  1. Very excellent track Dave ! I am thinking a couple of your reviewers have not listened to the charts lately ?? ! ☺️ Dream Pop is real and this song sounds just like it - Best track I have listened to today - Keep it up !
  2. Yes that's what it's used for in Studio One as well..very handy ! In Cakewalk I have to leave a space and then I use the far end of my project to use for the same sort of thing - It's a bit of a workaround as you do have have to go back and do some housekeeping towards the end so it would be nice to has this type of feature - Good call ! ☺️ Here is the S1 feature in action
  3. I think this is a good idea, it sounds similar to the scratchpads in StudioOne ☺️
  4. Oh wow I didn't think anyone was still running V9 I had Pro Audio 9 back in the day but that was like 20 years ago , can't even remember what it was like now. Things have moved on so much I would just buy a new PC and get your free copy of CBB As to what to buy depends on your budget and what you need it to do ? And whether you are happy to build your own or want off the shelf.
  5. Try reaper, the whole thing is just way more snappy in all aspects
  6. Don''t those binding , unbind themselves if you close the project ?
  7. Right click them in the Browser and allocate to the Category you want. Click the little + sign to add a new category You can CTRL-Click , or SHIFT-Click to assign multiple plugins to the category
  8. It doesn't really emulate the CBB controls it supplants them with a completely separate plugin Best workaround would probably be a hardware controller of some sort https://gearspace.com/board/product-alerts-older-than-2-months/1308539-control-your-software-plugins-like-hardware-controller.html
  9. You don't have to do that, you can just route them to discrete tracks from one instance- this video is very informative on the process
  10. I've used AD2 on hundreds of tracks for production music libraries, I think it sounds good straight out of the box and rarely feel the need to do too much extra processing to it but I do tend to layer a lot of my drums so I may well have an electronic kick from another VSTi holding down the low end subtly making the whole kit sound bigger. I also use a lot of percussion layers / loops which of helps too. I've mixed plenty of real drums in my time as well , I guess it depends partly on the music you're making but I've used it for everything from Punk-Pop-Rock-EDM and some more trad type stuff - I am sure there are better sounding options like SD3 if you want something that sounds more detailed and realistic but in a dense production it's probably hard to tell much difference.
  11. 8.5.3 ?? My favorite version of the old Sonar line - Used it for a decade but seriously just upgrade to CBB Old Sonar doesn't support Win 10 so who know.
  12. Fanstatic 2buss compressor..this is like a magic bullet and worth every penny even at full price Been using it for several years but watch the WhiteSea studio review on Youtube.
  13. Use lower velocities if it responds to them. Dynamic Eq can help, so can a transient plugin like Trans-X if you set it to a negative value or plugins such as Gullfoss, Soothe or Smooth Operator can take the resonant peaks out fairly automatically. It's probably cheaper to buy a better VST instrument though. TTS-1 was pretty basic when it came out , I think I only ever used it for a hi hat..rest of the sounds were'n't up to much 20 odd years ago when it was first bundled so whatever treatment you give it the underlying sounds are still low quality.
  14. I agree with you , it's a strange way to export a whole track although I've gotten used to it over the years. My process is now to use the Arranger and drag it from the starting point to the end point of the track , then click it once to select everything to export.
  15. We're not in 1998 anymore Dorothy
  16. I don't think they can be put there because it's using the standard Windows GUI. The Browser is much quicker once you get used to it. maybe @msmcleod can confirm ?
  17. You don't need to select 'Clip Automation' ...You can do it from the default ' Clips' setting ...it's just Ctrl-Left Click - Drag..Maybe you have to be using the Smart Tool for this to work but it's the only one I ever use.
  18. I agree with dubdisciple that it's good but the drums don't hit hard enough for this genre. The kick needs a lot more level and punch...try layering multiple kicks and then side-chaining the backing track to duck out of the way of the kick on every hit.
  19. Me too ? But I've not really used any other DAWs enough to compare
  20. The FX bin is way too small to show a large amount of plugins Undocking the Browser and floating it to where you want , then pressing B when you want to call it up, B again to hide it..is much quicker trust me
