12:28:50 From Glenn Workman : glenn@freqsound.com 12:33:29 From Glenn Workman : You can type questions here in the chat while Matt is demoing things. I’ll answer/help if I can. 12:35:41 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Hi! If I downloaded Performer Lite on Windows while connected to the internet, is it not necessary to download the UVI workstation and Motu Instruments? Thanks! 12:37:31 From Glenn Workman : Jeana: I believe that is part of the Windows install, unlike the Mac version. I’m pretty Mac oriented myself, but I believe I had confirmed that with Jim Cooper from MOTU in an earlier webinar. Does it appear if you try to insert a Virtual Instrument? 12:39:43 From Glenn Workman : Jeana: Just checked the MOTU download page, and it confirms that only if you’re not connected to the internet on the computer you’re installing things on do you need to download the separate installer. 12:40:16 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : I believe so! I see options for BassLIne, Model12, POlySynth, etc... Is that the right? 12:40:21 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Ok great! Thank you! 12:42:03 From Glenn Workman : Jeana: You should see just what Matt was just showing. UVI Workstation below the MOTU Virtual Instruments listed. 12:46:09 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Gotcha. Will this webinar recording and the previous ones be available somewhere for viewing? 12:46:33 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Jeana: yes, we are working on posting them on our site and youtube channel. 12:46:57 From rich switzer : did he just say apple key?? showing your age!! 12:47:23 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Jeana: they will be posted here: 12:47:25 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : https://motu.com/en-us/performer-lite-webinars/ 12:47:30 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Thank you :) 12:47:38 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : And at youtube.com/motuTV 12:48:07 From Glenn Workman : Rich:) - Apple found out years ago that they needed to call it the Command key since not all keyboards had an apple logo on that key. 12:49:02 From Yuri : In the list of MOTU instruments that Matt showed couple minutes ago I noticed a few instruments that I don't have included in my PL, something named with "Mach". Is this a new version of PL or what? 12:49:15 From Steve Sklar : I think the technical name for that key is “squiggle.” 12:49:36 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Yuri: Matt has many 3rd-party VI’s installed on his system. These are other products that you can use with Performer Lite. 12:49:55 From Glenn Workman : Yuri: Matt’s system has lots of 3rd party plug-ins from other developers. Mach5 also happens to be a separate MOTU plug-in they sell. 12:50:00 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Any standard audio plug-in or virtual instrument that you install on your Mac will appear in Performer Lite. 12:50:06 From Yuri : I see. Thanks Jim 12:50:39 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : That said, Performer Lite comes with over 100 instruments that you can access through the UVI Workstation instrument. 12:51:00 From Pierre : TKs so much Matt and Jim and to all team, very helpful for me. 12:51:11 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : There are also a handful of synth plug-ins included, that model old analog synths and digital synths like the Yamaha DX7. 12:51:27 From Glenn Workman : Yuri: The ones in the MOTU folder included with Performer Lite (about 5 or 6) and the UVI Workstation are the ones that come with Performer Lite. 12:51:58 From Yuri : I see 12:52:49 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Would you recommend doing the recordings and basic edits (EQ, compression, etc..) in Audacity first (or similar program) and importing audio files, or do you start right in Performer Lite? 12:53:02 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Yuri: you can make a whole lotta music with the included virtual instruments in Performer Lite. That said, there are ton of free and very inexpensive plug-ins out there that you can add to your system to broaden your horizons and spark your creativity. 12:53:31 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : how do you made fade out. or make loud in certain place> 12:53:41 From Glenn Workman : Jeanna: Unless there is some special use case or feature that exists in Audacity that you like or need, I think its easier to do things directly in one program. 12:53:52 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Jeana: you can polish them directly in Performer Lite. The EQ, compression etc. is top notch. And you have all the basic tools you need. 12:54:21 From Glenn Workman : Adati: In the edit window you can fade in/out by grabbing the tiny square handle in the corner of any waveform. 12:54:46 From Glenn Workman : Adati: If you need one section louder or softer than another there are a couple approaches. 12:55:35 From Glenn Workman : Adati: You can split the audio into sections and then apply bite gain to those, or use automation to raise/lower volume for sections. 13:00:56 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : what is 1,11,111,1V on EQ? 13:02:44 From Steve Sklar : Aditi, where are those numbers from? 13:03:02 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : Equalizer 13:03:32 From Steve Sklar : Where in EQ? 13:04:03 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : left side for each button section 13:07:35 From Yuri : Yep, there are roman numerals from I to IV 13:08:34 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : what is the use of it 13:08:34 From Steve Sklar : Ah…Aditi, those are “Q” width presets for those eq bands. add a boost or cut, try selecting them, and you’ll see the results. 