Eye contact? ?

Side chain is useful for dynamic ducking. Using shelves to cut ranges rather than high pass is also an idea.

Follow-Up to My Windows 10 Comments - I Spoke Too Soon!
Gswitz replied to Craig Anderton's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
This sounds awful. I'm so sorry! -
I'm sorry to hear about it. Sounds scary. Sunsets are better than plugins.

Thanks Craig. I hadn't heard of Microsoft Teams until you mentioned it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Teams Interesting.

For years I've posted MP3s to a Microsoft Azure Blobspace. Costs maybe $1-$2 per month if I had to pay for it which I don't because I get it free with an MSDN subscription for work which is like 'please learn to use Microsoft stuff' thing. Anyway, anyone can create one of these accounts and share their music with the internet that way. It's easy and you control it. I did the same for our church because they were asking me how to make their sermons less than 10 MB because that was all they could post to their web site. So I just set up a blob for them and they link to the blob from their website. Next, I get the idea to make an RSS file for their MP3s so they could be submitted to Google Play and iTunes for podcasts. This works. I'm totally surprised. It's not a hard thing to do. Anyway, it occurs to me that we all record a lot of music and it wouldn't be that hard to set one up for the forum. The music we post would have to be original and if we get any copyright claims we'd just pull it. @Bapu, what do you think? For those hopefuls, I don't think there's any money in this. ? It wouldn't be that much different from the songs forum, but when you get in your car to go to work, you'd be able to just bring it up on your car stereo and give it a listen (for those who can listen to podcasts in their car). Right now, I'm thinking I'd be a bottleneck. People would send me their songs and I'd post them (or cut them).

How Accurate Are the Resource Monitors?

Cakewalk not recording audio reliably
Gswitz replied to David A. White's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yeah.. +1 on punch. Noel, when punch is engaged and a user hits record and stop a bunch of times without crossing the punch point, perhaps there could be a punch reminder? -
Have you recorded the aux track? The exact amount of the increase seems like the stereo track had been duplicated. If you record the track and then still route through, you end up with exactly double the signal on each channel of the stereo pair which adds to 6db.

Happy Easter for Bandlab/Cakewalk squad and all users :)
Gswitz replied to Piotr's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I don't think the low shelf reduction is necessary. I listened to the 24 bit waves without it on the way to work. Sometimes the organ drowns the choir but that's what huge organs do. -

I captured a recording today. https://stpaulsrva.blob.core.windows.net/stpaulsrva/20190421_Easter_Music.mp3 I bounced it fast. I thought the low-end too loud so i cut it by 6db prior to export. I'm not confident about that choice. I used a pair of km184s and a akg c414 one step back from omni. No high pass used during recording. I used mautoalign to align the tracks and mspectral dynamics to compress multiband. -
Too much is never enough.

My wife just lost her job. We are celebrating. We'll see some mics. It'll be Ok. Anyone want a km184? ?

What are some of your favorite/fun plugins for creativity?
Gswitz replied to Mesh's topic in The Coffee House
I like using midi synths. I have GR3 pickup on my guitar which allows me to layer synths in. Rapture pro is fun. And with a touch screen you can use xy and move between sounds. There is hold pedal on my GR-20 so I can let sounds ring as I mess with the settings... adjust the levels of the synths in console view using a touch screen. Then play some more. God, it's deep. My favorite way to pass hours. Z3ta2 too. ? Reailly... it's an experience. For just playing through the amp, I like Earthquaker Devices mixed with the GR20 and my guitar. That's the next best to Rapture, but it's not as good. -
Audio Pops and Crackling During Playback while Mixing
Gswitz replied to Bill Phillips's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I exempt all wav files from scanning in addition to exes etc. I found that when I would stop a long recording the scanner would suddenly scan the waves. This would press processor for a few minutes and potentially cause IO driven dropouts.- 34 replies

I really disagree about cheap not being good. Cheap ribbons are often almost indistinguishable from very expensive ribbons. Preamps and impedance matter with ribbons. If you don't have either a low impedance pre 220-300, or super high impedance, then you might not love the result. In either case, a good pre makes it possible to enjoy a cheap ribbon. Learning curve in ribbons is steep. They are not for smokers. I adore how they sound have not needed to repair one yet. Guess that means I'm still a baby. Don't be scared of the $100 ribbon. It is a different class of mic and worth having. They are super on very loud guitars or horns. To me, they are almost like the first step in compression. The path to a buttery track. Now if you want insulation from your pre, buy an active ribbon. These make it easy to get great ribbon sound on any pre, but they cost more. Almost double in some cases. Some ribbon basics include... Store vertically, no phantom power, careful of puffs like from a kick. Don't let the kick sound hole fire smoke rings at your ribbon. Mxl makes nice reasonably priced ribbons. I regret how many years i went without a ribbon. I was scared of fragile. I didn't realize the awesome! Keep in mind the difference between any ribbon and any condenser or dynamic is way more than the difference of properly working ribbons in different price ranges.

Is Cakewalk gaining users/popularity with Bandlab?
Gswitz replied to Feral State Sound's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Idk if I agree with this. I think you'd be surprised. They don't always out themselves on forums. The don't always pick just one daw. I hear some creators have moved beyond their daw... Bapu shout-out. I think the role of engineer has hit the hobby community too. People take turns playing engineer for each other. But to say cakewalk doesn't have a role with pros is to ignore decades of evidence to the contrary. Just to point out the obvious, Craig Anderton. And there are so many more. Hi Bapu. -
So the slightly disturbing part is from Paulo's old thread it's clear I knew about the presentation at the time and viewed it before. So what does it say that I watched it as if for the first time today. ? Got to enjoy it twice, I guess. Like a goldfish lapping the tank marveling at the new castle every 5 seconds. bloop bloop bloop

Did anyone know about this or see it? Tech Talk - Cakewalk SONAR: Win32 lighting up on Windows 10 Published on May 9, 2017 Noel Borthwick A heads up for anyone attending the Microsoft Build conference in Seattle this year. Cakewalk and Microsoft are doing a tech talk demonstrating how Win32 applications can take advantage of some of the advancements on the Windows 10 platform. This is the only presentation at Build that focuses on media, audio and MIDI. There are two tech talks scheduled, on Thursday 5/11 2:30PM (Tech Talk C room) and Friday 5/12 10:30AM (Tech Talk C room). In the tech talks we’ll cover topics such as: UWP MIDI API with a hands on demo of how to integrate the UWP Win32 wrapper with a Win32 application Bluetooth LE MIDI Windows 10 WASAPI low latency audio support Multi-Touch and Pen support UWP desktop bridge At the talks we’ll be doing a live debug session of SONAR showing code integrating UWP MIDI. I may convince Pete Brown from Microsoft to jam on a Bluetooth MIDI controller with SONAR in that session, and we'll trace the life cycle of a MIDI note which should be fun On Friday between 12 and 3pm, we’re also doing a 3 hour “Solutions Spotlight” which will be a more open format permitting discussion with participants about the topics we’re presenting. If you’re going to be at Build please stop by or if you know someone attending please let them know about these sessions.
