Computers do what you tell them to, not what you want them to. The sooner you get that into your head the happier you're going to be. Did you even bother looking in the documentation to see if that's even a feature that's available?

Cakewalk is not a video player.

I despise Crapple for this very reason....

This was originally going to be done with my Korg X3 and E-mu Proteus FX until the E-mu died. Digital Sound Factory saved it with their SoundFonts of the Proteus 1,2 and 3 modules. While the FX is based on the same samples as the 1&2, the sounds aren't exactly the same. This got me close enough and I was able to complete the project in the same spirit. I was going for an 80's style synth tune. Yeah I know that the X3 and Proteus modules are 90's but the idea was to do it using only the vintage hardware. Even though I had to cheat. Lots of help on the arrangement and style from Band-in-a-Box (edited later in CbB). All the little ear candy bits I played in myself. I hope I captured the feel decently. I never really paid attention to this kind of thing the first time. I grew up as a Rocker and Metalhead and back then it was "eeeewww, synthesizers." Now we have Rammstein, Fear Factory and Dimmu Borgir. I'm not sure exactly what genre this is. Synthwave? It's not quite morose enough to be Darkwave. Maybe dim wave? Dusk wave? Anyway, here it is.

What plugins? What presets? People are going to need some kind of details in order to help you.

Harrison Mixbus allows you to export in multiple formats simultaneously.

I believe that Crapple has their own proprietary format.

VST3 s will automatically install into a predefined folder unless you manually redirect it, which is not recommended. That folder should be in your scan path. It only took about a minute and a half to find https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210313545-Plug-in-Administration-in-Cakewalk

One of the secrets to killer guitar tone is to minimize the amount of stuff in your signal chain.

Maybe people should refer to the documentation before they start crying BUG.

I figured you had something set up wrong. Your audio interface is just what the name suggests: the interface between your computer and sound waves in the outside world. It should be the one and only place where sound goes into and comes out of the computer. I'll check their site. Thanks ?? All this should have been covered in the documentation provided with your interface.

Focusrite most assuredly has an ASIO driver.

Yeah. The Sunset is NICE. I had resisted it before when it was on sale recently because I thought I had enough reverbs already that I hardly use. I picked it as one of my freebies and it immediately became my . go-to. I tend to be very sparing with reverb. Most of them get real overwhelming real fast. This is like I just stuck the band together in a room that has a really nice natural, subtle reverb.

But still unnecessary.

Sure. You can grab your tracks and slide them to wherever you want. Use a proper audio interface and you don't have to worry about it.

Drop the bottom mike. Lots of awesome drum recordings are done without one

Well, you're not recording live instruments and/ or vocals either.

For some reason no one ever answers this question but here goes: Is it plugged into a USB hub?

What are you talking about? Your Focusrite interface has an ASIO driver. There is no need to "change the driver back to ASIO from Focusrite." You're doing this wrong. You should be creating a mono track and then record onto that.

Yes Use a real audio interface with a proper ASIO driver.

One input doesn't make a stereo track. Splitting or duplicating a mono source just gets you a dual mono. Stereo requires either recording one source from two different locations, whether right next to or across the room from each other or recording two tracks What you should do in your case is select the left or right input depending on whether you are using the mic input or the line in.

It's not in this thread.

Nope. Not that one. Uses that ASIO4ALL garbage and not a real ASIO driver. Gotta step up to the UMC202 at least.

I have Miroslav Philharmonik, HaLion Symphonic Orchestra and the Sonivox Orchestral Companion layered together with Spitfire's Cimbalom playing the melody. Probably one of the few, if not the only, things you've heard that is in Locrian Mode. I disguised it a bit by using a half-diminished chord for the tonic and leaving out the fifth, thereby avoiding that tritone on the tonic chord. Ending on the fourth maintainss the harmonic ambiguity. Coupled with the 7/8 time signature, I think makes the piece feel like it is frantically moving but never really getting anywhere.
