Found what was needed. Thanks!

We don't air to TV if that's what you mean. You still retain the rights to place the music in some library which focuses on TV. We only make money by licensing/monetizing videos in youtube/facebook which contain the music. You still retain rights to publishing and writer share for television...

Yes, this is true. I've written to libraries with 50/50 split and made almost nothing after the initial exclusive cashout. It would have been much better to do a one time up front payment for me and collect no backend. That has simply been my experience, but I know others may differ. To each...

Sorry, wasn't clear in the original. Edits have been made. Please refer to original post. We do not do PRO stuff. You can still do PRO on your own, and send the music into any PRO library, as long as they understand which rights that have been purchased already: Youtube/Facebook/Streaming...

I want to clear something up as well: The only "exclusive" part of me buying tracks is the following: - Youtube Content ID and Facebook Content ownership, and streaming distribution. This is where the "exclusive" part comes in. Ie, you can still submit to other libraries, and do your TV deals...

Yes, it's true, there is NO backend. Which is why a deal is negotiated up front. I've sold to libraries with a 50/50 exclusive split, and they often don't work out too well in terms of generating enough royalties to be worth it. I've been lucky to start my own library, and can happily share in...

I just posted a thread looking for some one. If you're interested, check out my thread.

Hi Everyone, I run a small music library and am looking for a composer who is interested in writing some music. I'm personally no longer have the schedule to write the tracks, so I'm looking for some help in the following genres: Epic Music (Cinematic / Film) Action Music (Cinematic / Film)...

Great point! I can totally see how messing with tonal bass instruments can be negative if not done properly. Eg, if you don't generate a sine sub an octave below, you will probably have some serious tonality issues. I think I will keep that in mind and probably try to stay away from generating...

Hey Tim, Thanks for helping me again> you helped my in a previous thread. I was using Lowedner per your prev suggestion. Great plugin! Also, no I don't have a 30ft room, but this mix will be taken into a theater for listening to by someone else. I am only generating LFE and mixing the best as...

Hi guys, I think there is a slight confusion. I am not mixing music. I'm mixing an entire film. So that means I'm generating low sub frequencies based on the entire soundtrack (Film, sound effects, etc). SO far I've just done it on important moments, to highlight and make more powerful. I...

Hi everyone, I'm mixing my own personal film project to 5.1, and trying to create an LFE track. I already have really low sounds and bass drops in some of my music and sounds. In this case, should I separate those specific parts out via EQ and move them into the LFE, (the frequencies below...

Thanks! I just got word back from a sales rep in the music store. They contacted Adam audio and were told that you can just plug in to the Left input and you should get mono. Ie, no need to Y split cables. The sub is not being used as a "bass manager" as I've read some home 5.1 setups do. It's...

Sorry guys> Should have mentioned I'm going to help mix a film. Not to create music. My bad! I think I need to post the question in another forum.

Hi there, New to 5.1 mixing. A newb question here as I'm setting up: I have 5 Adam A7x monitors, and an Adam Sub 10 MK2 subwoofer which is being shipped, on the way to me now. I'm on Cubase and the LFE routes to one speaker. Of course, I'm to pick the subwoofer. However, on the back of the...

Sounds good. Will do! Thank you again!

I see what you mean. So, yes, I understand that this role is definitely outside of my role as a composer. The film is NOT going to theater. Simply releasing for home/streaming. I already told them there is no way I would attempt to mix anything for theater, and they understand this. They will...

Hi Tim, So it appears, as of now, I'll be given 5 stems. Of course for each satellite speaker. Pre-mixed into each speaker channel/position. I will then have to route whatever I want, at any given point in the film, to a newly created LFE track. Ie, I'll have all the film audio. Just need to...

So the person making the film is able to do a 5.0 mix. They just need my help to create the LFE track to get it to 5.1. Apparently they are limited for some reason. Maybe they don't have a subwoofer. It wasn't made clear to me why. I will get back to you once I find out more. You have...

Thanks, Tim! I will check out that link. To be clear, I'm not doing this for music necessarily. It's going to be the LFE track for a film mix itself.

But I do need to buy a subwoofer any how to create an LFE track, is that right? Just want to get the ball rolling on the order. As for your question: They are going to make a 5.1 mix, but want me to help create the LFE track due to some kind of limit they have. They can only mix in 5.0, not...

