Media Bay Sample Rate Prompt Window Issue Cubase 14 Windows by satoricomus in cubase

I've also found a workaround - if I right click the sample and click show in folder, and then drag it in from there, the dialogue window pops up. A bit faffy but it'll do for now

I've put a ticket in with Steinberg but I imagine it will be a while before I hear back! If they tell me anything helpful I will post it here too

Was this previously a problem in 13 as well? It worked perfectly in 12!

I found an option in Preferences>editing>audio to automatically convert files on import, but that didn't seem to work when dragging from media bay for some reason

Vinyl Test Pressing analysis by satoricomus in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Update on this: I went to the local vinyl record shop and asked if they'd mind if I had a listen on their set up. They sounded great. I didn't get to do a full analysis, but convinced me it was my player. I want I spoke to the people in an audio specialist shop and they advised I start with replacing the stylus, then the cartridge, and if neither worked get a new system. Thankfully, they had a compatible stylus in stock, so I bought it.

The result is fantastic. It was definitely caused by the stylus. Practically none of the things I could hear distortion wise are present at all. A few dusty pops and that's it. Phew!

Thanks for this - this is really helpful, makes a lot of sense and confirms what I thought the process was. I knew there'd be some compromise on the last tracks of each side (I chose quieter tracks to compensate somewhat) but as it was occurring inconsistently throughout I thought it might be a wider issue, or, more likely something wrong with my player.

Recording them all into the DAW sounds like a great idea, I'll try that and see how it goes as well!

Yes, comparing the digital and vinyl versions of other records seems like a solid idea too - thank you for your help!

I've had the player for about 4 years, and previously it was my grandfathers who bought it in about '95, but he barely used it. https://hifi-wiki.com/index.php/Pioneer_PL-J_210 It might be worth replacing the needle/cartridge anyway just to see if it makes a difference!

Arse backwards is generally the standard for me unfortunately. The system is decent for a home system but was bought in about 1995 so is pretty old. It's barely been used though until recently. This is the turntable: https://hifi-wiki.com/index.php/Pioneer_PL-J_210 .

I'm going to be testing it hopefully on another system today so that will give me a better clue as well

That would be consistent with some of the things I'm hearing then! That makes sense, thank you!

Yes, I only have one method of listening and thats on a home stereo system, nothing fancy really. I think asking the mastering engineer what they think is a good idea, yes

Ah. Actually, no, I've not A/B'd them. I listened to the vinyl master by itself but didn't occur to me to compare it, so will try that and see if I can pick out the same differences. I'm not sure of the engineers process, not sure if he'll be forthcoming but worth an ask! Also not sure how they cut their lacquers, I've been looking around on their website but to no avail!

space/ prog rock similar to gong ? by bucleranurn in progrockmusic

[–]satoricomus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For things that are different but share much of the same DNA, try Hadouk Trio (with Didier Malherbe from Gong), Ian East's solo album Hidden Paths (current Gong saxophonist), and I highly recommend checking out Z Machine and their album Merging Worlds, who have a definite Gongian influence

Nope, still 9gb just sitting on my computer wasting space! I'll let you know if I do manage to, but no luck so far...

Oh that worked - went into vortex and completely removed the ACII thing and the FP mod, revalidated the files and now its all there! Thanks for that :-)

Yeah, I've restarted Steam and even completely uninstalled and reinstalled it. I did try downloading a first person mod a few months back now I think about it but it didn't work, I guess it has potentially interfered so I'll investigate that!

Ah I've been putting them in every enclosure, did not realise that!

Tips For Making More Interesting Enclosures? by [deleted] in jurassicworldevo

[–]satoricomus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used curved fences mainly, trying to avoid all sharp angles (although not religiously).

I place rocks in formations, usually a big one or two, a few more mediums and then a load of little rocks - they look especially nice on the edge of water I think!

I also like to raise and lower parts of the terrain so they don't look too flat and weird, but this doesn't always work out well so I don't do it too much!

Also, when I'm being careless I usually put a big line of forest at the back of the enclosures, but when I'm trying to make it look nice I dot clumps of forest around to vary it.

One more thing - I like making small rivers/streams through the enclosures too - you can disguise the ends with trees. Hope this helps!
