Ok.

EDIT: meant this to be a report on the post quited below, not a post in the thread. 😊 Sequioa is a mac OS version; I would guess this is some AI spambot that hasn't come back to add their spam yet.

Not knowing which specific things you're referring to...If they're "rehashing" the same things, maybe that's because they are issues that need to be corrected? As a general rule, you don't get multiple people asking for or speaking against the same specific things, especially taking the time to keep restating it at every opportunity, unless they are a problem for those people. And in general, only a few percent (at most, usually many less) of any particular group of poeple will speak up about something, so there are likely many times the vocal amount of people that want (or don't want) whatever it is that's being spoken about. Please remember: Just because something (whatever it is) isn't a problem for one subset of people, doesn't negate the problem for all those that it does affect.

That sounds much easier for the average user to understand.

No need to apologize--it wasnt' directed at anyone, it is simply a fact that this kind of question is going to be asked dozens, probalby hundreds or thousands of times. Also, there will be even more people that don't ask because they do find the answer in an existing thread, but shouldn't have had to come find it because the software itself should have clarified it for them in it's own message. I'd like to help prevent the wasting of time of support / dev personnel on it, when there are many more important things they could be doing. (FWIW, if a common message to a user of any device, software, etc., requires clarification, it is a poor message--even if it is accurate, if it is not complete it is insufficient and should be replaced with one that does not. You wouldn't want a traffic sign that makes STOP unclear, for instance....

FWIW, I'd rather have it err on the side of caution and keep unnecessary data than ever remove any files I might want to keep for any reason.

Perhaps the notification within the software could be clarified to explain this to users so you and any support personnel at bandlab don't have to keep answering this over and over and over and over and over.....

Guess they didn't invite the bidet, plunger, or thermometer to the discussion.

If it was unpainted, did they preserve the aged patina in the final finish? That would be beautiful....there were various old structures (some of which used to be houses, some sheds, some barns, some wellhouses, etc) in the farm country I lived in as a kid in north texas, and I always loved the way that old old wood looked and felt.

Does the modern Sonar not still use the "universal no" symbol on muted clips?

Depends on how the VI is designed. If it's got internal pitch envelopes (like ADSR volume but for pitch), or oscillators, or other ways to detune itself, it may play differently each time a note is triggered, or if the oscillators aren't synced (or are random) it might vary on every pass of playback and every render. (something I really hate since I want the exact same output every time so I edit such sounds where possible (like in Z3TA2+) and don't use them when not). If it's a simple sample-playback it shouldn't do this, and it should be identical in a render vs a playback. (they should phase cancel if you invert one, assuming no randomness or unsynced effects on either one's track or in the VI itself). If it's a physical-modelling VI, it depends on how it really works inside--if it has the exact same math for every modelling pass, it'll be identical, but if it includes variation for "realism" it won't phase cancel, and if any of that variation includes pitch changes it may be tuned differently too. I don't have any PM VIs so I don't know what options might be available on any of them to reduce or eliminate that. If it's not the VI itself, but effects in the track detuning things, you can try not including them in the render (so they are still used live) and then the render itself would still be tuned identically to the playback. If it's an artifact of the rendering process, then I'd call that a bug somewhere--if it happens to all VIs it's probalby in the host, if it only happens to some it's something to do with the way they respond to the rendering process, and that's usually an issue with "fast bounce' vs realtime rendering, and the simple way to fix that is use realtime bounce instead, at least until the root bug can be fixed (if the manufacturer of it cares enough to do so).

By that definition, no acapella vocalist, or single-tone-instrument (flute, clarinet, etc), picked guitar, etc., could ever be music. That seems very strange.

Note that this would hae to be done before the melodyne retuning of the vocals....

There is a Track Manager that lets you hide and unhide tracks. It should be available from the menus (probably views, but I don't know), and there is also a shortcut key to it, but it is probably different than the key I use for it (M).

All I ever care about is how it sounds in the mix, since my goal is the end-result as a whole; I'm creating a soundscape and if all the bits fit, well...that's it. I have done some absolutely awful abusive edits to pieces of audio I've created or gotten from other places, in order to fit them into the spot in the track I want them in, because for whatever reason I couldn't just rerecord that bit (sound source unavailable or unmodifiable, etc). Some of them sound quite tragic on their own. 😆 But in the mix, I can't even tell there *was* an edit...or the edit sounds like it was supposed to be that way, and whatever couple of listeners I can scrape up to give me any feedback never say anything seemed wierd or bad in there. So....if it works, it works. But I have like...zero fans that come back to keep listening to my stuff, so I'm probably not the one to take advice from. 😊

Which program? (I have a lot of stuff I'd like to do that to, and my present manual method is rather tedious and very time-consuming).

