It's a sad ongoing process I suppose. First you can't find them and then you forget you have them. I stand in support of nuts everywhere. Well ok, I only support my own, but have great sympathy for others.

I think you need to also download CbB...

Hi Jim, Thanks for bringing this up. I would not want to mislead anyone. Unfortunately it looks like Audio to MIDI begins with the Assistant version according to this MELODYNE VERSIONS I recently updated my Melodyne and the upgrade was only 49.95. I'm not making any promises here, but if you add your email to their mailing list you could possibly get a sweeter deal or can at least be on the list for promotions. I use the Editor edition that I bought on sale originally awhile back. I think the studio version of the program will allow multiple tracks. I would love to have it but the asking price is a little steep for me right now. FYI- If you right click on a stereo recorded audio track in Cakewalk there is a "convert to mono" choice. I always had an interest to try out Band in A Box. I hear it's a great program to work in. Just been too busy to look at it

The one on the right is a real dummy.

Madonna before makeup?

Hand to mouth disease?

It is my unprofessional opinion here that Mr. Squirrel has some kind of a blockage. I will be closely monitoring the trees above me from now on.

And eggs are chicken.............deposits. We sort of caught Mr. Peanut at a bad time. Probably should not have shown this. Thank goodness the paparazzi didn't get hold of it....yet. Mr. peanut has been caught in some other unfortunate circumstances...but that's enough said already.

Thanks! I am always open to any new ideas on how to best utilize this. The ability to do this is an amazing thing! Humming would work just as well. I like that I can take my very bad sounding violin signal and make it presentable with a few minor tweaks. The sky is the limit on what can be done really. I didn't add any additional expression into this or tweak any of the VSTi . TBH I'm probably not the best person for that subject. Maybe a subject you could cover in a later video? I usually stop at velocity and the mod wheel. Most of the time it sounds fairly realistic without any additional added tweaking.

I know most veterans here already know this. I made a video for a violin forum to show them how to convert a recorded track. I am posting this here for newbs. You don't really need to make a separate midi track. I mainly do this so I have a spare midi always on hand to work with. As you will hear, the track is pretty badly recorded and the conversion still picked up over 95% of the notes accurately. The rest could be edited in midi for correction. For anyone who needs to convert to notation, this is WAY easier than typing in entire scores to a notation program if you can play fairly accurately. If you know of alternate ways to do this or shortcuts to the process please chime in. Thanks.

I watched this last evening. I think I'm going to wait until Mar 29th to buy it. Better yet, wait a year and pay 20 more dollars. Maybe they will have more of the issues figured out by then. I don't make the kinds of mixes that would use a lot of this. So far he is having issues with a few of my go to synth programs. I don't wanna hear, it works with this and that but doesn't work with these. Presently a useful program for a few who have enough in that toolkit already.

Interesting mix of ideas! I might try to pull the drums in just a tad. Seemed slightly off here and there. More accentuated accents, especially with regard to the bass, would give this a more varied dynamics range.

The guitar is such a great instrument for self expression. These one on ones (vocal + guitar) can seem to come directly from the soul. The message of the song will likely resonate with some. I had a little trouble finding the structure of the song though I think the intended message came through and overall the vocals fit the guitar well.. The vocals could use some tuning or retakes here and there, they were off just a tad here and there. Not by much. Thanks for sharing!

I like this style of composition. You are very good with the drums programming and parts layering. Omnisphere is an amazing kit of sounds to work with. I love BFD3 as well. The music doesn't take any unexpected departures. Having said that, I think you do a lot with it! I thought the cymbals were just a little too much panned, especially the left cymbal channel. As a suggestion, maybe let just a little bleed through come over to the right channel for the cymbals. This would give it more space and still retain the left/right feel.

Well..........I guess I feel bad for the poor rabbits, but this is the process of life for some rabbits and the way of the omnivore. We all have to eat. I have eaten rabbit and liked it. No it didn't taste like chicken, but close. It just sucks being a rabbit or a chicken or a pig or a ........... Well chosen footage for the subject. I didn't feel that the musical "middle" was huge. I could tell it was there. Made a nice contrast from the rest. This would just be a nice listen all by itself.

