I do a lot of folk-pop type stuff and the kit I actually find myself using the most is the Cocktail Kit, though its not really an EZX Of the EZXs, I find the Indie Folk pretty versatile. Best feature in EZD 2 is the ability to swap individual kit pieces from other kits and the ability to pitch them ...

I don't have the full version but I have Melodyne Essential (that comes with Sonar).
Yes, it works for me in Mixcraft (7.5)

Personally, whatever FX I use I apply at the mixing stage (or before) to individual tracks. All adjustments and tweaking are also done at the mixing stage. I try to get everything sounding how I want it (or as good as possible) then bounce down to a single WAV file. The only "mastering" I ...

Thanks,
Does this mix mono tracks to mono WAVs?

Where you have a project with several audio tracks where the clips all start different measures. Is there a way to save the individual tracks as a wav files that all start at measure 1 ? Clearly all the wav files would have different amounts of blank space at the start but it would be easy to line t...

I would just also endorse that the SM57 is a good all round choice and if for whatever reason you don't like it, they hold their value well second hand so you can always sell it. You need a pop filter? - fashion one out of a wire coat hanger and a stocking. Don't agonise too much over equipment choi...

Not sure I understand the question or rather the configuration you're talking about.
We talking hardware, software, both? Can you be more precise about the set up you're describing?

Yes this is possible, as long as you have an interface with a Midi Out port

From my personal angle, I have Addictive Drums 2 and EZ Drummer 2. Both sound great and are very much capable of producing excellent drum tracks. It's easy to assemble tracks with both programs - you audition beats in their libraries and once you've found what you're after, you drag them from the GU...

Just a thought - I wonder if there is some midi (CC) event or data present at the start of the midi track (e.g. a bank/preset selection or volume, etc) that is triggering the VSTi to make some unwanted change when you press play. I think these events are normally filtered out in the midi piano roll ...

I've learned a couple of good tips now... and all thanks to our inadvertently helpful troll

In MC 7 you can grab the bottom edge and drag it to any size you want. You can also right click a track's fader to select an exact volume or a preset %. In my experience you always get a prompt response here in the forum from either the MC staff or knowledgeable members of the MC community. If you '...

I'm not sure this is a bug. Personally, it sounds like MC is behaving in the way I'd expect it to. I would have thought what governs the "end point" of a rendered mix is the last event in the track view, and not any decaying residual sound resulting from any VST FX such as delay repeats or...

I would say that experience and knowledge is much more important than what tools you use. Ozone 7 is no doubt capable of producing a "pro" sound when used in the right hands, but then the same could be said for a lot of freebie VST FX. I'm not saying don't buy it, Ozone 7 is a good all-in-...
