Starise

For the record.......this problem happened using the older ST build on several other DAWs, so this isn't an isolated Cakewalk thing.

I have had similar issues with a few VSTi that use the mod wheel for volume and/or swells. When I record the track I also record the volume via the mod wheel. When I come back to play the track it doesn't read the mod wheel. The only way I can make it work is by moving the mod wheel at the beginning of the track. If I don't do this, it won't see the control and I won't have volume. Also works if I take the mod wheel cc# out of the track, although then I no longer have the volume or swell control.

I got this from a local motivational person who holds get away groups (for a fee) to sit around and talk about all of this stuff. She isn't a musician type, but is a creative type. Once designed costumes for theatrical work...this might be coming from a decidedly female approach if there is such a thing on this subject. I attended one of her groups and I was the only man there. Felt really out of place. She sends out these group emails....mail chimp or similar. That's where I got that list from. Motivation and creativity are two different things. I have motive to create but have been in a slump lately. A lot of that is simply lack of time. I'm making music all the time, just haven't been "creating" music. It's difficult to tell someone to "get better" when they're sick or to "get motivated" when they just aren't feeling it or to "get creative". One thing this person said that made a little sense was not to hold such a high standard to your creativity. It's the process that is fulfilling even if not much seems to be coming from it....so I sat down last evening and started something. Had no idea where it was going. Still don't. It sounds like something that could be something and that made me feel good. My standards are such that I'm not happy with the end result of 3/4 of what I've done. I like the process and then work to an end result. Don't look at me for an example here. I just do what I do. If you don't start you will never start If you don't begin you will never finish. If you begin don't forget where you were. Take notes if you have to. I am not a notes taker. For me, If I can't come back to it at least two or three times a week to work on it, then the project eventually ends up in the pile forgotten. I simply hate projects that drag out over months and really can't endure that. I'll just go to another idea rather than torture myself over something that isn't happening. It's in continuing the process that I think keeps me going. One mediocre idea might have taught you something you can use for a better idea later.

I like the "upbeat" feel to this. Pizzcato, well.............I think I found it!

40 gig I would buy this. 400 gig? I would rather let man eating spiders eat my nipples or attend a 3rd grade English class or wear ballet tights.....that's a little extreme I guess. I would like to know if it's really 400gb. I don't think Kontakt 12 is that large.

In memory of Mr. Peanut , who would want nothing more than to see us all eat peanut butter. We may celebrate peanut butter day early this year. I think. And maybe introduce becan into this too!! Since becan was brought up by someone..Wibbles.. seemed like the appropriate thing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a tune or two in memourum of Mr. Peanut himself!

I know Ed. Most of the nuts we have left have been hanging around a long time. It's tough to see one go. I don't see much of the nuts closest to me, but I know they're there still hanging around in the shadows. Sometimes we only miss what we don't have......was that deep? Enjoy your nuts while you still can. This in a nutshell, is how I feel.

I think this is a common thing for Mr. Peanut. I try not to think of where it comes from ?

I see your point. For the longest time I recorded at 24/48. I still do. I usually export at 16/44.1> high resolution mp3 for anything that goes on the web. This was only because my interface at the time was locked to that as the highest sample rate I could record. If the final product is going to use mp3 compression, then for me the real question is, Is there any advantage to down sampling a file that will eventually wind up as an mp3? Many who export don't bother with the in between wav file and instead simply export directly to mp3. A higher rez mp3 at 256 is better than a low rez 128 mp3. It probably all hair on a knats back from that perspective. I could be wrong, but I think using higher resolution compression makes more difference than down conversion of samples. That information and a cup of coffee will get you........................a cup of coffee

Very interesting article. It's amazing to me how they managed to find 5 "expert listeners". No one in my world can turn the thing under their nose off long enough to listen.

I don't wash my car. They infer he's a bum who doesn't care. I mean, they are right about that but.........

I should have worn my wellies today. It's getting really deep in here.

I had a mental evaluation and they said I was guitarded.

Great minds think alike. I don't care what they say, I like Soundiron. I don't think they have said anything, but if they did........I like those guys.

Get it HERE.

LOL. Those chicks look like piranhas with wigs. ?

And I thought it was the guitar players who got the chicks ?

Oh I see we still have plenty of nuts around here. No worries.

What are to do without our nuts?

Glad you have found the "one" for you! Congratulations! I don't think the video could have been any better for this. The team did an excellent job to commemorate this important event!

This initially seems like a good idea. *however* "Hey look at me, I have a DAW at home, maybe a nice studio." Caser- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................maybe we should follow this one home.
