I don't have many plugins from PA. Which ones can you recommend? I have the basics and them some, but always looking for that something special! The only one I have bought from PA was Sandman Pro. It is Great!!

https://www.imoxplus.com/site/index.php For you wind lovers - Rudy has an upgrade for us!! If you don't know this wind software - you should. One of the very best VSTis for wind synths. Very playable. Some great clips by Eli Benacot and a few others. Upgrade Free Price $195

Hi Heinz Thanks for the AUTOHOTKEY scrip! And the backup part. Very nice.

Usually people do this in the piano roll by hovering the mouse over the velocity bar and click drag up or down. Or by drawing a velocity curve in the velocity pane of the PVR.

I don't know how I thought the third party instruments menus knobs etc came from LOL!

Thanks for the link - ZincT http://www.musicez.com/countryrp.html Lots of info here!

Under the Pencil tool - Hold your mouse on the little triangle at the bottom right side if you hold it down the menu will appear with 8 drawing styles. The default is free form, but can be changed at any time. I don‘t think there is a option for the default if that is what you mean.

I think a train beat is a series of 2 - 4 note groups. Two groups of four to a set - The 1st group the 3rd of the set of four notes is accented. The second group the 3rd and the 4th notes of that group are accented. Also they have a slight swing type feel to them.

I just watched several videos on Kontakt programming, scripting and macros. I am shocked about how much can be done in Kontakt. I never dreamed it was that much under the hood. More stuff to learn LOL! Oh well. You guys ever mess with "inside" Kontakt?

Yes thanks - I did use that tonight. I have always added synths in the Synth rack. I guess I will have to change my old habits!

I gave up on soft tube stuff a couple of years ago. I used some of their plugins for years then they quit working - no help from support. They said the plugins were out dated. There are plenty of replacements out there.

Get the Free Valhalla reverbs/Echo they are GREAT! I like all their products. Great company. I also like Lexicon.

Vernon - Kontakt 6 bitflipper - Yes thanks - Track templates are great. I have quite a few. I guess I could make a couple of blank ones that have less than the 32 outputs and save them. 16,8,4 I know that there is an option to add tracks to a single instance of a synth after it is added. I just thought if I inserted a synth in the synth rack and selected 8 tracks I could get just 8 tracks?? I know that if you add a Synth that only has a stereo output you can click 4 and it will add extra copies of the synth to match your choice of channels. Why would it not limit the channels a synth would add? It just looks like that is what the dialogue would do.

I was trying to add 8 Stereo tracks in Kontakt. I clicked to limit to checkbox and put in 8. I ended up with 32 tracks. Did I do something wrong?

I can’t believe you guys don’t have delay compensation turned on - on every plugin. How can you ever get the timing the way it should be? If your latency is a short trip it would be less noticeable, but still out of sync.

Or you can set up 8 Omnispheres/Kontakts and freeze/edit/refreeze them quickly. Low CPU and Quick Editing. I hate freezing/unfreezing a Kontakt with 16+ Channels!!! I have been splitting it to several instances like - Trumpets 1/2 next copy of Kontakt FHorn 1/2. I am never through after the 1st freeze! Back and Forth.

I was also thinking that might work.

You could also get this library in Kontakt format.

I know it is an inconvenience! Me too, but you can also click the folder mute and the solo buttons, then unmute what you want to here.

Sounds like you got a nice collection of stuff going on!! The only thing I can say about FL Studio is that it is fun playing with the loops and beats and trying stuff out. This can also be done in Matrix (built into cakewalk) as well. You CAN do crazy stuff like un like the 2 then set FL for 3/4 and have Cake @4/4. Or even stranger combos. I don't think you can do this with Matrix.

I use these with my iphone and ipad. Very easy and free. https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/vnc/ https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/ With a good WIFI signal it is very quick. I don't do envelopes/faders recording with it so I really don't know if it is fast enough for that. Start Stop Rewind add - delete tracks and all this type of stuff is easy.

I would not just buy FL for instruments. I would get Kontakt some sounds and Stylus RMX for other sounds, or Omnisphere for a MEGA load of sounds. I just have the middle version of FL and don't use it for the Synths. The higher end version FL has a lot of Synths. What kind of sounds were you looking for?

1) Make a marker where the audio should stop. 2) Stretch out the Back track as far as you need (if you very far it is going to sound odd) 3) Record Guitar Audio Track 4) Click the end of both the Back and the new Guitar. Ctrl-Drag/Slide to the left till you reach the original time point marker

All midi VSTi's are not created the same! I was using Trillion last night MIDI volume has no effect on it. Velocity changes between 4 sample sets no variation. It just jumps to the next set. CC11 has volume change. The only volume control is in the audio out. and CC11 What will you use to play your sound fonts through? EDIT-> Did you read about CSMultiCompander? Also Cakewalk MIDI Velocity has volume scale % (like add 10%) https://viramor.com/
