Since I started with Cubase 11, it has required a Steinberg account to activate a license. 12 was the first version you could e-license and not require a iLok dongle. The OP says they activated the software without an account. If you have the original documentation, don't you have the...

I've noticed this trend here and elsewhere. This forum used to be way more active. People want instant answers and results I guess.

I didn't see much of the practical in this discussion, so here are my thoughts and experience. There are a number of approaches to mixing. Some favor low volume mixing and there are hip hop and rock producers that mix with very loud monitors (many claiming they need to feel the music). There...

If you are happy with your space and have managed to adjust your workflow accordingly, I would caution you against going down such a rabbit hole. I'm just one of those curious types that goes out seeking rabbit holes. I was pretty lucky that my first layout worked as well as it did. When I...

What ever comes with the full version of Kontact 7. Still installing and haven't started auditioning instruments. Got a busy weekend coming up as well. Rather than take over this post, I'll probably create one with my thoughts along with why this old school guy is now doing midi instead of...

I cannot lie, I do like me some of that old Gregorian chant. A buddy of mine paid for much of his music education through working transcribing Gregorian chant. It was a thing for a short bit some years ago. Haven't listened in a while but have some CD's and find it oddly calming. I read the...

Alright, I pulled the trigger and it's downloading files now. We'll see what fits in my Folkie world.

Apparently Guy knew you were looking so he made you this video. 8-) I've leaned heavily on free stuff but recently started purchasing bigger paid bundles. Rob mentioned Kontact, It is currently on sale for 50% off at $149. I've grown frustrated with constantly running into instruments I...

Same here, (still, 9 hours later). Thank you for your input, Folkcafe. Yes, I'm sure that boundary interference wave cancellation is the cause of some of the dips in the response curves I posted. I can tell this by listening to a frequency sweep and noticing how certain low frequencies sound too...

I'm unable to look at the graph as the site is acting strange and I keep getting server errors. I will however make some presumptions. Take it with a grain of salt as Rob will be by shortly to let me know either the science or perhaps it is just me that is wrong. If you are testing the...

To address the other parts of your post, how is the music theory coming along? My opinion is that I prefer structure in learning. As to what to search for, how about Music Theory? You could go through the Yale playlist. It's a bit dry for my liking but doesn't lack in information. Not...

You still don't answer the question of what is it you are looking for. There are tons of virtual instruments out there, it doesn't have to be just one software platform. Some do symphonic better than others for instance. Like Rob mentioned, I have Spitfire's BBC symphony and it is very good...

You don't mention anything about your mastering workflow but I suspect the issue might be there. Apple recomends for digital masters, -1db True Peak. Don't know if Spotify has changed but they were recomending -2db True Peak back a few years ago. There are tons of articles on mastering for...

I too am not sure what you mean by change octave live. Samples in drum rack are drag and drop. Easiest is to just find a kick you like the sound of and swap. If you want two different kick sounds, drop a second on another pad. Short of this, there are a bunch you can do to the sample, just...

The revolution of home recording brought with it a lot of hurdles and burdens. Now the expectation is to be artist, engineer and producer along with everything else. Those who post things like "it's so easy, my dog can do it", either have exceptionally talented dogs or have forgotten how long...

A lot to unpack here. I've read a duality of both doubt and hope throughout this thread with you and the dynamic goes back and forth. Lets take this bit and have a dialog. It is said that to achieve one's dream, you must first give it voice. Unfortunately, after that is where the work...

If I am understanding this correctly, the situation is that you are really not interested in becoming a mix engineer but somehow you perhaps feel obligated to honor your friend who has passed. I can certainly relate. I've spent years live recording to the point where I have an archive of...

Harmon Soundcraft User The above discussion is on issues around your mixer and firmware and routings clearing. Much like your previous post, it doesn't seem like anyone here has much experience as to be able to help with your unusual use case. Typically the site doesn't like linking to...

If I wanted to attempt something like this, SpectralLayers 10 in Cubase 13 to extract the vocal from original. If the new track is in a different key, Melodyne to process into the right key. Analyze and quantize the track to match any time issues. No AI needed. Surprisingly not that...

When embedding media, there is a long list of what is supported in the box below. I do not see DropBox. There is a whole host of others. (host's, see what I did there?) Perhaps try something else?
