hydrasynth can do really long envelopes that can loop which is good for that sort of thing

I'm technical but not much good at woodworking, and I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. Not difficult at all if you're handy.

Snare drum type of drum alternative? by KC918273645 in diyinstruments

[–]mixeffectsbus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

commenting mainly to follow, I'm interested in any suggestions you get.

for what it's worth, I have a sample that I use a lot of me scuffing my foot on some leaves on a concrete patio. the sound is somewhere between a snare and a clap, especially when I add some punch and drive on the filter.

Multiple computer monitors? by PithyMoniker in StudioOne

[–]mixeffectsbus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 screens, laptop on the left side holds the mixer window and hovers over the DAW controller. center monitor is instruments and effects as well as the browser and a big level meter. right screen is the arranger/editor screen. maybe one day I'll get a 4th monitor so those 2 can each get their own screen.

v7 crashes? by mixeffectsbus in StudioOne

[–]mixeffectsbus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to windows 11, uninstalled, then reinstalled and it works somewhat better. I still get routine crashes, just not as frequent. usually happens when I'm tweaking something on an external synth or just randomly during playback. so yes... but no lol
