For reasons too detailed and boring to get into, I now want to have Mixcraft on two computers in my house. I want all libraries and files to be in an external drive accessible by both machines. But when I import sounds (like my new found 104 Percussion Hits) Mixcraft insists on putting them in Progr...

Boy, I'll say it was a great inclusion. (What version did it start in? I never even thought looking for something like it.) Had I not found out it was there and ran into something like it in my research, I'd probably have bought it for $25 or more. As I said before, Mixcraft is a great product at a ...

Sounds like there is an opportunity in here for someone. Accoustica? There used to be dozens of video sites and YouTube - with their really dumb name in my opinion - came out the "winner". Time for a competitor? At least in terms of the content we're talking about? Funded by ads from Guita...

Hey Mark. . Looks like we were posting at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with trying to get better drum sounds. As I said I considered just dropping $150 on Addictive 2 since the work would have been done for me. (Seems like it's a toss up as to which is better - ...

Finally was able to steal some time tonight to work on this. And I am very satisfied. I downloaded a free sample set called 104 percussion samples or something like that. Loaded them into the mixcraft library. Opened OmniSampler and simply put one of the conga beats in one pad and the very same one ...

Here's a topic that never seems to get old. I've spent over an hour looking up threads going back over 2 years and continue to learn a lot from that. At this point I have to say what I've thought for the last week or so in working in Mixcraft - it's incredible the wealth of features and the capabili...

Good suggestion Gary; I may play around with that. But I'm interested now in using OmniSampler to create my own percussion set with the various sounds I've gathered from the Internet as well as what comes standard. (Thanks for the suggestion and youtube link John.) Here's what I think I do - someone...

Thanks Greg - looks like tha's what I was missing. I'll try it out over the weekend and let you know.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I can't figure out how to use Coyote Wah. . By itself it doesn't create the wah wah effect. Using the slider it does, but that can't be done while playing. From this thread I have two questions : 1. If I got an expression pedal would that control the slider in co...

Ah, now I get it. Thanks. Makes sense, though I don't know why you'd want to change the piano roll map without also changing the virtual instrument. That's what confused me.

Sorry. Should have looked up omnisampler first. I see it comes with MC and I can load samples in it. And I guess adjust the tone slightly so I can have different sounding conga hits Also I see I can load any audio file. So that answers my question there as well. I think I am very well on my way. Tha...

Again thanks. But more questions. I'll have to read up on creating my own drum kit but it sounds like that would do it. How does one remap a midi file to say studio drums? What is an omnisampler? Software used to build a sound bank (that is, my own percussion kit)? Musically this is way more than I'...

I found many loop files are well as some soundfont files and also a file of 104 percussion sounds that are one shot wav files. A good chance the wav files will be what I need - but then how do I get them to work to create a beat? I can't imagine I have to insert a sound for each beat (which could be...

I really appreciate the help. However, every answer leads to another question. When you say they are GM (general midi) and have to be remapped - can you explain? And if I need to remap to the existing kits that are in Mixcraft, I'm afraid that won't help. My issue is not programming the beats I want...

Thanks Tom for the response. I thought of loops but want to avoid that if possible for two reasons. First in the intro of songs in particular I want to match the style that Carlos' percussionists played. But more important I want to 'play' it myself on the keyboard. Though I'm 'cheating' as it is by...
