What Fourier claimed in 1821 (any function, whether continuous or discontinous, can be expanded into a series of sines) is applied in the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which is the backbone of digital audio. Technology Connections has a video which explains the theorem very well. But the point here is there's no new revolutionary way to convert and treat digital sound and it hasn't been for several decades already and it's likely your test has some variant you haven't controlled yet which renders you different sounds from different DAWs. What manufacturers claim as "improved sound" could be several things, including marketing BS. While you might get slightly different results which could be measured depending on circumstance, those are irrelevant if they're outside of the audible spectrum or too low in the noise floor. After all, music is a form of media made to be listened to and if you can't hear the difference, fundamentally there's no difference at all. This most likely happens because computers are not capable of properly dealing with floating point numbers and have to approximate the result.

And this is the reason Ardour/Mixbus is stuck in the past when it comes to other DAWs. That's the response the lead developer always gives when said feature is not something he uses or can find a use for and doesn't implement it because of that.

Only one person came up with the solution and everyone uses that solution. That person was Joseph Fourier.

I tested the plugin in Audacity and it opens fine there.

The best option to adding music to a video is editing it first, then rendering a proxy and using the DAW of your choice to add audio to it. Hopefully that DAW has video support.

One way I found of managing plugins is to make separate layouts for the bundled ones. One layout only has the Cakewalk stock plugins, another only has IK plugins and so on. Since you can easily change layouts from the menu as well, you have a little better control over a large set of them.

Waveform has a free version.

How does it measure against the similar products that exist in the market like Isone, Nx, DearVR and the other two I forgot the name? EDIT - So far, attempting to load this plugin crashes Cakewalk for me.

REAPER, Waveform and Bitwig all have native Linux versions. Fairlight is more made for audio post production for video. It doesn't do MIDI for starters, you can't create empty channels, the way you edit audio stuff in there is cumbersome.

Maybe IK will also have your tonex tone downloads expire after 180 days like all the stuff that shouldn't have that feature...

You also have to take care and make sure your mic cables are wired correctly, as phantom power could still get to the mic if it's not wired correctly. While Royer says their mics are not affected much by phantom power, they still recommend it to be off for mics which don't need it, like the R-121

After some strange coincidence, this happened.

It's important to note two things IMO: - Music is primarily a form of entertainment. - People are not defined by the knowledge they have, but what they do with said knowledge.

You have 3 times the amount of cpu threads and 8 times the amount of RAM. There's your reason.

Maybe Kali will come up with one of those soon.

And I did decide to install some Waves plugins to check a few things and now I see why I vowed to never use them. Not only is the installation process still confusing if you're not upgraded to the latest version of them where everything can be done at a click of a few buttons through Waves Central, simply loading WavesShell and having it running makes Cakewalk behave weird and freeze randoomly, on top of making my whole computer slower. And it becomes worse if you decide to load some of the older plugins, as they take several seconds to open and may cause Cakewalk to stop responding to the point you can't even end the task.

Ribbon mics are no better or worse than regular diaphragm mics. They're just a different way of picking up sounds. Most of them are figure 8 only and they have one glaring disadvantage: air pressure directed towards them could potentially destroy the ribbon element, which is very thin and delicate.

You don't remember they going subscription? That happened in 2015 when they were under Gibson.

One can only hope this update is not something like adding all the plugins and effects people have been asking for... But you have to subscribe to some sort of Bandlab guff to have access to it. Don't look at me like that. Cakewalk was perhaps the first company to adopt a subscription model before Adobe started the whole trend.

Both have things going for them and are in the same price range. But ProQ3 has two interesting things which makes it better: - Listen mode, which creates an EQ curve based on audio fed into it. - It doesn't require a CPU with SSE 4.1 instructions, which means it will run on more hardware.

They don't have to try that again. They didn't remove subscriptions. They just readded perpetual after external pressure.

I'm pretty sure it always happens but we never noticed because we tend to never look at the transport module, especially if we know the keyboard shortcuts to move around.

Without knowing more about your system and which plugins you're using, it's hard to take educated guesses as to what it could be. It could be anything from a quirky plugin to some hardware failure that started to show up.

While I can't say I haven't experienced this bug before, it seems to be more an edge case that would be hard to pin point. Depending on what you're doing, you can hold control after and it will still do the thing. It works for moving clips, but you have to do it before you start moving the clip, otherwise it just moves the clip you're holding.

Except that feature is not unique to ProTools. If we work that logic backwards, you'd be told to jump ship a few years ago if you suggested ProTools should have folder tracks or Plug-in Delay Compensation.
