I'm having trouble using a CC to adjust the mixer. I am using my jitter plugin to send a cc and it is learnt fine, but the sliders do not move

edit:
I think some mixer channels work only with midi in comp and not vst's or other sequencers

Can anyone confirm?
For me the "sequencer" audio tracks are only control-able from a hardware device and not a second sequencer or a plug-in.
From plug-ins, the meter on teh map moves and I can learn but it will not affect those mixer sliders.

I know, but a comp that can be used for various mutli in/out routing with send level automation. splitting/mergin signals...freque3ncy split...etc..

cheers

That would be awesome actually! If you can get hold of some heavy duty algorithms for frequency splitting then Energy XT2 suddenly jumps into serious experimental mastering territory (well, we would need some very good audio crossfading and such as well but that can be edited elsewhere)!

A matrix comp with these things would be awesome:

- Mid/Side encoding/decoding (a knob with mid/side "tilt" or separate knobs for mid gain and side gain, that are automatable would be awesome)
- Crossover filters for custom multiband effects (all "spots" should be automatable of course!)
- the routing matrix (with automatable switches/levels)

This would of course be awesome!

Frequency splitter would be great!!

It's especially useful for distortions...

Trust me.. it's awesome for everything. Try splitting a signal into 3 or 4 bands and then add a chorus/flanger/phaser with different settings to each. Then try a delay, a reverb, distortion, bitcrushing, compression, etc etc.

Is it now possible to split audio inputs/outputs of components in the modular view? I really need need need this feature ASAP, pretty please!

It's awesome for complex mastering routing and now that there is the VSTi version of XT2 it will be very much needed!

Cheers!

I think that's been in there for a while. Just right-click a comp and check the output comps you want to route to.

But perhaps I misunderstand?

Yes you misunderstand me.. I want to change a VST plugin that has 1 stereo input and 1 stereo output to 2 mono inputs and 2 mono outputs, aka splitting the stereo i/o into mono pairs, and vice versa. This can not, AFAIK be done in the current beta.

+1 to the last two things bmanic has said

I was thinking about splitting frequencies and applying effects after playing with crystal for the first time in ages the other day (it has that band delay thing in it).

tobybear did a 4-band freq thing years ago, but i cant remember how finished it was

[sweet_trip]

Hi, sorry to interrupt the frequency debate. it's all good stuff!! but, Jorgen, maybe it's just me, but can revise the way you record automation in XT2? please check my post on page 3 of this thread. maybe there is a better way to implement this????

Did anyone managed to make the vsti version work in Reaper ?
Unfortunately, I tried twice, it crashed twice.

No crashes here but ...

(edited twice after being stupid twice)

in REAPER after closing 'float FX' (EXT2 in floating window) the EXT2 VSTi should return to its docked location.
However, EXT2's GUI disappears and I'm left with 127 CC sliders. Clicking the UI button in REAPER's FX window doesn't help. Only after removing and reloading the VSTi the EXT2 window reappears.
Could be a REAPER problem though I never saw this happen before with other VST(i)'s.

Oh OK cool. Perhaps a mono to stereo comp & a stereo to mono comp?

In terms of freq splitting do we really need a ext comp to do that? I have an energyxt.dll (VST) preset with 3 eqs and a mixer comp to accomplish this - seems to work OK, and I can overlap the bands as I like. (we need the mixer comp in xt2 though )

I think the way stereo to mono to stereo split worked in the original Energy XT 1 is superb and would love that feature in XT2. Simple, effective and awesome.

Oh yes, I use it all the time too - for mid/side or dual mono processing (=processing L/R of a stereo signal separately with mono only plugins). If it's not there in XT2 (I'm still using XT1 only ) then please jorgen reintroduce it!

recording automation from a numeric field only records on one of clips if several clips are lined up next to each other.
you can see a bigger pic here http://www.sweet-trip.net/automation.gif
if i wanted to record automation across all four clips in this pic, i would have to glue them together first...

Sweet trip, I don't understand how you recorded vst parameter changes. I thought that XT is only recording CC's now.
PS I am unable to learn to the map any parameters from Atlatis.

"I think the way stereo to mono to stereo split worked in the original Energy XT 1 is superb"

Ditto, it was the best possible solution.

As far as mid-side stuff goes, Voxengo already has a freeware mid-side encoder/decoder.

[MadPsyance]

Anyone notice if you de-select the parameter destination for automation envelopes the parameter remains automated? Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah it was there in Xt1 i dont see why its not there anymore...
very useful for chaining and vocoder type of effects where left signal modulates the right signal...

I had the same thing, recording from the trackheaders' little numberbox. It only recorded for one part, and when re-recording for the second bit (place playback-cursor at beginning of first unrecorded part, record again), the two would clash unless they were an entire bar apart. If they werent, the first bit would sound very muffled. Very strange stuff.
