Operating as designed.

So, where's the deal?

In all the articles I've read even where engineers are using 70 bazillion mics on the drum kit, I have never seen mention of a separate side stick signal. Probably the way this would be accomplished is through automation. Although I have to say that past a certain point adding more complexity to a mix only adds - complexity.

I'm getting the same thing too. The workaround I found has been to alternately "save as" 2 different versions of the title such as [Title] and [Title1]

Here's a shot in the dark: Maybe because it's not possible to have a separate side stick microphone, that option isn't available. I would dive into the documentation, myself.

The Yangqin is indeed cool. I've used it already.

Perhaps I should be the one apologizing. And perhaps I should have my coffee prior to reading and replying to messages. I completely misread your post. ? Shake hands?

You obviously don't understand how password managers work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager WAY more secure, WAY easier and you can never be as good at generating truly random passwords as a mathematical algorithm.

I think it's supposed to be like that.

Time to join the 21st Century and use a password manager.

What type of pickup and why is this of concern?

The Nike method.

You haven't told us anything about your setup.

Before, you were using your ears instead of relying on software to do it for you.

Soundblaster cards are garbage. Not even worth it as a paperweight because they're too light. Take it to the electronics recycler and get a real audio interface.

NEVER update in the middle of a project.

I think you probably hit the nail right on the head. These "investment" companies aren't really interested in actually investing in anything and developing it so much as they are in buying something and skimming the money off the top. As long as it's profitable. Then they dump it.

I have no idea what you're talking about. After FINALLY getting real internet at my rural house, it took me maybe about 30 minutes -if that- to dl & do a fresh install on my desktop where I had been stuck on SPLAT & I have been working ever since.

I thought that's what all the faders in the console view were for.

Maybe if you try both John's suggestions and adopt a sensible workflow instead of the convoluted nonsense you've got going on? No one else is having issues like this. No one else is driving all the way around the block to get next door, either.

You can't just slap a bunch of orchestral samples on a MIDI file and expect it to sound like anything.

Presets are designed to sell product, not to sound good in your mix.

This all sounds unnecessarily complicated.

That's not very nice. It's funny, but not very nice.

Time to update the interface, too.