Hi everyone, I know this is a newb question. Someone wants me to help them make an LFE track. I currently have only a L+R speaker setup. I would like to know what I need to buy. Do I need a full 5.1 speaker setup? Can I simply buy a subwoofer to supplement my setup? Any tips or pointers...

Truer words were never spoken before.

With sites like audio jungle offering $8 royalty free tracks, why is anyone surprised? Audio jungle and similar sites probably started this and they probably even struck a back room deal for a bulk discount. Just my guess. As one mentioned above, sample libraries can update their terms to...

Apollo quad mkii UAD Universal audio Thunderbolt . Great shape. Everything works. Only selling because my system was having issues with Thunderbolt! $750 + $20 shipping. Only US addresses. Paypal accepted. I have it on ebay if you want that as well, but I'd rather avoid their fees. Dave

That makes sense as well. However, it kind of contradicts what Jamie Lang is saying. He said "that meter going below 0 shows there's likely an issue " I'd like to what JamieLang thinks about your statement ?

I can definitely turn off "stereo" mics on these libraries to get phasing under control. I was just kind of confused when I saw how these libs were phasing out of the box with their stereo image. I guess all of this leads me to conclude, they are making the image very wide out of the box in...

HI Jamie, Thank you for that insight. Have you checked any of your sample libraries to see if they dip out of phase? I would love to get your thoughts on something like that. I see the phase dipping below 0 on orchestral libraries such as Cinematic Studio Strings, and Native Instruments...

Good point. I guess I'll keep switching between mono/stereo to ensure mix compatibility, which would be the main thing to worry about. Ie, listening w/ your ears.

Yeah that's a good point about the tracks being relative, otherwise one gets too loud. When I mention image correction plugins, I'm referring to something like Ozone's imager, where you can adjust width by a range of frequencies. For example, you can make the bass region at 140hz or lower into...

Hi Shawn, Thanks for replying. Actually I just throw an OZone imager plugin on the master to check my phase, and then I solo the tracks one by one to check which ones might be causing issues, and then I correct them using image correction plugin(s). So when you say you only see the master...

Hi everyone, So I'm checking on cinematic studio strings and ozone shows it's out of phase on their samples. I'm sure this is because of the baked in hall sound, not the actual instrument that is mainly heard. That leads me to ask, how much out of phase (below the 0 point) is okay for you? Is...

It's pretty easy. You know how to send an instrument to a reverb, right? So you set up a reverb, and send the instrument 100% to that reverb. Then you add a second send on the instrument, and send it to the same reverb. Essentially, you're placing the instrument in that hall A LOT! If you want...

I have a friend who plays Duduk, if anyone interested, DM me for his contact.

Have you ever tried double convolution? I did this in my latest comp, sending to two convolutions to get the right tone. Worked like magic for me!

My latest comp here. If anyone needs an Armenian Duduk player with a BEAUTIFUL tone DM me for his contact. You can hear his performance in sections 2, 3 and 4 Hope you like it.

Yeah I don't necessarily think it's the "Reverb", but the fact that orchestral music is typically wet, in a space is what I mean, compared to something like rap or hip hop.

Hi all, Every time I export orchestral music and listen on a phone, it sounds crackly. It seems small cell phone speakers just can't handle reverb well at all. Anyone else have this experience, and do you have a solution? Or perhaps it's just the way it is and I shouldn't worry about it...

That's a very nice unit. it's pretty expensive, however. The description mentions how it doesn't color the sound at all, and that's a must-have. However, I wonder if any of the things posted earlier (Mackie) would be comparable?

Actually there is a smaller version which would be a bit cheaper and looks like it does the same thing. Mackie PROFX8V2 8-Channel Compact Mixer What do you guys think of this?

Looks like it will work and has good reviews. The only thing is that I have 6 XLR cables (3 left, 3 right) that I want to put into it, but it has only 4 XLR. I would then have to buy XLR to TRS cables, and I'm wondering if that would be an issue as far as quality goes? I'm a bit fuzzy as to...

Actually, do any of you recommend any device out there? I am looking up mixers, but they look like they are for live sound, and I'm not sure if that should be used in the studio.

