This looks mega intriguing. Four assignable 100mm faders, Cakewalk compatible, among many other DAWS. Affordable @ $100. I’ve seen so many vids of people controlling VSTi, from Spitfire for example, with these great controllers. But you look them up and they’re 5x the cost of this unit. This one is no frills. Assign 4 different CCs to control. Has anyone used this? https://themidimaker.com/products/sparrow-4x100mm-midi-controller?variant=41128021360830&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwp8OpBhAFEiwAG7NaEpPk1kqn3q1sRzNLaOcliNBqFQGx--aqeGaJIe71DPZwxRC-0NcthxoCd4AQAvD_BwE

@msmcleod any chance you still have the vid he references in this post? Thanks.

Interesting, and a nice time-saver. How about the multitrack moves you mention for only an identical 16 measures in the middle of the song? There would need to be envelope nodes added at the same locations on the multitracks. Node 1: the track's discreet volume pre-event, Node 2 would take that volume to Zero, Node 3 and 4 in combination would take the discreet track's volume from Zero back to its volume at Node 1.

Seems my OP isn't possible, but thanks for the suggestions, all. Realized drawing identical envelopes won't work because the track envelopes for the rest of the song are completely different; same issue with copy/paste envelope. Sending all to a bus or an aux with a single controlling volume envelope may be the best way forward.

Thanks. Yea thought of that. My bus count and aux tracks going to busses getting up there already. Looking for options to avoid further complications on that front.

Is it possible to select multiple tracks and simultaneously right, say, an identical volume envelope for all of them at once. What I’m trying to do is drop multiple tracks out at a certain point in a song for a certain amount of time before they come back in all at the same time. Maybe that’s automating some sort of group mute/unmute?

Thanks. I’m interested but looks like I need to set up a VI Control account. Are you looking for any other NI instrument? I have a few I’ve been meaning to list on the NI forum.

@Reid Rosefelt do you have a link to this listing? Thanks.

@shane I looked on the site in my account, but couldn't find where to download the Soundtoys 5 beta, with all the components? Thought I'd just wait for the official release, but it's been a long time to wait.

I’m still on the version before latest beta, with the intermittent dropouts. Wish they’d fix it. I have the entire suite in Soundtoys 5 and can’t use them. They were a go-to for all sorts of things.

Thanks for the vid. Primal Tap is one of the most difficult to for me to get my head around at a basic level. Is it essentially two delay paths working in various synch ways?

Does anyone know if this has moved out of beta? I've reached out to Soundtoys, but no answer.

Same here! Endless loop of whack-a-mole graphics… bikes, fire hydrants, crosswalks, buses…

OMG! If you haven’t seen the parody “latest/greatest” plugin video in the Production Expert article, it is absolutely hilarious! A great way to start the weekend with a laugh! Full disclosure: I’ve been sucked in by my impulsive gotta-have-it plugins that end up in my “how did I forget I had this” bin. ? Here is the direct link to the YT video.

Thanks very much!

Where did you find the IRs and what do you use to make them work? Thanks.

I’ve been watching this plug for about two years, and I can’t ever remember it going for less than the current price. $59 seems to be their bottom. Waves’ Abbey products will often go for $29, but not this from Softube.

Brilliant! Finally grabbed the Brilliance Pack! I believe my Abbey Road collection is complete…

Ah, I wondered about this issue. Didn’t want to risk losing the tempo work I’d done, so I left the region effect on. Will definitely remove. I like to render such Melodyne work as I go to lighten CPU load. Thanks again.

@mettelus This got me where I needed to go, thanks! I created a region effect, did my tempo work, switched out of note edit mode, then dragged to timeline without rendering. The tempo map is in effect. Melodyne remains as a region effect on the audio track.

yes, thanks. Will try this when I’m back at the project.

Did that.

As stated in OP, CW tempo map is not retaining anything I do in Melodyne. See @msmcleod comment about this issue.

Right. Did that. But it’s not retaining the tempo edits I make in Melodyne before dragging it to the timeline.
