Okay, so now that I have it (sort of) working, at least with the right version of Tonalic and being able to drag tonalics into an audio track, how to I get the sound from the preview to work? I can see the little meter on a clip I’m trying to audition running, but I don’t hear anything, without actually dragging a clip into my track. I’ve poked around a bit, but nothing I’ve attempted (e.g. turning monitoring on on the track, using it with and without the Tonalic ARA extension at the track level) has made a difference.
This is with the latest version of Tonalic. No option anywhere to sync with chord track similar to melodyne. Even with Tonalic Studio tier
It is, but your screenshot shows that you’re using Tonalic as an instrument track. You need to use it with an audio track and use the project view’s right zone Tonalic tab to see the chords following the chord track. The ARA integration is the key.
What I haven’t figured out how to do in my tests today (and had to move back on to working in other areas on my current project) is to get the previews sounding from the right zone. I can only get the sound from Tonalic if I drag the clips onto an audio track.
Nice addition, but I wish they made it one instrument of our choosing. I’m not the greatest guitar player around but I can usually get the job done with a couple of takes. Having a drummer on tap, on the other hand, would be most welcome!
Oh! Interesting ok. That is definitely a new thing. Thanks!
That kinda sucks because I have songs I am going to need to rework to make that…work.
I think the preview audio in the side panel is busted. I see it trying to play and the tonalic preview meter is showing its playing, but nothing…or a broken audio stream…version is making it out.
Uwe Bossert and I are getting along great now.
We were constantly fighting in the studio
Yeah, same here. I just found a Cubase-specific “getting started” tutorial on Tonalic:
It suggests there is nothing special to set up with the sound, and it just goes to “the master output” (by which I’d guess he means the Stereo Out), but that isn’t working for me, and I am seeing the preview feedback showing it should be playing in the Tonalic sidebar.
I was wondering if maybe it related to being able to preview from the MediaBay, which is something I really never use. However, I tried going to MediaBay and previewing a random loop there, and it worked just fine.
I am now wondering if there may be some issue with, or special setup need when, using it with Control Panel (which I do use). But I didn’t see anything in my Audio Connections that looked like it would relate.
It is definitely routed to the main stereo out. If you crank the tonalic preview output fader on a drum part, you see it spike and even clip the output, but it’s just a bunch of transient noise.
I am going to try different sample rates just to find a workaround.
I was interested and playing around with it a few minutes ago. They lost me at subscription. Nope.
Add-ons I can get behind, subscriptions are a non-starter here.
That’s an interesting thought. I am working at 96 kHz, which is what I always use on my song productions. (I’ll sometimes use 48 kHz for instrumental cues, but I don’t do those very often.) I’ve also only been experimenting within my current project. I might also note that I haven’t rebooted my system since the Cubase and Tonalic updates. (There was also a Dorico update today, and I upgraded to WaveLab Pro 13 this morning, as well.) I may try a reboot when I break for dinner.
