Yes, Thank You!!!! I was getting ready to do a search in the CbB PDF to see if there was a way to enable the interleave in Track View ????

I'll check their site. Thanks ??

I'll check to see if Focusrite has an ASIO driver because my software won't play the audio with the Focusrite driver currently installed (not at home so can't look at my DAW PC). Thank You. EDIT:I called Focusrite Tech support (they are the best I've ever seen). Told the tech my DAW was CW and I had to switch drivers to hear what was correctly recorded by CW. He advised that since I don't have a pair of speakers plugged into the Scarlett Solo that this is what happens, it's not a driver issue and their is no other driver for me to download that would correct it. So, long story short, I'll just go get a pair of speakers. I don't see an interleave (Mono/Stereo option) in Track View box, only in Console View (not at home so can't look at my DAW PC). Thank You.

The acoustic I'm using is an old Lyle from early 1970's, so, it doesn't have a pick up. The weird things I noticed last night regarding this Scarlett Solo: 1. in track view the acoustic guitar which was recorded by mic, in stereo on left channel only, cannot be heard during playback after I changed the driver back to asio from focusrite so i can hear all the other non-mic recorded tracks unless, in console view, i change the interleave from stereo to mono, which then plays it in mono (the left channel shows fine on the meters in track view and console view but needs the focusrite driver to be heard....?). no problem, that's acceptable. 2. i decided to use the Scarlett Solo's right channel which is Direct Injection (electric guitar plug....no mic) to record some electric guitar. This played correctly, on the right stereo channel. 3. so, what did i learn???? this is a never ending battle between humans and technology....in other words, business as usual lol!!!!

outstanding....great writing, playing, recording, arranging....morricone, herrman, "pictures at an exhibition", bernstein.... Thanks for the music ????

outstanding ambient sci-fi....Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune if they were songs this would be one of them....i love sci-fi....before i got into CbB and recording a month or so ago i listened to podcasts by Sean Carroll who i'm sure you know of....if not, i'd recommend his podcasts as he covers a wide range of topics including black holes, string theory, quantum physics...to quote from his site: "science, society, philosophy, culture, arts and ideas". Here is a link: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/ Thanks for the music ?☀️???

overall, very, very well done....production, arrangements, sounds, mixing, vocals...the crunchy guitar reminds me of Porcupine Tree, who, if you haven't heard of, may want to give a listen to...hope it's ok to post a link to one of Steven Wilson's pieces (mod's please delete if not allowed):

yes!!!!that's it....i tried panning the track right but it wouldn't as, i now see, it's the whole stereo left channel....many thanks ????

very interesting listen....i like it....film score use for sure (a touch of elfman in there i think....)....my nerves are too shot to listen to that style normally. To quote Lee over at guitar-chords.org.uk : "Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian all have a major flavour. Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian all have a minor flavour. Locrian has a diminished flavour and this makes it a bit unstable sounding which is why it isn't used as often". you really captured the essence of the Locrian mode....well done

the scarlett solo is set up to record on the left or right side of a stereo track or both at the same time....so, it is a stereo track....on playback it's only playing on the left channel....the scarlett set up is a 3 pin live mic plug in for 1 (Left) and guitar plug in for 2 (Right).....so, my problem is i want to use a 3pin live mic on the 2 (Right)....i wonder if the scarlett software will let me swap them????.....i will check on that and post back....thanks ?? edit: not at home so i can't check the scarlett....called their tech support and left a message for a callback. edit: wow, that was quick....so, per focusrite tech support the solo inputs can't be swapped by software....he recommended using the DAW to get what i'm aiming for: a recorded by live mic acoustic guitar on Left and a different recorded by live mic acoustic guitar on right.

very nice....really enjoyed that....Jobim lives!!!! ????

excellent....love the pedal steel and guitar solo....rockabilly will never die ??

Been a Beatles fan since 1967....the music is excellent in creating the mood you wanted as are the vocals, really like the singer....the playing, percussion, riffs and production are all great....it's just, imho, the music is not in agreement with the lyrics...which is, i assume, exactly what you wanted. so, as a long time Beatles fan i would pass but this being the 21st century the zeitgeist is not what it was 54 years ago.

