Great video Danny. Loved the "You know how I type so I could make this last four hours" line. I could listen for four hours no problem if you felt like doing that.

Danny just as in your writing you come through as one of the nicest guys on the forum in that video. Great video.  

Loved it thanks as always Danny

Guitardood: thanks and you're welcome. You got Chuck to thank for it actually. I had the Sonar file all done and just never got around to shooting the video part. Chuck posted a cool PRV drum video and it reminded me that I wanted to share this. I didn't know much about that feature either to be honest, so it was a rude awakening in a good way for me as well. I always use my Drumagog samples for replacement (I have a huge HUGE library including my own drum samples that I've done on every drum kit that's ever been in my studio) but it's nice to be able to use our faithful modules if we need them and figured quite a few might have missed this gem of a feature. :) Sorry I didn't post it sooner so it could have bailed you out in your project. But, at least ya know about it now. :)

Mike V: thanks man, much appreciated. Yeah I like to just be as human as possible. Hopefully it gets the point across...but you know how the forum can be, they like to jump on people that might not be so perfect and proper lol! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope the new place is treating you well....or are you still waiting to move in? Can't remember where we left off with that. At any rate, glad to see you're still around from time to time and if you ARE in the new place, I hope it's been all that you expected it to be. :)

Chuck: Thanks....it was all your fault. Hahaha! You reminded me that I had this in the works with your awesome drum video. Man, that velocity trick....I never knew that! My main engineer at my other studio was up at my place tonight and I said "dude, did you know you could do this?" and he's like....."woah, what the heck....I never knew that?!" He's the true geeky/techy one of our bunch. He knows Sonar soo well, it scares me. I just hack my way through it and treat it like a big tape recorder. LOL! But even he was surprised by that...so on behalf of both of us, thanks for teaching us that trick. :) Keep up the good work man.

Karl: Thanks bro....I think I'd be a little more intimidating with your accent though. Hahahaha! Nothing beats an English accent for teaching audio I tell ya! Instead ya got guys like me saying "you do diss, den you do dat...and wait, lemme getta glassa wooder ya baystid...I'll be right back." Hahahaha! I actually did that once in a video lesson...the student was in stitches. :)
 
Ok, I'll make the next one 4 hours and cover some deep stuff. Wait...I'm talking to you, I couldn't keep your attention in a Sonar video...you know so much more than I do. LOL! I do good with mixing and teaching about and creating sounds etc. That's really my strong point anyway. You gotta hear me when I let myself go in one of those vids. You think my accent is funny now, when I'm not trying to be careful, you'll get something more like "how yooze guys doooin." LOL! :) My 6th grade teacher actually made my mom send me to speech class and called one day.

"Mrs. Danzi, he talks like a lil gangster...but he's soo funny with it, we're choking holding back the laughter. The other day he jumped up and said "teacha, I gotta go to da baffroom" so I said "Danny, when you can spell bathroom correctly, I'll let you go" and he says "Be Ay eF eF Room, Baffroom...now teacha, I really gotta gotoda baffroom." Thus started my speech classes to rid me of gangster tawk talk. Hahaha! (I did know how to spell it actually, I just wanted to make her laugh. She loved me so she let me go. lol)
 
John: Thanks a lot! Glad I come through like that, makes me feel good brother. Glad you enjoyed it.
 
StinGA: You're welcome, thanks for the kind words.

You know guys in all the videos from forum members which have been excellent BTW, one thing stands out is you all have great sound. I wonder why? 

The over all productions are as good as any commercial ones but better than most in the sound quality. Also you all add something that is more valuable than just good production values you add your own personalties to the videos.

That can't be duplicated or bought at any price.

I got a kick out Charlie's as a darn good video. Danny you have that same touch. Karl got it all started. I don't think anyone can dispute he is one of a kind. And his videos are great too.  

This forum has been blessed by some wonderful members that those that no longer are here because of the on going tension over the years have truly missed out on a very cool development. 

I thought it was neat simply to post a picture now and then. You bunch have given us so much more.

I can only thank you all for the thoughtfulness, the time and the effort you have all put into making this place far more than it has ever has been before.     

i agree with john on his above post,your vast knowlege of sonar shows in your posts and in your videos.
after i watched this video i opened up sonar and started using some of these ideas right away.

i also think your honesty comes forth in your vid's as being a true user/instructor and not someone who is trying to sell me a product.
that right there is the difference between a pro and a novice.

i look at karls videos right now and look at how he has jumped from typical solid you tube videos to full blown professional quality.
im not sure how he has done that yet.
its almost as if he swallowed the help files and now spits them out on call.

i think our videos share a certain quality about them,im not sure i can put my finder on it yet but i think its just the users view.
although my glass is only half full compared to your danny.
you never sease to amaze me at just how much you know about not only just sonar but digital audio engineering itself.

Thank You Danny.
Informative and easy to watch.
You bring value to the world.
appreciated

Nice one, Danny. That's definitely a quicker way to do it than I've learned elsewhere (bounce to MIDI or whatever it's called). For those unwanted ghost notes you could probably change the track's edit filter to Transients then lower the Threshold fader in the Audio Snap Palette before hitting Copy. That way you'd be able to see the extra transients and adjust the Threshold accordingly. If it doesn't get rid of them all or it removes transients you actually want you can enable/disable the transients manually. You can fix any timing mistakes before copying too. Not sure if all that would work using this method but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Thanks for the time saver. The way this process was explained in the Manual and Groove3 requires a ton of extra steps so this is very cool. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for video.
Can't you get rid of the grey ghost notes (with zero velocity) by setting the audio snap treshold?

(ooow Beepster was first.........)

Let me add that there's is often crosstalk in the recorded drum tracks.
This leads to unwanted midi notes when copying to midi with audiosnap.
So I get rid of that by setting the audiosnap treshold or by gating the track and exporting the audio to another track on which I use audiosnap.
