Little things never drive us OCD patients nuts - until we sees 'em! Then they seize us! My only goal in posting about them is to find out if they are intended or not. Most that aren't are usually too small to worry about, I 'spose.

I'm having an issue with this release. I am not 100% sure it's a bug but I've never seen this behavior before. While composing and sequencing, one of the MIDI tracks, #14 out of 14 tracks, suddenly gets hidden. I've never made a shortcut key to hide a track, if that's even possible. Is any one else seeing a track suddenly get hidden in track view? I haven't yet become aware of the steps that have to happen before this occurs, however I'm paying attention to it. Thanks, Jerry www.jerrygerber.com

Yes, you're right about that. I was re-opening existing projects that have the button unlit and assumed they had always been that way becasue the lanes were never shown. I may never have noticed they're lit until close out completely and come back later. I actually don't pay that much attention or care that much about the state of the button. If i need to show lanes I click it. 🤪 That said, consistency is always helpful.

They got me too, but on the MEssentialsFXBundle upgrade! I bought it the other day as it was so inexpensive to upgrade for the plugins it added. It added MTurboReverbLE, MTurboDelay and MSpectralDynamicsLE among others. These ones in particular get great reviews on here, so I'd been planning on buying them at some point, but there are a few others that are new to me in the bundle as well that I'm looking forward to checking out.

No problem and I think there would've been quite a few people using it for those two in particular otherwise!

Simple but it does pull one in. Dark & mysterious and has the PF welcome to the machine vibe. Cool stuff, Wookie!

Wow! When it rains it pours in your neck of the woods. And your poor sis. Wishing a quick recovery! Music sounds great, Freddy! Just keep them coming when you can. Get well and stay well! That's an order!

Thanks much for listening Freddy!

Very nice, Mark. I didn't realize TTS had a brush kit. You are referring to Cakewalk TTS?

I didn't notice. I thought it was an enjoyable performance.

For systems that are fan cooled, that's a fairly common cause of failures, by causing the fan to fail or inlet grilles to clog up, decreasing cooling to the point where heat begins to damage things. I've seen it in many many computer systems (especially laptops). But most audio equipment is not fan cooled (because that's usually noisy enough to interfere with it's intended usage), so it's not a common cause of such equipment. In old stuff, especially a couple of decades or more, and especially that is often left on (even if not active) for long periods, it's more common for elecrolytic capacitors to degrade or fail outright. In stuff that gets thermally cycled frequently with a wide difference between cool and hot states, fractures in the solder (or even PCB traces) for PCB-heatsink-mounted parts or transformers directly mounted on PCBs (vs wired in from off-board) aren't uncommon, and tend to cause problems in the cold state that don't happen in the hot state.

Twenty years of cigarette smoke and high dust environment.

I represent that remark.

The Lone Star Ticks sounds like a band from Texas! 😆

But who finished first? 🤔😁

Just think of what they could have created if they took psychedelics too! Bummer! 😁

This! I have always had the 2 monitors so my default was the Multi Dock floated to second monitor. But sometimes when working with Melodyne I wanted the Multi Dock view of Melodyne editor open below the track I was working on. That’s why I loved it when they introduced Workspaces. I could now set that up and save it. Over time I have abandoned using the second monitor for the Multi Dock in favour of using the one screen and toggling using D to open the multi dock 3/4 screen. I need my second monitor more for doing other things. The Browser and Inspector are mostly hidden. You get very used to using the shortcuts I - D and B. I know a lot of people don’t use Workspaces but I sure did. I said did because I don’t have them anymore due to using Platinum. And I guess they are also missing from the free version. Im back to putting up with the stupid mindless screen-sets. I hate them.

Just run MOHO 14 (whichever version) to auto-update. Quite a few new features, with the biggest one being able to export into gITF format for direct import into 3D applications. Full feature list is in the manual here. Original thread on MOHO 14 is here if interested. Excellent free tutorial series for MOHO 14 is on YouTube here if you have MOHO 14 and didn't realize it was out there.

That one is already on my list to buy. I really liked the demo. These guys make some very nice sounding plugins.

Cakewalk has developed a special system which allows to learn way more controls. (Still) a bit buggy, but works. And for the case you manage more then 15-20 assignments, it make sense to have a editing tools for assignments. And they exists. And if you want see all that on a tablet, with names and synced values, there are programs which allow you to do so. Yes, that system is not "Remote control". It is called "ACT". In other DAWs that is usually the same, "simple" assignment and "complicated" (surface) control. It can happened FL Studio has a bit more features in the "simple" approach then Sonar in its "Remote control". These DAWs are different from many perspectives.

Thanks! One note at a time, then just string them all together

😀Well, there's a couple of places that were a little off. Not perfect, but close... Thanks for the kind words!

Holy crap... I saw this article "New Jersey man believed to be 1st known death from red meat allergy linked to tick bites" (of course, the click-bait doesn't say what state, so I had to click it). The guy didn't realize he had alpha-gal, and basically went into anaphylaxis from it! What's worse... they say "Researchers said that in the eastern U.S., what are sometimes referred to as "chiggers" are often larvae of lone star ticks." LOL, I got bit by about 400 chiggers about 10 years ago now unwittingly tearing up things all around their nest (mentioned that above), but those were definitely chiggers. I never even considered that baby ticks could be confused with them... but then just learned that tick larvae do not attach when they bite, so that is definitely something to keep in mind if you are in areas where lone star ticks live (red counties are worst than yellow, but they are pretty much all over the east half of the US now ).

FWIW, full screen CV is how I have it too. Then hit D to switch back to TV view which should have the Inspector. You can have Inspector in the CV but it's rather redundant except for the MIDI strip. Floating is nice if you have another screen to put it on so TV and CV are open full screen together.

Thanks, I thought it must have been something like that. I've never used or understood floating and docking. I hate to be dense but I'm still not getting it. If I right click console down in the lower left docking area it gives me the choice of undocking the console view. How do I set it up without floating, that seems too messy to me? I've always just gone back and forth between track and console with shortcuts.
