T on Y

I guess your all screaming 'Bandlab' right now but whilst I had a look it wasn't easy t work out what I need ? Firstly, I'm just a guy who likes writing & recording songs for my own gratification and cant really 'Improvise/Solo' so I'm looking to find someone with better 'Chops' than me that can rattle off a solo. Whats the best way to go here chaps ?

So.….. Midi track output set to midi channel input in kontakt so holds midi data of notes being played. The volume slider of that track when at max only takes volume of Kontakt instrument to half way (Correction its 0db not -6). If you set Kontakt manually to desired volume it reverts back when play is pressed. The instruments 'Instrument' option allows that to be changed so CbyB slider covers the whole volume range (i.e. up to +12db) but the setting is not saved when the project is saved

When volume slider in CbyB is full its at -6db in Kontakt I know how to change it in the instrument options so that it covers the full range of the volume slider in Kontakt but have'nt found a reliable way of recalling it without saving the instrument in Kontakt which resaves all the sample and can take a while (seems a bit extreme) plus Im not sure it worked every time anyway. Am I missing something in Kontackt? Or is there a way of sending sysex, midi CC, Expeliamus spells, from CbyB to Kontakt to change the setting ?

Select a clip (or individual notes) and for the end of each note to extend or retract to the beginning of the next note I know theres a cal script for it but its clucky an unpredictable

There are of course the "Sonar Explaind' series that were released by https://www.groove3.com Whilst they wont have stuff that CbyB have added to the program (Ripple edit to name one) the vast majority is applicable, also from what I can see each lesson is named with the topic of the lesson so easier to home in on the bit your trying to remember

A Project that I started before the most recent update has a rhythmic audio loop repeated twice at the start of the song and now when played it is popping at the point where the loop repeats. If I combine the two clips using the 'Bounce Clips' feature its fine ? This doesn't happen if I use a new loop added into the project I'm sure I read about this recently in this forum and the fix was to update to latest version of CbyB but was unable to find it so cant verify that however as I'm running that latest version anyway ……. Thanks for your help (As a total aside this type of post is why CbyB have a 'General' & 'Q&A' forum as at no point above have I asked a question but have just described an issue with an implied request for help. I agree that they should combine the the two..... time for a 'Poll' perhaps)

Cool …. Thanks for the help guys...….

Just loaded an older project which is reporting that Channel Tools is missing and its a cakewalk plug in. Was this not included in CbyB ?? The same project also had boos 11 in it and when double clicked on loads OK but for some reason it was an exluded plugh in Reenabled and all ok but weird non the less

A fellow JV1010 user ?

Got several bus's set up with FX (Reverb Chorus etc) so that I can use the Effects Sends on a track to them The FX icons in the bus folders of the track icons are a bit bland and non descript Anyone know where I can get some others

Ah well . . . . . . . Looks like I've got some mucking about with plug ins in my future Thanks for taking the time to answer !

I Like the idea of this and will try it when I get home..... What about recording with a mic at the same time and blending the two ??

I've downloaded some Project tutorials that when loaded into CbyB give an error informing me which plug ins are missing I presume that the parameters used on a given plug in must be stored in the project somewhere... So say it was a compressor plug in is there a way of finding out what settings were used (Threshold, ratio, makeup-gain etc ) in the effect so that I could approximate them in a compressor that I do have ?
