  1. that is possible, however, after trying both the manufacturer "ASIO" drivers, a number of free ones, ASIO4ALL, etc, this one seems to be working well - very stable in performance, decently low latency (lower than my WASAPI, WDM, and MME). even my Musescore IO settings like it, and the Musescore IO doesn't like anything that has to do with audio output ? so i removed all the other ones and have been using it exclusively for all things audio (disabled my normal audio drivers as well) for about 1 month now. i do agree though, that my home desktop machine with the specific UMC drivers, outperforms the generic drivers because i can get the latency down to 2ms (with the caveat that it's a terrible price on CPU - so i keep it around 5ms when recording) with my UMC1820 - all 8 tracks at one.
  2. i'm using an inexpensive Behringer Q802USB mixer - stereo USB (@41K sample rate ?) (the Q1002USB (more $) has a 48K sample rate ?) and I use the Steinberg low-latency ASIO drive that came with the free version of the Cubase 10 program (it's much nicer than the ASIO4ALL and some other ASIO programs in terms of reliability). it's about 10ms latency (20ms round trip) (adjustable up to 100ms), but with PDC enabled during record or simply monitoring via mixer the instrument live against the playing tracks/metronome, then shifting the track to match, it seems to be working ok, and the mixer was only $80 USD or so (and includes decent preamps + channel compression on 2 XLR ins, plus 2 stereo more line level etc inputs) so it's a reasonable compromise on audio I/O.
  3. plogue sforzando seems to have picked up all of the Dimension pro instruments all by itself, or maybe i added a path somehow? either way, it was very handy means of getting access to the audio clips in a lightweight host.
  4. there was a detailed article a while back on how he exchanged tapes with Brad to get all the vocals done, then brought in a pro drummer to finish the recordings. very amazing.
  5. unless it's a specific single track effect, i use an aux track or aux buss to share the effect and can automate it etc. but maybe adding an aux track next to the track that needs the wet/dry balance adjusted and perhaps automated, is the most direct way. one could also use the effects bin in the pro channel to possible do the same with the channel tools etc.
  6. also, the PDC button will drop/bypass the latency from the plugins, which is what i use during recording (although i often skinny down the number of unmuted tracks as well to reduce overhead so i can get my latency way down during the recording)
  7. you could use the headphone output into your 2i2, it's unfortunate it doesn't have a DI type output (e.g. like a LoudBox mini) where you can set the master volume off and have it connected via XLR etc...
  8. not sure what the meaning is but it is. Hung By Pride © Glenn Stanton Something silver, shiny, and caressed Something close to her heart says I’m batting second best So how’d we all end up in this big old mess? I wanna know She’s got her reasons and I got mine It’s a terrible thing to be hung by pride. Pride She won’t break and I won’t cry I won’t cry Seven reasons and I wept to rest She’s always right in the fight about second best So how’d we end up in this big old mess? I wanna know She’s got her reasons and I got mine It’s a sorrowful thing to be hung by pride. Pride She won’t break and I won’t cry I won’t cry <bridge> Something here that we both can’t stand Drowned it in wine didn’t lend a hand We both agreed this ain’t nowhere to be And now we’re free. Free She’s got her reasons and I got mine It’s a pitiful thing to be hung by pride. Pride She won’t break and I won’t cry I won’t cry I won’t cry
  9. thanks for the feedback, yes it is somewhat repetitive - i used the same 7 bars over throughout, and just enable or disabled various parts to make it seemed different.
  10. just a fun song start with HookPad for the original 7 bars, then export the MIDI and tweak in CwB. master in Ozone.
  11. also - open source requires any proprietary licensed software to be released as well - this can be via a company grant (companies like Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, etc will often give grants to certain open source products, some companies like IBM will rescind their grants and thus require the open source project to build their own solution or pay up; and some grants are done via payments - open source products (such as Linux are filled with grants - and some of the enterprise versions include pay-for grant software to be embedded.) so going "open source" can require a lot of redevelopment and legal work (to avoid plagiarizing someone's code you don't want to pay for, for example). and if one believes the NSA that the open source Linux is the most secure product you can get, you might check on the news about China switching away from Windows due the the NSA key found, and then wonder, how much of the critical parts like crypto, etc are already tainted by the US security operations... oops. if you want to use a computer and be secure / have privacy - turn it off, burn and bury it. otherwise, welcome to the 21st century ?
  12. there are a few decent paid (and some free) android-based keyboard apps and synths. oneimportant aspect - getting a good quality USB adapter which can provide the power to the keyboard (some adapters do not) - i've been using my Keystation 49 and Samsung Note 8, and a CANZ speaker (using the direct audio output to avoid bluetooth latency), and it seems to work fine.
  13. did you re-run the plugin scan? in most of my projects, the v11 plugins came up correctly because they had the same name as the v10 and v9 plugins. re-running the scan should re-acquire the actual underlying plugins via the wave-shell dll (which has definitely changed).
  14. somewhat older article by Noel WRT signal flow. http://www.noelborthwick.com/cakewalk/2014/04/10/know-your-signal-flow/
  15. it may be the zoom function operates too quickly and the number of events to process (rotating the dial or clicking on the +/-) overloads the software which is trying to process everything else. if i operate the controls slowly (+/-) it doesn't seem to happen. same with a single indent of the wheel. if i quickly spin it or click the scoll buttons it goes into the lock up and seems to be trying to scale beyond it's limits and/or has too many operations to attempt.
