Paul is totally legit. Look, he knows Hans Zimmer personally! Even brought him a Coke and seems pretty pleased about it. Meanwhile, Hans is busy explaining to the other guy that it's not his fault, Tina Guo just doesn't date nerds. The fellow wearing glasses with another pair hanging from his shirt didn't even have to ask.

It doesn't have anything to do with it being bass specifically. Easy workaround for the time being would be to just change the input MIDI channel on that track to something other than what your controller's set to (probably channel 1).

Try to determine whether the symptom is random, intermittent, or both. "Random" implies that the detuning occurs in various different places along the timeline, without consistency. If it's intermittent but not random, that means it occurs at the same place(s) but not all the time. If truly random, hardware would be a prime suspect. A bad potentiometer on a cheap scroll wheel (iow what most of us are using) can generate spurious events just by rolling your chair nearby. If you hear the pitch shift while the controller's disconnected, then you can be certain that's not it. You could also try selecting a different MIDI channel (anything but channel 1) for the bass track. That would effectively disconnect the controller. By default, new MIDI tracks are set to Omni, meaning they respond to any and all incoming MIDI commands.

Two different animals. Nectar is a multi-fx unit, the others are one-trick ponies. The only similarity is that both have distortion, although Noveltech plugins are mostly just distortion.

I have achieved good results with Vocal Enhancer, but it's a dangerous weapon. Used conservatively, it can brighten a dull-sounding vocal and make lyrics more intelligible. But it's also extremely easy to turn a track into an ice pick to the ears. Worth the 15 bucks? Yes, it is. Just don't go nuts with it, and when you apply it make sure to re-listen to the mix the next day and see if you still think it's helping.

Exactly. And it is a bug, I think, because you can lasso other things and drag the rectangle beyond the visible region, such as MIDI notes in the PRV or clips on a track. It's likely that it's always worked this way. I've never noticed because I always zoom out before selecting a group of things, to make sure I know exactly what I'm selecting. I'd rather accidentally exclude a node than to unintentionally include one I didn't intend to move.

Confirmed. The thread title threw me off at first. It says the nodes are un-selected if scrolled out of the viewing area, but that's a misleading description. I tried every method of scrolling I could think of: up/down, left/right, using arrow keys, Home/End, Ctl-Shift-PgUp/Ctl-Shift-PgDn, scroll wheel and horizontal/vertical scroll bars. Tested on both audio and MIDI tracks. All worked as expected. The only way to duplicate the problem, is to do it exactly like Olaf demonstrates it in the top post. The issue isn't nodes scrolling out of view in general, but rather when the view scrolls horizontally to accommodate a wide selection rectangle that won't fit into the viewable region.

Once played with a drummer who used the stage name Buck Futz. I borrowed that name when I needed to populate a test database. My business partner then adapted the test database as a demo database and started using it for product demos at trade shows. We lost a potential sale when a show attendee spotted it on a report and said we she couldn't take us seriously with such a sick sense of humor. I told him that customer would have been trouble anyway.

Can be toggled via a button in the upper-right corner of the track view window. Button changes color when ripple edit is enabled.

Nobody touches her "giant c***k" - her name for it, not mine. Last rehearsal our bass player requested she not use such crude nomenclature on stage, a request that was duly noted with all the respect you'd expect in a democratic enterprise - and then subsequently mocked ruthlessly for the rest of the day. Fortunately, "c***k-hater" did not stick as his new nickname. Poor Steve, he's the new guy. But he's gradually learning that she not only takes pride in her Janis Joplin, she literally channels Ms. Joplin, Southern Comfort and all. We've been playing out pretty regularly since December. Turns out, there are plenty of gigs and a mysterious shortage of bands to play them. At this point, 3 of the 6 of us have had COVID. I have avoided it mainly by being an antisocial curmudgeon. I knew it would pay off someday.

The new keyboard stand arrived yesterday. It's nice. Very stable. As I expected considering its price. Here's the new rig, in my cluttered garage / rehearsal space. Yes, that's a plastic chicken in the image. Our singer didn't want to be limited to tambourine and cowbell.

Incredible arrangement. Dolly is such a treasure.

That would actually be a cool enhancement, to open a default project just for editing MIDI. It would not be easy to implement, though, since a MIDI file can contain multiple tracks/instruments. From a practical standpoint, it makes more sense to click on the cwp file and open the project. I'd be uncomfortable editing one MIDI track in isolation without being able to hear it in context.

