Idk if that makes any sense to me, but maybe i don't get it yet. On lots of radio shows, the host's Mic triggers hard side chain compressors on the guests'. This guarantees the host will win a shouting match. It also trains the host to not accidentally talk over guests. You mention gating though. Gating and expansion are useful for suppressing noise when mics aren't actively engaged. To me, i would not side chain expanders. The gate should be 100% out of the way for the quietest syllable the user of the Mic speaks. I wouldn't want the gate off because someone else was speaking.

It's a VST Plugin called Channel Tools

Fleer, I'm a bit of a simpleton. ? Years ago I picked up the Melda mastering bundle and I found many things to like. Several of the plugins became my most frequently used. MAutoAlign (I record acoustic instruments playing at the same time often and this is a huge help). MSpectralDynamics (There have been many discussions on this, especially Bit Flipper's article. It's kinda like a multi-band compressor that has a very deep threshold, low ration and is always on... mixed back with the original track to taste. MLimiter-MultiBand. These things were my favorites. I would sometimes use the convolution verb as well. From there, I grew to slowly expand my interests and decided to take advantage of the discounted complete. When you buy the smaller bundles, Melda will give your credit towards the complete based on what you have purchased so far. * MWobbler was also another early purchase I find amusing.

I also bought the Melda complete bundle. Have you checked out MDrummer? Pretty cool. Takes a sec to get everything downloaded and working, but worth investigating if you haven't. https://www.meldaproduction.com/download/mdrummer-packs

I have both and prefer melda.

I've had mixed results. I got one that didn't work on arrival. Others that failed after a few months light use. Running drive and memory scans might help identify a dud faster. I agree they have usually replaced a part before shipping. Part of the question is what caused the part to go bad... If it was a manufacturing defect, it may be that they fixed the only bad part. If it was baked in the Nevada sun in the back of a truck for a week, there may be more than one thing wrong.

What azslow is saying is go into preferences and set up your controller with the midi input of your choice.

I use the auto save of versions. If i leave sonar on and idle, all my rollback versions become the same. Doesn't really matter unless it does. ? For this reason, i usually close it. That said, i have walked away overnight with it still recording... So I'm not perfect.

Like the song Fred, you only have to have something in common with the prior post.

No words.

On my interface, there is a total reset choice that resets all the ins and outs to standard settings. I use this reset often and anytime I'm troubleshooting.

Under power options... Advanced... Disable usb selective suspend. On network adapters, disable power options... This is in device manager. If you have Wi-Fi, disable it.

I always aspired to be an average student. Never rose to that level. My kid revels in crushing me in everything. One way to build the kid's confidence is do so badly yourself they are sure to shine in comparison.

My daughter hangs out for hours with her phone and my gear. Last night, I recorded for a few hours with a friend. This morning I noticed the compressor knobs had been arranged in pretty patterns that have nothing to do music. I don't think she knows the Attack > Release > Ratio > Threshold method of setting a compressor. There's always new things to teach your kid. ? Fortunately, I record the tracks pre-compressor also.

Yes they have separate accounts.

I've read in a book for my daughter. The behavior is a little different than audio recording. It's like having 1 and only 1 instrument. You are reading and may discover annunciations or inflections that work best as you read. So you double back and read the same part again better. I hit M to mark every case where I want to remove a false-start. When I remove the false starts, it moves the audio to the right. So when I clean it, I work from the end to the beginning, fixing each case and deleting the marker. To do it efficiently, you don't want to have to re-wind and restart every time you want to re-do a section. Hitting M at each case ensures you will revisit them all. The same thing basically works for pod-casts where you are free talking... you want to talk casually and not in a rehearsed way, but this creates a lot of content you don't want to post. You have to have efficient methods for pruning the cr*p.

Yeah... Not a great solution. Sorry... Best i got.

My kid said with such disdain, 'this isn't a gaming pc.' But she runs origin with lots of games on my daw. Madden 2020... Fps games i don't know the names of, Sims. My wife and kid can both log in to my daw. I have oracle express and visual studio installed. I don't know what messaging apps people use. We might be short on those. We use r studio to oracle. I use atom for working in text files like sql, xml, json, ts. I run git bash. Daws are cakewalk, mixbus, and rme tools. I don't dual boot. I watch college games with my dad on it, using the internet connection to stream and my alpha track as volume control. In the end my kid has been quite happy using my daw. She still prefers her Switch and that is just fine with me. For my wife, my daw is a printer.

I've got no great way to do this, but this is the best I've found... Select all in the event viewer (showing only notes)... CTRL+CLICK every other one. You can then shift to Piano Roll View and have every other note selected.

Maybe there's a way to do it in Event Viewer? I don't know.

I'd love to see a live unedited recording of his actual gigs.

Keep your head. I'm sure we can get it working for you. I love mine.

Length is more important than price. Shorter is better. I like cables that have some difference between them so I can keep them straight. Some variance in colors or ends helps there. I wouldn't want 16 identical cables b/c I'd have to mark them myself. I've acquired my cables over decades so they look different. It has been decades since I've had one that went bad. They do sometimes go bad, but not that often if you treat them lovingly. Don't walk on your cables. Definitely don't bounce on them as you jump to the beat. I was running sound for some band in the Boulder band shell when some guy did this. haha. Nothing I could do to help that! I got a 25 ft snake this year and it has been handy. A nice thing to be able to have the DAW a nice distance from the amps. Previously, I've linked two mic cables when necessary. Guitar output is actually kinda strong (electrics). I didn't know that when I started. Phantom Powered mics do ok with distances up to 100 ft too. Be cautious with the ribbons. They have a very faint signal. Jerry Garcia said once that the longer your cable the more it's like turning down your tone nob on your guitar. When he first found himself on enormous stages, he got really really long cables for fun and was like, 'What happened?' ? At 12:31 he says get cables that won't break. I totally agree with that. If you ever have a bad experience with a cable, mark it like a bad climbing rope.

In cakewalk there is a virtual controller you can open up. Can you get it working with that? If it works with the virtual controller, then I would agree that the next step is to ensure that the signal is coming in properly. When things weren't working for me once where I was having a hard time figuring it out, I needed to go into Preferences (hit P) > Midi > Control Surfaces and delete a surface I use sometimes but didn't have plugged in at the moment. That surface was steeling my midi input. Beyond that, things usually work by the book for me. If I add a midi track and step on the FCB 1010 I can see the midi jump on the channel (after hitting the record enable)... next, route it to the input on the VST (which has to be enabled as we've talked about). Other than that, there isn't much left. Does the midi meter jump when you step on the stomps for the FCB 1010? Are you sure your in/out cables are plugged in correctly? have you flipped them to see? I can't read that small print and always go trial and error to get that right.