This is cool, but doesn't seem to have 6 inputs. If I had 3 stereo XLRs cables (6 cables total), it seems to not have that option. However, I know what to look for now. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have 3 audio sources that I want to hook up to one pair of Adam A7X monitors. I am wondering what kind of device I can use as an in between to plug these sources into? I imagine there's a device that can take up to 3 balanced XLR inputs and output one or more balanced outputs...

Sorry, everything now unavailable. I will remove the listing.

Cubase is still available.

How does it stack against Berlin Brass? Might be worth getting just to have the mix between CSS and CSB sound more natural when combining libraries from the same room.

That's the one. I'm getting that one!

These two look great!! Now how do I make a choice... the Echo one doesn't have a good walk through :( Wonder if it's any good!

Every time I need a cymbal crescendo, it's hard to find a good one, or the right speed one. If there was only some sort of library! :)

Sorry everyone, I am putting the deal on HOLD as I am in talks right now with someone already who took the trade.

Hi, I'll trade away Komplete 11 Ultimate, for someone who can produce 3 to 5 tracks, which are 2 minutes in length for my library. I'm looking for various styles. These would be exclusive one time tracks you would give to me. There wouldn't be royalties or any further payments after the tracks...

Hi there, Does anyone know if it's possible to have Kontakt output / render to an audio track as I play the instrument? That way I don't have to play midi, and then do an extra render audio step? It would be a lot faster if I could do that. Will want to do it on omnisphere too, if possible...

PM for purchase....

Adding Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 to the sale list.

I can post on ebay as well if you want. bump!

Hi VIs, -Cubase 9.5 Pro Full Version (usb key dongle available if you are in the US, I can ship it) -Komplete 11 Ultimate update : ADDING -Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 to the sale list. I'll take a little less than what they average on ebay for. Send me a message if interested. I also have keystation...

John, I agree with what you mention here, but one thing that worries me (i'm also considering a 128gb slave, funny) Is that I will have 3 machines drawing power in one room of my house. I wonder if this will be a bad idea. I already have 2 display monitors, 2 machines, a TV, 2 powered audio...

Yes, using a slave. I just did a test project and it seems best for me to simply have my master instruments stay as is, and don't change them, and then load new instruments (unpreserved, and coupled in daw) for the ones that do change. So now I get the main instruments to stay loaded all the...

Thanks for the links. I'll try to take a look when time allows!

my 2cent note about Raid0 vs non-raid. If your working from home, I think it's best to just Raid0 everything and use online backup ($5/month). I say that because, what if someone steals your stuff? Your redundancy does nothing to help. Might as well just Raid0 or whatever (assuming the speed...

Yes, as you said, if I save everything coupled. But then it makes everything re-load. Lots of loading again, which is the same as me hosting all my instruments inside my own Cubase daw.

Yes, I have seen this 'load' buttton (arrow) already, and I turned the settings to automatically load the incoming data, but again it will not revert back into my default template when I close the project. It just keeps the new data from there on out. You said "When I change a project, I myself...

I suppose that one solution is that on projects which you need to edit the libraries, or yet, even add new instruments, is to add them in a new instance and have that instance un-preserved(since it shouldn't remain project to project), as well as coupled to your cubase project file. That way you...

Thank you for all the replies. All of it is definitely helpful. I think I'm ready now to fully start working on music again, but just 1 last question it seems! So I made a master VEP template. Then I made a Cubase template to match and connect all my instruments. All good and ready to go...

I think I understand what to do better now. I was putting each instrument in it's own vep instance, and now if I put one VST Instrument and put like 20 instruments in there, and run them on midi tracks instead, i can simply reconnect that one VST instrument and all 20 tracks will be back...

Thank you Milos for the insight.

Thanks for replying! So even if I did have, say, everything in ONE instance and routed to different outputs, it seems to me that I still have the issue of reconnecting each instrument track one by one. But yeah, I would love to leave my server running, but crashes and power issues wouldn't...

Hi guys, No luck on the VSL forums... hoping to try here instead.... QUESTION 1) - I'm having trouble keeping instruments connected to my daw after I restart. It seems that the instruments only keep connection if I shut my DAW computer down first, then shut down the VEP Slave, and then when I...

Yes I have seen that video before! Good one.

Sweet! Thanks I will take a look when I get home.

Hmm. I spoke too soon. After more testing on other tracks, the audio issues are back at that low buffer, even without the izotope.

