  1. The software i was describing is called wirecast. I thought it was made by Google but maybe not. I have a version that was free with watermark and 50 usd to remove the watermark. I'm not sure this version is still available but i didn't read too closely. They are trying to sell much more expensive versions with features i don't need.
  2. The app will record or live stream so you can practice by recording. I have no issues. I use another app that records the screen and cam and mixes them. Microsoft expression. The two streams are off by a quarter second idk why.. For that one you cannot perfectly match sound to both.
  3. I loopback on my rme ucx. I have the spidf in plugged into the out. I send whatever to spidf out and that is what streams. There is a YouTube streaming app... I set the spidf in as the sound source. In video the sound can follow the video by a few milliseconds but it must not precede the video.
  4. I love life with my Rivera Rock Crusher. This makes my amp so much fun to play with!! No second amp required. In the studio, weight doesn't matter.
  5. Even Noel has come to recommend avoiding 3 for the time being.
  6. If you go to the oldest CPU setting in the config file you will notice you are pegging 1 CPU when you get the crackle. Up over 80% for a single CPU will do the trick. The modern CPU stuff doesn't really change this yet. But it does hide it by spreading the load across your CPUs. The easiest way to deal with it is to choose a patch with lower overhead (requires less CPU) or turn down the voices for your current patch. Concurrent voices dramatically drives up the CPU cost of the patch. You could also raise your processing ceiling by increasing your sample buffer for your interface.
  7. Yep. I can't find anything in theme editor or anywhere else that would help you.
  8. It's possible for a midi track to use a different key than the overall project key. You can totally set the key for the track. Optionally, you can have it force your notes to in key. You can right and left click drag notes to accidentals. People who are fast are super fast. Prv is hugely developed and awesome imho. I don't think I understand your problem at all.
  9. Bounce to clips commits trims to the tracks bounced to clip. This is something I regularly use when I'm splitting up a 3-4 hour performance into individual tracks. I do this by splitting all the tracks on either side of the song and then bouncing them all to clips. Now when I copy to a new project they are as small as can be. If I don't do the bounce to clips step, the entire tracks (3-4 hours long) are copied to the new project but it only displays the one song. This makes the size of the wave files unnecessarily large. It also takes longer to paint wave-forms for the tracks.
  10. I'm sorry Keni. BTW, if you got it at Sweetwater you might try their tech support.
  11. I would expect it to work. How can the device tell the difference? It takes in the midi and relays it. Idk though. No proof like trying.
  12. No. I can think of a way to do this without power. Midi supplies a tiny power drip. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MIDIExpand--keith-mcmillen-instruments-midi-expander?mrkgadid=3301332467&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=studio&recording=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046938536191&lid=92700046938536191&ds_s_kwgid=58700005285190824&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=467439732702&product_id=MIDIExpand&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid={product_store_id}&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid={loc_phyiscal_ms}&creative=280136033989&targetid=aud-297527862610%3Apla-467439732702&campaignid=1465808290&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjw1cX0BRBmEiwAy9tKHlX_AD_9BylvLFetZ3twJM-nXGdvpGcS0asuWlONQYxrLfokt1FP7xoCcNIQAvD_BwE Idk if this is any good.

  14. I haven't listened to either of these songs for years. I enjoyed both very much. Took me way way back. America more than the other one, but both were sweet.
  15. Whatever you're used to would be my suggestion.
  16. Gain staging in cakewalk has an entry in Craig Anderton's big book of tips.
  17. The reason to record at low levels is this. With modern digital equipment, you can still capture everything humans can hear at low levels. If your recording clips, it is very badly damaged. Recording at low levels reduces the risk of clips. ... Once recorded, i sometimes normalize to -3. Apply fx. Bounce to track. Observe the wave form. Normalize to -0.2 dB. Add limiter... Limit maybe 2 dB leaving -0.3 headroom on dynamic music because mp3s sometimes sound better this way. Anyway, leaving a tiny amount of headroom can help on d/a conversion with inter-sample peaks. This will create a good track for listening. Really, i apply compression and limiting to bring each track to a similar average loudness on an ebu meter. This makes it so that when you listen to the show start to finish it is all roughly the same volume. Using a meter as a guide, it is easier to avoid over or under compressing a track. It is a bit like dressing a kid to go play in the snow... How much is enough... How much is too much? Kid doesn't know and trusts you. You use your experience. Dress all your kids similarly so they will all get cold and come in near the same time. When you do it right, they all play until tired. .... Live performances only occur at one volume. The sound engineer mixes to make it sound great at that one volume. Recordings are different. At the time of mixing, the engineer should presume a wide array of listening volumes. Compromises are made to make sure it sounds as good as it can given that there will be n playback volumes and scenarios. Car... Mono... In a stadium... Radio... Home stereo... Club stereo... Ear buds... Nice headphones.
  18. It is possible to add musicians in series... So you play... I get your feed and add my part... Send the new on to the next person who adds their part... Then out to audience. This works... But each musician cannot hear the downstream musicians... Only the upstream. You can create some great jams this way.
  19. You nailed it. Reversing the plug for the Gr20 resolved the issue. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I'd ask how you new. I'm so grateful you did. Your answer also explains how I went for years without ever hearing it. If I had a 50/50 shot of plugging it in such that it wasn't an issue, I might have not had a discoverable issue at least half the time. ?
  20. Reset your config file to defaults. Thread Scheduling model of 3 is dangerous to me. I have mine at 2. Make sure it wasn't something in your config.
  21. This is not related to software glitches, i don't think. I don't think this is cable related. I don't change cables when i turn off the midi device and the bug stops. I don't change cables with the gr20 plugged in and on and i turn off the inst setting in rme totalmix on the track. I think this is a shielding issue... Or something to do with the power supply used for the inst that is somehow mixed up with the midi. The clicks are in exact time with the blinking light on the rme ucx indicating midi traffic.
