Re: Pitch Bend Wheel fake 14 bit resolution

The problem is largely physical. Consider the actual track length of an average rotary control against the contact area of the wiper, then add in irregularities in the surface plus background noise - added to micro-movements caused, or amplified by vibration of the control wheel. The 'cheap' way to...

Re: Pitch Bend Wheel fake 14 bit resolution

It doesn't matter much to me, but I found out that while pitch bend messages "should be" 14 bits instead of the usual 7 bits for CC, resulting in 16.384 discrete values, my midi keyboard's pitch wheel sends those values with increments of 128, so the actual resolution of the pitch bend wh...

Re: Getting a good (guitar) sound across multiple listening devices. Advice?

I do find everything seems to sound great on the monitor speakers - which is great while I'm listening to it but kind of a problem when it comes to generalizing to other speakers, headphones, etc. Also I don't live alone and usually work in the middle of the night, so speakers aren't always an opti...

Re: Windows VST GUI not refreshing

Curious to see what's the problem I tried to install the demo version of GForce Software's M-Tron Pro IV. That won't even respond to clicking on the button 'Run Demo' to run the demo ha ha. Oh well... :wink:

Re: Getting a good (guitar) sound across multiple listening devices. Advice?

Spectre Sound Studio's keeps on posting video's to demonstrate that the amp doesn't make the difference: the speaker in your cabinet does. As does the placement of the mic (as you would expect). A recent one:

You have a rather old Hydrogen version. Current version is 1.3.0 alpha or 1.2.3 stable.

I know. But I never use Hydrogen. I installed it just now for the example. :)

Re: I can't get Rosegarden to see Hydrogen

If I were you I'd want to sequence Hydrogen with a Midi sequencer and then record it's audio output with a DAW. Most DAW's (like Qtractor) can record audio and are also Midi sequencers. Indeed. With Jack Transport you can synchronize Hydrogen to your DAW. If you program the beats in Hydrogen itself...

Re: I can't get Rosegarden to see Hydrogen

Here's how I did a quick recording of some Hydrogen drum audio with Qtractor. Example: Open Qtractor and Hydrogen. Make audio connections (I didn't use Midi). You can do this via Qjackctl or via Qtractor's Connections window: "View > Windows > Connections (F8)". They are essentially the sa...

Re: Getting a good (guitar) sound across multiple listening devices. Advice?

I don't know if you use an physical amp and a microphone to record your (electric?) guitar but getting the sound as good on the recording as it sounds live is a known problem/frustration of producers. See this video by Spectre Sound Studios on it, may not be your style of music but it might help: h...

Re: I can't get Rosegarden to see Hydrogen

That's entirely possible. I tried to drag a connection for midi but it wouldn't let me do it for some reason. I'm probably missing something as I'm a total noob when it comes to DAW software. Instead of Qjackctl's 'Patchbay' window, could you use and post a screenie of Qjackctl's 'Connect' window? ...

Re: I can't get Rosegarden to see Hydrogen

I probably need better reading glasses, but in the screenshot of Qjackctl I can't see any Midi connection from Hydrogen to Rosegarden... You want to let Rosegarden control Hydrogen via Midi, aren't you? That's entirely possible. I tried to drag a connection for midi but it wouldn't let me do it for...

Re: What's your workflow?

What do y'all use to "save" your work: do you record the audio or the Midi (notes)? Some of us even use music notation software and export it as Midi. What software/DAW do you use?
