What in the world are you talking about?

Project 5 doesn't exist any more.

No. Yes.

I was pretty well disappointed with retrohit. Not because it doesn't sound decent but because it doesn't quite live up to their description. Of the "50 Drum kits," only 10 are an actual kit and the rest of the "kits" are all kicks, all snares, etc. Also, of the "vintage drum machines namely, EMU sp12, OB- MX, LINN DRUM and Fairlight" that were sampled, there is no documentation telling you what's what. An email to support elicited no further information. Its cool that you get 600 samples, but I wish I could construct my own drum kits within their plugin instead of loading them into something else or, better, that all "50 drum kits" were complete drum kits and that they told you what was what.

I forgot to mention Voltage Modular. I started out with Ignite to play around a little. I got the MS Vintage and Vintage Voice bundles when they were on sale b/c I thought it would be cool to build virtual Eurorack versions of the Korg MS20 and ARP 2600/Odyssey. Not long after that, I saw I could get Ignite for $25. No-brainer! Not long after that, I saw I could get Core for another $25! Another No-brainer! With a few other modules, I might be $100 into this thing altogether.

A real musician would accomplish this feat by slowing down and then speeding back up. What kind of perfection are you after? Maybe you are doing some kind of avant garde experimental stuff beyond the comprehension of my simple Rock&Roll brain, but it sounds to me like you are expecting a level of precision beyond the capability of any human performer. Absent something like a per track tempo map, the only two ways I could think to accomplish this fee would be either to play it in the way you want it or break out the calculator.

All Reaper is doing is changing the note values, which is exactly what would happen if you did like I suggested. If you really wanted to, you could do the math. No problem! Play it perfectly. ? Some problems really do have simple solutions. ?

Then play the part in the way you want it to be.

Yeah. I guess I'm not on board. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

I don't get it. Changing the tempo is how you would do that.

Yes. I use quantize much more than I care to admit and it operates as designed. "Operating as designed" does not mean " operating the way you want it to." Math is hard .... Jeez! Even my discalculiac self can figure this out. Look, I don't know what you two are trying to accomplish - or prove - but I'm not going to create some test project with the timing so grossly out of whack to "test" the limits of the quantize feature. Because I know I won't get good results. Quantize is there to tighten up a performance that is a little bit off - key words being "little bit" - not get a perfect groove from somebody who can't tell the difference between the pocket and his a**h***.

The Athanor Sound Labs mobile/ studio B is slowly dying. What out there would be suitable for running CbB without much of a struggle? Hopefully for around $500- 700. I can't make sense of all the different variations of processors, etc. This wouldn't be for anything heavy duty. Mostly audio with a few VSTis and not much in the way of sample libraries. Thanks in advance.

Well, duh.... That's not what it says at all. The window straddles the grid point, with half of it before and half after. NOT the same thing. "Strength" refers to how much notes are quantized while "window" controls which notes are. A Strength of 100% snaps every quantized note (as determined by the Window) exactly to the grid. 90% moves them 90% closer, 80% moves them 80% closer and so on. That's closer to the grid from where they are now. "Window" is where it can get counterintuitive because only notes within the window get quantized. With a window of 100%, all notes are quantized. Because it straddles the grid points, a window of 90% only quantizes notes that are within 45% before and 45% after the grid. Ironically, the more rhythmically accurate your performance is, the better results you will get. Much like pitch correction: the less you need it, the better it works. So if your playing is really sloppy - like my keyboard playing is - your quantize results can be quite unpredictable.

I finally made the plunge for 50% of the crossgrade price on BF. $125 is a smokin' deal.

That was great! I liked the way the addition of synthesizers and guitars, as well as your vocal style, gave it kind of a darkwave flavor that is quite different than the original which is just bass drums and vocals.

I thought the orchestration was really well done. After the first time the brass comes in, I like how it comes in and then drops out instead of continuing. I also really liked the way about halfway through the when the brass drops out and the whole orchestration Steven's way out and the dynamic gets so much quieter. That was really effective and really grabbed my ear. Completely unexpected.

Yes. The quantize function always works as expected.

It must not have been very important.

There's nothing wrong with quantize; it works exactly as it is designed. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.39.html This has been a feature probably since Cakewalk was a DOS program. I think if there was a bug in it there would be more reports than just yours.

This is one of the busiest forums I've seen. Steinberg's is a ghost town. There's threads on the FIRST PAGE where the most recent post is from 2018!

Re-record it and save money on aspirin.... ?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the size of the last project that was open?

What instrument do you have your MIDI track routed to?
