I loved the look of RX8 and was waiting for a sale on ‘standard’ but then RX9 came out and doesn’t work on my OS. I got the ‘elements’ version but that doesn’t have the excellent spectral editing.

Anyone know if you can buy previous version of RX anywhere?

Hi again folks. So this is needless:fearless reworked and updated. I’ve completely re-done the vocals, this time in the right key (oops :oops: - well spotted everyone). Reduced the reverb and added a number of elements/automation which I hope keep the listener’s attention. As you can see it’s only sl ...

TDR Nova works in 32-bit. Not as good as Pro-Q3 but it’s free. It’s also a dynamic EQ, like the paid version, just has fewer bands.

Really helpful feedback here, thanks folks. I want to try and keep the length. Could maybe cut it a bit, but I hear what you’re saying about mixing it up to reward the listener. Listening to the Pink Floyd song there’s a sizeable contrast between the verses and the choruses. Something definitely lac ...

I wonder if hearing is like taste and smell. If you keep tasting or smelling something that isn’t great for long enough, eventually it doesn’t seem too bad. Then leave it for a while, when you go back to it you realise how bad it was. I guess that’s one of the reasons we use references. To reset the ...

https://soundcloud.com/in_name_only/needlessfearless/s-xy1L9lyJaPy?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Hi folks I’d really appreciate some feedback on my latest production and mixing. It’s called ‘needless:fearless’, the genre is electronica with some acid undertones. Sor ...

You’re on an 8 year old piece of kit so I doubt you’d see an improvement with new software. Probably the opposite, even if it’s well specced. Ultimately, Apple want you to keep updating your hardware. Ps if you really must update, finish any projects first and get them bounced. My worst experience up ...

Have you checked Logic’s plugin manager?

Or go to "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components" and see if it’s there. If not, find it and put it there.

I got this, thanks VSTbuzz. Don’t know if you know the UJAM folk but I’d love to see a specialist Beatmaker for breakbeats....

RX8 is on a deal right now because RX9 is coming out soon. So you get discounts on RX8 and then a free upgrade when 9 is out. It’s not quite as cheap as I’ve seen it before but then before it didn’t come with a free upgrade.

The deal is definitely on Plug-in Boutique and probably others.

Thanks Dave, after 2 hours googling I was beginning to think the cable was the problem, but still was wondering if it was the settings or a duff interface. I knew I should’ve come here first - you replied within 15 minutes

So I just bought my first analogue synth - a UNO synth - that has only 3.5mm audio out. And I have a Focusrite Saffire 6 interface. The mic inputs on the Saffire both work fine. Putting headphones on the synth works fine. I found a 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead that came with some speaker, connected a 3.5mm ...

Ps if you do or if anyone else does use the stems - it’s 115bpm and in A minor. Each stem is a .wav file and covers the entire length of the song, ie bars 1 to 183

Hey Arpangel thanks for checking out my song. But what you’re describing I don’t think is the sound I’m going for. I’ve uploaded the stems though if you want to do something else with it... be my guest https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1QwNtRJoQGoH9Ke8kbcV7bjMNI4J265py?pli=1&sort=13&direc ...

Ps BJG I’d love to find a Martin Gore to do my backing vocals

BJG and Drew, thank you both so much for listening and taking time to comment. I’ve got some fixing to do on the vocal - by the time I get it right on the take my mouth has dried out! :headbang: I think there’s some eqing to do on the reverb. At the moment the snare and the lead vocal share the same ...

Phew, this one's been a long time coming. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately, of course) I got a new job since my song 'natasha' and as the job pays the rent I had to focus on that. So this little project was happening in the background and I'd love to hear your views on it - arrangement, mixing ...

Haha yes, very critical but that’s exactly what I’m after. That’s some really helpful advice from you both, Elf and blinddrew. Thank you both so much for taking the time to listen and comment.

Hi All, I'd really appreciate your critical ears on my production and mixing. It's done in Logic and is all midi apart from the vocals. I've been doing the soundgym mixing course and this is my first effort, so be kind but be honest and any advice would be gratefully accepted. Thank you :thumbup ...

Jono Buchanan from MusicTech explains everything so clearly and succinctly.

The free version of Waveform by Tracktion is pretty good. It has a program to generate MIDI patterns and chord progressions so could be useful for someone who only has the use of one hand. Any DAW that accepts VST plugins has a huge array of virtual instruments available. Many are free, you just ...

Rich was simply employing irony to highlight the fact that they used a castle in Kent to stand in as Nottingham castle. Well thanks everyone for educationg me. I knew there was another Rochester oop Norf, but had never visited, so didn't know it was so inferior that it didn't have a castle :lol: Ah ...

'Legend' - the Robin Hood TV series soundtrack - remains one of my all-time favourite albums. Roland JX-8P featured heavily, which was a favourite of mine, too. It was my daughter's first "grown up" CD when she was about 8. Interesting trivia: the castle on the front of the original sleeve is ...

What did you use to make the note rhythmic? Could you sidechain it to the drum track to sync it?
