Just choose CC74 from the list and draw your automation envelope like any other.

Renegade Acoustic is one of my favorite acoustic guitars. The electric version is pretty good, too. If you get the bug and really want to dive into the rich articulation possibilities of sampled guitars, Orange Tree Samples goes pretty deep with them. Half and full palm mutes, squeals, hammer-ons, quarter/eighth/sixteenth/whole note slides, divebombs, power chords, tapping. Of course, it's the difference between a $59 product and a $179 product. Shreddage2 is another one that goes deep if you like heavier genres, with lots of articulations that can be tweaked. Then, once you're totally hooked on articulations and looking for more challenges, that's when you dive into that bottomless black hole that is orchestral libraries.

You can also do it right in the track view if you're not comfortable with the PRV. Since it's a VSTi (as opposed to a Kontakt instrument) you should be able to select it by name from the "edit filter" dropdown list in the track header. If it's not listed there by name, you can still select a CC number by clicking MIDI at the bottom of the same context menu. You can then draw in the automation in the track view just like any other automation. Sorry, I don't have MODO Bass to show that specific instrument, but here's what it looks like when the developer has exposed options by name. Note that this kind of automation is usually applied to the audio track rather than the MIDI track.

I'd start by doing a search on my local drives for "HEAR360" to determine what it is and where it's located. Could be something accidentally got installed under a folder that's in your scan path, or a DLL dependency of a legit plugin. But the first step is figuring out what it is.

EMI would be my first guess. Maybe RFI if you're near a strong radio source, e.g. a radar installation (but those tend to be cyclical) or a machine shop where they do arc welding. Best defense against EMI is isolation and good grounding. Make sure all your gear is plugged into the same circuit and there are no "cheater" adapters in use. Check what else is sharing the circuit with your computer and interface, that there are no motors or compressors (e.g. refrigerator). Ideally, you'll have a dedicated circuit just for your recording gear, but that isn't always practical. If that isn't possible, a power conditioner might do - bearing in mind that a real power conditioner isn't cheap, and a power strip with a surge suppressor isn't a power conditioner, even if it says so on the sticker. Pull out the outlet you've got everything plugged into and make sure it's grounded correctly (should have a green wire that disappears into the conduit, hopefully going all the way back to the distribution panel). There are cheap testers you can get at the hardware store to test outlets; they'll alert you to the most egregious wiring mistakes.

John Lennon, October 9th. Close enough.

Is it too late for the US to join the EU? I hear they have an opening.

Editing them by hand will drive you crazy. Fortunately, there is good software out there that can intelligently clean them up with little effort. For many years my go-to tool was Adobe Audition, but I now use iZotope RX8. I'm not sure, but I think even the $29 Elements version has the feature. I use the standard version, which adds a whole bunch of cool stuff. And of course if you're made outa money there's the Advanced version. Here's a comparison of features from each edition. Now, you didn't hear it from me, but if you only need it for one project you can try RX8 for free for 30 days. Just sayin'.

Gotta admit, I'm a sucker for remixes. Listening to a super-familiar record and hearing new things in it is a special joy. (see Sgt Pepper) Remasters, not so much. Listening to a a familiar record where all the life has been squeezed out of it, that is a special kind of disappointment. (see All Things Must Pass) The toughest call, though, is a format change. Is it really worth it to buy a FLAC version when I already have it as a 256 kb/s MP3? Probably not. How about a 192 KHz 24-bit wav? Definitely not. I was born at night but it wasn't last night.

How about "crushes sibilance like a dancer's thighs"? Or, "crushes sibilance like the dreams of a failing rock star"? ...crushes sibilance like a cartoon piano.

Waves needs your help, antler. How would you fill in the blank - "crushes sibilance like ________"?

I informed my grandson (20) that I shared a birthday with Sting. His response: "who's that?". But when I reminded him of Eddie Murphy singing "Roxanne" in Beverly Hills Cop, he showed some recognition. Yeh, Sting wrote that, I said.

I only know this because I thought it would be interesting to see what was going on the day I was born. Based on the search results, Google concludes that only one thing of any importance happened on October 2nd, 1951. That's how I found out that Sting and I were born hours apart. That's also when I knew conclusively that there is absolutely no validity to astrology.

Glad to hear it, Billy. Best thing about articulation maps is they encourage you to use more - and more varied - articulations, which in turn makes for more sonically interesting music. If only they existed in real life, e.g. the ability to drag in a bar that says "exercise".

Only the good ones. I've had a few that would be dangerous in anybody's hands. Some went straight into the bitbucket.

If I want a delay, I buy a "Delay". If I want a reverb I buy a "Reverb". Perhaps the product would be more popular if it wasn't named "Sibilance". Which, not to brag or anything but I already get for free. Came with the microphone.

I still follow the cardinal rule that I learned while using V-Vocal: listen to it first and if it doesn't sound wrong, leave it the f*ck alone, regardless of what it looks like.

I see what you did there, Sonny.

Of course, that wouldn't fly nowadays. Now, I'd have to take a screenshot of page 37, circle the keywords and accompany it with a cute meme.

I used to write manuals. With great care, too, despite knowing that no one would ever read them. But it saved me from much aggravation, because even though I'd still have to repeatedly explain the same thing over and over, I could now do it in shorthand, e.g. "see page 37".

Wait...Reddit has a search feature? What happens if you type in "angry post"? Does that narrow it down any?

As everyone should. As everyone should.

So when he was young, then. Creative people are doomed to remain creative their entire lives. However, one's focus does shift over time as we move from inventing wheels to refining the implementation, style and manufacture of said wheels.

Kurre, your post made me chuckle but we oughta lighten up a bit. The OP is brand-new to this stuff and unaware that there are lots of free instruments out there that you might have to do a little research to find. Every noob embarrasses himself by asking questions that have already been answered many times before. That's part of the feet-wetting process. If you don't remember ever doing that yourself, then your memory is failing. Gingko Biloba is supposed to help with that. SKATOR, start with Michael's link. That should keep you busy for awhile.
