  1. you could just create 2 tracks - one with the keys, and one with the click. make the tracks mono - then you can pan one left and one right. export as stereo.
  2. wondering also if some Windows Security settings are blocking some older VC, file access, etc. i've found on one of my machines (newly updated overall) that the Windows Security enabled all kinds of "safety features" which i had to turn off (things like "prevent google chrome from running", "prevent apple itunes from connecting to apple store", "don't allow download of non-MS approved files", "only install half of the application without warning user", "turn on intrusive file indexing as high priority service to prevent disk usage", etc) ? (not really those, but several policies which had the same effect).
  3. individually, but if you group and double-click only the one track goes the zero and the rest are proportional. ideally they should all zero...
  4. it would be nice to have a number of knobs act the same, it is very disappointing to double-click expecting the dial / knob / slider to reset to its default position (0 etc) and then it doesn't... even the PC EQ works like this... so resetting gain by double-clicking would be a nice enhancement which might not require significant work to make it happen.
  5. i'm liking the logitech mouse with the side button (about 20 years now). although if i am using a MS mouse with the normal buttons, not a problem. however, going back to a single button Apple mouse just make me feel spastic...
  6. As noted earlier, some band have 2 drummers. I've done some things with 3 drum vsti setup up to play different parts as if I have 2 drummers and a percussionist. So as several have repeated if it sounds good it is good. And if you program something that is complex enough, and you or someone else wants to perform it live, then either bring the tracks or hire enough people to play it... One more thought, simpler is generally going to sound more realistic in most situations. One thing I tend to do is set up the midi for the song and then strip out as much as I can while still retaining the essential aspects. This leaves room for other instruments which don't mask the drums or are masked by them. Hi hats and cymbals are usually the first things I scale back.
  7. PC fx module let's you load quite a few additional plugins. Plus I think you have 10db which have PC versions. I use my pultec and neve style eq quite often. In fact I mainly only ever use the PC strip for all my effects.
  8. are any of the plugins potentially causing this? maybe turn off the fx and export only the track as clean and see if it behaves the same. another is if the HH track is mono, set the track to mono and pan it hard.
  9. one of the key things to check - are all devices which you listen to "calibrated" to produce the same levels? using (say a -12db pink noise file) you can set all your listening devices/sources to the same level (esp if you have a sound level meter). so if CW is set up so speakers are outputting 75db, then your listening apps needs to be set with the same source file to 75db.
  10. same here. BBC DSCO working fine. specs in sig
  11. i am a bass player by trade ?
  12. i use the task list to create a number of export options and i just check the one (or more) in the list i want and run it. i have this type of presets in my templates so they're already there. so, one key technique is to leverage the task approach - although i agree, having it remember the last settings would be nice.
  13. runner up: Bataclan, a music venue in Paris where Eagles of Death Metal were playing, with more than 100 people dying and many attendees taken hostage as a result of the terrorist attack or probably the Ariana Grande concert bombing - Manchester Arena Suicide Bombing: 22 Die at Ariana Grande
  14. i still have mine. if you take a bit of time to add good line and keep it oiled it works nicely. i've caught some big fish with it (you still need the right bait and a net). kept it in my car for years in case i was somewhere i had an hour to kill near some fishing hole. also ok for backpacking but mostly i use my 4' shakespeare rod with a shimano reel. weights about 10oz and is easy to unpack and set up. plugins - except for "bark of the dog", if a plugin has a silly name, i generally look at the specs and if it's something i already have one (or more of) (and regardless of the endorsements) i typically skip it... ?
  15. this was on HBO last year. a couple of hours i'll never get back. complete waste. traffic jams, people broke down the fence, got dirty, ran out of food, some people got sick. first world problems...
  16. looking at a 2016 KB entry - it should be usable in 64-bit environment as 64-bit was becoming prevalent by then - although you need the SONAR 2.0 and later to install it... not sure what version of SONAR it stopped at. Getting Started With Cyclone DXi (https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013082/Getting-Started-With-Cyclone-DXi) Last updated on 3/30/2016 Introducing Cyclone... With the new Cyclone DXi from Cakewalk, you gain complete control over your loops and .wav files. With Groove Clip technology SONAR allows you to break up your loops into individual transients for real-time pitch shifting and tempo matching. Now we've upped the ante once again by allowing you to move, delete, tune, pan, and replace every single slice individually. Cyclone DXi is available in SONAR 2 and later
  17. i'm on version 5 editor and the splitting seems to work on even tiny slivers and gaps. i zoom way in and place and split.
  18. one option would be to create the parts using the GB instruments and export the audio - then import into CW - setting your project tempos etc. if using MIDI in GB - export the MIDI as type 0 (all sources in 1 file) and import into CW as that should provide the tempo info as well as the MIDI content. from there, the sky's the limit on instruments for the MIDI source.
  19. insert a second SD3 synth. then map that with the percussion etc and assigned to separate midi and audio tracks as needed. i do this when i want both drums and percussion playing at the same time with Additive Drums (AD2) one for the drum track, and one for the percussion. one midi for each and multiple audio to separate out things like kick, snare, hh, oh, and usually one or two for percussion. if i don't need them playing together, then i'll just use the one AD2 instance for both - do the drums and record them, then switch over to percussion (separate midi and audio tracks) and record those. as a note, i used to use SD for most of my drums and percussion but mainly use AD2 now.
  20. 'zactly. they could have called it CLP (which sort of rhymes with VST)
  21. maybe copy (import?) of a couple of those track clips over to a blank clean project and try to apply the melodyne there. just raw audio tracks.
  22. in theory, melodyne is supposed to clean up the separations when rendered, however it doesn't for some reason, so take a look at it while you have engaged the rfx and before you do the render to see the actions. also, to set the directory somewhere else, you need to use the exe as the region fx doesn't have the option to set it.
  23. the default for the separations folder is your documents folder (typically on your C:\ drive) ? and if you're using OneDrive etc to sync that, it's a potential spot for file handle conflicts. also and quota restrictions (not likely), or disk space available (possible).
  24. a couple of things to do with melodyne - make sure the separations (temp files) folder has adequate space and permissions, and also keep it cleaned up. i have a dedicated folder for separations and transfers. i periodically delete folders on projects i've archived. otherwise it can build up quickly and if melodyne has a quota set, there is (like many programs using file storage and temp memory) it can result in odd behaviors. my setting is 10gb. e.g. folder
  25. yes, the desktop machine. down to 32 samples and 64 samples. however, it imperative to ensure the project is minimal to record at that low level. so where you need effects etc for the performer, then you'll need to find another way to add them into the monitoring or increase the latency. so the AMD processor should do better in terms of maintaining low latency with some fx processing - but it also depends on I/O capabilities, system tuning, etc. my next machine will likely use a server type board with multiple physical cpu, numa channels, dma, etc to get the I/O to microseconds and shared processing across 128 cores etc ?
