If you use an expression pedal some amp sims do have wah pedals. You can also use an expression pedal to control vst filters or eqs and that is basically the same thing.

Are you talking about an on/off pedal, liked a sustain pedal, as opposed to an expression pedal?

I've used Macrium Reflect free to do what you're saying a number of times. No problems. I don't remember the details, but I thought I cloned the disk, installed it and then used disk management to enlarge the partition. I could be wrong, it's been a while. My DAW is around eight years old now, I started with a 256 gb system SDD, switched to a 512 gb, and eventually a 1 tb.

Yes, you can record midi from keyboards and use them to drive software synths, and you can play midi through your external synths. How you connect depends on the HW, usb or midi. Check youtube or the tutorial section here. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/

It turns out the problem I had with the M1 in Live was operator error. I did a file save combi and that didn't save it. I tried file save all and that worked. When I opened the project to work today everything was fine.

I agree and plan to report it. With the M1 I created a new combination and it didn't seem to save it properly, but I haven't used the M1 much until now. I tried saving everything yesterday and today I'll see if that worked. If the vst 2 works it will save me from having to recreate the combination every time I open the project.

I will.

I was playing with the Korg ms20 as an fx with guitar last week and was surprised to find you can overdrive the input on the filter. I'm impressed. On the other hand, I'm using the vst 3 version of the M1 in Live 11, but it doesn't remember it's settings.

I noticed that with the M1 in Live 11 the last few days. I'll give the vst 2 version a shot.

I got a new laptop a couple months ago so I went thru the process of uninstalling and reinstalling. My old laptop was about 10 years old. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, but it's easier with a new laptop than rebuilding.

After 8 years there's something to be said for a clean install. Clean registery and so on. Just sayin.

Oh, ok. I don't care for that ...

Disabled is what you want, so that should be OK. Make sure your usb cables are plugged in completely. It seems odd that a power management/plug and play driver is running.

The platinum installer still works. I got a new laptop recently and installed everything from platinum and then installed CbB. If you just want the synths you can try just reinstalling the pieces you want.

It looks like latencyMon is indicating a problem. What is Wdf01000? The genuine Wdf01000.sys file is a software component of Microsoft Windows Operating System by Microsoft Corporation. The filename "Wdf01000.sys" reflects a specific major ("01") and minor ("000") version of the Microsoft Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) Runtime, which resides in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers". It runs continually in the background as a Windows service. There are both an "in-memory" and an "on-disk" version. Its function can be compared to that of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for managed code in the .NET Framework. For kernel-mode drivers that are specifically written to use it, it handles Power Management, Plug and Play, and other aspects of the interface between the OS and a device so that they do not have to be written in the driver. Windows Vista included a version by default. Windows XP and later do not; the package installing a KMDF driver requires a "co-installer". If the co-installer's version is newer than the runtime's in-memory or on-disk version, an update and reboot is required. Check that usb devices are set so they don't power down. Check that your device drivers are up to date. It's not necessarily audio related.

The machine seems like it should be OK. Is it optimized for audio? If it's downloading OS or app updates in the background or doing some other background tasks that can cause crackling/popping and drop-outs. If one or more browser windows are open and videos/ads are being updated, and so on.

I've got both the H3000s and I use the factory a fair amount.

There are MIDI pedals. I use a Roland FC-300, I originally used it with a VG-99 and now use it mainly with an SY-1000, but I also use it when I want to control SW. The Yamaha MFC10 is popular They're not cheap. The Behringer FCB-1010 might be the least expensive. Keith McMillen has the soft step and 12 step and I'm sure there are plenty more. Google midi foot controller.

I picked it up. I like it with celestion G12m-65s in an open back cab as well as creambacks in an open back cab. The IR loader is nice with the nembrini, with the PA I tend to turn off the cab and use TH-U with cab simulation + IR, but with the nembrini I can setup presets and it's easier to switch between programs.

I have the desktop evolver. Fun little unit.

I'll have to take a look at the Nembrini, thanks for that.

I have the PA version - Fuchs ODS 50. I use it a fair amount, it's a nice sim.

No, I haven't tried that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks. I tend to think of tremelo as a change in amplitude as opposed to pitch, but Fender seems to have confused the terms tremelo and vibrato. The Deja'Vibe is a clone of the Shin-ei Uni-Vibe and it looks like that's what AT5 emulated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni-Vibe

I've been trying pedals in various amp modelers and Uni-V in AT5 has the same character and seems pretty good.
