Mr No Name

I demo'ed these a while back, was quite underwhelmed with them tbh, bit bland and one dimensional imo.

I had the idea of a cloud based DAW about 7 years ago, wish I would have patented it, could have been rich.

do they actually improve the plug in after a WUP? or is it just less of a ballache to install and have a higher version number? I do believe alot of mac users are fans of waves.

it's more likely waves central broke waves, it likes to do that.

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of that.

No, the individual channels, when you load a synth, try dragging the synth to load on a seperate channel of its own each time, Instead of loading via the synth rack.

Have you considered accessing them from the channels individually and ignoring the synth rack?

robot mastering engineer with 6 fingers ? tbf I have heard good reports about the version 11 but I have no intention of trying it myself. on a side note bandlab have a self mastering algorhythm, which I tested to try, and although not fantastic, wouldn't be bad for a rough loudened master. and also is free.

it has a thing that "listens" to your song and masters it accordingly, so yes, some type of AI, not a very bright one.

Ozone 11 is supposed to be better, maybe they got better on that one. it seems whatever you put in there even if it's - 5 lufs, it will try to make it - 4, instead of saying "hang on a minute" and realising it sounds rubbish and should be at -8 lufs. The moral of this story is don't use ozone to master your songs, use a person.

get rid of it, I used the elements 10 version to "master" an already mastered track as an experiment, It sounded awful. if it really was as clever as it thinks it is, it would have known it was already mastered.

a good review of a good synth, ?

tbf , his riffing skills wern't great.

depends which type of music, but for dance /techno/house type of music I would highly recommend it, better than many other softsynths I've heard. plus a free rhodes plug in, widener/delay ?

you've obviously never heard of Nvidia.

The idea is the same, you need to leave yourself plenty of headroom, be much easier to mix a cello and a piano together. this is one of my favourite classical pieces, I'd recommend this a reference. One of the finest renditions of it I've encountered.

ripping a song off of youtube won't provide the correct LUFS value as the original track, so is pretty useless, the best way is to use a wav or flac track, the trick is to use a few of your favourite songs as a reference, buy them from bandcamp or someplace. This is for mastering purposes obviously. if you are wanting to use reference tracks for mixing it might not matter, but it seems counterintuitive to use another song as a reference for a mix, every song should have it's own unique mixdown, that's the art of mixing. ? find a guide for gain structure and use that, basically mix your bass and kick drum together first using a VU meter , when both combined hitting about 0 on the needle, and mix the rest in to suit. (a VU meter should be calibrated to far lower than 0dbfs (digital 0) between -18 and -12 dbfs) https://www.masteringthemix.com/blogs/learn/118131269-how-to-balance-kick-and-bass-in-a-mix

GML and Binson must be a bit more lenient than "Manley" allegedly.

Echorec is pretty good.

UA connect /ilok may not recognise your new drive, may still be connected to your old drive ?

As far as I understand it John, is, is that up until a certain point you will be able to download an installer for cakewalk (CbB), the original free version, this will be to keep forever (or as near to) and be able to be activated forever or as near to, at some point this will cease and after that point new people will not have access to it (too late sorry buddy) so when it is still available for activation but not any more available for download , you better make sure you have a copy of the installer stashed in a folder somewhere just incase of worst case scenario ( OS reinstall, ect) This is the situation as I understand it. get on the damn train before it leaves the station. ect, ect.

I have the product centre installed, I have the files saved in a seperate folder. I think this will be useful incase of a need for an offline reinstall in future if needed, If for some unforseen reason the d/l file become unavailiable directly from Bandlab. belts and braces John, belts and braces.

Download the Cakewalk product centre, and save the last released (most recent)cakewalk installer and associated installers/files to it also. Then you will be able to reinstall offline if anything goes wrong.

People say is there any sound in space, you could imagine that playing up there. be great if outer space was full of music like that.
