    Sound module for drums... Roland XV series??

    I have an XV5080 but it is along the same lines that you are looking at. A couple of thoughts. 1) go to your music store (Roland has patch lists on their web site but not sample lists) and get a list of samples in the module in question. If the names are the same (ie fat kick on one and fat...

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    Thanks for an informative (and informed) response to an "endless debate" question. My thought is that many will continue to believe the PMC "myth", but that is their choice. Take Care

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    Rev E, thank you for that response. Very informative. I would ask, a number of people have said that the PMC (poor man's copyright) works with a "registered letter" as that is always sealed and the seal is marked with date etc. My guess is that there is no case law regarding this, or you...

    anyone get the new free vst plugs?

    Well, a lot depends on the type of music you make and what you own. For example, the free synth from RGC "Triangle" is included in the package. I don't use it because I have pentagon I, which is by the same company and a lot more powerful than Triangle. People can argue that Triangle save...

    anyone get the new free vst plugs?

    I already had most of them and only use one or two. Not sure what Cakewalk was thinking... users who frequent the net have this stuff and lots more... I guess it is for people who don't look around too much. Glad they are trying though! Take Care

    Use WaveLab's spectrum analyzer in Sonar?

    Try this link for an easy tool bar editor: http://mandala-in-mind.de Also, WavLab would only let you look at the file you opened in it, not the what is going through a bus in real time etc. etc. Inspector, the link I gave you in my last post, will do what you want.

    Use WaveLab's spectrum analyzer in Sonar?

    You could use WaveLab but you have to put it in the tools menu yourself. There should be numerous posts on how to do that. Here is a good free plug: http://www.elementalaudio.com/products/inspector/index.html The downside is that it wants to install some demo plugs, (but unlike some, they...

    sonatus multicompressor presets

    I agree with Moskus. I don't remember a seperate help file for these plug ins, but if you open it in Sonar and click on "Help"...a help file pops up which explains each control. Also, most presets are guidelines or templates that have to be tailored to your particular material. Finally, a...

    Roland D-70 Question

    It has been a dog's life since I had a D-70 (no really a dog's life!) But I think: Are you sure you are saving the performance and not the patch. Roland usually (and I think it did on the D-70) consider things like piano #11 a patch. The Multi with the five difference instruments was a...

    my mp3 encoder trial has expired help!

    Again Moskus, I am in awe. Visited the website and they mentioned Sonar, not Sonar 3 and also win 2000, no XP. Anyone know if this also works with Sonar 3 and WinXP? Seems like it should.... just wondering if there was any feedback to the contrary before I try it! TIA Take Care

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    Alright, spending far more time on this than anyone should, I did a web search. Most sites say that mailing something to yourself is useless. Some say that it is useless, but do it anyway. A couple say that it is good protection. Here are some that I (biased point of view) found most...

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    Actually, I didn't miss that. I suppose this is where we agree to disagree. I believe that it does not legally show proof of ownership and date and is essentially useless. If it makes someone feel good to use it, fine. The danger is that they won't take the real step they need to prove their...

    Tack Piano

    It is when you place thumb-tacks on the piano hammers, so instead of hard felt hitting the strings you have metal tacks. Gives a brighter, harsher kinda (dare I say?) metallic sound. Take Care

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    I'm not sure if you looked at the thread that I linked to on the site. One challenge was to show any case that have ever been won with that method of "proof." Aside from the fact that dates etc can be change, envelopes opened and resealed, and the court costs of defending yourself if that is...

    writer's block on chord prgressions

    There are a couple of things that I do: I write a lot in minor keys (mostly instrumental music for piano), so I thing about the same song in a major key.... really shakes things up This sounds dumb, but I don't try to write perfectly when I'm stuck (of course I have the extremely rare flash...

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    This topic has been covered a number of times before. I thought I had read some pretty interesting discussions on it. Here is one of the best: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=6185&highlight=copyright

    what will I need to do to copyright my song?

    Well, I guess in today's world the issue really isn't when you have the copyright, but who can prove they have the copyright. Anything short of registering it is just that..... short. You can register a bunch of songs as a collection, doesn't cost much, but it does take a long time. This is...

    Cakewalk folders?

    You could drag you whole Projects folder to another drive and point to it with your folder options. Be careful because initially if you select projects using the recent project list (either from the pop up menu or the file menu in Sonar) it will open the one on the original drive (you could...

    MusicLab

    I have the gold or pro version of RnC or whatever it is called. Not being a guitar player, I really like it. I don't have that many guitar parts in my songs, but I turn to that first and generally like the results. There is a bug they are working on.... it plays external midi synths fine, but...
