    software to read midi events?

    If you were looking in the printed manual, that might be why you missed it. It's always a good idea to download the PDF version of a manual if one is available, because it's much easier and faster to search through the manual for a particular word or phrase using the PDF "Find" command...

    software to read midi events?

    I'll see if I can find out anything about the Kawai MP6-- I'm downloading the manual now. Note that when you use a MIDI controller with a DAW, the DAW usually has a MIDI learn feature that lets you map a particular control's messages to a particular VST parameter or DAW action. Your DAW might...

    Studio one wav files export/save

    They should be able to save everything as a project in Studio One Pro. Are they aware that you're also using Studio One?

    Resource Monitor for DAW

    In Studio One: View | Performance Monitor | Show Devices I haven't actually used it before so I'm not sure if it gives you what you're looking for, but it looks close anyway. :)

    Resource Monitor for DAW

    If you're on Windows, there's a utility called "Process Explorer" that might help: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx

    MIDI files that can uploaded and used for recordings?

    There are at least four ways you could use them, depending on what you want to accomplish: (1) If you have a GM-compatible musical keyboard-- not just a MIDI keyboard controller, but a keyboard that makes its own sounds-- then you can load the MIDI file into the keyboard and play it back...

    Complete Noop with MiDi Keyboards

    Personally, I think you got screwed by buying the controller via eBay, because I believe it should have come with (1) a free registration for the Ableton Live Lite DAW, and (2) a free registration for AIR Ignite. If you bought it used, chances are the person you bought it from already downloaded...

    software to read midi events?

    What you're probably looking for is called a "MIDI monitor." Most DAWs have a MIDI monitor function available, but there are also standalone utilities available. What operating system are you using? Perhaps the best-known MIDI monitor and MIDI router utility for Windows is MIDI-OX. I'm not...

    Best Orchestrial Strings VST

    I think the reason companies like to give away free players is because often the free sounds that come with the free players are either just so-so sounding or limited in selection, so you end up having to buy sound sets anyway. :) But I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, because then...

    Best Orchestrial Strings VST

    A couple of others that I have bookmarked are LinPlug (although I can't get their web page to come up?) and Synful. I've no experience with either one, but I've heard good things about Synful from someone who uses it.

    Midi with tuned instruments?

    Can you explain a bit about the situation, the gear, the software, etc.? Since this is a home recording forum, I assume you're talking about making tracks sound in tune with each other, not about a group of performers who can get in tune before playing-- but if you're recording a performance...

    Midi with tuned instruments?

    A MIDI part is only as "truly perfect" as the instrument that's playing the MIDI part. :) There are MIDI messages that can be used to adjust an instrument's tuning if needed, or (depending on the instrument) possibly even adjust the tuning of the individual notes of a scale. But for hardware...

    They have some free products that you can try out to see what you think: Komplete : Free | Products You have until July 31st to take advantage of their current offer, so you might as well take some time to give their free stuff a good, long test spin. :) Special Offer | Products I've only...

    Cubase "Cracj"; what's with this?

    Actually, Cubase is now at 8.5, although Elements is still at 8. I don't remember exactly when 8.5 came out-- toward the end of 2015-- and I've read that Elements is usually updated about 6 months after that. So if you upgrade to Elements 8 right now there's a pretty good chance that you'll...

    Ableton Live 9 Upgrade sale

    Today Ableton started a 1-week sale for upgrades to Live 9. I've been getting emails from them for several years and have tracked their sales-- which they have on a regular basis each year-- and I've noticed that the sale which they have in early June of each year seems to offer the best...

    Increase font size for strained eyes dude?

    Oh yeah, having someone shoot laser beams into my eyes sounds like fun! (Not.) :D You're right, now that you mention it I think it was glaucoma, because I remember thinking at the time, "Well, I have nothing to worry about on that account" because I was a pot head back then, and pot usage is...

    Increase font size for strained eyes dude?

    I hear you. I saw something about that when I decided to research "floaters" on the web one day. But it hasn't been a sudden increase, just something that gradually got more noticeable over the years, especially because of the one or two in my right eye that seem to like getting in the way of...

    Increase font size for strained eyes dude?

    Yeah, I can definitely relate to that. Several years ago I went to the optometrist after decades of not doing that regularly, and he prescribed some progressive lenses for me. I hated them so much that a couple of years later I went back for a new checkup and insisted on getting two different...

    Increase font size for strained eyes dude?

    I'm not sure if REAPER lets you customize the font size, but a couple of options might be to decrease the overall screen resolution of your computer desktop so the pixels are bigger, or change your computer's system font size, or maybe both. The first option means you won't be able to fit as...
