What is a scenario in which quantizing is actually useful?

EDM

Great use of

If True Pianos is not authorized, does it produce silence? I didn't see that mentioned on thier site.

Just to make sure, did you check your cords/cables/wires? : )

Are you talking about the Keyboard on the PRV or the keyboard that you can play?

I am assuming you mean the one that you can actually play. I use this on my Surface Pro and it works extremely well. Little to no lag at all which makes it useful. I also see the key I press gets darker when I press it, so I have visual feedback as I am playing.

However I do not find it desirable to have the key playback when my trk plays back. Nor do I want anything to affect the way the keyboard works now. For us using it on small systems, it's works! That's all we care about. : )

Oh, ok! Transfer speed. Duh!

First thing that I really thought about was a cable somewhere. I know it's simple, but we all have been caught/bit by that bug once or twice. Jack not shoved in all the way. Can't be the brand new cable!! Can it? LOL!!

Jim, running a PCIe Firewire controller card into a PCIe port IS PORTING DIRECTLY INTO THE PCIe BUSS!! 

I think you missing the point Steev. Jim is referring to an adapter.

And I think his point is that Firewire can not take advantage of all the speed that PCIe has to offer. I may be wrong, but that's how I am reading it. YMMV

All I know for sure is you don't like the way keybindings work in Cakewalk

I think (from what I have read) that's the gist of it. There also may be a language communication problem, he may have difficulty saying what he means in English, so he showed a pic of what he thought was a good idea (the link). 

I have to agree with him. I don't use the keybindings editor much, but when I do I always want more screen real estate to work with.  : )

If your using 6gb SSD drives (where did you get them?), I would say that's the problem!  : )

But I am thinking it's just a typo and you really mean 6TB.

Have you tried another DAW to see if it still happens? Or even try a media player to see if it's something system wide or isolated to CbB.

Never seen this Sky. It should be the same. Have you tried to restart CbB?

@Steev, I have been following this thread the whole time. I do this for the sole reason of I may learn something. I saw no where in this thread that any one suggested you were an idiot. And I did not take some of the responses as a "Pissing" contest. To me it was just a conversation that went in a direction that kept my interest.

IIRC, ( and I'm not going back to fact check) no one suggested that the OP get a new Presonus Quantum. The conversation, as I remember, lead into talking about latency, and the Quantum was brought up in the conversation, not as a solution. : )

 Apple DAW users suffer from the evolving OS.  

They suffer from a lot more than that! :  )

Once the plugin browser came in, I hardly use the Plugin Manager anymore. I use the default plugin menus. I thought they did a good enough job of getting me where I need to be  in good time. But what I really like about the browser is the search function.  Try it. : )

Thanks. I hope these videos have been helpful. I know melda stuff can sometime be hard to understand at first. Also hopefully I'll be able to make some videos about a cool new product soon.

Yes Chandler, they are very helpful!!

Sill haven't seen update notes for the BandLab Assistant application. Newest version is 5.0.2 Anyone?

I don't believe there are release notes for BandLab Assistant.

"In addition to exporting Cakewalk projects to BandLab, you can now also export projects from your BandLab library and open them in Cakewalk" 

What does this mean?  Appears to mean that I would be able to look at a Bandlab project (mine or someone else's) and would be able to save that in a Cakewalk readable format, rather than just stems or mp3.

Yes, that's what it means. I haven't given it a full going over, but from what I can see and tell, you have some options in what format things get imported/exported.

And you are right in that this is gonna open it wide open for collaborations. I am already thinking of using BandLab as a way to put up some trks from my main pc and when I get on the road d/l them to my Surface to mess around with. Also, I can uplaod the stuff I makeup on the Surface and want to transfer to my main music machine. This is really what I have been waiting for!!

But I think to do all this you have to have BA 5.0.2. Not much literature in that regard. 

Have you tried to use sends on your trks/busses?

[edit]

Then send the sends to a buss that you can route to where you want. Put a Send on the Master and send that to New Buss. Send the output of the new buss to 7/8 output.

[edit2]

How many in/outs are you selecting in Preferences/Audio/Devices/Input and Output? On my Fireface I got four choices. How many you have? And do you have them all selected?

HTH

I still use few VSTs that only works on 44.1.

Wow!! They must be some good ones!  I walked away from old plugins long ago. And I could, because I really didn't have any favs that would stop me from getting a newer version of what I already had.

The one thing I had that I still really miss is my ole Turtle Beach Pinnacle. It was a 20 bit sound card that was ISA only. It also had a Kurzweil  synth/sampler on it.  When I gave that up I was heart broken. Because all I could afford at the time was a Sound Blaster 16 PCI.

Actually, Melda plugins remind me of a synth. I mean almost all their plugs have modulation control. And if you learn to use it, whoa!! I mean wow! : )

Man I forgot about that song!! Thanks Will!!

I am hoping that same storm moves on out of here by Sunday.

Send the trk you want to go to the headphones to 7/8 and go to RME mixer, from the software fader, select the button at the bottom and choose 7/8, then look at the bottom of the mixer in the output section and select the headphone fader and turn it up.

If what I am telling you dosn't make any sense, then I suggeswt you grab that big manual and start reading it like I did. And I don't mean this in a bad way. I had to read that thing two or three times before I was able to wrap my head around that software mixer and what it is capable of.

What you want to do can be done. But you have to know where to route your signal. And that you will have to learn yourself because every system is different. IOW, my In/Out for my software and hardware (big difference) are different from yours. So what I explained is what I do to keep my mix levels the same, but when I want to record and not hear anything coming out of my speakers without changing anything in CbB, I use the RME mixer.

Very simple once you know. Just read the manual. I had to. Thought I could just figure it out. Couldn't.

 They listen.

Yes they do!!

24/96.

Sounds better.  :  )

The reason the clip gets split I think is because of comping. If you notice, all clips gets split all in the same place, like it does when you make your sections to comp. Not sure if this as intended or a type bug. 

if you do go with the section parts like I do, you might wanna think about doing them all the same day with the same feel. I have done sections over time and they all did not have the same feel/sound to them. Had to go back and redo them! So keep that in mind. Like you, all I use to do was record to tape.

Ok. Another Amp sim! Another next generation.

I like Kazrog too. And I will try this, but it sounded better with the really heavy stuff. Not so much with the LP and the standard E tuning. I know I am an old relic, but that's all I use (mostly) is the E tuning. Not sure if this would be something for me.
