Added another new section to the end, it's now about 3x longer than it started out, and evolves throughout the song. If you don't like it, wait a few seconds. 06-17-25: 061325 000001 000097U https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time

Added a new dramatic section to the end 06-16-25: 061325 000001 000071p https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time

No, not really. The "picture" I get tells me that this would be a way to do it, but I probably still don't know what you want, so it's probalby still wrong: If you're just trying to make a template of the gate pattern, you'd probably have to use an automation envelope (gain, volume, etc) that zeroes out the parts you don't want to hear, that simulate the gating. If you have a gate plugin that can output MIDI or automation in response to the gate trigger, you coudl record that to create the automation. Then you can slide that around timewise on the waveform you're processing with the filter, so that it isn't actually gating the way a gate would trigger (because that doesn't work the way you describe), but instead is gating the way you want it to.

I'm not using modern Sonar, but the only times I've seen it fail to indicate things is when there is an issue with the MIDI hardware (or drivers) preventing communications. Usually it's that one of the St Bernards has been helpful and pulled the MIDI IF off the shelf with their tail or nose or whatever and unplugged the USB cable.... If all of the MIDI devices are working, and no issues exist with lost data in the MIDI stream, etc., then it shouldn't be that....

You'll need to describe exactly what you are doing, step by step, when whatever it is that happens, happens, for us to help figure out what you need to do differently to make it not happen.

Same here.

Thanks for listening! Any technical feedback? It's now updated a bit: 06-15-25: 061325 000001 000040j -- mix changes, added intro sounds, accents throughout.

"Still"? This is your only post here, so you're going to have to provide all your details of the history of troubleshooting that you have already done, along with your settings for the system that worked, and the settings for the system that doesn't. We'll also need to know what software you're using, how you have your project setup, etc.

I think you might need to provide a different form of explanation so we can better help you find what you're after: I dont' really understand what you are trying to do, or get as a sound result? How does a gate "move" with a sweeping filter? they do completely different things? AFAIK a gate either lets sound thru or it doesn't, based on things like attack time, etc. A filter lets some range of sound frequencies thru; a sweeping filter changes the frequency range or central frequency, etc. What way do you want to combine those two things, for what result?

Listen to the new epic cinematic hit No Bigger Than The Space Of Time https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time Added another new section to the end, it's now about 3x longer than it started out, and evolves throughout the song. If you don't like it, wait a few seconds. Is still kind of a sketch of what it will become, but it already sounds like something from an epic movie trailer. 06-14-25: 061325 000001 000021d -- first public version; still highly experimental and subject to major changes at any time. 06-15-25: 061325 000001 000040j -- mix changes, added intro sounds, accents throughout. 06-15-25: 061325 000001 000061m -- extended with new dramatic section 06-16-25: 061325 000001 000071p -- added backing synth and other parts, assorted mix and timing edits. 06-17-25: 061325 000001 000097u -- extended with another new section, plus assorted timing and mix edits throughout.

Lots of "plugins" for all kinds of softwware, and all kinds of activations. You'll need to be much much more specific. FWIW, the best people to help you activate a product are the people that sold it to you (normally the company that makes it).

OH, also, you can use "file logger" programs (i forget what I used last time) that track changes in a folder, so you can point them at the temp folder(s) used for installers like this, and log all the files created out of the .bin extractions during setup (which may go away too fast for you to see if you're trying to manually monitor all the folders these tend to create inside the temp folder).

Someitmes programs like 7zip can extract .bin files into individual files, and though they wouldn't be useful for installing they might show you what's in there. Most often they won't extract because it's encoded or passworded such that only the setup/installer program can decode it, but when they do it sometimes helps my curiosity in cases like this.

Maybe the installer runs in it's own OS and comes packaged wiht an emulator to run in windows? :lol: Or it's like so many driver installers...it includes *all* of the software for *all* of hte things the company makes, but only installs the bits you actually have stuff to update, or have a serial number for, etc....

Thanks for listening! Any technical thoughts? (always looking for feedback to improve)
