Hi Guys I am mixing a track at the moment where the drummer gave me all the individual drum lines of the drums on different tracks .. bass, snare, hats, overhead etc I know I can just add each part to separate tracks as usual, but I was wondering is there any better way of organising these drum tracks? I sort of was thinkig could one use the take lanes for this .. keeping all the separate drum part tracks as sub tracks of a main track .. ?? Or just leave well enough alone and put them on all separate tracks This is more an organisation Q really

K .. all I am saying is older versions of PS or likes of PS elements, in my view, is trumped by AFFINITY PHOTO. The ONE OFF price also being a no brainer - €27.99 at the mo. This is not a sub, this is all it costs one off. They regularly update it and I reckon you wont need any other photo software program. As for usage .. you have used PS elements etc before, not a huge learning curve tbh + AFFINITY have some fab vid tutorials. Its also compatible with PS file formats etc. So at this price of €27.99 at the mo being in the market or not is an aside .. its a case of snap it up, well worth it

@abacab You should really give AFFINITY PHOTO a try which has an inbuilt RAW editor ( Develop ) in a tab ( Check the Full RAW Development section at link below ). I am in same boat as you - amateur and dont make cash from my photos, though a keen photographer for a long long time I am. Using FUJI Mirrorless cams for ages, love them, the retro look and form. At mo still using a FUJI X-E1 https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/#buy At the moment its half price @ €27.99 .. absolute no brainer.

So if one was to say buy 2 of these .. which ones worth a punt?

Not anymore @Alas De Tortuga ... looks like UJAM dropped off the freebies on that Compeition: https://marketing.loopmasters.com/p/6D38-6BG/global-producer-challenge-participants-pack

Mmmm .. I wonder about this tbh, doesnt look like anything you could not do with a number of plugins you might already have?

@Steve Patrick @Noel Borthwick THE BACKGROUND: When I exported a mixdown to wav .. at end of mixdown my headphones gave off a shrill multinote whistles like a hearing aid and the mixdown wav was nothing else but that noise . I narrowed it down to the NIMBUS plugin added to the FX part of tracks in the project .. SO: To bookend this ( I also set up a recent new tread on this unaware this already existed - Good news @Hidden Symmetry my workaround seems to work. I added the NUMBUS to the drum track CLIPS and not in the FX, Buses. I then exported to wav and this time NO shrill sounds, mixed down perfectly

Good news @Hidden Symmetry @Noel Borthwick my workaround seems to work. I added the NUMBUS to the drum track CLIPS and not in the FX, Buses. I then exported to wav and this time NO shrill sounds, mixed down perfectly

@Hidden Symmetry I wonder would adding Exponential verbs to the track CLIPS vs the FX, buses etc solve it then??

Hi Guys, Doing mixes of original material at the moment with band. Working on project and using NIMBUS for reverb on a number of tracks. I decided to mixdown the track today via export to wav .. all well until it got to the end of the export to wav when out through my seinnheisers came a shrill multi whistle tone even without the track playing, to stop it I killed the audio engine temporarily but put engine back on and noise back. I listened to the resultant wav and it was nothing but 4 mins of that shrill sound. I investigated and eventually noticed at the end of the wav export when the shrill sound was there it was peaking the tracks with the NIMBUS plugin on them as an FX. So I disabled the nimbus plugin on all there tracks ( 5 ) AND low and behold, next wav export was perfect but no reverb so I used an alt verb plugin instead. Just wondering if anyone else ever had this issue. The shrill whistles were similar to sound from hearing aids

The Advanced Guitar Series: Mandolin sounds Very Nice BTW ( $48 then do the 50% off ) So from a guitar person like me the Mandolin and the Advanced Guitar Series: Steel String seem like good bet. I have the Advanced Guitar Series: Guitalele already!!

When you say " geared towards specific genre's" .. its still all acoustic drums vs say electronic? I know i will check them all out ( TBH I already have XLN ) .. but just in case you have done so already

@cclarry So difference tween BlackBird v Zeus v Ragnarok?

I sent them an email earlier about this. Just got a reply: Thank you for contacting 8dio support. These emails were resent out to a variety of our customers due to an error in our emailing system, which we are working to resolve. As a result, we also recently sent out a 50% code for all affected customers, which I have attached below: xxxxxxxxxxxx Rest assured your account is still secure, and no additional purchases or charges have been made. Please let us know if you need anything else. Best Wishes, 8dio Support So if you have been affected by this it might be worth a try to send them a mail that you got an errant email from them and get a 50% voucher also ..

@ZokZTM OK so you got an email saying discount and also saying "Thank you for purchasing your watermarked < whatever product >." "Your request is currently being processed. We are doing our best to expedite your order" For a product you bought ages ago? Just checking in case its some sort of HACK although they dont seem to store credit cards in your account ..

When you say same here do you mean you just got a 10% coupon only OR Did you ALSO get this think of a "recent order" that you didnt order recently but bought a good bit back?

Only recent email I got from 8Dio gives me a 10% discount coupon. It says "Thank you for purchasing your watermarked 8Dio The New Forgotten Voices Cait." "Your request is currently being processed. We are doing our best to expedite your order" Strange thing is .. I bought this back in 2018

Yip .. But then MPC Beats is available free for all anyway from the Akai site. The extra MPC Packs however are the thing to get off the BEAT mag if you use MPC Beats, not the easiest piece of software to use TBH

Fixed the post title for you

Have it .. thats from the MARCH Issue of BEAT Mag

Off you go .. any of the links above sell online and ship ( though some may only be within IRL ) That 8 DEGREES beer is mad stuff. As i mentioned they have huge variety with crazy flavours. One of them is "sour"/bitter .. very unusual, but I love it "full on bitterness with a deliciously juicy citrus bite" https://www.eightdegrees.ie/beers/citra/ @bluzdog But then you have this too - https://shop.westcorkdistillers.com/ie/irish-whiskey - the real stuff

Yip @mibby .. as I said I am also partial to the IPA craft beers especially at weekend .. helps creativity sometimes Here in Ireland last few years the craft beer indie micro brewery's have really taken off. And the pandemic has really brought them into there own via ONLINE PURCHASE and Delivery of cases of these beers ( mixed or same ). Few of them have also gone GLUTEN FREE ( for my wife in this case ) like a brewery near me called STAG BAN ( White Deer in Irish pronounced stag bawn ) https://www.9whitedeer.ie And also the 8 Degrees craft beer .. mad flavours .. yum!! https://www.eightdegrees.ie

Yip me too when music-ing .. big into trying different "craft" type indie roasters Joe along with my utter fondness for indie craft beers particularly the IPA ( India Pale Ale ) variety

@PavlovsCat I decided to bite re your comment about coffee over in that other thread So .. from Ireland and available online .. some real nice bargain JOE From my home town ( Cork city ) - https://corkcoffeeroasters.ie/shop/ and https://badgeranddodo.ie/coffee/ Then from Waterford - https://coffeehouselane.ie Tried all these and get them weekly, yum Here is a nice list of top Irish Coffee Roasters all available online - https://thegloss.ie/the-five-best-irish-roasted-coffees-you-can-order-now/?v=d2cb7bbc0d23 So .. specially for you @PavlovsCat And of course post good ground coffee available online from your area .. Why not, because when we are creating music using CAKEWALK surely cups of Joe are also involved

So a Q: Scaler 2 vs ChordJam
