I would stay away from gimmicks like the light up keys because they can easily become crutches that actually end up being an impediment to learning. Also, if piano is what you want to learn, be sure to get something with weighted piano action keys. The playing experience is very different.

Casio makes exactly what you're asking for.

Really, you snowflakes have no idea what rude is. Pathological is Social Justice Warriors like you two following some guy around the forum trying to police his activity and protect people who never asked for your help from imagined harm. Joe here ( the OP) is a grown man and if he thinks I am being too harsh I think he can presumably stand up for himself. You and your pal John B need to get some of your own damn business and go mind it. If I or anyone else is out of line, this forum does have moderators for that. And y'all ain't them. If my comments bother you that much, be an adult and skip over them. I'm not going to let Snowflake SJWs silence me. It is quite obvious to me that neither of y'all has ever worked in a field where mistakes and incompetence can get people killed. Fiddle-f**k around there without learning anything and see how people talk to you.

What workaround? There's no workaround. The project ends where the data ends. That's the cause. Every time this happens it is because there is data beyond where you think the end of the song is. And every time you delete that, you fix it. It really isn't that difficult to understand. If the music ends at measure 100 but you have a CC event or automation node at measure 200, guess what. Your project ends at measure 200.

Glad I could help. I guess you should change your thumb down...

Oh, dear me. That breaks my heart. I think I'm gonna need some f***ing trauma counseling or some s**t.

If my manner gives you the vapors so bad, you can always put me on your ignore list and go back to pretending the whole world is sunshine and rainbows and unicorns.... In the meantime, since you're so gung-ho and all about massaging people's poor little feelings you could at least have enough respect to spell their names correctly.

First off, neither of those are Cakewalk plugins. So you'd have to ask their respective developers.

Rebooted yet?

Audio snap is rather iffy in the first place but it works better on smaller clips. Even at that, it takes a lot of manual work to get decent results. Thinking you can just slap it on and it is like waving a magic wand is disappointment in the making.

I'm more than happy to point people to resources where they can find the answers they need. That is what real help is rather than spoon feeding them. Teaching how to catch fish rather than just handing them out. You can't help people who won't be helped. This is at least the third thread from the OP on the exact same self-imposed "issue." Much extremely helpful advice has been given and apparently ignored. He's been pointed to John Vere and Creative Sauce's extremely clear and concise tutorials by more than one person. Including me. Both explain things so well and so clearly that even my technophobe wife who hates computers and has nowhere near the software experience this guy claims caught on immediately. If you can't get it between the two of those guys then there really doesn't seem to be much hope...

30 years and the OP has made no headway????

You have been answered before....

Irrelevant. That's certainly enough time to get practiced up.... I'll put money on there being nothing at all wrong with your singing voice and you're just overly critical and have unrealistic expectations of an inhuman level of perfection.

Reductio ad Absurdum Totally bogus examples because altering pitch and tempo through varying tape speed doesn't concern fixing substandard performances. Critical thinking is a valuable skill.

Bullshit.

Yeah. Snowflakes don't like me very much because I have a bad habit of telling the unvarnished truth.

There's no reason to spend stupid money on tubes because there ain't a dime's worth of difference. That's what people find out when they bother to apply the scientific method to actually testing them instead of voodoo marketing claims and expectation bias.

? Highway robbery!

It is possible to get a good and robust performance out of a 4 track cassette Portastudio. Just ask Bruce Springsteen. https://tascam.com/us/support/news/481 Proof right there that talent makes great recordings, not gear. My problem is using crutches to try covering up for a lack of practice. Tools like Melodyne are just the ticket for salvaging an otherwise great performance where one or two notes are out of place by nudging them back towards where they belong but using them as a substitute for skill is shameful. As far as "Every professional singer in the industry us[ing] Melodyne," that is not only just not true, but the ones who do only fix the few notes that are out of tune instead of laying it on thick like a soul-sucking blanket over everything. That "not perfect" of yours is called "human." People complain all the time about how new music just can't stand up to the old classics. And this is a large part of why: the relentless pursuit of the unobtainable which goes by the name of "perfection" and which sucks all the life out of a performance. Except that by the time the engineer gets finished making everything "perfect" it is no longer a performance but a manufactured product. Boring. Disposable. I shake my head in wonder. 20 years ago we used to spend countless hours in the studio editing robotic, sequenced MIDI tracks trying to make them sound human. Now we've turned the world on it's head and we spend countless hours in the studio editing and quantizing human-performed tracks to make them sound like they were produced by machines. If you think that pointing all these facts out is "hurling insults" then that says more about you than about me. So when your brand new wonder interface doesn't fix your problem, just remember that I told you so.

Complete Bovine Excrement. They must have forgotten to tell Frank Sinatra, Robert Plant, Tony Bennett, Paul Rogers, Elvis Presley, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin.... The list goes on. Hell, even Madonna scored a couple of one-takes. Ozzy Osbourne, who is definitely no Ronnie James Dio, recorded the entire Black Sabbath album in one take start to finish live on the floor along with his band mates. In the '50s and '60s -even all the way into the '90s and early 2000s, if it took you 50 takes you'd get kicked out of the studio. As it should be. Because that's not even amateur; its just plain incompetent. Back on point: I hope your new interface works out for you, but if you're not happy with your RME, I don't see what will.

My car won't start. I drove it yesterday and it was fine. What happened?

Well, what are you doing with Melodyne and where are these "wonky syllables" coming from?

You're going to get mad at me, but what you really need is some vocal training....

There are MIDI in and out ports on the back of it, presumably so you can hook up your synthesizer. Knowing that midi data doesn't have any sound, how do they expect you to get the audio output from that synthesizer into your interface?
