Over the past couple of weeks I've experienced this weird issue where kontakt will randomly stop all sound coming from my computer and the only way to get it back is to turn my audio interface on and off again. The audio interface is a SPL Crimson 3 which I've had for a number of years, not...

I posted this last year. I just want to give you a little update. Right now i'm studying information- and communication technology and its really hard. I've learnt so much until now. I know how an Equalizer works and i can even build my own Equalizers. I'm surrounded by cracks in audio...

I noticed this recently and although I currently prefer to do them myself, I wonder how many of you have tried this and is it similar to other online mastering technology (LANDR?) Moreover, it seems some people like to complain of the soundcloud compression being quite bad! If that is true then...

Interesting Question, as i find my mind subconsciously comes up with some lovely stuff just at the point before falling asleep; Do i remember it the next day ? Of Course not ? I think McCartney came up with Yesterday in a Dream (apparently) , and i have had one or 2 come to me that stuck with...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of transitioning from FL Studio to Cubase, so far I've been able to sort out most of the basics but I still have some things to figure out, and this is one of those. In FL there's simply an icon on the mixer tracks on which you you can click to add or substract...

Hi guys, so today for some weird reason that god knows what reason is, my laptop speaker decided to not have sounds when i use the Asio4all driver whether i use it on my DAW, or i just load up a standalone kontakt 6 without a DAW. There will be no sounds from my laptop speakers, but last few...

What brand of balanced cables do you use between your audio interface and monitors? Any Mogami users in the UK ? Interested in any recommendations

Hey, I'm Elias, 18 years old and from Germany. I grew up in a musicial family and i'm playing music since i'm able to think. First of all it was the organ, then drums, keyboards and guitar/bass. When I was 7 my father bought me my first keyboard. I was able to record 8 tracks with this thing. A...

I'm searching for simple, long room tone recordings to lay under my orchestral tracks for quite moments. Nothing too fancy. Ideas where to find something like that? Thank you!

Hey all! I've just made a quick and dirty video that you may finde useful. Aligning SFX like trailer hits, risers or whoosh hits can quickly become a tedious task. So, let me show you a quick trick to speed up your workflow. If you find these kind of quick tips useful, let me know, I have a...

Hey guys, this is my review of Bad Tape by denise! Now available as part of the Tweaker's Boutique Bundle on APD (82% OFF for the bundle). Saturate, modulate, subtly or bluntly mangle the sound with Bad Tape! If you liked my video and would like to support, don't hesitate to do so via the...

One for the cable experts out there! The idea is to connect 2 audio interfaces to the same monitoring setup using a pair of summing cables that have this configuration: XLR (x2) Female to XLR (x1) Male. The setup is: OUTPUT 1 of both Audio interfaces go to the left speaker OUTPUT 2 of...

Good morning friends! If you've ever wondered how Audio Imperia's Nucleus works and what styles it can cover, I just uploaded a video featuring the softer, more intimate side of the library. I hope this is at least somewhat helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions!

This might be a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Hope this question fits this section, didn't know where else to ask it. Have you recorded with your phone mic? I mean I'm currently not able to access my DAW and stuff. Let's say the only gear available is my laptop (that's not...

Hello all! I'm normally working away on the sample library side of the equation, but I have since started out writing some code for some audio plugins. It is quite a new territory for me and I have been dismayed by the number of resources that are difficult to follow without an extensive...

Hey All on VI, Recently I deleted some recorded vocals that were stored in an "Untitled folder," they weren't contained in my Cubase Project Folder. After trying multiple data recovery programs, each program that was able to locate them and recovered, every time the WAV file came was corrupt...

Hi When composing cinematic orchestral music with kontakt sample libraries and a huge number of kontakt instances and instrument tracks with midi note information. How do you guys prepare a song for mixing? When the composing part is finished and its time to start mixing the song, everything...

I'm currently using a macbook pro and a maschine MK3 controller and the maschine 2 software for creating tracks. The MK3 also acts as an audio interface to a powered subwoofer and 2 powered studio monitors. I'm thinking of updating to a new mac mini and also logic pro x and trying to figure...

I got loads of audio clips that have been converted when imported into a Cubase project from between 96khz and 48khz down to 44Khz (as that was the rate my projects). I need to export the project in 48khz and not sure if changing the sample rate of the project will just upsample the downsampled...

Hi friends! Today I wanted to review a synth perfect for cinematic scoring and sound design. Please enjoy!

Hi all, I have a VEPro setup in my template. MIDI tracks each have an audio return track associated to them. When composing, I hide the audio return tracks. Is there a way to mute/solo the audio from a MIDI track (e.g. muting the MIDI violins track will also mute the Violins OUT audio track)...

Just wanted to start a conversation of this fantastic soundtrack that seems to have gone unnoticed here! It's a huge collection of orchestral/other stuff with tons of great melodies, orchestration, and other awesome stuff. I definitely recommend listening to it if you haven't already.

This is my take on the subject.

So I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to put this thread. I'm struggling with lower back pains and as you all are well aware, we sit on our computers for hours and if you don't have a good chair you might end up with some sore back pains. Now I am not a chair connoisseur, so I would...

I know that most of you use cubase or dp. I have been using studio one 3 and nothing to complain, except i sometimes will notice lag spikes and audio glitches. I i'm not familiar on how this occurs i did some research and my dpc latency shows that somehow is my graphic card causing some sort of...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 audio interface and would like any suggestions based upon user experience etc. The budget is upto £500 GBP. Okay with Firewire, USB or Thunderbolt (up to TB3) Preferences: I would prefer an on-board MIDI IN but that's not essential...

In the following thread on mockup dynamics, I proposed the idea of splitting part of an ensemble patch among multiple channels in order to vary the dynamics of each section. "Ways of Getting Mockup Dynamics Spot-On." Discuss. It was suggested to me that this would not work because of frequency...

Hi Looking for some help with my audio interface, if someone here has experienced a similar issue before. I have been using the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (2nd Gen) for about a year now on Windows 7. (https://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-6i6) As of yesterday morning when I...

Is it possible to route a live audio signal into Kontakt? I'd love to test out effects without first creating audio files.

Dear All, As I latly requriered a lovely pair of Genelec 8040's, I also got a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D audio interface with the deal. The audio interface I use now is the Focusrite Saffire 6 Pro, which for my work is super great at the moment. However, I wonder if it would be unwise not to...

Hi all! For a while I've been mixing on my DT-770 headphones, but I believe it's time to step up my game and finally invest in some studio monitors, as well as some basic room treatment. I'm on a budget so I'm not going top tier, but, after some extensive research I've found the JBL LSR305's...

Hi Guys, New to Cubase. Assumed that once you've set up your 'Main Output' using your audio interface (Stereo), you could monitor imported audio files. It seems to me that I have to change my output. VST Connections - Studio - (Bus) Monitor - Device Port. When I do this, it removes the...

Hi Guys, Just moved over to Cubase Pro 8.5. Having trouble locating audio files on my system and importing them into my sessions. Believe 'Media Bay' is the method to use however when I enter media, no audio files show. I located appropriate folders, and yet still no audio files show within...

Dear all, What are your thoughts on Audient iD4 as an audio interface for running orchestral sample libraries like Hollywood Orchestra from EASTWEST and some orchestral Kontakt libraries (Cinesamples, 8dio, SoundIron..etc) as well. Any thoughts on this ? How would you compare this with...

Is anyone able to give an explanation on this topic or point to some relevant information as to what this means in audio? It seems like an important concept to dive into which I know nothing about. What is this black magic you people do?

I've done a review for Spitfire EVO Grid 1-4. Here is the german version:
