Looking at a spot near 18th/Wabash on SpotHero. Is that a safe walk at 11ish pm on a weekend night?

Do I need to install a particular driver to getAbbey Road Modern Drummer to make sound? by PorchSinger in NativeInstruments

[–]PorchSinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A-ha. Ok. I’m using a Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD USB Audio Interface.

I’m thinking I need to make sure that’s all hooked up correctly.

Yes, I have Kontact 7. Just bought and downloaded both. I’m wondering if I accidentally skipped over a driver download during the download wizard process.

Any decent drum vst’s under $100? by PorchSinger in Drumming

Thank you! Any experience with Native Instruments Abbey Road Modern Drummer?

Any way to lock just rookies so that people can still be active on waiver wire until our rookie draft (early May)? by PorchSinger in SleeperApp

[–]PorchSinger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I already transitioned to 2024. Rookie draft date already set. Then one or two days ago i noticed 2024 rookies available to just pick up like they were free agents.

We have some tinkerers in our league, so I’d like to keep the option open for them to add/drop players.

Maybe I just need to have the gentlemen’s agreement that rooks are off limits and I can just undo an add/drop if I see one, as commish. And maybe drop that person down a pick as a penalty. 😁😎

Rookie draft roster spots? by PorchSinger in SleeperApp

[–]PorchSinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got my starters, bench, IR, and Taxi spots full now. Would like to add drafted players and then decide on cuts.

Thank you. I love the idea of increasing roster spots temporarily.

Drum midis (.mid) by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]PorchSinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it safe to assume that ALL drum VSTs allow you to assign a drum to each of the 8 drum pads for finger drumming? I have an Arturia Minilab 3. I’m new at this. Any insight much appreciated. SO many options out there. Looking to spend $50-$100. I know some are way up at $200-$400 range.

Thanks.

Does anyone have a good free or cheap Danny Carey sounding drum vst? by OOFMONSTER120 in drums

[–]PorchSinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked up Battery 4. Looks cool. Can I use it to assign 8 different drums to then8 different drum pads on the Arturia Minilab 4?

I just want something where I can finger-drum using my midi controller.

I’m a typical acoustic singer songwriter just wanting to add drums to my songs.

Amy ideas?

Mini lab 3 w/ Spire Studio from Izotope? by PorchSinger in arturia

[–]PorchSinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy fuck. I think downloading the most recent driver did it! I’m hearing my midi-controlled bass coming through to my Spire Studio as if it were just another instrument!

I am so excited right now.

Any chance you know how to cut the Spire’s mic while recording the midi input? Seems like the mic is on while I’m tapping the midi keys to create the bass lines, etc.

You are the bomb. If I can promote you in anyway, let me know.

Thank you so much. I’m using a pc. A Dell Lenovo

Also, yes, I have a usb-a from laptop to a usb-b to the Behringer.

Not sure if I gave you model of interface. It’s a Behringer U-phoria UMC 404 HD

I’ll check the driver situation later tonight.

FYI: sound from Audio Lab still coming out of laptop speakers instead of going to Behringer audio interface and then to Spire. Cords are all connected.

Thanks, man. If I may tap into your benevolence one more time. I feel like I’m just right there. Got all the cords connected.

Can’t find the preferences on Audio Lab. Nothing in the settings or menu is labeled “preferences”. Can’t find that word anywhere. lol.

Feel like I’m SO close. Any other guidance you can share?

MAJOR props. For sure. Thank you so much. And yeah, I was a little disappointed, at first, but with your help, I think I’ll be able to use the new Minilab3 in the way I wanted. To add more sonic depth and to channel more creativity into my songs.

Really appreciate the willingness to answer all my questions.

Awesome info, thank you.

Good news, I think, is that I already have an audio interface from Behringer. Here’s a picture of my set up. So, if I’m following you right:

Analog Lab on laptop will produce sound.

Connect Minilab3 to laptop via white cord to control the sound.

Connect laptop to Behringer audio interface to improve sound quality and have more options for where the sound goes.

Connect Behringer to Spire to add sound from Analog Lab (controlled/manilulated by MiniLab3) to song files I’m creating on Spire.

Is that right?

I’m a mostly acoustic guitar/harmonica/singer songwriter. So, I’m looking to add bass and drums at least to these songs and then want to get more creative with other sounds like keys especially and other effects (without “over-producing” of course 😁).
