Hello all,
I’ve been using Cantabile for a few weeks now, I have the basics of this sorted.
Cantabile and the VST’s I have, really came alive when I switched from the awful
and noisey on board audio to a half decent soundcard with 3 line outs. I have been using VST’s for just as long and still learning everything and getting my self aquainted with a bigger mixer.
I found Cantabile by searching for vst hosts, then the penny dropped, when I remembered someone else uses this with there live gigs/rigs, (Derek) so it has to be good. Here I am I think saying good is quite under rated.
Cantabile is running on a PC, built soley for running my VST’s, via a Roland
UM-2 USB midi. Windows was stripped of its bloat using vlite and has been quite stable, except for a few crashes caused by vst’s, cantible however has been rock solid.
Most of the music I have made is soundtrack orientated or, sounds like its should be (sometimes I don’t intend for anything to sound like sound track, it just turns out that way). Sometimes I’ll try dable in some ambient recordings. I’m not a live performer,
soley studio only.
One feature which really impressed me the most is the auto recording of midi
data, with this I can catch noodles. Not long ago I had my eye on Triton extreme LE, It was suggested to me some of the Roland synths would suit me better which have a roll back feature which captuered the last 45 seconds of what was played. After this, I was eyeing off the fantom G7 (I also wanted something a bit newer as well). With this auto record feature, This obsoetes the G7 feature, as it is limitless.
I really wish I had’ve thought of Cantabile, or knew of it before, there were so many lost ideas in the past, :’-(, not so for future noodling/improvs.
Cheers
