i mainly use the stock ones. i have a few custom ones i made because the strumming was too unique for a couple of songs i normally perform on a guitar (and i while i could simply play it, i'm currently in the mindset of teaching computers to play together ? ) or i use a Kontakt based one if those AAS ones don't seem to do it. finally, i recently downloaded the (free) MONSTER Guitar vst but haven't played with it much yet. seems like it may also be something to use.

i've been using the Strum-GS from Applied Acoustics Systems AAS. the strum patterns are basically 2 or 4-bars of a MIDI file. so you can create your own. note: these are the strum key switches. and typically there are 8 pattern files per grouping: "<name> ###-bpm [A-G].mid" these create the variations of the strums (up/down/muted/etc/picked notes). so multiple notes cause quick strum variations (e.g. up/down) here's one strumming variations: here's a look at one doing arpeggio-like pattern of strums - or could be used to pick single notes:

i think Frank Zappa would have approved of the hologram act. he probably would have taken it places though which at least were R-rated LOL... ?

hmmm remember Mille-Vanillie? lol ? interesting to see the evolution of the vocaloid product in live situations. now we just need the musicians to be replaced and we're all set...

i still have my real proteus rack module. still sounds good. the VST thingie was a bummer though as it never work right for me either.

i figured that was the case ? i have an inexpensive I/O - UMC1820 - using USB3 i can get to 4-6ms... depending on how many channels i'm using - drums - all 8 ch (mics) - 6ms, single guitar - 2ch (DI + amp) - 4ms. however, owing to my pc power (or lack thereof), no effects on during record...

using the thunderbolt or USB 2.0 on the Antelope?

you aren't freezing the MIDI, you'd freeze the softsynth. the big "*" button is the synth freeze. per @bdickens best to spend some quality time with the manual and reference guide to dig in and understand the features.

this should help: Cakewalk - Cakewalk Documentation - Signal flow http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.07.html

for me, it's one of the few tools that gets installed before any software to verify the the machine configuration and make sure things like USB ports etc are all stacked correctly to avoid interrupts (for example) on my audio I/O, etc.

HWInfo64 - has a sensors view.

HW Info ?

may be review the steps to export from GB? WAV files are a very well defined standard uncompressed format. so if your other audio apps cannot read them, chances are they're not right... make sure (for example) that the TYPE is WAV and not something like AIFF with a .WAV extension. or export them as AIFF and convert (which is what i do when people send me audio files from an Apple product - like Logic) to WAV. The MIDI file - may be the same issue. There are different types of MIDI files; the most common are type 0, where all information is contained in a single multi-channel track; and type 1, which puts each channel of MIDI data on its own track. Type 2 contains multiple patterns which are arranged as a song. you want (most times, Type 1).

one thing i noticed in the reviews - heat. the 7950X without turbo was running near 95°C and recommended much larger cooling capability... intel product also running hot and thus both likely getting temperature throttled.

dynamic eq would be nice as well ?

same here - programs stay on the C: drive, as much as content - i junction to my D: drive. so i tend to be selective with things like Sample Tank, Waves, Melodyne, and a few other that if you try to do their entire folder, things get screwy. but using junctions on the content subfolders seems to work fine.

you could try the matrix view and drop samples on the buckets there. read up on (and play with) the matrix tool as it has a lot of excellent capabilities.

i would try out the Ozone to remove it (in the past when preprocessing files i would use Sound Forge to kill the DC offset and set levels etc). now i mainly use RX-7 to perform my preprocessing on files.

its definitely something going on... i got the out of phase issue on the drums (i replaced the ez drums with addictive drums). created a blank project. set up SI-drums (everyone has those ? ) on an DRUMS audio track and MIDI (clips from project file) track. create new patch point. assigned output of DRUMS to Patch Point 1 created new audio tracks - PDRUM with Sonitus Compressor in FX bucket, and RAW. assigned Patch Point 1 to both PDRUM and RAW. created Bus A. assigned output of PDRUM and RAW tracks to Bus A. started PLAY. no phasing. turn off FX on PDRUM, ok. turn on FX on PDRUM - phasing. turn off - still phasing. STOPPED PLAY. restart PLAY - no phasing. with the Sonitus Compressor turned off, cycling the FX bucket causes the same phasing. removing the Sonitus Compress - cycling is ok, no phasing. added Wave C1 compressor - no problem. going to suggest the Sonitus Compressor is the issue. if you remove it from the original project - same thing happens - no phasing. TEST (DRMS W PATCH POINT PHASE).cwp

OP - is it possible that you turned off the PDC during tracking to eliminate latency, and now any un-even fx timing is showing up?

then again, there are lots of recordings where what was sung is not what the lyrics sheet said as a means of circumventing the record label and radio/tv censors... ?
