Thanks I think I have used EZ Nashville a few times. I thought they were barely ok. 
Thanks all, I was hoping like 10 people should say why don’t you use “this” one. Back to the drawing board so to speak. 
 

What are your favorite brushes For EZ Drummer or SD3?

Hey John, I just wanted to drop back in on this thread. The reason is that I just want to thank you for putting the link to Sonobus in this thread. Once I finally got that thing set up it works really really well. Thanks to you, I can now listen to, and mix in any room in the house. Or should I say, any room in any house in any state in any country. I pair Sonobus with RVNC. They work great together!

I have had this happen a few times, but not with just Omnisphere.  I have had tracks that would just not freeze. And, yes the ports were all set up properly. I had a large project where after saving and reopening, all the ports were shifted one slot. I haven’t had much time to play with this to figure out what happened. I was going to freeze a few tracks then delete delete the top one while leaving it frozen. Save and reopen it to see what happens. 

Someone said there are no 32bit converters. Me I got to google everything lol.  Check out Mytek - True 32 bit integer. It guess this is future proofing your  recording, and emptying your pocket book simultaneously.  Wow 384kHz /32 bit integer. Now some math guy - how many bytes per minute does this thing use 😊 and how many empty 0’s are in my files per minute?

John thanks for the Sonobus idea. I downloaded Sonobus. It did not work out of the box so to speak. It needs ports open or something like that to communicate. It would be great if I can get it working. 

My solution for many years has been Samplit2. I also have newer software called SampleRobot. I like the simplicity of Samplit2, but they both work great to copy hardware to Kontakt files. Most of my favorite sounds have been sampled. Both softwares let you chose how large/detailed file you want to make. If you don’t know about these you should look into them.

Thanks, John, I was thinking about something like this. I was going to try FarPlay. Have you tried it?

I don't remember it, but I must have set up shortcuts for Lyrics etc. Page 624 in the github docs might help some.

There is a floating toolbar, you can use in the staff view. Press the mouse roll wheel. 

Playscore2 free 1 week trial scan to MIDI or XML (unless you are working from handwritten scores)

There is another one for iphone I have used it some, but I can't remember the name of it.

Cakewalk can import XML

Windows version

You can do a lot of scores in 1 week! You will probably have to do some corrections, but it's way faster than 1 note at a time.

EDIT ->

You might look at this one too - MusicReader - It has higher ratings

I was thinking that frozen tracks are already 32 bit why not keep them at this resolution to the end? Will it bounce as fast not having to do the extra conversion? Or, does it convert to 32 or 64 bit and then mix the track signals to the final bus in that bit depth anyway, and then reconvert to the final bit depth? 

Those are like alt-y

Thanks Andres!

I'm talking 44K/32Bit

Since I have a bunch of frozen soft synth tracks, I was wondering about the bounce bit depth.  The frozen tracks are already @32bit according to what I have read. Wouldn't it be almost as fast to bounce all to 32, because all frozen tracks are already 32bit

This way the synth and other frozen tracks are merged and copied, no bit recomputation. I can't hear the difference, but I'm sure there are micro differences.

Any ideas?

Silly me, that guitar jack is mono. I guess I am going to put a jack on each side of the wall. Any suggestions for a medium heavy stereo bulk headphone cable /  connection box or other ideas?

Whats your ideas?

Thanks!

I don’t know those korgs. Kurzweil added this with spiff in 1999.
 

I was reading here ->

It looks like several models can add a spiff card. That might be an option on an older keyboard  

I just read a Reddit forum a guys said korg doesn’t do much usb audio.  But I know that The korg Kronos has usb audio.

I looked some but this is 283 pages!

I didn’t find it. 
Good Luck!

With cakewalk you can open 2 songs at the same time. You can then copy and paste from the 2 songs. I think track templates are tracks without data. Not sure. Test it with a couple of tracks. 

Some USB connections can carry multi channel audio data. Check to be sure if your does this. 

I like clicking on a note to get the values. It is a big time saver!

I find it way easier to play it in and quantize to get the midi in cakewalk . An even better way to to scan it in. Their are some great music scanning apps. They work extremely well. (Unless it is hand written). If it is difficult to play, you could slow down the tempo and the play to 1/2 or even 1/4 tempo.  I have played in 100’s of 4-10 part songs. The good thing about playing them in (even with a mediocre performance) is that you could quantize 50% and still have something that’s not robotic sounding. You could use one of those scan apps for a 2 week trial and get a ton of songs in the computer. (They will be mechanical sounding). You could randomize them for a more natural sound. 

I’m looking for a different way to listen. I see some big studio guys with earbuds.  I want to do some listening that way. Bass is way fuller and different on earbuds. I want to move out of the studio too. I have an old EV guitar wireless I could put on the boards headphone out(if I can get the gain low enough- I think I have some transformers somewhere???).  I can put the receiver and hardwired buds elsewhere. I think I’ll try using it this way  and see how the quality is. Thanks for this idea! I’ll let you know if/how well this works lol! Oh yea and I didn’t have to buy anything!

I was concerned about latency. Is their one that has good drivers or are the drivers actually the Bluetooth t device. 

I was thinking about wireless. Do wireless earbuds have good and bad drivers?  Are most Bluetooth drivers the same?

i think one of the links on this page has the ins you want

I do what you are asking for. I have a cakewalk song with 1 track. That track has  5 sends to 5 reverb/ echo buses. 
When I save it as a track template and insert it into a song, it creates all 5 buses with each reverb/echo effect with all the plug-in settings just the way yiu want them. Also all the buses that those reverb/echo tracks use, plus the Main bus , Master bus and effects buses. All I have to do is just delete the track and all the reverb buses and sub buses and master buses stay and are ready for use. I have another with saturation buses that I am tweaking now. I have another with my version of a bus compression technic by Michael Brauer called Brauerizing.  It is my version of multibus, multiparallel compression technic.  I have also use a bunch of FX chains. FX chains can contain any vst, not pro-channel related at all. Some of my FX chains are just a Renaissance EQ and a  Renaissance Compressor. Some are complex like my snare with Pro-Q3, Rbass, Vitamin,  Kiive Xtressor, SPL Transient, Root One, bx_subsynth and Denise-Noize. I don’t usually use all these on every snare. I just turn them off and on, and tweak them till I like the sound.  When I’m finished I delete the ones that didn’t fit this song. I don’t just have one reverb bus template. For instance I have several reverb/bus templates for different styles of music. I have some with Elvis style slapback echo and some with Acustica’s Lemon set to super long echo. Some of those are so long I think they bounce all the way to the end of the next song lol!!! These bus/track creations is how you build “your” sound. This track/bus templates will save you a ton of work a stimulate your creative juices.  All this and we haven’t even talked about fancy routings that can be included in these with Aux buses and patch points. 
Then we have Cantable and waves Studio rack. Now the routing can look like a 10 story office building network  phone patchbay.
