It's the Feedback Loop section in these forums.

I think you have it backwards. CbB is audio editing SW. You can import video, but you would compose to the video, not edit the video to the music, you need video editing SW if you want to do that. Video editing SW will let you import still images and manipulate their duration as well as import audio. There may be SW that let's you do both...

It does take time to learn a DAW. I started with cakewalk in 1990 and I'm sure part of the reason I continue to use it is because I'm familiar with it. I also use Ableton Live. HW often comes with lite versions of DAWs and I usually kick the tires, but nothing has compelled me to switch yet. Good luck.

You can start here. Do you have an audio IF or are you using the onboard HW? If you have an audio IF have you installed its driver?

The last company that owned cakewalk prior to Bandlab was Gibson, prior to that Roland owned it, and it was originally developed as a midi sequencer by Greg Hendershott back in the late 80's and he went on to develop it into a full fledged DAW. His company was Twelve Tone Systems. IIRC the original DAW was Cakewalk and later the name was changed to Sonar so that's a product name. I think it should be fine for your purpose. Each DAW has strong and weak points so it's a good idea to try several.

The voltage of an audio signal is also called the amplitude as well as volume and that exists in the digital domain. Note that Millivolts (volts) is the v axis in the picture above. The red line below represents the envelope of the signal displayed. From my experience dsp envelope followers work fine. Just like with HW you have to adjust the gain of the signal and the gain of the envelope follower.

This is not true for Kontakt. In Native Access you can change the content directory to a different drive. They show that if you look at their help. You can also move the Kontakt sample libraries after they are downloaded. I just upgraded from Komplete Select to Komplete and moved the Kontact libraries to another SSD. You just have to repair the links in Native Access after you move the libraries. FWIW.

I don't know the answer to that. I have 2 buffers chosen in "buffers in playback Que". The various asio drivers I have don't seem to have a safe mode option. If you want to get greedy you can use higher sample rates. The higher the sampling rate the more samples there are per second so the same number of samples are smaller units of time. Depending on your current sampling rate you could try going up to 96k hz or 192k hz.

Zero latency is also called direct monitoring - you hear the input to the audio interface, not the output from the DAW so you wouldn't hear any plugins. Glad that worked.

If the buffer is too small you may get clicks and pops. So you may need to make the buffer a little larger depending on whether or not you've optimized your computer for audio performance. Good luck.

The first place to look is the audio IF. Are you using asio and is your asio buffer as small as possible while still being stable? I normally run at 96 samples, but if I shutdown the lan 64 is stable. Roundtrip latency in CbB is reporting 9.8 msec at 96 samples. Some plugins have more latency than others - linear phase can be pretty bad. Start with no plugins and tune your system and see if it's ok. Then add plugins one by one and see if one is particularly bad. People have different ideas about how much latency is acceptable.

What John said. What I meant was open CbB with asio and CbB setup to share. Although I just checked and I don't have suspend audio engine checked so that isn't necessary.

FWIW I open biab with asio and create a song and then open CbB with asio setup to share. Click the DAW button in biab in the upper left corner and it shrinks biab and keeps it on top and you can select instruments from below the menu bar and drag and drop into CbB. So far I've just been doing it with audio, I haven't tried that with midi tracks.

Unfortunately it's just Content location, that's not broken down so you can select a different location just for Kontakt samples. I just upgraded from select to full and copied all the Kontakt libraries to an ssd.

Good to know, thanks for pointing that out.

I think it's still good. I have a Boss SY-1000 and it enables me to split the signal so I've been sending one signal to S-Gear and another to an old ADA MP-1 and dialing in some of the S-Gear tones on the MP-1. I've had the MP-1 for 25 years or so and still like it.

I don't think you need the step sequencer for this - just use a midi track. Set recording for sound on sound. Set up a loop. I think you can record enable/disable while looping. You'll have to try deleting and see if it works.

I just have the one dll.

I have a number that I use. For the most part I use MSuperlooper by melda productions. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MSuperLooper There's also Augustus Loop by Expert Sleepers. https://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/augustusloop.html I tend to layer sounds and Ableton Live works well for that although it's not like traditional loopers and you get a lot more, but also pay more. For doing Frippertronics stuff I like Imperial Delay, although it only has 10 seconds of delay. https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/imperial-delay/

I haven't used it in years. IIRC I saved MIDI bindings inside the plugin. I set it up once and tweaked occasionally. I wasn't a power user - I just did basic looping and I don't think I used presets.

In the first video above Justin says his tone is from the processor that looks like a boss gt-3 and since it's an amp modeler it's hard to say.

That's understandable. I try to keep my home studio setup for minimal fuss.

My bad, USB 3 and USB 2 have the same latency. USB 3 will move more data.

USB-C is a form factor, it can be USB-2 or 3. Check the specs. From what I've read on Windows USB 3 isn't any faster than USB 2, but it has higher bandwidth.
