How do YOU use Kontakt drums?
OutrageProductions replied to Bassfaceus's topic in Instruments & Effects
I too, am waaayyy old school (from the days of 4 track tape being the biggest machine in the building) so here's how I treat all my drum tracks (Kontakt, IRL, or other): I split the consolidated MIDI drum track into individual MIDI data tracks using a CAL script, then group the MIDI data tracks by instrument: Kick(s), Snare(s), Hat(s), Tom(s), and Overheads. After carefully examining and editing (if necessary) the note data, I will print each track to audio. Usually [but not always]; Kick (mono), Snare (mono), Hat (mono), Toms (stereo), and OH (stereo). I will always print the audio dry & without effects from the VSTi, as there are far better EFX chains available post facto. This, of course, is only when I'm attempting to create "standard" or "acoustic" or "real" drums. If I'm wandering into a more adventurous genre, then everything is in the blender. Been doing it this way since 1976, and it hasn't screwed up my sounds yet. Note, however, that when I'm sketching things out just for reference, I WILL use the monolithic VSTi inboard mix & effects for convenience & speed. -
Help! Playback Tempo is Faster and Higher Pitch
OutrageProductions replied to david40's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Check that your sample rate is the same as when you started the session and that it is not trying to conflict with your Windows SR setting. -

Change the speed of an audio file

Also, in the same vein, check out this short tutorial on time correcting Audio in CbB: If you are going to be trying to stretch the entire song, be patient, it may take a while. -

Good usb keyboard controller for Cakewalk?
OutrageProductions replied to Ernie Tamminga's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I have a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk1 and love it! Mk2 has more features, but is slightly crippled as a straight MIDI controller. -
REMatrix Solo is built in to the CbB ProChannel and is a convolution reverb. You can load any IR response in Wave or AIFF (IIRC) format. I have a ton of IRs collected in person over the years.

You can change the Start Screen to a text file name list, and then scroll down. -
OMF Cakewalk users' biggest nightmare
OutrageProductions replied to Leo Bittencourt's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Try exporting without latin characters in the file path. I've had numerous issues with carat, acute, tilde, dieresis and other diacriticals in OMF. -
Kontakt 7 has locked out 'under the hood' editing on most libraries because of proprietary coding for HDPI scalability. Many other bugs have arisen as well, so maybe wait until the dust settles before upgrading. Just MHO.

I have several of Tracy's VST instruments and they are VERY playable and sound really good. I've been waiting for the banjo for a year and will buy it momentarily.

Computer Mic Picking Up Fan Noise When Recording
OutrageProductions replied to sjoens's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Mechanical transmission through the chassis from the fan to the onboard mic is difficult to eliminate. Maybe try a small, cheap plugin lavalier or desktop mic? <$10 on Amazon -
For purely CC/MIDI control (no notes played) try Korg nanoKONTROL2 MIDI Control Surface, $80 USD.

FWIW: I can confirm this exact behavior.

Spam/Scam probably; Once upon a time I sent someone some scratch tracks for demo with the spoken phrase (in a sexy female voice) "FOR REFERENCE ONLY" set in the track every 10 seconds loud enough in the mix that it would be completely unusable in a commercial situation. They responded, but refused to pay my book rate, so I blew them off.

I remember that. It disappeared from my rig when I went totally 64bit. And then I discovered Voxengo SPAN, which is far superior anyway.

But that means having to dig the 56k modem out of the storage box in the garage and dusting it off... ?

Step #3 is your issue; when you deleted the original video from the DL folder, it will no longer show in the project (however, I suspect that your "corrected" audio track is there). CbB doesn't actually 'save' imported videos into the current project directory, but just links to them in their original location, so... if it doesn't exist in the original location... it won't show up in the project. I've learned this the hard way because I keep all my Vids on one drive and CbB projects on another. If I do a little "housekeeping" on the video drive, I inevitably get myself into trouble without intention. Try to import the NEW/Edited video from the alternate save location. Edit: when I'm done and paid for a score, I save the CW project as a bundle, copy the video to the same directory, and zip it up for archiving. Just FYI.
