I am too old for modern electronic dance music (EDM) and I have no idea of the different subgenres. Sometimes I find it very monotonous but in right light conditions and localities, it could be fascinating. Since the correct tools (VSTi:s) are there in my computer, I thought I give it a try. Too old for this genre but not too old to have fun. 😃

For #1 you can use "Project" if you define a project end marker.

Hello, I have Cakewalk by bandlab. I have a subscription with Reason propellerhead as well and I would like to use it as Rewire. But the only option in my rewire panel is Waves. Is there a way to fix it and I can use Reason as rewire in Cakewalk? Thank you in advance!

If you are talking about the apostrophe, no it doesn’t... (not on my keyboard anyway). On my keyboard, shift apostrophe generates a double quote.

Doesn't that require the shift key?

Are you saying lighter in size as for the download or as in the plug in using your CPU. To me the Essential Edition is only missing the Compressor. I actually think it has a few things Cakewalk version doesn’t have. You would pick the Library that has the Amps and effects you actually need and use. I have always used Fender amps so my choice was easy. The full version has way more amps and effects than I would use. So it’s up to you as to what kind of sound you are after and read the info about the different libraries. Or buy a couple of them. I haven’t had a chance but I need to find the one that includes the compressor pedal. If it still exists.

Another quick question, at what point with using Kontakt inside SONAR 8.5 are you getting the crash? Is it when inserting Kontakt itself, when loading a library, or when using a library? When you said you moved libraries, this came to mind. From NI's Kontakt web site, If Kontakt only crashes in your DAW, click on the NI logo of Kontakt's window in your DAW and in standalone. If the versions are not the same, this is probably the source of the crash. We have a video to help you fixing it: VST Plug-in Administration on Windows Computers I just watched that video, and while it has voice descriptions, he is also bouncing around various apps quickly with visual pointers (so not sure if will be useful). I was also going to suggest contacting NI directly, but their customer support page goes into a do loop that only exposes the Kontakt User forum rather than the ability to contact support directly ☹️

Thanks for the response. Your system specs should be fine with what you are trying to do. Are you comfortable with using the Command Prompt? If so, the issue could also be with Windows and running System File Check (SFC) may find something (it may take a few minutes to check all of the system files on your computer). I copied/pasted text from this post below for your convience. **** Copied text below **** Application Error 0xc0000005 (Access Violation) error is usually caused by your computer not being able to correctly process the files and settings required to run a particular program or installation. Despite the error showing when you try and use particular pieces of software, it has many different causes including faulty RAM problems, errors with the files of your PC and issues with the settings of your PC. In this case, we suggest that you check for corrupted Windows system files. System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Windows that scans for corrupted Windows system files. If it finds a problem, it will try to replace the problematic system files from a cached version that’s on your PC. To run System File Checker (SFC), follow these steps: In the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt, then select Run as administrator > Yes. At the command prompt, type sfc /scannow (note the space between sfc and the /). Scanning will take a few minutes. If SFC finds corrupted files and replaces them, restart your PC and check if the issue persists.

Too bad seems the OP didn’t read our answers and is still using the wrong driver. For the sake of others who may read this. Driver facts: Audio interfaces and Daw’s communicate and work together and latency is only synced when using ASIO drivers. Most all real audio interfaces have a manufacturer supplied driver that needs to be downloaded and installed from the manufacturer website. Audio interfaces that don’t have a driver should be avoided. Asio4all is not an option and same with Realtek ASIO. They are known to cause issues with Cakewalk. If you don’t own an interface then use Windows WASAPI drivers. Shared is just that, you can run other audio apps at the same time and they share the driver. Exclusive is just that. The app will have exclusive use and other apps won’t have sound. But Exclusive mode has lower latency than shared. But still not as low as ASIO. Behringer web site can be misleading as it might direct you to the Asio4all driver. but keep looking as they do have a good ASIO driver for most of their interfaces and the X series mixers. It because the company is very Mac oriented and Macs have their own drivers.

Hey! I know this is an old thread, but the link isn't working any more... Does someone have an alternate link or something like that?

