The Placebo effect is “real”!

@whoisp So you are recording at 24 AND bouncing at 24 as well? Evidently, from a technical stand point, this allows "errors" to "build up" and eventually "affects" the sound "quality". Well duh, everything we do is "meant" to affect/effect the sound; yea? If it sounds "right", it is "right"; print it! t

I should add that at least one user here on the forum is getting results that "blow away" his RME UCXII. (we are talking about the Zoom 32bit 232 here) It has resolved all the "issues" he was having, and I'm happy for him! But, for me?, I'll stick with 48/24... t

Yes. And since on Zoom's website it looked to me like there is no "user" way to control preamp gain, I surmise (as you did) that they are "burning in" some kind of automatic gain control in front of the ADC. I'll handle the compression/limiting and gain staging "Thank you very much!" t

In reviewing Zoom’s website, I get the impression that “dynamic range” is NOT the “advantage” offered by 32bit float. The advantage is you cannot digitally clip the signal. Well, that’s a good thing, but somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, the “engineer” has no control over the signal path, read that as the gain structure. I’ll pass. And @whoispif CbB is is setup Record 24, Render 32; every bounced track is 32 bit, so the notion that recording at 32 is a huge resource “hog”? - it’s no big deal… I’m a “hard” 48-24, but it’s “your” dime. (Read “your” as the royal y’all, if you get my meaning) t

Welcome home Lars… t

totally wondering where I was told this? it was here @John Vere

Always a fan! ?’s t

Late to the party myself. ?'s t

Jack, I'm always impressed with your willingness to "bare your soul". Keep up the good work! The editing is a little "abrupt" on the beginning and end; technicalities... t

<rant> Begin? Its been going on for months now. "is New SONAR going to open my old projects, will I get New SONAR for free because Henry screwed me over," etcetera, etcetera, etcetera; ad nauseum. I apologize in advance, but please grow a set children; everything is going to be fine. And YES, you are going to have to PAY to keep development going; this is America and free enterprise ain't free... and here's the good news, you are in before the lock! </rant>

I got broad shoulders Sidney! They can pound all they want. What I want? I want to pay $199 for New SONAR, and I want whomever chooses to stay with CbB to have it work indefinitely; but "You can't always get what you want". Of course in the immortal words of The Tubes, since I am an American citizen, I am entitled to "a baby's arm holding an apple" so there's always that... t

Hand wringers will wring their hands, I mean, that's just what they do; right? t <thinking aloud> I wish they'd just release the beech, the studio rig is in the office today for the build 75 update. Sure would make my life easier! What do you say Noel, just put it out there... </thinking aloud>

All of the above! t actually this would a convenient way for me to handle my promise to reimburse anyone who has "issues" with the New Sonar... ?

AFAIK, open in any version of Cake and save as .mid. Not good news as you have no PC. t

Platinum requires a one time authorization via Command Center, although I do believe this can be done offline. “ET” phoning home is a CbB thing. small price to pay really…

The Korg is connected to the Audiobox interface? If so no, no driver necessary. CbB “sees” only the Audiobox port. Is the Korg the sound source? Or is the midi driving a VSTi?

What is listed in Preferences > Midi > Devices as your midi input and output devices? Make sure the Korg is attached to whatever is listed there. If no midi device is listed, CbB will always assign TTS-1 a the default midi device. t

Is CbB open first? The keyboard and audio interface should both be on BEFORE you launch CbB. I always boot up the computer first, then fire up the audio interface (in this case RME UFX). One caveat here: my midi keyboard is USB powered, so it is powered up as soon as the USB port is "hot". Also, my Control Surface is on before I boot the computer (firewire, Tascam FW1884; it is slow to connect to the computer if it is "hot" before Windows launches...) So all interfaces that CbB will "need" are up and working BEFORE I launch CbB. I never launch CbB by double clicking a cwp file, but that's just me (it unclear from your post what exactly your routine is). t

I run three monitors and have never experienced what you describe. However, when I bring the Studio rig into the office for updates, Cake is only minimally displayed because it's on only one monitor. BTW, Is the curve in the screen really as pronounced as it looks in the pics? t

You left out the “or so”. Let me be clear, I have no “inside” information. Just years of being a customer since Cakewalk Pro 3.0. t

Those are guaranteed to bite you in the ar$e!

Think this will stop all the "hand wringing" upstairs and down? DOUBT IT! But rest assured, all of those whose sphincters are in a knot, Noel and the crew WILL NOT leave you "twisting in the wind". The "NEW" SONAR will open all your existing .cwp files AND all your old .wrk files; (and all the "questions" ad nauseam you have raised). I personally guarantee it! As Howard Hughes, famously said, "If this goose don't fly I will leave this country and not return!" Better yet, if the "new" SONAR does not open all your existing .cwp files, I will personally refund the $200 or so you paid for it!* There, that is all children, you can now return to your regularly scheduled programing... t *limited to the first ten who can demonstrate that a "working" cwp file will not open in new SONAR

10 bar progression? Way COOL!! always enjoy your work, big fan! t

I’ve never bonded with Neutron or Nectar. Relied on Ozone, but lately it’s just the EQ match followed by Lurssen then the FabFilter limiter to catch any stray peaks. My small “m” mastering is still evolving… t
