I have Mixcraft and find it to be very easy to use. In fact, I have several other DAWs-- Live, Cubase, Studio One, Tracktion, etc.-- and Mixcraft is the one I generally prefer to use. It isn't perfect (nothing ever is), but my complaints about it are few and far between. HOWEVER, I absolutely...

Did you see this? They're talking about Sony Vegas Pro, but it sounds like the same issue. http://www.designstudioschool.com/hangs-initializing-direct-plugins-t44794.html

Avid's web site (Pro Tools | First | Compare | Avid) says that the "Supported plug-in formats (virtual instruments, effects, and sound processors)" are "AAX Native, AAX AudioSuite." If you're trying to use non-AAX plug-ins, they won't work in Pro Tools First.

I bought a refurbished computer several years ago that was an incredible deal-- very fast, with a ridiculously large amount of hard drive space, and originally configured to be a server. If I'd bought it new it would have cost at least twice as much. As I recall, the ad in the Dell Outlet said...

The current version of Cubase is 8. If it came bundled with an audio interface, why is it such an old version? Usually bundled software is the current version. I wonder if upgrading from version 5 to version 8 would help resolve some of the issues you're having? According to Wikipedia, Cubase...

Okay, having done a bit of research, I guess I understand why Roland is sending a Note Off velocity of 64-- it indicates that the key is being released at a normal or average speed. I already knew that Note Off velocity can be used to send additional information about how the key is being...

Now that is seriously messed up. Roland, Roland, Roland, what were you thinking? My wild-ass guess is that the velocity of 64 on the first Note Off message must be confusing either the adapter, the driver, or the software, causing it/them to see the following messages as Note On instead of Note...

If there's a problem with the MIDI data that's being sent, the most likely source of the problem would be a setting on the Roland. It's not uncommon for MIDI instruments to use Note On messages in place of Note Off messages, as this allows for the use of "running status." However, the first...

I've downloaded all of them-- I ended up downloading the 34 individual ZIP files, because when I tried to download them as a single ZIP file the download got to 96% (which took a little while) and then I lost my internet connection due to a storm that was passing through our area at the time. I...

I just found this page with free VST synths-- the programmer who created them (Günther Hager) passed away in 2014, but made the Pro versions available as freeware before he passed away. https://archive.org/details/HGFortuneNFG

Wow, that's incredible! It normally takes a lot longer than a couple of minutes just to download it, then a lot longer just to "prepare" the installation, then a lot longer still to actually install it after the computer's been rebooted. Even if you're talking about only the install-after-reboot...

The nice thing about the book I mentioned is that it's written for both Mixcraft and GarageBand-- each topic and exercise is discussed first for one program, then the other. But as I said, it's for Mixcraft 6-- which is similar enough to Mixcraft 7 to not be a problem, although none of Mixcraft...

I second the recommendation for Mixcraft. There is a book called Making Music with GarageBand and Mixcraft that is written to be used as a course textbook, although it covers the previous version of Mixcraft (6). You can also download a free teacher's guide and other materials for the latest...

I haven't had any problems with it on my laptop. I'd been having trouble installing it on my desktop computer-- it kept failing-- so I decided to just let it install automatically since it's being rolled out in waves the way the original Windows 10 update was. Yesterday I decided to try the...

Well, whichever of the two Kawais you decide to get (if you do get one of them), I'll definitely be green with envy! :)

I don't use Live very much myself, but I was able to add a total of 8 audio and/or MIDI tracks in Live Lite before I got a message that no more tracks could be added. This was in addition to the Reverb and Chorus tracks that are set up by default when you start a new project in Live Lite, so...

I honestly don't know how their keybeds compare. As much as the VPC-1 costs, I'd certainly expect it to have a fantastic keybed. But then the MP11 is even more expensive-- since it's an actual instrument with sounds, effects, and other features-- so I'd also expect it to have a fantastic keybed...

Just to be clear, so there are no misunderstandings on your part: I don't classify my comments as "expertise" by any stretch of the imagination, and I have no wish to intentionally or unintentionally mislead you or anyone else about the supposed extent of my abilities or the supposed breadth of...

The Kawai transmits on channel 1 by default, unless you change it with the editor. The Kurzweil receives all 16 channels by default, so you don't need to tell the Kurzweil that you want to receive channel 1, or any other channel you've set the Kawai to transmit on. I think the Kurzweil uses...

Live Lite limits you to 8 tracks, which can be either audio or MIDI-- 8 audio, 8 MIDI, 4 audio plus 4 MIDI, or some other combination of audio and MIDI tracks that add up to 8.
