Slightly useless in that scenario I think

You still have to press record though right ? I think they mean without even hitting record, like just auditioning/practising a new part

No I was an 8.5.3 user for about 10 years ! I only came into contact with the Pro Channel when CBB was released and I made the jump. ( primarily to get ARA support ) So all I ever had was the Per Channel EQ. Which I actually thought was better than the way the Pro Channel EQ is implemented. I only really used it for high / low pass filters and you could do them without opening the full plugin interface ...much quicker than opening the Pro Channel now. The space is actually there for them to reinstate the EQ controls in the channel strip. I wish they would. I already have Massive , Sylenth , Serum etc. so I've never used any of the bundled instruments for my TV music that I've licensed.

I dunno..if I can play it once I can play it again ...it's not some one off performance I'll never be able to duplicate

Probably some sort of routing, howl round/feedback type thing..routing on other DAW is different by default so not happening

You mean audio from another project ? You can do that just by using per project audio folders ( which is now the default iirc ) and then browsing to the other projects audio folder and drag- dropping what you need right into your current project. I do it quite often as I have to make tracks in the same genre and it's easier to find certain sounds like a kick drum or a riser that worked well in a previous track for example. Way quicker than trawling through multiple folders in my sample drive.

Midi enhancements are part of the core functionality of CBB that's why people want them. Pro Channel Modules whilst built in are essentially just FX plugins and there's hundreds of 3rd party offerings around for those seeking more variety so why spend dev time on stuff that can easily be added by the user.

Yeah I see what you mean although I can't remember the last time I stuck to the old GM standard of Ch.10 being drums reserved for drums. But imagine a 4x4 grid or a row of buttons numbered 1-16 so you could enable/disable the global transpose on a per channel basis quite easily

Depends how it's implemented. In FL studio you can resize the whole interface i.e. 100% -150% - 200% and it scales itself to suit. Very flexible and lightweight..no artifacts like you get when scaling bitmaps. It could make for a very flexible console view with channels that can be resized to suit what you are working on

This is why I also asked for a vector based GUI

Yeah be nice to have the option to leave it compact for non-touch users ..which I guess is the vast majority. At least since they went from 8.5 to X1 larger screens have gotten cheaper I guess

I already did..over a year ago !!

The real issue is that ever since 8.5 the Inspector has been too big. It used to half the size and it was perfectly functional Even now when it's completely minimised I reckon they could add a lot more functionality in that thin strip of blank space

Thanks To be honest 90% of the time I have the Inspector minimised to maximise space for the track view

Ahh cool, I think I was looking at the 550 ..it was pretty cheap

You can't insert a MIDI FX into the FX bin on a VSTi if you choose to have it as a simple instrument I realise this is because it's an audio FX bin and the workaround is to insert it on the midi clip ( or don't use the simple instrument view ) although this isn't always convenient. Is it possible to have the FX bin function for midi and/or audio plugins ? Maybe in the space just above the FX bin could be a toggle switch to view either the Audio or Midi FX bin ?

I'll never do any gaming, which Radeon card do you use ?

Hey Patrick Well the good news is my new PC is here, the bad news is I can't have until my Birthday in a month's time ( wife's orders ! )... I was worried that stuff might go up in price due to all the Chinese factories closing down to stop the spread of corona virus , and also the machine I was looking at from the local builder AWD-It had gotten £50 cheaper as had the NVME HDD upgrade. So I went for it. So I now have sat in the box Ryzen 3900x, Asus B450M-K, Samsung Polaris 512gb NVME , and I opted for 16gb of DDR4 3600 ...figured less but faster ram rather than more but slower..I'll upgrade when I next get a decent royalty cheque. I addition I ordered a 1tb Samsung Evo 970 SSD and the Audient ID4 as I won't be able to use my Focusrite The machine was £810 inc delivery and the extra SSD and Audio Interface came to £235...so I didn't quite manage to keep it under £1k but it was close I've fitted the extra drive and installed Win 10 , and ran the DPC latency checker on it ..all checks out within the ' good for audio ' range ( interestingly this PC I have now fails that test ) and the worst driver is the crappy Geforce 710 which is the base line GPU they put in them. I will probably stick something better in it at a later date that has better behaved drivers. it will have to suffice for now. CBB is installed but I didn't have time to try it properly as it's all packed away now ready for the big day.

You know you can drag and export them right onto the desktop ?

1. Nested Folders please 2. Global Midi transpose + / - button 3.Indexing of the sample folders..a simple text search can tie my machine up for over 5 mins ! ( I have about 400gb's worth )

A golbal transpose funtion would be great..all midi tracks + audio ( except drums..that might be bad )

What is the differnce please, I think I only ever select tracks...what's the benefit of having one in focus and another selected ?

That's what I was thinkning..if you want to turn everything down just pull down the Master Fader...or...decrease the input gain level on The Master Buss if you are clipping your Master Buss Plugin inputs. I do this all the time when the mix starts to get a bit 'hot'

Currently if you select multiple tracks and drag them into a Track Folder only the first one goes in. You can right click and move them to the Folder from the menu but it would be more intuitive and consistent if you could drag and drop multiple selections as expected.

The ID4 is £99 whereas the M2 is £159 here
