  1. This is exactly what I was referring to in my post above. Event list is what you need to use...
  2. I use LUFS now and rarely do I need to worry much about peak levels. All my releases in the last twelve months or so don't go over -1.0 dB Then again, I only release on streaming services. Haven't burned an audio CD for over fifteen years... So perhaps my input here is irrelevant.
  3. Hope you don't mind me chipping in here. I would be tempted to check event list view just in case the downloaded MIDI file has a patch change message in there. Cheers andy
  4. This is why this forum is in need of a hardware section. A good post like this, that may not necessarily be posted in regularly, but will always be of interest to peeps from time to time will get lost in the usual Coffee House stuff. And that is not a side swipe at the Coffee House by the way. Just expressing my opinion... Back in my cave now...
  5. I used to love Breverb. Upgraded to the full version shortly after SONAR introduced it as an effect. But then FabFilter released Pro-R and that is all I use now. Software wise anyway. I also have a couple of outboard effects that I use from time to time...
  6. Thanks for your large post there, @Starship Krupa, you make some good points. But if you are "tired of going over it again and again," why bother? Just stick me on "ignore" and stress not.
  7. So, the bottom line is, I should not be concerned that CbB is not a flash in the pan and despite being free is a good, solid DAW (SONAR) and I should simply embrace it (assuming it is able to cope with my hardware/software issues)?
  8. But for how long, and I ain't so bothered about the free thing. In fact, perhaps it is the free thing that is bothering me...
  9. I jumped ship, (which surprised me, being a Twelve Tone Systems fan boy for many years) to Studio One. Then when I bought a laptop with a hi res monitor, and Studio One couldn't handle that I jumped to REAPER, which I had purchased a license for about four or five years ago. But I am having trouble with sync'ing my hardware and software now and so am on the move again. Hence my visits to this forum...
  10. Blimey! Posted this, went to the dentist, went to visit my lad and bring him back here for a takeaway, watched a bit of telly, and we're now up to page two! So, if CbB is free, is it crap? I've downloaded and installed... I've now got to get my head back into SONAR mode having been using Studio One and Reaper since Gibson did the dirty. Looking pretty much like SONAR but I am very rusty. Got to update and add some MIDI instrument definitions. Got to remind myself of how to set up outboard effects sends/returns. Going to be a slow process, but needs must as the devil drives, or something like that (REAPER and MIDI hardware sync has let me down and Studio One has turned out to be a VST only DAW...) I'll try to catch up with some of the ramblings here...
  11. Yeah, why is CbB free? Is it just while it is in "development?" cheers andy
  12. It is highly likely that peeps who buy DG's guitars will not even play them...
  13. Hi I have been using eM Client for a few years now:- https://www.emclient.com/ It is worth doing some further research. I did some, but I found the amount of stuff available a bit overwhelming. At the end of the day I wanted something which was not connected to google, microsoft, mozilla, all that stuff and I think eM Client is not related to any of the "big providers." eM Client is free for non-commercial use and for up to two accounts. I paid the £30 one of payment just for the "VIP Support," although I haven't needed it yet. It is worth noting that although I use a client I do not have it downloading all my e-mails from my e-mail provider. This is an option, IMAP vs POP3. This means that if I have to I can still access my incoming e-mails via a web browser. My e-mails are only removed from my provider server when I delete them or move them from the inbox to a folder on my computer. cheers andy
  14. I'm still using a client because I like to be able to save a backup of certain emails to my hard drive. And there have been a couple of times when I needed access to an email when the internet was down. But that is a rare occurrence, I have to admit. My lad thinks I'm a bit daft for doing so and he is webmail all the way. I put it down to our age ...
  15. Same here. I rear ended a Chelsea Tractor on my motorbike. Comical really... Scrubbed most of my speed off and cracked the light cluster on the car. I apologised... Told that insurance that I was responsible and they told me off. That's how I know...
  16. yeah, can't stop laughing Thing, is, though, you are instructed by your insurance providers NOT to apologise at the scene of an accident. But Mr. Windsor did, according to the guy interviewed that pulled him out if his Chelsea Tractor, express concern for the other party. And if the guy who put me in hospital for six weeks, after knocking me off my motorbike in 2009, had turned up to say "sorry," my missus would probably have told him to feck off. You will also find that the police, in such a situation, strongly advise against contacting the third party. Anyway, Mr. Windsor wasn't driving:-
  17. An interesting video, albeit for REAPER:- And one about Gain Staging, which, for me, was quite an eye opener:-
  18. I gave up on thinking about physical releases quite a while ago. Can't remember the last time I burned a CD with my own stuff on it, probably early 2K. I upload all my stuff to Bandcamp as 24 bit wav and it is up to the downloader as to whether they download the WAV file or the 320kbps MP3 file. Bandcamp does the conversion to all the other file types, I just upload the WAV. Also, when I download stuff from Bandcamp I download 320kbps MP3 files because my hearing is fecked and lossless file types are lost on me. Regarding gain staging:- I don't worry so much about that any more, since moving to 24bit. The "noise floor" is so low, apparently, using 24bit that you can record much lower signals that what you would have done using 16bit. For 16bit recordings, gain staging, and faffing with that level to get it as hot as possible without clipping was quite important. So, that's why I would never, ever record in 16bit again. cheers andy
  19. Well, Christophe Frank was a third part of Tangerine Dream back when I first ventured into that sort of stuff. I try hard to emulate that but the reality is that my stuff is my own 🙂
  20. recording/mixing/mastering my "music" is not going to help it at all... Of course that's just me being negative so that you all go check out my shit and make a purchase. have a nice day
  21. Having reached over 6K posts there and received much help, advice and encouragement in the Songs forum, as well as the Hardware, Software and Techniques forum, I sure will miss that place. Oh well, out with the old and in with the new...
