  1. Melda. I bought the everything package on sale. In part, I decided learning one plugin set was easier. I also had the cash. For years I've had their mastering bundle. They gave me a further discount for the plugins i already own. Honestly, i didn't know they had a drum synth [pretty fun]. They also gave a synth synth that sounds cool. Really, I've been starting slowly getting into them all. So many creative choices.
  2. @craigr68You don't have to use pcs to automate thu anyway. Just use notes. Works fine. I can make a video demonstrating if you really need it. I have some around thu and the fcb1010 i know. Whether they spell out the answers to your exact questions idk. Search YouTube for gswitz101 and you will turn them up. @Noel Borthwick sorry for the final off topic post. Ty for being awesome and fixing the bug. Craig and i can take this offline or start a new thread.
  3. I use thu with vst3 and i change banks and patches with my fcb1010. What are you trying to automate that you can't? I suppose i do save my usual patches in a bank to make it easy to shift through them. I have not tried mapping sets of commands to a single stomp or having specific stomps bringing up specific sounds. I can bring up any patch i like and use fixed stomps so no matter what patch i get, my reverb stomp toggles reverb and delay toggles delay etc.
  4. If you open the markers view you can select a range between any two markers. When you have no markers between your start of timeand end of tune markers you can select all and then click the ruler between the markers. If you are exporting a clip you bounced just click the clip.
  5. Sure. You can mix to a surround output if you want. You could choose some content for center, some for left and right you could even do a brief delay before the rear speakers if you want. It's hard to make it sound good without listening on a surround system of your own (even if you have to burn it to DVD and listen in your living room or a friend's living room. But, yes, you make a stereo mix 'surround'. You'll still have to pick music for each of the 5 channels. Front left and right should be easy enough. You can set rear left and right to the same or give it some small off-set. You will have the biggest struggle with the center channel I think. Channel tools plugin might help there.
  6. This is almost exactly what i use except mine are slightly lifted off my ears.
  7. I use a phone app called Chord! http://getchord.com/ It has all the chords, shapes, positions, scales... You can enter any set of chords and it will recommend scales to use.
  8. They oughta hold a follow up to the G7 summit a week later and call it the C Major Summit...Maybe that would resolve everything!
  9. You are at another level from me. I feel silly for having chimed in. I love playing jazz tunes but I am mostly terrible. I've been working on God Bless the Child most recently. I usually get distracted and just noodle for hours. ? I have a 'How to learn keyboard' program from a million years ago that's awesome and teaches shells. I'd never heard of them before I started using that app. It makes a ton of sense to divide the 1+5 to the left hand and the 3+7 to the right on a keyboard. I find it hard to be so organized on the guitar.
  10. Hey Bill, don't forget to look for walking lines between the changes. Those can help it groove a little and also distinguish the A parts from each other in AABA patterns. By this i mean look for cases where you can walk a III of one chord to a VII of another for example... Either up or down... Chromatic is always a choice too.
  11. If you can, you might. If you can't you may never know what you might have done with the power. For me, i love to play my guitar through midi synths with high voice count pads selected. This works fine when i play slowly but as i quicken the pace, i cause issues because all the voices stick on one processor, usually the first. So, i let go and don't use it. I use weak second choice stomp boxes that aren't close to being as cool.
  12. With phantom, preamps matter less. That's part of the idea around ribbons that take phantom... Any preamp works. Different pres make a difference, but none as much as the Mic. Don't forget shock mounts for the mics too.
  13. Shifting between tools is kinda fun. As long as the handle doesn't break, i can dig fairly good holes with lots of shovels. Under pressure, I'll surely pick up a trusted, sturdy friend.
  14. flirting with the politics tos.
  15. Obviously taking a sec before 4.20. Duh. ? Jk No, i can't think of what might cause all projects to drop out at 4.17. Have you used latency monitor to make sure you have your computer tuned for real time audio?
  16. Could you use a stack of midi filters to do this?
  17. https://www.ebay.com/i/323879731908?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=323879731908&targetid=475515018221&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9008393&poi=&campaignid=1669934840&mkgroupid=65058350539&rlsatarget=pla-475515018221&abcId=1139296&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjw1_PqBRBIEiwA71rmtfHdBqCFlWq8vBEM9MVMivNWM8jdmiKQyZoOd5vYse1AI3k87JieARoCvckQAvD_BwE I use a frontier design alpha track. It works with a 30ft usb extension that gives me plenty of slack.
  18. I have off ear headphones i can wear indefinitely. I cannot wear closed back headphones more than on hour or so.
  19. That's the type of thing that indicates it isn't authorized for some reason. I don't have that problem but I purchased the full version of Breverb. Is it possible you downloaded the full version as a trial and never purchased it and just forgot?
  20. I think it's ok to play with your output eq. I do it when I'm listening to netflix too. You can her all kinds of interesting things that aren't obvious if you don't. It can give you a sense of the mixing too. I was pretty eq timid when I started way back when. I'm more laid back about it now. I let my mixes wander. They don't all have to be the same. It's ok to do things differently on different mixes. It's ok to listen at times to the highs pressed, or the lows or both. Or the mids. It can be an education.
  21. I wonder if our difference in process might explain some of the diffs in result. I usually fast bounce to a new track then export that clip with no processing. This makes the export go super fast and I can export to different bit-depths and sample rates where that will be the only difference. I don't know if this helps but it might help you isolate the difference to only the exports.
  22. For me, after the last windows update, I had to re-register some of my plugins (like AD2). I also had to zip through all the hardware and disable the selective suspend stuff. In other words, I had to kick off Latency Monitor and hunt down all the issues that come with a fresh install. HTH
  23. You do a null test by re-importing the file you just exported into a new track exactly lined up with the clip you exported. Do this by using ctrl+g to move to the beginning of the selected clip, set focus on the new track then import the file you exported. Now you have two copied of the same clip aligned. If you flip the polarity (phase) on the track you just imported and play the two together you should get silence. If you bounce the two clips together and normalize the new clip you should get flat silence.
  24. Interesting. I've never seen that. Any chance other audio is getting in? If you import and do a null test does it match? It should.
