    Looking for a software program that fits my needs

    Hmm, there might be a way to retrieve it. Install the free "Belarc Advisor" program ( Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer. Software license management, IT asset management, cyber security audits, and more. ) on...

    Looking for a software program that fits my needs

    MAGIX has acquired ACID from Sony Creative Software, so they've recently redesigned their web site. Not that I'm actually familiar with what their web site used to look like, but it stands to reason that they must have updated it to reflect their updated product line. I can't find the email I...

    Looking for a software program that fits my needs

    A few free choices: PreSonus Studio One 3 Prime Sony ACID Xpress 7.0 Tracktion Software T4 Zynewave Podium Free Also free: Avid Pro Tools First (but if I'm not mistaken you can't save to your local computer, only to the cloud) There are also some inexpensive DAWs that you can try for free...

    Are there stand-alone VSTs ?

    I haven't looked at the video, but I've got Windows 10 and I've never had a problem installing a VST. Different VSTs install differently. Some are nothing more than a .DLL file (maybe with an accompanying README.TXT file) that you can essentially put anywhere on your computer-- as long as your...

    Are there stand-alone VSTs ?

    Some VST programs can run either as a plugin inside a DAW, or as a standalone. Those that can't run as a standalone need some other program to provide them with a shell. SAVIHost, that I linked to in an earlier post, lets you run exactly one VST-- i.e., it essentially runs a specified VST to...

    Are there stand-alone VSTs ?

    I still occasionally get the problem of the PACE License Services not starting automatically as it's set to do, and a few months ago while searching the web I found some information from support about the issue. I can't seem to find it right now, but if I remember correctly they suggested going...

    Yamaha MIDI velocity issue

    Regarding which sub-forum to post in, I think that's best answered by a mod, although you could go ahead and use your best judgment and then let the mods move your thread if they feel it really belongs in a different sub-forum than wherever you posted it. As for the rest, a couple of things...

    Best Orchestrial Strings VST

    You're welcome! Keep in mind that they don't give away their best stuff for free, so you still might want to look for a module to buy, but the free goodies can help tide you over. :)

    Are there stand-alone VSTs ?

    If there's a VST effects plug-in you want but it doesn't have a standalone option, you could always try running it with VSTHost. It's a handy little program! VSTHost Or you can use SAVIHost to run a single VST plug-in: SAVIHost

    Audio Midi Set Up (2 synths via USB)

    MIO? LMMS? What OS are you running on your laptop? From what I've heard, if you have a Yamaha keyboard with MIDI ports but no USB-MIDI port then you might experience issues with third-party interfaces. For the best results you generally want to get Yamaha's own USB-MIDI interface (UX16) so you...

    Yamaha MIDI velocity issue

    Yamaha generally recommends that the "channel volume" be set to (if I remember correctly) no more than 100, and in keeping with the spirit of their own advice they seem to set their preset voices to rather low "volume" settings. So in addition to trying different "Touch Sensitivity" settings to...

    Tracktion 3

    I don't have T3, but I'm curious as to why you want T3 specifically? Did it have some feature that's not available in T4, T5, T6, or T7?

    Studio one wav files export/save

    (Emphasis added) Uh, okay, I thought you and they were both using Studio One: (Emphasis added) I'm not familiar with Pro Tools, but I'd think the school should still be able to export the project using wave files in such a way that they can be loaded into a different DAW (be it Studio One...

    MIDI Keyboard without the Computer

    Yes, I saw those when I searched for "MIDI tone generator," but I have no experience with them. Keep me posted as to which one you get and how well it works out for you, as I'm curious. In other words, "Would you buy this item again?" and "Would you recommend it to others?" or "Do you rue the...

    MIDI Keyboard without the Computer

    It sounds like you're looking for what's known as a "tone generator" or "sound module," which may or may not be the same thing-- "sound module" often refers to essentially a synthesizer without a keyboard so you usually have to design your own sound patches (but it might include some presets)...

    delays and bouncing

    I guess I misunderstood when he said that he stopped the recording before putting the guitar down so he wouldn't record the noise caused by putting the guitar down. Anyway, I would just grab the edge of the clip and extend it, then fade out if needed. :)

    delays and bouncing

    ^^^ Since you PMed me to ask (given that I use Studio One), I would do it the way Farview suggested. When you point your mouse to the right edge of the audio clip, the pointer will turn into a "<|>" symbol, then you just click on it and drag the end of the clip to the right as far as you need to. :)

    Abelton live 9 free plugins

    It depends on which version of Live you're using-- e.g., most of them aren't available for Live Lite or Live Intro.

    Abelton live 9 free plugins

    Don't search for "Ableton Live free plugins," just "free VST plugins." There are many sites that have free VST plugins, or that have articles such as "The 20 best free VST plugins for 2016," etc. EDIT-- Make sure you get plugins that will work with your system, 32-bit or 64-bit. Live doesn't...
