Moskus, where do you get this stuff? I tried to open a file at my friend's house, but I had an updated DR008 (he did not) and it just refused to open. Could have used this post then. I will store that tidbit for the future! Thanks

Kawai Grand Piano Alesis QS8 Yamaha SY-77 Virus AccessB Yamaha FS1-R Roland XV-5080 Ton's of software synths like all the NI synths, Tritorn, Atmosphere, VAZ 2010, Tassman 2, Lounge Lizard and others.

I think that is a personal preference. You have to listen to them and see if they will work for you. Also, IMHO, the sounds tend to work better in a mix than they do on their own. Sooooo, go listen if you can. There is no way the strings for example, are going to sound as realistic as the...

I am using version 2.2 of Sonar. The VST versions show up in the Plug=in manager..... not the DXi versions. The last time I had a problem with a plug in showing up in Sonar, it magically appeared when I installed Sonar 2.1 (over 2.0). I tried running the 2.2 updater but it said I already had...

Anyone else having problems getting the DXi version of Vokator to show up in their effects list? I upgraded to the 1.1 available now. I tried the trick with creating a batch file to manuall register the plug in. The VST version shows up fine with a wrapper, but not the DXi. NI says they...

I had a U220 back in the day. The sounds were okay, but they were strictly sample playback... no filters etc. and the effects were extremely basic. I would, if possible look into the JV line. Maybe the 1010 or 1080. Much deeper programming, effects and you can expand them. Take care

I have an original Alesis QS8.... not the .2 My answer to your question is.... for what? It kinda depends on what kind of music you want to make, do you want this mostly as a controller, is money an object, are the sounds the most important, do you want to take this to gigs etc.? Most...

If you are thinking about the cakewalk vst wrapper, it causes crashes in other programs... for me notably Cool Edit and Sound Forge when you go to cancel or stop the VST plug in. This did not happen with the latest version of the wrapper from FXpansion (although I understand that their final...

Will do. Heard that this problem has occurred for others as well.

The Mastering Edition Plug ins are DirectX.... about half of them also have a VST version. My problem was that every second or third time I went to use them, they insisted I reinset the CD. I did that, then the message was to reinstall them. I did that several times and eventually that was...

I've had the FXpansion VST wrapper for years and it has worked fine. Cake sent the latest version (they bought out FXpansion's wrapper) and now SF (and CEP) lock up when I cancel or quit a VST plug-in. Anyone else having this problem? Take care

I've had big trouble in the past running Steinberg Mastering Edition in Cakewalk products (or SF or Syntrillium for that matter). Even though these supposedly run in DX programs (yep, they are not VST) they don't (or at least run well). Steinberg help's message was basically, wow, we tried them...

Yep, love to upgrade (hate the cost). When I upgrade each time, I find the learning curve to be less. Initially, I only used cakewalk for midi, so when they came out with an audio version, didn't upgrade for 2-3 versions. There were so many changes it was hard to relearn the program. When I...

I got it as part of Project5. It seems to be an upgrade of the FXpansion wrapper (which Cakewalk has bought out). Works well in Sonar and Project5. Take Care

Think about something in the Roland line with an Orchestral expansion board.... one for the XV models. There were three for the JV series Orch1, Orch2 and a Vocal board.... all three are contained on the big Orch board.... also there is an expansion board devoted to strings and string...

I recently had an 11 song CD mastered. I used http://superdigital.com/ I doubt if they do mastering other than in person, but I added my 2 cents because it was $75 per hour and took about 2 1/2 hours. Rick McMillen did a great job, IMHO. I spent a lot of time doing the mixing beforehand...

I do instrumentals.... two main types. Accoustic piano tunes and electronic "concept" pieces.... (what can I say, I'm an old ELP, Yes, Kansas, King Crimson etc. fan). On rare occasions I get a flash of inspiration or find something while noodling on the piano. Usually, I get what I want from...

Midi is discrete computer data, so you wouldn't see input like you would when recording audio.... mostly for midi input there is just a little light or marker that flashes when midi is being received and sent. Check the receive channel of the midi track..... if it is in midi omni then you...

I have a QS8 which is a great controller. The sounds are basic.... you won't get any fancy stuff, and there is no resonance on the filters, so really good emulations of analog synth stuff is difficult. The sounds mix well with other synths (in the music I do) and you can get some soundcards...
