  1. Honest to God, the vocals sounded 100 times better before.
  2. Go to the event list and remove any volume controllers.
  3. Just for that, I went and found it and listened to the whole thing. 1)You're singing flat. The reason people sing flat is typically because they are pushing too hard and/ or there is a lot of tension in their vocal tract. I can hear the tension around your larynx. I can even feel it. If I imagine myself making the same sounds, I can actually feel my vocal tract tense and strained. You need to relax. The more you try to force things, the worse it gets. Counterintuitively, the higher and harder you sing, the more relaxed you need to be. 2)Your performance lacks passion. You don't convince me. It lacks passion because you are trying so hard not to mess up that it gets in the way of conveying emotion. And that brings us back to 1: relax. No amount of magic plugins will ever fix that tension or that fear. I know that we have gone around and around with this before but I'm telling you: if you spent the money and effort you have on plugins on vocal training instead, you would be much better off. But if you have already made your mind up, nothing I say will convince you. I didn't hear a terrible voice. I heard an untrained voice.
  4. We tend to remember only the good parts of the good old days. There was some really crappy music in the '60s and '70s. Probably even worse than today.
  5. Melodyne needs to be used as a region FX and not in the FX bin
  6. Its a scam just like Android phones. There is absolutely no reason why a phone can't be updated to newer versions of Android but the manufacturers make you buy a whole new device. Bovine Excrement! Proof is the Google Pixel but they are so damn expensive. Determined, I searched and searched and found two solutions: Nokia sells unlocked phones that they give you two Android version updates for. Or, if you are tech weenie enough, and have the right one, you can root the phone and install a custom ROM
  7. I bet a proper audio interface with proper ASIO drivers will solve that.
  8. Based on your "old voice is so bad" comment, I think your real solution here is voice lessons.
  9. I believe one can think of it as using the voice as an oscillator for a synthesizer.
  10. How many times are you going to cross post this?
  11. Um... That would kind of defeat the purpose of a vocoder....
  12. I really need more virtual instruments like I need a hole in my head but these are intriguing to say the least. And for a good cause too? I'm in.
  13. I'm just wondering how you know what diesel oil tastes like.
  14. If you give yourself one or two measures of count in, that won't happen.
  15. 1)The quickest way to get a million dollars as a musician is to start out with two million. 2) He's going to be competing against kids who have been playing and practicing constantly since before they were knee high to a snake. 3) College is so grossly overrated. Most kids would be better off learning a trade instead of getting suckered into the lie (and the bills!) that you have to get a college degree to get a decent job.
  16. You're not going to want to hear this, but the solution is to ditch it and move on and not keep fighting with abandonware for Windows XP and Vista that hasn't been updated in over a decade.
  17. I don't know why you'd want to. They help delineate the grid in blank areas where there is no data.
  18. Sounds like a Native Instruments issue rather than a Cakewalk one
