Mr No Name

I have good news all round on this subject, there is a plugin from Klevgrand called Gaffel which I got a while back for this purpose, it has 4 bands and works well, I got it cheap in one of their promotions, currently $60 , no discount for black friday for some reason. also there is one from bluecat audio MB-7, which has good reviews but quite expensive at around $129 https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_MB7Mixer/ but, the winner is a plugin I promote regularly to people for it's cpu saving qualities, Waves Studio Rack / Studio Verse, which is free, you can insert 8 bands of multiband, it is designed to work with waves but will load a selected amount of 3rd party vsts from other developers, It also does parallel processing, i'e mid/side on non mid/side plugins, sounds fantastic, tested it with a waves API 560, sounds exactly like you would expect a mid/side eq to sound, possibly better, I would rate the msed as a monitoring tool more than a processing one, sounds a bit un-natural to my ear, again will convert a selected number of 3rd party vsts, and as luck would have it, black box HG2 is on the list, not Maag eq4 unfortunately. 👍 https://www.waves.com/plugins/studiorack edit ; rescanned plugins through the studiorack, have all the vst3 plugins at my disposal, including maag. great success,

thanks, I have that plugin since a few years, good plugin. What prompted the idea about this was seeing developers releasing mid/side versions of plugins I already have, for example, Maag eq 4, they released a mid/side version, rather than buying a mid/side version there must be a utility to covert the original version, also with the black box HG 2, they released a mid/side version, I don't want to buy another version for mid/side, needs a DIY solution, a workaround. ??

these are good suggestions, but they seem to be only affecting the mid/side properties of the audio, I want to be able to control the mid/side properties of the plug in. I'll keep looking. Must exist.

does work, but is very similar to voxengo msed

I'm pretty sure Bandlab have nothing to do with Cakewalk DAW anymore, it has been shifted to another part of the "corporation" where it will be left, to gather dust. But still work with no updates. anyway.

I'm looking for a plugin that will convert any L/R plugin into mid / side mode, even if (especially if, that's the point) it's not designed to do so. a mid/ side converter if you will whether it will go before or after I'm not sure ?

I don't think that will happen regardless of what Mike says.

it's only function being to turn non mid /side plugins into mid/side ones.

no, I'm looking for a plugin that will turn any plugin into mid/side,

I'll never stop using Cakewalk anyway, Mike can use what DAW he want's to.

try the plugins through the waves studiorack utility, helps with cpu usage.

edit; he's got an old windows laptop, sorry Mike for calling you a wally.

what a wally, why doesn't he just use 2 computers.

Instead of buying (I'm not buying any more plugins) a plugin which has a mid side utility, are there any good mid/side utility plugins people use to turn normal plugins to mid/side, inserting immediately after in the chain, like a hardware Fusion box with a mid/side insert? thanks.

That's actually very good imo, nice track. I wouldn't mess about too much more with it, sounds great, one thing I would say, there is a small bit at the beginning and a bit at the end where the high end sounds a bit too saturated. couple of bars worth. as for the music, top tune.

cheapest they've ever been.

Same as that, In red text.

it seems to be one of those new reverbs that have the impulse responses of an anechoic chamber 😂

You appear to be correct, dry signal runs through the plugin, but no reverb comes out on the wet signal? looked good on the promo video 😂

https://overloud.com/products/rematrix-first seems very good, you'll also be aware of the Overloud plugins that come with Cakewalk. maybe better than Breverb ??

Hello, I want to move my Cakewalk Contents/ Projects folders pathways(including existing projects) from my C drive , to an E drive, the DAW is on C drive. Is this possible? thanks in advance,

I have 3 drives on my laptop here, a 2 tb and two 500 gb ones, my OS is on a 500 gb, as well as vsts, daws and programs, samples and downloads are on the 2 tb one. I had read it was problematic not having your programs and vsts on same drive as the OS, I have since found out this is false information. I deleted a few programs/programdata off the C drive and won back 70 gb, now have 120 gb free of 500, aim to keep 100 free for smooth operation of the computer. Treesize program was useful for showing what was taking up space. have so far deleted. ableton - live "lite" 8.5gb Air music tech - Structure 38gb ujam- god knows what 7.5 gb Traktion - waveform and other stuff I didn't download 12gb will cull some more at some point.

you can also use it on whole drum loops and finished songs, which is the most interesting thing to me, once you dial it in, it's quite a versatile and interesting plugin.

it works as a trigger, so when it detects a drum hit, it adds its bit, (with 27ms delay, which can be compensated for) so it should work with real drums as well as any other,( i.e, it doesn't work on time signatures) you can add your own one shots, but you have to reverse them yourself first, I think they are working on doing it automatically in an update, you can adjust the volume of the hit, and as a copy of the dynamics of the original drum hit, so to all intents and purposes would work better when you can't really hear it, a psychoacoustic subliminal trick if you will. I believe other similar plugins are apulsoft aptrigga3 and klevgrand fosfet. I think you could probably use it for guitars also.
