@davidebrossa4235 Hi, Thanks, I'm glad you like my videos. Alesis has pushed its account management to InMusic and I can see the vortex preset editor download file link is to an exe (win10) file or dmg (mac) file. Unfortunately, modern browsers / firewalls will not download these files directly from the internet as they are deemed insecure. For some reason InMusic does not understand that. Its best to log a support ticket with InMusic or Alesis. Personally, I right mouse clicked the link and clicked on inspect on the popup menu, then clicked on the link in the inspection, then clicked on the arrow on the browser popup and then clicked on download insecure file but I cannot advise you, or anyone else, to download it this way for legal reasons.

@PatienceNdidiamakaOnu It really depends on what you intend to do with it and who's song it is. Except for certain types of live performance, If you don't own the copyright to the song, you should get permission to use it from the copyright owner.

@Monkey66668 Thanks, thanks for subscribing 😀👍

@AM-kh7ue Thanks 😀👍 You cannot change presets 1 to 30 but you can change them and save them in one of the user presets... Make the changes to the preset, press the menu button 11 times so the it says Write on the display, press the right arrow Button, then use the dial knob to select a user preset (the preset number is shown on the left of the display). The red record button is now flashing, so press the left footswitch to save the preset.

@mikegravenor5136 Thanks 😀👍 Changing sounds on the mc101 is a little strange... You need to change the track sound from track based to clip based, you can then choose a different sound for each clip. Then use the pads on the vortex to change the clip. Usually the 4 tracks on the mc101 are set to midi channels 1,2,3 and 4... So to change the volume of track 3 you would need to set the volume fader on the vortex to midi channel 3. If I remember correctly, the global midi channel is 0.

​@@IbandUK Thanks so much for replying. I have set up track sound to be clip based, and chosen 3 preset sound for each clip. So all "works" on the MC101 as in the video. But the vortex pads won't change the selected clip. I have the pad programmes set to 0 (pad 1) 1 (pad 2) 2 (pad 3) 3 (pad 4) as in the video. The track I used for the clips was 2. I also set the System Midi channel to 2 for tracks 2,3,4 as in the video.

got the volume sorted though! (And also only set track 2 to midi 2 so only dealing with one track)

@mikegravenor5136 If you set a clip tone for clip 1, then set a clip tone for clip 2 (both on track 2 with track 2 set to midi channel 2), then set pad 1 on the vortex to program change, channel 2, program 0, LSB 0, MSB 0 and pad 2 to program change, channel 2, program 1, LSB 0, MSB 0... Pad 1 on the vortex will select clip 1 and pad 2 will select clip 2 (on track 2), changing the tone played by the vortex to the tone of that clip.

@@IbandUK Program change! Doh. You are very patient. Thank you!

@jaymcmb No, not on Mac

@barbarianbarbara981 I have both the Ax Edge and the Vortex wireless 2 and I haven't notice any latency difference between the two of them. Both Bluetooth and wireless 2.4ghz are commonly used frequencies by a huge number of public devices, so I personally would not feel comfortable using either the Ax Edge or Vortex more than 2 metres between the transmitter and receiver. Latency will increase by about 1 or 2 milliseconds per metre between transmitter and receiver. I would say, how you chose to use them is more important. The Ax Edge is designed to be used with the built in synth and feel pretty heavy after an hour of playing. The Vortex has no built in synth so is much lighter and is designed to be connected to a computer.

@Nagadosch First, turn off your speakers/monitors and plug in some headphones, to avoid creating feedback. Then click on the monitor icon on the vocal track header (the icon to the right of the red record/arm icon). Monitoring is on when the icon is blue and you will hear an echo of your voice plus any fx added (there will be some latency, the amount will depend on your computer, audio interface and buffer size).

@sebapaun7896 P01 is the normal message displayed on the screen (it means preset 1 is currently selected). Flashing LEDs is how the vortex tells you the batteries need replacing when they do not have enough power to operate the vortex. Personally, I connect a powerbank to the USB port (using the USB cable) and switch the Vortex to USB on the power switch.

