DAW with wait note recording

[sl23]

Not wishing to make a big thing about this but for the attention of plJones..

Definition of slander:
Noun
A false or unsupported, malicious statement (spoken, not written), especially one which is injurious to a person's reputation; the making of such a statement.

The statement I made was not false, unsupported, malicious or spoken and therefore cannot be slanderous.

With the greatest respect plJones, get your facts straight before making unfounded accusations. That's not the first time you've abused me without provocation!

@Sl23: Your statement was indeed false. Pljones is right.

I suggested the punch method because of the precision that you requested. Since it does use a pre-roll approach, it doesn't exactly meet your requirements to start the recording when you start playing.

But as a workaround, this method could start the recording at the exact point of your choice, but obviously that would be like a count in. However you could make that count in as long as you wished by inserting a big section of empty bars into the project prior to the punch in marker.

I've been using sequencers and DAWs for over twenty years and have half a dozen installed right now, but I don't recall ever seeing the feature that you described.

Hope you find what you are looking for!

Jo, so are you saying you did not refuse to accept my request? I have the email to prove it. This indeed makes my statement true. It is in no way an attempt at trying to ruin your reputation. Or be malicious in any way. It was nothing more than a statement that you refused a request, really, what is wrong with that?

also you have refused others requests in the past, which is completely understandable, you are a lone developer. We all know your time is limited. But my comment was not slanderous because it was a true statement. You refused my request, even when I said I offered to pay you privately for the effort. That is after all, your prerogative is it not? So why is such a big deal being made about it?

I'm not trying to be an asshole here, just defending my position with honour, since I have done nothing wrong.

Apologies if you think I have. My opinion is that I just stated the truth without any ill will.

@zzz00m
Thank you very much for your advice.

Originally I saw wait note on Roland workstations. I tried other methods but found this easiest to use. As stated above FL Studio has wait note. So I may try that as a secondary DAW option.

Jo, so are you saying you did not refuse to accept my request? I have the email to prove it.

That was about something very different: You proposed to pay me a small amount to implement that specific feature you want, and i refused that proposal.

Hear hear...

sl23... it seems that you are a liar... telling only a part of the truth is lying too...

No offense, just kidding...

[sl23]

About a year or so ago I asked about it but was a bit naive about pricing, thinking it would be in relation to the cost of MuLab.
But around a month or so ago I repeated the request asking for an estimate and you still refused my request.

Trancit, you don't know the full story!!! As I've just explained. You only hear what you want to hear, like most on this forum. No offence meant, it's simply an observation, that's all. You have listened to Jo as you trust his judgement over mine without any real evidence or knowledge of any communication we've had outside this forum. You are offensive and abusive calling me a liar when you don't know the facts. Yet I will be the one in the wrong, again!!!

I repeat, I have done nothing wrong here. I have not abused, slandered or been nasty to anyone on here. I'm the one receiving the abuse from those with no knowledge of the truth.

Are you doing this deliberately Jo? I'm in no way trying to be disrespectful to you or anyone else. All I have stated is that you refused a request, that's not a big deal is it? If you think it is, please explain why and if I think you are right I will hand on heart say so and apologise. Last thing I want is to cause you grief, so please be fair and explain why you think I am wrong.

Maybe you missed the bit in my email requesting a quote? Perhaps you just thought I was offering the same as before? To be clear it was a genuine offer for you to quote me for adding a request for which in my opinion you quite bluntly refused.

Look I'm sorry for any trouble, I'm not attempting to start an argument, just defending my position, that's all I am doing. I feel unfairly treated and so am trying justify why everyone thinks I'm the one in the wrong when no-one actually knows what was said in our emails.

It doesn't matter any more as I'll just use the Reaper script if it works, or maybe FL studio to accomplish my task. I was willing to pay you a good amount for your time for adding this function, but it's ok if you're not interested. Sorry for bothering you.

Thing is, there are an increasing amount of people who have a hold, small or large, over others in this world. As soon as they dislike a particular persons opinion, they abuse that hold and withdraw the thing the underdog is reliant on. I'll explain further via a story.

My last employment was with a Powder Coating firm, small business, man and wife.
They were nice enough at first, until a few weeks went by and the true characters came out.
Jill, the wife was quite simply a bully, talking down to me, making me feel stupid for learning a process I'd never done. Well, the previous job to that, there was a woman who'd randomly stated that it takes up to 6 months to learn a new job fully. So a few weeks is nothing in relation.

When I tried to approach Bob the husband, he simply said well, if you can't get on you should find another job! Not sort the issue out but basically, f**k off! Excuse the language, it's to illustrate a point. He made no attempt to resolve the situation and as I'd guessed, I eventually was sacked!

Any one that knows me knows I am placid, understanding and soft by nature. But I am repeatedly getting bullied because of it and I am getting utterly sick of people treating me like shit, just because my nature is to be soft. I choose to be that way, I don't want to be a c**t, but I'm consistently being tormented and pushed.

I feel this situation is no different. Why? Because Jo has that small hold, where if I don't 'behave' the way he wishes, I will again be banned. Even though I have done nothing wrong this time. All I have done is stated that he refused a request and I've been called a liar, accused of embellishing the truth and fear being banned again for something as trivial as this. So I have to be careful what I say in order not to offend. Even these very words which are nothing more than an explanation of my experiences will probably be taken wrongly as it seems that's the only way people seem to perceive things!

I am NOT being offensive! I am NOT being disrespectful! I am NOT trying to cause trouble!
I am NOT lying or embellishing the truth!

Yet I am the one being had a go at for stating something utterly trivial!!! Perceived as offensive that was nothing more than the plain simple truth.

Sorry for the long winded post. Sorry for this disagreeance being aired here. But I need to get my side across. I wasn't listened to before and it caused enragement due to personal issues at that time. That won't happen again!

[Trancit]

Trancit, you don't know the full story!!! As I've just explained. ...

No need to legitimate yourself... as I said, I was just kidding...

It´s completely ok to push the FR´s which are important to you... and don´t worry what other´s say as long as you can confirm for yourself, that after rethinking you´ve done nothing wrong...

Often it´s easy to misunderstand someone pure from reading and it´s easy to take something in the wrong way...
I personally didn´t understood something agressive or offensive from what I´ve seen...

We are all human and if I am convinced from something I tend to sound agressive easily too...

[sl23]

Ok my apologies if I took you too seriously!
Thank you for your understanding.

I'm not trying to push it through. I did try but after I asked for an estimate and Jo, perhaps too busy at this time, declined the opportunity, I have started to look for other ways to do what I need, not want, but need, in order to pursue computer music production. However shit I am at it lol

Jo, really, I'm not having a dig at you, I'm not trying to deface your reputation in any way and I'm not angry with you. I just don't get what made this happen. I did get angry with plJones as he made unfounded and unwarranted accusations without knowing the full story. Simply put, he poked his nose in making judgements against me in ignorance. Not the first time he has done this to me. Easily done on forums. I have done so too. I learnt not to jump in, but instead listen.

Anyway, please can we move on. It was a misunderstanding and was unintentional on my part if I caused you any grief. If you knew the trauma I've been through, you'd understand that I despise wrongful accusations! But I am man enough to apologise despite doing nothing wrong. Don't take this as a dig. There are no underlying connotations here. It's plain txt see it as it's written. Nothing is implied. I don't do implications, or try not to. I try to be honest and upfront, something that's seriously lacking in this world!

So for my part of not doing anything wrong, I apologise. Can we all kiss and make up now and stop arguing and throwing accusations about please? Pretty please?

-> it's possible to do what you asked for in Cubase - "step input" -> https://steinberg.help/cubase_pro_artis ... put_t.html

Thank you for the info, but Cubase isn't my cup of tea I'm afraid.

Besides, I read that Cubase is soon to be discontinued? Is that true? Or maybe it was one of their products? Not too sure now.

I think I'll try reaper as it's the budget option. I only really need it for the wait note recording. Although the VST bridging may well be enticing me too. Who knows, if I like reaper I may go into that full on and just use MuX VST with it.

Well that's if I haven't been totally eradicated from the MuTools forums and blacklisted from his emails by now!

Sorry Jo! don't take it to heart. There's no maliciousness involved

[sl23]

You're talking about just instead of a counting in, it starts recording as soon as you input something. Yeah I dunno why every DAW doesn't have this but Reaper does have a script on they're Reapack that allows you to do it for midi.
https://imgur.com/BM34mmt

Would you mind shedding light on how to obtain this script please.
I downloaded the Reapack32 and 64. Do I need both?
Found the window eventually that displays all script.
In the Action Window, I typed the search item from your gif, but no results appeared.
Where do I get this lua script from to be able to perform Wait Note? Did you write it yourself?
Any chance of sharing? I know nothing of scripting

Thanks for your help

[sl23]

It's ok, I managed to get my account activated on Reaper Forums so I got help there. All sorted now.
Thanks SoundPorn for the gif, couldn't have done it without that

Logic will play, but only record MIDI when it’s input. As far as I know, there’s no “transport Wait until input” function. Alternatively, you could creat a midi shortcut and play that note when you want to start recording.
