
. 

I do think the csmulticompander will do what you want with a couple of movements of the sliders. 

This is the best way.

Look at his other midi FX they are great.  He checks in here from time to time. You will love all his FX’s

Yes I have found a bug. It has to do with export. It seems that some envelopes get pegged after an export is done. I’m not sure all the details yet but I am sure export is causing it. I’ll try to look and figure out more. 

Sometimes I want 2 or more tracks. Like kick and bass. The unmute works well for this. 

I also use solo 10 tracks, mute same 10 tracks.  Then I unmute what I want to hear.  

Razorlame is a GUI for the lame encoder. It is a free batch wave to mp3 program. (It can do a bunch of codecs)  It requires Lame encoder to work.

I couldn’t find the direct sourceforge link

Here are links to 32 & 64 bit versions

This is actually video software but works on a few types of audio files. Three great features. 1 it’s free! 2 It will do 40 songs rather quickly. 3 It is pretty good at what it does. 
From the web - it is not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three.

I should have said 4 great features #4 It is super easy to use.
 

You should give it a try!

Have any of you guys ever had a song you saved, and when you reopen it all the volume or gain envelopes are pegged to the top?

What key  combination could cause this?