@redrain9578 Tap on a project and instead of tapping on studio, tap on the 3 dots next to the project name and tap on Open in Video Mix (on the popup menu). You can then record a video to your project song (tracks).

@Lemongriff On android phones, tap on the My Files app... it's normally in the Download folder or the Music folder on the internal storage. On iPhone, tap on the Files app, then tap on the Files icon (top left) and tap on Recent (the actual location will either be the On My IPhone folder or the Icloud Drive folder, depending on your phones setup).

@jannemec1702 Hi, thanks for your suggestion, I will have to dust off my drum kit and my drum mics but I'm sure I can sort something out 😀👍

@vieiradrumss The reason I bought the us16x08 audio interface was to record drums (5 drum mics plus 2 overheads) and it certainly fits my requirements 😀👍

@MikahJeanaEdnalino The metronome sound is unfortunately a sound that can be very easily picked up by a microphone (and in bandlab you cannot change the sound), so I recommend either turning the volume down in your headphones, use closed back over ear headphones (sound isolating monitor headphones) or not using the metronome but instead add a drum machine track.

@sintheta126 Thanks 😍👍

@shivanshyadav4068 Sort of... The dots on the automation line are recorded as part of the track clip (if they are over the clip) so, if you copy and paste a clip to another part of the track, any duplicate copy of the clip will also have the same automation dots. If you replace a clip with a new clip, the dots will also be replaced. However, if you record over a clip that has automation dots, the dots from the original clip will still be there.

@chrissycg Hi, usually audio tracks are labelled ed busy when they are being made ready to play in Cakewalk. This can happen when transient changes have been made and need to be applied but in your case, it sounds like Cakewalk is in the process of downloading the audio from the Bandlab cloud servers, so they will be labelled busy until the audio tracks have completed downloading. The number of audio tracks, the size of the audio tracks and how busy the Bandlab cloud servers are, will all affect how long it will talk for the tracks to be ready.

@IbandUK alright thank you so much for your fast answer!!

@JansenSmith-v5x I can't answer that as I am not BandLab or have any affiliation with them.

@ well thanks

@inseoulkid202 Thanks 😀👍 The Bandlab mastering works quite well for people who do not have the skills to master themselves but learning to master your own songs against a reference track (without AI assistance), I think, is a useful skill to practice for every song writer. Which is why I created this video. 😀

@IbandUK Thanks for letting me know I can't English well... If I were to summarize the content of the video, is it correct to understand that mastering is done by loading two tracks, slice and then comparing them? 3:34 What is the difference between the first and second sound sources?

To master your song, download a song that is already on album or Spotify by an artist you want your song to sound like. Load this as your reference track. Then load your song. Then compare the 2 songs. Slicing is just my suggestion and is not required. I am not allowed to show you the song I used as a reference track because of copyright law, so I used a mastered version of the same song as my reference track.

@@IbandUK thank you for the detailed information👍 I found out some good information!

@Shades289 Thanks 😀👍 I think BandLab is a good app for recording song ideas on the go and for learning basic songwriting skills, all of which can be done without subscribing. So these are the things I teach on my channel. For musicians that are serious about songwriting and music production, I personally prefer to recommend investing in a computer and setting up a home recording studio. So I also teach how to use free DAW software (like Pro Tools Intro and Cakewalk) on my channel. While I'm sure some people think a BandLab subscription is worth having, I personally just simply have no requirement for anything the subscription would provide that I cannot already get access to.

@@IbandUK Thanks

@baileypitruzzello5973 😀👍

@rkrahulbadaik3968 Usually this is because the microphone can hear the music as well as the vocals. If you plug in some headphones into your phone and listen to the music through the headphones while recording your vocals, the microphone should not be able to hear the music and so only record your voice (unless the headphones volume is set too loud).

@IbandUK Tq Sir
