i had to look it up in order to eschew obfuscation: VERB paltering (present participle) equivocate or prevaricate in action or speech: "if you palter or double in your answers, I will have thee hung alive in an iron chain"

or is trolling

just as a test - if you play a note on your keyboard with the selected instrument, does the note stop when you lift off the key? or does it continue? if you play a couple of notes quickly on the keyboard, can you hear them distinctly? if not, you need to adjust your instrument sound(s) to accommodate the short rests.

where is the voice controlled CbB on Plan9 OS?

+1 -- i know a few people who use the vocal extreme 3 w/ backing tracks and live instruments (guitar, keys) + harmonizing (which is not trivial to do even with the auto-pitch stuff) with great success and really excellent live shows.

it depends on the drive - 4K sectors are good for small files (like OSes with lots of smaller files) and 8K is also typical (and i've seen systems use 16K and 32K sectors) for larger files like audio etc. the reason for the larger sector sizes is the disk (or SSD which maps likes a disk) has more contiguous spaces for streaming-like access. so, less hopping around addresses to read or write it = generally faster.

using the built-in plugins, you could construct a reasonable "mastering chain" (even using the FX chain "mastering" ones) by using the CbB EQ, Compressors, Limiter (mode), Channel Tools (M/S etc), Tape and Console for saturation, etc and likely achieve really nice results with the right ears and skills. the only thing missing would be a CbB metering plugin -- but there are several decent free ones.

you could use automation lanes to get the track balance you want, and ducking as a modulation effect which is easily adjustable (manually or another automation lane), and possibly use automation lane patterns to define the effect(s) via: volume, EQ, compression settings, on-off switching delays / effects etc. really depends on what you're looking to do.

when my adult son says things like this, i have to ask him "do you hear the words coming out of your mouth?" LOL. as a general rule on my part - I run Windows on PCs, and I run Mac stuff on Macs (at work the amount of screeching due to people running Windows on a Mac is just inane...) so when my son calls asking on how to get something Windows driver-like running on his Mac, i tell him to fire up his PC instead ? or spring for the $ on the Mac... (as a note i've been using Macs since 1987 and PC since 1990 -- so church and state...)

hmmmm. maybe there is a problem with your file system? or your OS configuration? Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) To do this, follow these steps: Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, do the following as your appropriate: If you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, first run the inbox Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool prior to running the System File Checker. (If you are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, skip to Step 3.) Type the following command, and then press Enter. It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

for mastering and mixing i generally set my io to 2048 samples or even higher to minimize load. i only ever use low # of samples for recording live instruments or live MIDI performances. for mastering a project (with multiple tracks) i only put the metering plugins on the master, and each track in the mastering project gets its own plugins (typ Ozone 10 or sometimes the Abbey Road Mastering plugin). so you might try to increase the # of samples just to see if that helps.

thanks! reminded me that i have the "emissary" bundle and a ton of IRs. such a wonderful combination.

yeah when i have a complex arrange that jumps around, i save it as a "temp_arrange" file and commit it (avoids the case with auto save or me instinctively press ctrl+s...) and then delete the temp file(s) later - lightweight and avoid any possibility of messing up the main file ?

yeah, i've been a member there for several years now. no coupons and my settings are "send me coupons" ? no love there. i see other companies (once you sign up to pay for monthly coupons) will share some which knock it down by 70%. anyways...

i have, but frankly since i upgraded to Melodyne Studio, i'm firmly in that camp now. i have about another 5-6 products but Melodyne is just fast, reliable, and i can tune guitar / piano (sampled) chords etc if needed.

looks pricey - $399

as note: if people are interested in a reasonably priced tool - i've found hookpad (https://hookpad.hooktheory.com/) is very nice to rapidly create songs, parts with lots of useful features for chords, instrument generation, etc. a full set of MIDI which can be imported into Cakewalk and then have proper instruments applied. hookpad can also output the lead and score sheets. not a shill for hookpad, just a happy user of it for 2 years now...

hey, on the plus side, Cakewalk Sonar can start getting reviewed again as it will be a paid product, and they'll have to advertise in the reviewer magazines / blogs / etc to get people to purchase it. the reviewers can, ahem, erm, once again give their unbiased opinions ?and will no longer be unsupported by plugin developers who don't support free products...

yes, but your ability to shop major brand stores improved didn't it? ? not to mentioned the plethora of great information the ad bots stuff into your inbox as a result that your didn't even think about. plus those times you were speaking in a room which had an Alexa nearby and suddenly those product being to appear in your search results and inbox... like magic! ?

when setting up patch bays (i don't do it often) i print the connections reversed (as well as normal) so when i'm in the back the connections are shown so they line up correctly on the front. yes, after using the normal connections drawing on, say, erm, 2-3 bays each with a few hundred connections, then finding i reversed (compared to front) all the ones i did after lunch (apparently doing this on a full stomach is not good as it causes your brain to slow down...) i figured out that printing the connections with them reversed for the back, i made almost zero mistakes... fyi -- patchcad -- an excellent tool.

@msmcleod -- i forget -- is there a way to export just the notes? text? csv?

Rex -- you forgot the SETI program using AI on your system to crunch signals from space or are being transmitted to the Pleiades system... oh, wait, they cancelled that... wink wink...

maybe you got a recent update from MS? i'd reinstall the C W redistributable files and check if some update to the propeller software - might need to reinstall. i didn't put the propeller on my new system but in the past had to reinstall it after some MS updates.

another factor - amount of memory per core - my general guideline (from the enterprise application world) is 2GB per core - so 16 core -> 32GB RAM. at a bare minimum, 1GB per core. while the schedulers will still be swapping things, having a minimum amount per core (typically) means less time spent re-loading memory because its somewhat "p/reserved", rather than being pushed onto virtual memory or un/re/loaded due to memory constraints.

add a bass VI (like the SI Bass ? ) and point the MIDI track output to the bass VI and the output of that VI audio track to your master.
