Greetings, I have not used Mixcraft regularly for a prolonged time, so the concepts fade out of my memory. After having to upgrade to W10 recently, I tried to get the DAW running smoothly again. Today I hauled in a music mp3 to check if the interface works and I noticed, that the DAW´s meters go int...

Thank you Mark. Good to view you too. Against all odds, I managed to solve the conundrum. Ed. 2 is out (link on top) and I find it useful myself. Hey, I have written my own help manual. Keep revisting that page, this is work in progress. Let me know if anything needs more attention. Have fun, -Helmut

Thank you for your reply. I was indeed trying to daisy-chain two compressors and link some of their controls. This does not make sense normally, but refers to an attempt made here that tries to eliminate a subjective "flaw" in Reacomp by daisy-chaining two instances. It has turned out that...

Thanks for your reply.
I can map both instance's faders to the same CC number, but only one moves.
I don´t have an external device that produces MIDI.

Hi, I am currently working on a thing that asks for two consecutive (equal) plugins, and I want to gang their faders. I saw this in Reaper with Reacomp, and it works via MIDI. Two instances of a plugin on a track see each others faders on the list of available MIDI controls. It is similar to midi co...

New insights have changed the situation. Please read the edit in my first post.

No one?

Hi,
is there any way to change a MIDI part´s reference pitch to other than A=440? I want to experiment with subtle changes, not halftones or the like.
Thanks,

I spent more time with GTune. Like many others it displays a green center that lulls you into the confidence of believing you have perfect pitch. It has the advantage though that it displays below how many cents your are off. In comparison, you clearly see the display rotating on a strobe tuner for ...

I checked the TC polytune VST. This seems to be an older version, but works. Be prepared to wait ages for the C++ library to download and install. I thought this had stalled, because it showed no signs of progress. Yes it works. What they call "stream mode" is supposed to be akin to a stro...

Some more contemplation leads me to the following conclusions: I share the feelings about the supplied tuner. By the time you hit the DAW, you are pretty late to think about tuning. It is not the DAW´s purpose to guarantee correct tuning, so having a tuner there can only be a crutch at best. Many of...

There is a VST from GVST called GTune . Thats what Greg is probably referring to. It works better. I only can get it to work on playback however. A pseudo strobe tuner used to exist called G-tune . This seems obsoleted. The author says his product is now Strobosoft from Peterson. You have to have 49...

I have a similar TC Helicon device that uses a guitar´s strumming to determine the chord to harmonize to. Since this is not practical on a track-by-track recording scenario, I forked a guitar-like synth track that plays on one of my interface outputs into the TC-Helicon. This works a treat (if your ...

When I still had my 32bit machine, memory was at its limits when using samplers like EZD. I observed that memory does not get released when unloading plug-ins or upon freezing. I requested that feature, but as of now (end of V.7 development) this does not seem to have changed. With 64 bits and oodle...