Hmm. yeah, I'm not sure. I had iZotope7 running on master bus, as well as a Maximizer, and turned off izotope and now getting to 128 buffer size without audio issues. To get down to a clean 64 buffer, I need to remove the Mazimizer as well (built in cubase one), but then everything is super...

Native Instruments Symphony Strings, Cinematic Strings, Native Ins Symphony Brass, valhalla reverb. I just made my template with ONE intrument using VEP, and I can't run on low buffer settings. it sounds like 8bit distorted audio when on low buffer settings. I basically had to use 1024 buffer...

So i have the computers connected directly via Ethernet cable, and both on static IPs I have 10 string tracks, 5 brass tracks, 6 choir tracks, piano, glock, harp, 20 percussion tracks, 8 woodwindsd, 3 reverbs, 3 other kind of plugs, and maybe some other stuff I forget. This is an estimate of...

Hi guys, My setup is 1 slave machine, and 1 daw machine running together. The only way I can get playback without clicks/pops is to set my buffer to 1024, but then my latency shoots up and playing kind of sucks! I have a Focusrite USB interface currently, and I'm wondering if I get a...

That's a good way to do it, too, but may of us probably don't have the friend near by. I don't live near any of my friends who compose, so I'm all on my own, unfortunately.

Thanks for the help. Will make sure I distribute things manually in this case.

Hi guys, If you have two VEP slave machines, do you have the same exact samples on each rig, and have VEP pull half from one, and half from the other? (like RAID0 hard drives?). Or, do you simply put some samples on one machine, and other samples on the other machine? This would mean you have...

I've gotten conflicting answers about that. Hopefully more ppl chime in...

Hello masters! I was wondering if you may be so kind as to take a look at what I'm thinking of doing for a slave system and let me know if you recommend any changes? I'm no master, so days of research leads me to believe something like this would probably be a good setup...

Thanks for the reply. That is definitely helpful to hear. That being said, I'm going to start a new thread to build a new slave system and see what people recommend. Thanks!

Hi guys! In the case of a critical upcoming project, I would like to ask a few questions. I'm basically trying to find the most stable setup in case of hardware failure. Nothing worse than crashing on an impt project, and you have only ONE computer doing everything. 1) Aside from having...

I think some of the folks who say "this sounds fake" might be used to hearing the sound a certain way only. For example, they might be used to hearing the instrument with certain microphones in certain halls or different playing styles. There are also different manufacturers of instruments and...

When can I download, if I purchase?

Yes, I agree with this. I've had this happen to me too!

Good points Vik.

Truth!

Loaded in what way?

This.. This is it. The answer!

I remember a time when I was focused on having FUN, but then client jobs came along, and the need to be GOOD overtook. I think I have to find a way to get back to just having the fun, because when I'm having fun, I naturally want to try new things and experiment new ideas, and learn from other...

Hi guys, This is a personal question I guess. I find myself feeling VERY inadequate often times. I mean, you watch movies, games, tv series, etc... and there are SO many kinds of styles of music, that you just don't have time to master. Sometimes you hear something in a style you almost never...

I started the journey of making music. I only had limited knowledge of basic guitar chords, and a few years of experience playing drums. My ears were terrible. Had to do something to make extra income, literally for my family. 6-7 years later, to support my family is why I STILL do this. When I...

WOW. I can't believe it, you were right about the clock stuff. For me, the underlying issue is that people will buy these libraries and try to sound like Hans. It's just a copy cat game. And it only gets worse when people buy these libraries and put music out there that copies the sound because...

If you want to cry, this is all you need:

@OP what if you solo'd all the strings and sent it to them. They could identify what it might be?

Mike, I sent you a PM about your track. Hope to hear back :)

Yeah I was also messing around w/ it yesterday and it wasn't saving my sends.

On second thought, another great thing about your approach, is like you said, modular. If you want to simply ADD to your template, you just make a new instrument and save the preset.... no need to open the template and save it again. You can just add presets at anytime, when you find a cool...

No need to say sorry, I'm glad you're posting details of this all :) I have VEPRO trial to try doing a full load in a slave or in the same PC if I want. I'm just dreading the process of setting everything up. I'm being lazy :) How awesome, right? I think the best approach is VEP and have all...
