I didn't see anyone talk about noise. Unless it's in a different room, noise matters. Smaller power supply means less heat means less fans means quieter. It has to be sufficient though. I recently found a new graphics card and there were two versions... Loud and quiet. Different fans on the card. Hard drives require power and push your power supply. If you don't need it, leave it out. Same with my old FireWire card. That's gone. If you can keep things cool enough to unplug an extra case fan, unplug it. Configuration of os and virus scanner are as essential as the right hardware. Less of somethings more of others. Clock speed matters.

I want this too. The midi filter is one i would like to enable with a pedal push for example. I use a touch screen and tap to enable or bypass fx. So you could put different instances of your fx on the channel and tap to enable disable. Not perfect, but what i do.

@synkrotron It's different from any of my other guitars. The frets are thin and low. The action is high and there is no truss rod. The lack of the round sound-hole definitely changes the sound. The neck is very beefy. I have no other guitar with such a thick neck. But the intonation isn't very far off, so if you don't mind the finger exercise it takes to play it, you can play things. It's definitely easier to play in first position and the fret board wear shows this. It's an old Sears Roebuck guitar. This is a similar one I found on the web... https://reverb.com/item/1811317-1950-s-silvertone-archtop-sunburst I can't find the serial number on the guitar or I'd post it.

@Christian Jones I'm nothing special but I've spent a lot of time riding.

My wife's grandfather's guitar was left in the attic with strings on. The neck came away from the body. The tuners were unusable. This is it now...

Got a pic of the old one?

@Craig Anderton are you meaning live streaming or all streaming? I'm curious why it is different.

Multiband compressors are sometimes used lightly on the master, or a limiter, as John points out, but i never use a single band compressor on the master.

So I mix into meters to give me a picture of how hot I'm getting. It really helps until you get used to a certain sound. There are different thresholds I target depending on the music like -12 or -14. If I want to leave head room then appropriately lower than that. This makes it possible ease off compressors. appropriately so the limiter only trims a dB or 2. Now, if I'm being honest, I usually have a bounce before I'm applying a limiter and I apply the limiter so that I hit my average loudness target. All the songs will then have the same average loudness unless I mean for one to be quieter or louder. It doesn't happen by accident. If you don't learn your loudness metrics until you have your final export, it's a lot of work doubling back and easing off... then exporting and studying again. My meter of choice is the RME EBU Meter.

I'll bet you can repeat the issue and resolve it by switching the config setting I mention above. It's a beta setting. I think that was your problem. It has exactly the symptom you described. Noel, the lead programmer, is aware and advises not to use 3.

avoid the advanced threading scheduling model. Stick with 2 or less. Don't try 3. P ( for preferences ) > Config File > Thread Scheduling Model.

Damn dude. respect.

Oh wait... Another reason this happens to people is a bounce to track that isn't muted. 1. You have a mix that sounds great. 2. Bounce it to a track 3. Play all tracks (original plus new) without muting... Result: mix volume+3db.

Me too!

Jim helped me upgrade my motherboard this week. Pretty great imho and cheaper that all new.

Yes, I'm on the latest version. It's your file for import mono?

I have a friend who has always been analog only. He even has an analog guitar synth. There is no more withering comment from him than, sounds digital. He has been talking about the cool behringer stuff he has been researching... But i don't see any of it in his racks of synths. I definitely have not followed him down his analog only route. That said, my earthquaker pedals? I think they are kinda junk. Sorry earthquaker. But my cakewalk synths? Oh my! There go another 6 hours. Have you considered getting him syntorial? That's in your budget. https://www.syntorial.com/ This learning tool has been critical to my ability to enjoy synths over the years. There are things you can sync in digital that cannot be done with analog. The most obvious is tempo sync, but starting oscillators at the note-on event is another. This way the note attack is predictable.

If he likes bass, the moog minitaur is cool. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Minitaur--moog-minitaur-analog-bass-synthesizer I recognize it isn't in your price range but it is cool. Btw, my friend has one so i have personal experience.

I just tried and it worked fine for me. Did you already have 2 tracks?

3dB almost always indicates a stereo track switching to mono. When the two sides are combined it doubles the volume... 3dB.

Drag your backing track onto track 1. Add another track. Record enable that track. Click record. You may want to mute the metronome or turn it off. You may want to loop record... Shift+L when the backing track clip is selected to enable loop record. L toggles off and on.
