  1. I just Googled "edit midi file bulk" and got a few hits, but only one possibly claims to do what you're trying to do (that I found, anyway).  I won't link here because they are using a self-signed cert that throws an error, but the name of the software is Canato.

    I've never used it, but I did navigate to the site and I don't see any malicious software being downloaded.

    You might want to check it out, but be cautious.

    I would recommend the TRANSFORM  tool in the velocity pane of Piano Roll View. -you can set the selection box to " grab " only the ranges of the errant kicks and push or pull just those chosen notes to where you need them. This lets you keep the notes as played timing wise. If you want to kill those notes then right click the mouse and select from upper right to lower left to select just that range of note ( the box highlights in blue ) and hit the delete button. It's very fast and intuitive - once you've done it a few times.

    I should have been clearer in my OP.  What you're describing in the second part is exactly what I'm doing.  In the velocity pane, if I have  "Show Velocity on Selected Notes Only" selected (so that I am only processing the kick drum notes), as soon as I right-click in the velocity pane, all of the velocity representations disappear.   If I proceed with the selection (blindly), then ANY notes in the PRV above will be selected--not just kick drum notes.  I'm thinking this may be a bug.

    I'm doing this to reduce clutter while trying to leave ghost notes/feather kicks, so the transform tool isn't exactly what I need.

     

    The method msmcleod posted above seems to work.

  3. I am trying to delete some notes that were entered by an overly sensitive kick drum controller.  I'd rather not have the drummer play the part again.

    What I thought I could do:

    • Click the kick drum "note" in the PRV
    • Select "Show Velocity on Selected Notes Only"
    • Right-click and select everything below a certain value.
    • Delete

    It looks like it will work, but if I'm using the smart tool, as soon as I click the right mouse button all the velocities disappear and it selects all notes (not just the kick drum) that are in the selection field anyway.

    If I switch to just the select tool, the velocities stay there, but it selects all notes as well (again, not just the kick drum)--even though I've select only the kick drum.

    Any ideas?

  4. I've searched the modern forums and I do not see anything helpful.


    There is an old forum post similar to what I'm experiencing:  http://forum.cakewalk.com/Solved-Staff-View-font-issue-Replaced-TTSNOTEttf-m3285422.aspx

     

    According to that post, the problem was the missing TTSNOTE.TTF file.  I've searched for this font and it's ttf file on my computer and it's completely missing.  Any ideas?  Did Bandlab not acquire the license for TTSNOTE.TTF?

     

     

     

    EDIT:  I found my old Sonar Platinum installer and installed it on a different computer, grabbed TTSNOTE.TTF and installed the font on my DAW.  The problem has been resolved now.  Still would like to know why TTSNOTE.TTF was not installed by Bandlab's version.

  5. I back up nightly (technically at 3AM) to a Drobo (https://www.drobo.com/) using Acronis (https://www.acronis.com).  I include all working directories (documents, samples, audio, video, pictures, etc.).   Once a week or so, on a different computer, I manually run a sync of my backup directories on the drobo to AWS S3  (https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)--I used to have a script that did it, but it's only as reliable as my remembering to check that it ran anyway; it's just as easy to launch the script manually.   

    Regarding your issue with cloud storage;  If you only have a copy of your data at your house, even if it's in multiple places, you're screwed if your house burns down.  I use S3 because I know the storage is in the U.S. (virginia to be precise)--and it's CHEAP!   It takes some getting used to, it's not nearly as pretty as Dropbox.

    I used to try to keep a pristine image of my DAW using Acronis True Image so that I could just restore it without having to do any installs.  I always had issues with the image getting so out of date that I'd have to reinstall almost everything from scratch anyway.