I recorded it that way as the scarlett has only one live mic jack....thank you for the info ???? also, wanted to do different effects on each of the two channels.... edit: looks like the easiest way is to use Channel Tools to swap the tracks, then i can go back to the track and record another left channel....thanks very much again ??

overall, excellent. pet shop boys meets frankie goes to hollywood. i would use this version as the album track and do a tightened up edit for radio. and, the video is excellent as well....early mtv

Greetings. I got a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and used it to record, on a stereo track, acoustic guitar on the left. What is the easiest way to copy that left channel and paste it to the right channel?? Or, just copy the left channel and paste it to the right channel of a new stereo track. I did a number of searches on google and here on the forum but didn't really get a useful answer. TIA. cheers

i finally figured out how to get CbB to work with the Minilab....so simple once you know how....the latency was screwing me up as I'm used to things opening immediately....so, on to the music....????

As of today, September 15, 2021, I'm in the process of creating a mix for the stuff I've added to the original Boss RC-5 .wav file which was imported quite easily into a CbB project. Managed to add some synth's (the Minilab mkII and CbB I-Strings) and percussion (CbB I-drums), re-did the EQ for the original file and pondering another guitar overdub of some kind (acoustic and/or some treated electric). I can't list all the things I managed to learn in the past few weeks....quite a bit....but one thing I never anticipated is how important the final mix is. Achieving a really delicate and pleasing to the ear balance of all the tracks. Also, the realization of how each instrument has its own set position in the audio spectrum....which limits what other instruments in that audio position can be added. ........cheers!!!!

Very nice. Enjoy very much.

Very nice job. I think you succeeded in reaching the groove/feel you wanted. Could have been on the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" soundtrack. Conjures Dick Dale/Ventures/Shadows memories and a relaxing mood as well.

Greetings. I've been diving into the DAW landscape (CbB, Audio Interface, MIDI controller keyboard, cables, microphone....etc....) for the last few weeks and, imho, the Creative Sauce series by Mike on You Tube is the best CbB tutorial series available. Here is a LINK to the YT page of Creative Sauce: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCESNxzJHzDnCIuRO0RhQLeA

I just got a reply from arturia minilab mkII forum: The user manual is there : http://downloads.arturia.com/products/minilab-mkII/manual/MiniLabmkII_Manual_1_0_7_EN.pdf To use it in your DAW, make sure Analog Lab is closed before launching your DAW so the USB-MIDI port is released. Then, in your DAW, select the Minilab’s USB-MIDI ports as MIDI input and output and use the usual workflow to route them to your plugins. Analog Lab itself can be run as a plugin and you should appear as such. Hope this helps.

ummmmm....i think i figured this out....minilab comes with it's own preset plug-ins in analog lab 4 which are quite good....however, CbB and minilab are not set up to communicate this nor, apparently, allow CbB access to the plug-ins....i guess....who knows....the arturia minilab tech support forum website is a joke....almost a month of unanswered questions....i had a feeling it was going to be like this....?

Greetings. I am just getting into my Arturia minilab mkII midi controller. Never played any keyboards, acoustic nor electric before in my life. In other words, I'm about as ignorant as they come when it comes to this Arturia minilab. So....my question is I am running it on Windows 10, 8gb of ram, 3.4 processor....and I open CbB to record a preset synth track from arturia analog lab 4 I get this from CBb when setting Preferences/midi/devices: midi device failure. the following midi port(s) could not be enabled. the ports will remain unchecked in midi device preferences. inputs: device name: arturia mini lab mkII. reason: There is not enough memory available. outputs: device name: arturia mini lab mkII. reason: There is not enough memory available. So, my question is...seriously? 8 gb of ram isn't enough?? or, is this related to another setting i don't know about yet? I attached a sceenshot. TIA.

Thanks mark and Lynn. I did go to GC last Friday and managed to pick up three things: 1. Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface 2. Arturia Minilab MKII universal MIDI controller 3. a cable to run from a mic to the audio interface I found the YT Creative Sauce tutorials by Mike to be the best. He is the only one to mention the AISO driver I needed to get CW up and running. ****IMPORTANT**** The first Google return I got for a search for "AISO for all" was to a site that wanted me to give them $9.99/month!!!!! NEW USERS AVOID THAT CRAP.**** I looked a bit further and recognized a CNET site that had the dl for free. Installed and I now have CW, Scarlett and Arturia up and, somewhat, running. to be continued....
