Xoo

I did some of this (and added some more ear candy too, just because I could): https://www.bandlab.com/xoospacemusic/forge-of-gravitons-550cb3b0?revId=30e84255-ab09-ed11-b47a-281878315d59

And Boz' Imperial Delay - I think I've used it on a solitary track since I bought it!

You need to have tooltips enabled for it to appear.

How can you say such a thing about the VL-1 ?

Thanks for that @Larry T. I'm mixing late at night (well, ealry in the morning really!) so am trying to second guess a bit of the instrument balance. Thinking about some double tracking though has given me some ideas...watch this (pardon the pun) space.

Polyverse Comet is the most obvious.

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone else find that they download a demo of a plugin/instrument, play with it for a bit and like it, so decide to buy it, then find that the purchased version just doesn't seem to sound so good?

I've got 2 or 3 that I still use - not often, but I can't find anything that replicates their sound. And they won't get updated (or in one case, the 64 bit equivalent is buggy as all hell) ?

Interesting and potentially useful. It does dump all DX into one list, which makes sense in a way, and merges 32 and 64 bit VST2s into one hierarchy, which also makes sense I guess.

Ditto my MOTU drivers.

How many projects open?

We've all done it ?

Wrong way round!

And even if the output were balanced, most hum is being generated (for want of a better word) inside the guitar, not the cable. Get some screening paint for the guitar cavity if you want to try to minimise it (I've done it on my guitar, but not sure it made much difference!).

Thanks (and thanks for the earlier feedback which helped me sculpt the tune). And with a nod to @Wookiee, gear/plugin list: - Drums - BFD 2 - Synths - Surge XT, Korg MS-20, u-he Zebralette, G-Force Minomonsta - All guitar FX TH-U, enhanced with Valhalla Shimmer, Supermassive and SpaceModulator - Various Cakewalk stock Pro Channel effects

1 - Luck. 2 - Yes. 3 - Once you've paid the licence fee.

Does the track fader actually move or is it just the sound that pans?

So I updated it to take note of the comments here and my own thoughts: https://www.bandlab.com/xoospacemusic/forge-of-gravitons-550cb3b0?revId=4abee98e-d5fd-ec11-b47a-281878315d59 It's no longer *quite* so short now!

But look on other boards (eg. KvR) where an oft-aired complainy about Cakewalk/SONAR is how busy it is...you can't please everyone.

Thanks both. I got lazy with the drums (and the ending for that matter) as I just wanted to get a tune done*, so didn't spend much time on them after the first few bars. I agree that something like a cymbal crash/opening up would work - I think I'm going to extend it and fade into a slower, ambient, minor part as the guitar reverb fades out. * I'm sure like many of us here, we have a bazillion half-done tunes sitting on our PCs!

I've seen a genuine marble guitar. Not for the lightweights amongst us.

Another short but sweet instrumental from somewhere out there. https://www.bandlab.com/xoospacemusic/forge-of-gravitons-550cb3b0?revId=7d84f1d9-120a-ed11-b47a-281878315d59 (3rd time lucky to upload the right file...)

I had a chance to meet Dave Gilmour in 2011 at a work do...and I ended up having to work that evening so couldn't make it. Absolutely gutted.

2 - you should be able to use the All Users/Users group rather than one by one.

Not needed for softsynths.