Those kinds of artifacts aren't uncommon. I've even seen them in my own software over the years. It always came down to the video adapter (and/or its driver). I used to see them on my system years ago, but they went away when I upgraded my graphics card. Often those artifacts will disappear when the screen is redrawn, such as when restoring the main window after being minimized.

+100! Recommended reading for beginners and old hands alike.

Only part of that suspicion is true. Yes, if you are a keyboard player, a pro synth will feel better under the fingers than most low-priced MIDI controllers. There are, however, MIDI controllers out there that mechanically feel like a real piano. But if you're a hunt-and-peck kind of keyboard player, e.g. a guitarist who dabbles with keys, then there is no reason to spend more than a couple hundred bucks on a MIDI keyboard controller. Sound-wise, what you have on your computer's hard drive is likely to be as good as, or in many cases, far better. It's about storage limitations. The NS3 has just 2 GB, the Kronos has 60 GB, upgradable to 120 GB. I have individual Kontakt libraries that wouldn't fit into the Nord's entire memory. Some people actually do transfer things like Omnisphere patches into their stage synths, but when you do you only get between one and three velocity layers. Not everyone will agree with this, but IMO the only reason to invest in hardware synths of any kind is for live performance. And, being too old to attract groupies, the only reason to do live performance is to get out of the house once in a while.

Just ordered a 2-tier stand, so that I can continue to use the Kronos until I've had time to master the NS3. When I had a 2-tier stand in the past, I didn't like it because the top keyboard covered up the controls of the bottom keyboard. This new stand's supposed to be more flexible. Fingers crossed. If it sucks, Sweetwater will take it back. I don't know how keyboard players can stand floor wedges for monitoring. Most of the time, they're out in front and nearly inaudible due to being completely blocked by the keyboards. My (powered) monitor sits atop a speaker stand, just below ear level and off to one side. It's small but mighty, purportedly pushing 1KW. Hey, if you're gonna go deaf, you might as well enjoy pristine audio quality while you do it.

That's why I will never have a tattoo. Heck, I agonize over what shoes to buy. I can't imagine buying a pair of shoes that I'd have to wear for life.

Log in to celemony.com. Version 5.2 includes minor enhancements and fixes. If you're using iLok you'll require a new activation, which should already be in your iLok account. For the rest of us, it's a simple install.

Nah, Rick didn't have key splits. And, I have a wizard cape. Well, it's more of a Samurai cloak, but it has a sequin dragon on the back, so that says "wizard cape" to me. Coincidentally, Wakeman's primary instrument nowadays is the exact one I'm getting rid of. Could he know something I don't know? Probably, yes.

That was the first thing I thought of, too. However, if one of the vst3 paths was missing , that would affect vst3 effects, too. Not just instruments. The OP says vst3 fx work. That's what makes it a mystery.

First I had to cut out sugar to cure my diabetes. That worked and I've adapted to a low-sugar life. But now I have gallstones and have to cut out fat as well. That leaves just one macronutrient (protein) that I can eat. And AFAIK there's just one food that's nearly 100% protein: no-fat cottage cheese. Yum. I'll stir in some laxatives for when my guts turn to cement.

Well, that can't quite be accurate if he can't get ANY VST3 instruments to work. However, the best course of action is still to send Toontrack the dump. They will probably be able to diagnose the problem even if it isn't SD3's fault. Bad Mac, I hope you post back here after you've figured it out, as I'd be curious to know what the problem turned out to be. I checked dependencies for a handful of VST3 instruments and found none that weren't also dependencies of VST2 instruments. IOW, I couldn't find a single point of failure that would apply to ALL VST3 instruments and ONLY VST3 instruments. If you want a specific VST3 instrument that's known to work, but won't cost you anything to acquire, I'd suggest Spitfire LABS.

No joints needed 'round these parts. Just walking around while breathing will suffice.

Yeh, I could probably fly to Sweden and buy it there for the same money. Just like I could fly to Mexico for dental work and save money. I was actually lucky to find it in stock at Sweetwater. The case is on back order, though. Anything that arrives here by boat is a challenge. Supply chain something something. I try not to think about that. I am heavily invested in the color black. The last red thing I owned was a Vox Continental in 1967. Oh, and there was that red VW bus a decade later. Even my hair isn't red anymore.
