I knew that Studio One Prime doesn't allow third-party plug-ins, but I thought that Artist did. However, you're right; I see on the PreSonus web site that support for third-party plug-ins is an "available add-on" in Artist. :( To be honest, I'm not a recorder/producer, and not even much of a...

Disclaimer: I'm no Studio One expert, and I'm not certain of everything you want to do or how experienced you are, so you might want to take the following with a grain of salt. :) I like Studio One well enough; I occasionally use the free version, Studio One Prime, although it isn't really my...

Typically, "installing" a VSTi or other type of VI plugin simply means copying its DLL or equivalent file* to some directory on your computer-- usually, but not necessarily, some directory where you've installed all or most of your other VIs-- and then making sure your DAW knows to look in that...

Ah, okay. I don't have Pro Tools, so I can't check. Well, I do have Pro Tools First (the free, lite version of PT), but I don't think it lets you do this sort of thing. I'll check and see. I occasionally use VMPK to pick out the notes of a tune I've got running through my head, so I can jot...

Does this help at all? Create virtual MIDI ports on Mac

DAWs normally have "piano roll" editors which can be used for composing, but they can be cumbersome to work with. Some DAWs do have a basic "notation" or "score" editor as well, which won't be as sophisticated as a dedicated notation program, but will be easier to work with than the piano roll...

What are you using for MIDI-- e.g., a MIDI keyboard controller connected using a simple MIDI-to-USB adapter, etc.? And if you're indeed using a MIDI-to-USB adapter, what brand is it? The cheap ones are prone to failures, bad data transmission, etc. I saw a post once-- don't remember if it was at...

I'm glad it turned out to be that easy! :) PS -- For future reference, I don't think you needed to exit out of Cubase and restart it; you could have just clicked on the "Rescan All" icon (the two looped arrows) after you'd added the path and Cubase should have found and loaded Kontakt at that point

I don't know how Cubase 5 differs from Cubase 9 as far as menu options, etc., how familiar you are with Cubase, and whether you've already tried the following steps. They're for Cubase 9, but hopefully Cubase 5 is similar. Click on the "Devices" menu and select "Plug-in Manager." When the...

The JX-03 has a "MIDI Clock Source" setting that determines whether it will sync to its internal tempo or to an external source. Check that setting to be sure it's set the way you want. I'm not familiar with Reason, but it should also have a setting that indicates whether you want it to use its...

Your best bet might be to contact Ableton to see if other people are having this same problem, in case it turns out to be something that Ableton will need to address with an update.

If you want to use the pedal board exclusively with the Kemper then you can connect it to the Kemper rather than the MOTU, and there's no need to connect the Kemper's MIDI to the MOTU. My tentatively-suggested setup was based on not knowing what you want to use each controller for. Also, I...

I think he meant divide the equipment up into different piles or stacks. Since I'm not familiar with most of that equipment, this is going to be the blind leading the blinder, so keep that in mind. First, I see that the Kemper Profiler is an amp. I take it you're plugging a guitar into it? I'm...

In my experience-- and as PSR said-- lite versions of DAWs usually do allow you to save your recordings. It's the free trial versions which usually prevent you from saving or exporting your projects. But this might vary from DAW to DAW. I know that Ableton Live Lite does indeed let you save...

I use many free VSTs, mostly soft synths. One of my favorite free VST soft synths is MinimogueVA, which is no longer available from the developer's site, although it's archived by other sites, such as Download Free Minimoog emulation plug-in: MiniMogueVA by Glen Stegner.

Depending on the interface, there might be a benefit from connecting to the interface rather than directly to the computer. For instance, some of the iConnectivity MIDI interfaces can accept connections (via powered USB hub) from several USB-MIDI devices at once, as well as connections from...

The following comments are just my opinions, and other people may have differing opinions. :) If you intend to connect a keyboard or controller to another MIDI device, then it would be best to get a keyboard/controller that has MIDI ports, because you'll be able to directly connect the two...

The Yamaha P-255 isn't a keyboard controller, it's a digital piano. Of course, it can be used as a controller. But if you're primarily interested in using it as a controller rather than in playing it as a digital piano, then you might want to broaden your search to other P-xxx models that aren't...

"Quantize" is one of those words that sounds like you surely want to use it. Newbie: "Quantize? What the heck is that? Hmm. 'Quantize'... 'Quantity'... Well, of course I want more quantity! I'd better turn quantize on!"

I know, but I feel bad using something after the free trial period. :) Except I do still use SynthFont from time to time. It's in kind of a gray zone-- it's shareware and nags you to pay or make a contribution, but the version I use is supposed to be free, so I don't feel like I'm stealing by...