I sympathize..... I don't really "play" guitar normally, but the only one I ever really felt anything for was the Takamine Jasmine acoustic I lost in my housefire over a decade ago (but the dogs were a much much harder loss). The only thing left was the charred end holding the tuning pegs; even the strings were gone except for the nubs in the pegs. 😭 (I also lost my original Ensoniq ASR88 and the DAW itself, though the ASR wasn't destroyed it was damaged and dind't work anymore...the computer was a total loss but I managed to save some data. EDIT I forgot I also lost my Yamaha G10/G10C midi guitar...the box was damaged but not destroyed but the guitar and it's case were a blob). Nowadays the Ibanez 6-string electric bass (whcih I don't seem to have any pics of) I got used several years after that is what I use most often, and I love it's sound, but other than it I only have a beater yamaha acoustic I was given right after the fire, and a heavily-modified-by-me first-act fender-clone-thing I found at goodwill and have rebuilt more than once so they don't get used much just because they're not very...interesting, soundwise, and neither one will hold a tune for an hour.... The Ibanez stays tuned hanging there for months at a time, and is always ready for me to play around with, even when I drop it or bang it around trying to get it off the wall to play, or to hang it back up, or when it slides off my lap while I'm playing, etc. 😊 The man reason other than the sound that makes me use the Ibanez is that it has widely spaced strings so I can fit my fingers on them without touching the other strings accidentally, whcih is very important as I don't have great control over my body and have to play things one string at a time, recording each bit and then stacking all the clips for the sound I'm after. But...I do like it's sound, with or without any effects on it (though I usually at least use a reverb, often a delay).

Does the modern version of Sonar / CbB not have hte standard preset dropdown / save button at the top on each plugin? This is what it looks like on my ancient version/ the top Presets: bar with "saved test preset1" is where I type in a name for a new preset, then click the save icon (looks like an ancient floppy disk). This exists on every synth and plugin I use in my ancient SONAR. I couldn't live without this function (not sure how anyone could), so if it's not in the modern version, I'd be very surprised.

go fer it!

Let me help you along a journey through your mind into places you have yet to explore, with soundscapes to fill you with otherworldly scenes, from movies that have never yet been made. (I was making this list for someone else, and thought perhaps posting it here as well would be ok? I left out some parts of the post that aren't relevant here.) It is *all* experimental. There is a spoken-word song "The Beaten Dog" https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/the-beaten-dog though most don't have lyrics they may have vocals or vocalizations. The "hardest" song there with vocals (English) is probably "Back To The World". https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/back-to-the-world A couple have Elven vocals, Behind You Lie Many Unseen https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/behind-you-lie-many-unseen Gareki II (Alternate Version, Cinematic Feel) https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/gareki-ii-alternate-version-cinematic-feel and one has Indian chants: Less Like A Whisper https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/less-like-a-whisper and one has wolves rather than humans doing the "singing" Ookami no Kari no Yume (Wolf's Dream of the Hunt) https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/ookami-no-kari-no-yume-wolfs-dream-of-the-hunt A Peek Over The Wall is "set" in Guri https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/a-peek-over-the-wall And this older one features Lauscho on the lead guitar: Convocation of Lies (feat. Lauscho Remix) https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/convocation-of-lies-feat-lauscho-remix The most recent ones at the top of the https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com page are generally more cinematic, and the older ones at the bottom generally more electronic. There's a variety of styles / types on there, so if you don't like one try another, and more than a few change styles within the track itself over time, so you can just wait for it to change too....

And Callisto was (understandably) mad, herself, as in mentally unstable....

Seeing your centaur, I immediately thought of Xena, and asked an ai image generator for "Xena (the warrior princess) and Gabriel (her sidekick) singing karaoke next to a centaur playing guitar out in the Elysian Fields" and got some very different results in the same generate, none of which were what I asked for:

What happens if you record the guitar on the same track that the vocals record on? if it works, then it means you have some setting different in the guitar track than you do in the vocal track.

Does surge xt work as an audio effect only? Some synths can't be used as just fx, only as synths, becuase they don't process audio from an input, only generate it.

I usually use "Jiiiii" (pronounced like "gee" in gee whiz, but loooong). It's usually used to represent "staring" at someone in a manga panel, so it gets cat's attention and they stare back at me then we can begin our conversation. When they don't just whack at me and run away....
