    You know what, Sunday Sounds' Sunday Keys App already done it. And there's no issue at all. It also support 3rd party plugin. Also new ipad doesn't heat much at all (when I'm using sunday keys app along with 3rd party plugin). IT'S A POWERFUL APP! I mean, all your concerns have been addressed with these guys in sunday sounds and they've been successful since day 1. Do some research. I don't think apple can't do it. They even implement ipad version for Final Cut. So why?

    I have a problem I can't figure out. I'm trying to make the sampler use only ONE of the zones from the different zones assigned to the same key on a Latin Percussion kit. I've tried everything I could to make it play only one of the zones but it keeps cycling through the different zones automatically and I can't figure out how to stop/modify this. It's the Stomps in the kit and I only like Stomp Copy 7 but every time I hit the key, it cycles to the different zones of the audio file. How can I modify this to only play Stomp Copy 7 zone? EDIT: Knowing this information will also help me know how to setup up the automatic cycling in case I also want to create a sampler instrument where one key triggers several different zones of an audio file.

    they changed the number, but in reality, there is nothing really new, apart from a distorter and other useless plugins, it's been years, that we hope for a search for plugins, a decent browser manager, more responsive audio editing, it seems that Apple is only investing in iPad devices and not in your computers.

    Is there a way to have the keyboard play the same notes played by the drum pads but play just the instrument sound and bypass the sample? Because if not, why not just use the keyboard to trigger samples exclusively, since key inputs are needed regardless of it being routed to a drum pad or not?

  • @jordanhope5018

    How do you determine if the balance issues are an audio fix (mixer edits) or a performance issue ("marimbas: play softer")?

    • @CatherallAudio
      @CatherallAudio 27 днів тому

      That’s a great question and is very dependent on the situation. There are scenarios where we as a staff discuss whether we want to change the mixer volume, the performer volume, or the mallet choice. A lot of it is dependent on the tone and color of the instrument. If we change the performer volume it can have an affect on the color and timbre that we’re hearing. So if we like the timbre but want it to be softer that usually happens at the mixer level.

    What wireless access point are you using? The school I am the audio engineer for is using a tp-link wireless access point, but it seems like in larger stadiums with a larger audience, the wireless is far less reliable. Using the Ethernet output from our Behringer x32 to connect direct to the Access point. Thanks for your help!

    Hi! I have a question regarding mainstage. My band is getting ready to do some shows and plan to use mainstage for the keyboard parts. We are really beginners when it comes to this… So please explain like we’re 3 years old ;) we started today to add patches for each song in the setlist. Now we wonder, for example if one song has organ and strings in the riff and we created layers with both organ and strings to play at the same time, but in the verse it should only be organ. Is it possible to assign let’s say a pad on the keyboard that will ”mute” the strings when pressing it to play the verse with just the organ sounding and then hit the pad again for unmute when the chorus come in? Or must we use 2 keyboards? We only planned on using a 37 keys keyboard so it’s not optimal to split it. if you have any easy and cool ideas please let us know! We’re a duo so the keyboard will be played by a hired musician, But we want to get the setup ready to save him the time… looking forward to hear from you…and remember we’re dummies kind regards jojje/Introspektivet

    Maybe I am missing something obvious, but it's just not working. It appears that I am loading wav files successfully into the mapping window, and the yellow column is assigned to a key, but when I try to trigger it, I get no sound. I am using a malletstation, so maybe it doesn't work the same as a keyboard synth. But, if I switch to another patch like glockenspiel or marimba, it works fine. When I go back to this one, no sound. It does keep saying "metronome," at the top instead of "instrument." I keep thinking maybe that's the problem, but I don't know how to change that. Any suggestions?

    • @CatherallAudio
      @CatherallAudio 29 днів тому

      Its possible that you loaded the sampler on the metronome channel strip? You should also check if you have the samples set as "one-shot" or not. If its not set as a "one-shot" then that could cause the problem you're experiencing.

    How do you get your audio out of your USB Audio interface and into the room? Can you plug a ¼ inch instrument patch cable from the audio interface’s output, right into the input of a clean guitar amp? (Or two guitar amps, if you want stereo?) I tried this and it sounded horrible and shrill. It sounds great going into my Presonus studio monitors. Should I just take a pair of powered monitors on the road with me? Or do you go straight from your USB audio interface into the house’s mixing board? How do YOU get your sound out of your computer and into the room? Thanks!
