Wow! Can't beat this deal! https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/compressors-limiters/teletronix-la-2a-tube-compressor.html

Nice attitude! I will check these out later today when my DAW is up! Thanks!

I briefed through the thread a moment ago. I don’t know if this (or something like it) might help. Way back in the days where all instruments were a piece of gear separate from the pc. I still have a couple of these with all my stored hardware. JLCooper MIDI patchbay. If I remember correctly, they had 16 discrete MIDI inputs and 12(?) discrete outputs with a fully configurable combination of connections. It also had an extremely deep MIDI filtering system capable of very specific, complex combinations of what, & how was (might) to be filtered. And of course, something like 128 patches of different setups of all this. All 5pin DIN connectors as that was all that existed at that time. I don’t know if these are still available or not, but I’m betting there’s one or more companies out there making variations on this theme. Likely even some less comprehensive, but more focused on your needs? Hmmm. Just came to mind that someone probably has a MIDIdriver loop that offers complex MIDI filtering? Sorry for not having more specifics...

I’ve found same deal elsewhere online for download version skeptical only due to previous experience with corel long ago (i still have the cd/dvd) I like Photoshop much better but trapped with v7 (win7 era) as I refuse their current online only policy...

Hi Gang! I’m new to this thread, but I’ve had such a setup running (still do) here using a Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL as primary interface and a very old device, a Soundscape (I forget the model #) 8 i/o interface. No preamps on this puppy only +6 lines so I gotta hit them hard enough (pro vs semi at -10). I have rarely used it this last decade but it runs clean. The VSL interface software makes this really simple as my adat connection simply shows as additional faders after the Presonus 8. Labeled as adat and grouped in general. Displayed in Cake in respective fashion. I found this an easy way to acquire 16 i/o.

Strange occurences Suddenly Appear? I don't know if this is new to the current release, but I've never seen this before. Using Cherry Audio's CA2600 for a simple monophonic line. All was well. Track was frozen. I had need to unfreeze the track for some re-arrangement of the music clips. All was still fine. Everything played correctly. Then I began to freeze my tracks and coming to this synth in turn (last synth to freeze individually) after freezing, the audio track is empty! No sounds have been frozen. So I unfreeze and now discover that the synth is playing, but no sound is arriving at the vst's audio output. I re-traced all i/o and nothing has changed, but now the synth will not emit any sound? So I insert a new instance of same vst and copy the MIDI clips from the previous track, duplicate PC settings and fx rack plugins. Call the same patch and voila! It works! Until I freeze it??? Then it becomes empty once again and the routine can be repeated over again with the exact same responses.... Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I've never had this with any synth. Not even previous uses of this vst! What might have changed to make this one synth behave this way? only now? So at first I thought it's the new update. I don't know, but this is a new situation for me here and the only thing changed is the update (and added Next but I doubt that relates) Thanks for your eyes... Sorry to pester anyone Edit: I see that if I add a new instance and copy all plugins/settings, then freeze, it freezes correctly, but if I unfreeze it and try to re-freeze it, the routine repeats... So I have a workaround for the moment, but something strange is going on here!

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. All drum software has sounds assigned to keys. You need/can not do that for the most part. But all products don’t map their' sounds to a specific standard. There are a few standard practices that many adhere to. You need to see if your product's manufacturer opted to add this. Others assign such to an articulation which requires a combination of one key to switch to articulations and another to describe which articulation. So either of these may be used in CbB. You can create or find an articulation created for your need. Then insert that event into any project via their articulation functions. A separate item to learn unto itself. The other method first described is an older method used before articulations were invented/added. It is simply the sound of the cymbal being played, choked. A sample which is tied to choke the cymbal just as hi hat successive event can. ...but the manufacturer has to offer one of these options and most do.

No. Not necessarily. It needs to have a method of doing this. The most popular/common is to have actual sample/event assigned to a specific key. So I would scour the manufacturer’s keymap. It’s easy to miss finding on many maps. I myself constantly lose my place in Superior Drummer’s map which I find I don’t like it’s organization, but you get used to it with time. Often a workaround for most drum software can be to insert a zero-velocity event where desired. Not always effective. Depending on re-trigger settings, one can turn off the previous when overlapped as discussed fir typical high hat setups.

Discord is... well... discord! I find it rather painful to use to begin with... I just did a couple of posts about my first NEXT experiences....

Very sad! I remember long ago making the same decision about not adding iTunes to a pc! I have iTunes on my apple gear only! A bit of a pain for transference of music due to apples proprietary manner of controlling media... but not bad once setup. I share a mac/windows machine and simply boot to mac, then laod songs from the pc partition into itunes... Easy now! How do we do that to discord? Any way to get it to echo to simple browser or some such? Then again, as I'm not a beta tester for Next (Applied but didn't get the call) there's a chance I may never need it anyway as I fully expect I will be buying/installing Sonar immediately upon release but Next? Maybe check it out somewhere down the road if the price is right?

Thanks for the word Glenn! I doubt I would, but now I know I won’t. I've had discord on my iPad for many years where it causes no issues. Especially none related o any music gear! A friend insisted I needed it for more secure communication only to drop it shortly after I got it. Then Cakewalk used it to handle their iPad app communication. It sits there getting updated periodically gut I don’t remember when I last opened it!

I didn't mean to belittle it... I was only commenting on the appearance. Not toy or child-like as the OP had posted, but similar in appearance to the browser... I think I saw something I wasn't supposed to. There was a post a bit earlier (days) that showed the manual and I dared to browse it's contents. I didn't really check too many details as I didn't know the legitimacy of the doc I was seeing though it's content seemed too much for a joke... It seems to offer plenty of power, though I don't think it's for me... I am very happy with Cakewalk/Sonar and always have been. Yes, I have my wishes & complaints, but overall there's not a better DAW in the world for ME!

A bit harsh, but to me it looks like a program version of the Bandlab editor...

Interesting. I'm sure to learn more about this as I begin using the software...

Not sure what the convoroom reverb is but if it's in there, I'm sure to find it!

Thanks Patrick... What was needed here ws to install the previous version 2.0.5 which installed fine, then updated it to 2.0.6 which is now installed and working fine!

Yeah, that was my impression as well. I still have a boxed copy if the original SampleTank from back in the floppy disk days! I find stuff all over the place inside SampleTank and constantly changing windows

That’s me for sure. I do mostly rock/jazz so I don’t often have orchestral needs! This stuff sounds (largely) great for me!

Wow! Amazing that this circumvented the problem. 2.0.6 now installed and working fine. Thanks again to all!

Really? I guess I can always re-install the older version again if not. Hopefully I won't have to re-install all the sounds! ?

Yeah Baby! Got it working at last! Thanks for the cool software and the assistance getting it working. Reverting back to version 2.0.5 did the trick... Something it doesn't like in .6 I'm impressed so far. With all the complaining of how old and lo-fi (comparitive) this set is, I'm finding it quite elegant. I don't do a lot of orchestra but I'm sure these will be a big help!

Thanks again... That did it! It now opens in Cake just fine. Now downloading all the sound content!

Thanks KiteKrazy! Going to look into it now...

To offer more info... These are the two error messages I continue to get when vst scanner hits the Miroslav plugin...

This is getting painful Peter... What have I done wrong? Miroslav is installed and authorized, but the Cakewalk VST Scanner continues to fail when it hits this app. Claiming something about vpa files not loading and some kind of controller error? I just installed SampleTank once again but that didn't fix anything either. What am I missing? Why won't Miroslav load? Very typical windows 10 setup. All else is working fine including SampleTank...