13:08:55 From Glenn Workman : Adati: They are different types of notch/filter behaviors for that particular EQ element. 13:09:52 From Steve Sklar : For the lowest and highest bands, the numerals indicate the amount of boost/cut per octave. 13:10:28 From Steve Sklar : Heh, wha Jim said. 13:11:50 From Glenn Workman : Adati: Page 30/31 of the Plug-in manual (available in the Help menu) describe the different filter Types that the I-IV filters are modeled after. 13:12:43 From Yuri : I have a Nektar Panorama P6 midi keyboard with some extended features, like bunch of sliders, undo button, transport controls etc. Is there a way to make everything works with PL? 13:12:59 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : how Matt holding the volume for fading? only clicking? 13:13:02 From Glenn Workman : Crossfades like he’s showing are great if you need to make a band demo from snippets of tunes. 13:13:26 From Glenn Workman : Adati. He’s just dragging that little square handle to create the fades. 13:13:59 From Glenn Workman : Yuri: Yes - in most cases all features from similar controllers are mappable to functions in DP. 13:15:36 From Glenn Workman : Yuri: I did a short video on mapping controller to Commands in DP, but the behavior is identical in PL. The video folder is located here, just select Training Videos and the CustomKeyBindings video: https://www.freqsound.com/motuuserfiles/ 13:16:06 From Yuri : Wow, thanks a lot!) 13:16:37 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : thanks 13:16:54 From Glenn Workman : Yuri: If that doesn’t explain it enough, feel free to contact me after the webinar and I can help. glenn@freqsound.com 13:17:15 From Yuri : Thank you sir 13:21:27 From Steve Sklar : Can you adjust track pitch in smaller degrees than a half-step? 13:23:11 From Glenn Workman : Steve: From the manual: Transposing audio by interval If you’ve selected soundbites, and you’d like to include them in the transpose operation, check the Transpose audio check box (as shown in Figure 36-5 on page 354) and type in a number of cents, if desired, for fine-tuning the audio transpo- sition. (There are 100 cents per half-tone.) To choose whether the soundbite is transposed using Performer Lite’s formant-corrected pitch-shifting or conventional pitch-shifting, set the soundbite’s transpose attribute beforehand as explained in “Dragging and dropping soundbites” on page 33. 13:23:28 From Glenn Workman : Steve: Thats at least one way. 13:23:51 From Steve Sklar : Thanks, Glenn. 13:26:49 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Steve, you can also “zoom” the pitch ruler and then hold the command key to drag the pitch vertically without snapping to half steps. 13:27:12 From Steve Sklar : Thanks, Jim. 13:27:23 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : The pitch bars drag freely. If you zoom in far enough, you have a lot of control of the pitch that is less than a half-step. 13:30:09 From Glenn Workman : There are 100 cents to a half-step or semitone. 13:30:49 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : How do we zoom so that the one track is in that large view? (making it larger on the screen not the zooming in on actual soundwaves) 13:31:35 From Glenn Workman : Jeanna: You can drag the horizontal line that divides tracks up or down. You can resize any track that way. 13:31:46 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : where from we get the recording of today's session? 13:31:47 From Glenn Workman : That’s in the Edit Window. 13:32:04 From Glenn Workman : Aditi: They aren’t posted immediately. 13:32:25 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Got it, thank you! 13:32:46 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Aditi: they will be posted here eventually:
https://motu.com/en-us/performer-lite-webinars/ 13:32:47 From Glenn Workman : Aditi: They eventually make there way to motuTV on YouTube and are posted on the webinar page at motu.com 13:33:13 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : And on our Youtube channel: youtube.com/motuTV 13:33:34 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : thanks 13:37:55 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Jeana: are you seeing this? When you resize the tracks, if you hold down opt/alt key while dragging, they all resize to the same size. 13:38:32 From Jeana.Clocksin@rcsdk12.org : Yes Jim thanks so much! 13:38:49 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Are you on a Mac or PC? 13:39:35 From Steve Sklar : mac here 13:40:09 From Glenn Workman : Buck: If you don’t have a good local dealer for MOTU stuff, feel free to contact me. glenn@freqsound.com 13:42:15 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : are busses? 13:42:32 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : I meant what are busses? 13:42:39 From Glenn Workman : Aditi: A buss is a place to route a signal. 13:42:48 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Aditi: a bus is a channel that allows you to route audio from a source to a destination. 13:42:49 From Glenn Workman : An aux, a send, etc. 13:42:59 From Jim Cooper (MOTU) : Like from one track to another. 13:43:24 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : thanks 13:45:27 From Aditi Sadia Rahman : thank you very much. again you have session on next week?