Many Cakewalk users have bound the "~" key to Deselect All. It's handy because it's one of the few unassigned keystrokes that doesn't require a modifier. Figuring out why Cakewalk's DAW's have me wearing a shiny spot on my tilde key is on my to do list. There's something about the way it releases (or doesn't release) selected items that isn't such an issue in other DAW's I've used. Not that I think it would ever change, I just want to understand it. This is the very issue that led many of us to request this feature. I like to work with a measure or two at the start of my projects, and I also sometimes "park" things past the end of the song. I'm having a hard time parsing this. When you say "bounce the Master bus to a Master Bounce track," how do you bounce a bus to a track? Since I want to use a bus fader to control my monitor volume without having it affect exporting, I route my Master bus to a dedicated Export bus that has no effects and has its fader always set to zero. I hide it, because it's never going to be touched. Then I route my Export bus to a Volume bus that lets me easily adjust my monitor volume without it affecting anything else. I also keep Mastering the Mix LEVELS or MeldaProduction MLoudnessAnalyzer on the volume bus pre fader. Then at export time, I just export from my Export bus and that's it. My reason for doing all this is that when I first started using Cakewalk, I ran into trouble with exporting because I didn't understand that "entire mix" came off of the hardware outs. I thought it came from the Master bus. I was adjusting volume with the hardware outs and my exports were coming out at low levels. My interface also has a dedicated output for headphones, so I was getting the output from that as well. It was all a big mess, so I stopped using "Entire Mix" and figured out the above routing. There may be a simpler way to accomplish it, but I know that if I take my export from my Export bus, I will be getting what I'm hearing without it being affected by something downstream.

Absolootlee! They even added felt presets.

WHEN THEY BUILT CATHEDRALS It doesn't happen very often when the world is in awe of a rebuilt cathedral. But that's what happened this year with the completion of the restoring of Notre Dame cathedral. Inspiring the world with it's beauty and craftsmanship. So happens I wrote a piece in 2007 about the awesomeness of cathedrals and even posted it here. Inspired by the restoration I felt an urge to restore my original track, with better instruments and better remix. The original was made on my Yamaha (or Roland) keyboard workstation. This remake is all Sample Tank 4 for the first 4 minutes. Then the 2007 track is mixed in with ST4 to the end. This work is in passacaliga form (a repeating bass line with variations on top). Terry Fry wrote the repeating bass line and asked me to write music on top. Be a little careful as it has a wide dynamic range and deep sub in some sections. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome. Have a great Christmas, and happy New Year!

Get well soon and healing thoughts like Craig said☮️

Thank you everyone. I will take your valuable comments into consideration. Yes, I think you would get more details by asking Overloud customer center, and from the comments you've made, it does seem that it has fewer functions than the edition included in cakewalk. It's true that Overloud is currently on a sale for less than half price, so I might as well just go for the premium full version of THU. However, the file size will be heavier, and if Essential is more carefully selected and lighter in size, it does have its merits, so it's a tough decision. I would appreciate it if you could provide any other valuable opinions.

Thanks for posting Invention No 8! I like it!

Thank you!

I created a custom keybinding for this. (apostrophe)

Remember, starting your project at measure 1 can cause issues if synths (or even plugins) need to initialise before hitting that first note.

Indeed. Hard to beat Orange Tree for going way beyond call of duty for customers.

Best wishes and healing thoughts, Wook!

"Go to End" just got me. It's now Go to the time of the last event bound to Ctrl+END keys.

Because I come from the world of recording to a machine I simply carried on using the same technique. I set my input gains below the threshold where they can clip. If I see Red I back it off. End of story. My recorded audio seems to always be right were I want it between-4 and -10 db. Once recorded I will use the Gain controller of each track if needed to get it set to my targets which are different for each type of instrument and vocals. If needed , I even out differences with clip gain and automation. Might use a few compressors with a light touch. Then I have a bus for each section and those get limiters set for target peak levels. The song almost can mix its self at this point. It’s a matter of over time you get to know what those target levels are for each section- Bass- Drums-Keys- Horns- Guitar- Vocals. Sometimes a Pad/ String/ Fat Poly Synth bus. Reverb and Delay. Master has only a few Analyzers and a Peak limiter set for -1 .0 db.. Results will be in the ballpark of-13 LUFS. If the Master bus Limiter is working too much I back off on the Gain.