Well so I did the speed read of the protocol and I agree it's exciting for sure. A few things I would love to see. A DAW control surface that instantly sets itself up to every control in the DAW, maybe a hub that converts some devices from midi 1.0 to midi 2.0 (I kinda doubt that one.) Way more than 128 velocity layers ( this one is likely). I am very glad I haven't bought that Komplete Kontrol yet......the grass is probably greener in this case. NAMM 2021-2022 could yield some amazing capable new midi gear!! MIDI 2.0 cerebral cortex implants are probably a few years off yet.

I'll need to read over this. Should be backwards compatible. Yamaha had their version of midi, Roland had theirs. Will this help to pull the standards together better? I'm a little afraid to look at it for fear my eyes will glaze over. I'll look anyways. If you don't hear back from me I nodded off.

I keep thinking about some of those old synths that bring a mint now and a few guitars I should have held onto....so I just started to hang on to my gear, even if I don't use it often. You never know what the draw will be to it in 10-20 years. A few of those VSTi users are drooling over something they can simply plug in, push a few buttons and play. You can still buy synths but they seem to be getting more and more flimsy.

My main format is .MOV as taken from Cannon cameras. The 90D is now switchable to a different format. My 70D still uses MOV. My version of Vegas would not accept those files. In Movie Edit pro on PC , MOV files are accepted. For video only MEP is a little easier to work with IMHO. Vegas though has VST scanning so you can use it like a somewhat clunky DAW for basic stuff. It's really a shame they couldn't combine the two programs. The high end programs want to get you on a subscription plan. I am not into that, so these make great alternatives.

Just an FYI I sort of found out about the hard way. If you're looking at Magix movie software, Movie Edit pro handles almost all formats. Vegas does not. I think Magix already owned Movie Edit pro when they bought out Sony. I prefer MEP over Vegas for handling various formats for this reason and a few others.

Dagnamit Bill, you had to make me think didn't you??

Oh you intended to type "process the sound" . I see you edited it. Tonespot has a less expensive express version HERE. Still a very capable plugin for less than half the price. M/S is short for mid/side which is a pseudo stereo mic technique developed back in the 30's. The same effect can often be duplicated using various plugins now. If you see "M/S" on a plugin and engage it you will hear similar results to the old M/S techniques. Incidentally, this can sound better sometimes than true stereo depending on the material. Cakewalk has some guitar effect chain presets created by Craig Anderton you might try. They should be included in Cakewalk.

And maybe a few cupcakes to follow !!!!!!!!!! ...................

You make an important point here. Most for money composers don't post in songs forums unless it's a few sample tracks. If you intend to present your work to a music library or sell it you probably don't want to post it there if you think someone might take it. Precautions can be taken, such as streaming from a website that you privately own or locking downloads on SC. Still no guarantees, but it's a chance you take. Playing devil's advocate here, getting the kind of mixing advice you can get from an experienced mixing engineer is invaluable. Getting that advice for free on a song's forum is a real benefit if you are mixing and mastering your own music. Sometimes it's valuable to get a composition idea that you might have never thought of. You can't really get that kind of advice anywhere else unless you go into a studio and pay for one single subjective opinion. It's up to the musician to decide if the advice might be something they could use. Many of these guys have nice studio setup with expensive monitors in treated rooms. I have tuned monitors in my studio, so I can give an accurate description of what I hear. A mixing engineer is still a mixing engineer whether they are payed for it or it's an expensive hobby. Musicians give the best advice on music to other musicians usually. Many musicians will post music before master for opinions. Most of the music is beyond reproach. Not much to nit about. Some of the people are beginners or just old guys who need to learn a few things (like me).....so the advice is helpful there. Thanks for your comments. I guess I don't much care. I am not smart enough to know how to market anything . I couldn't sell water to people in hell... Soundcloud has a way to post music for sale. I have that capability. I guess I should look into it, but my expectations are low. Film composers are a dime a dozen. It's mainly just fun for me. I need a bud who has some marketing chops. If left to fend for myself I would surely starve TBH I don't think most of those tracks are quite ready for prime time either. I worked with one vocalist who picked up a writing partner in Denmark or Somewhere close to there. They both clicked and so made an album. I seen it was for sale on my FB. I want to say they could live off of it, but I doubt it will fly that far, even though it is quite good. I guess this is how I see money for music in general.
