Last 2 days the servers have been down. 502. 503, 504. 404, etc. Today the site is up but still experiencing errors. I can read some threads but am unable to upload files or pics to my posts. When this happens, can we have a notice or some such on the main Cakewalk site acknowledging it? If not, at least this link is helpful. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/discuss.cakewalk.com.html

Hi @mark skinner Thx for listening Yes Mark its the same singer strangely i did the logo on ChatGPT i have never used it before & just said make a hi tech logo & thats what is came up with also asked to make a cartoon photo from my dog & granddaughter & i was amazed at the results but i have never tried it with any music subvibe

I'm using standard Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones with a 1/8 inch phono jack. Sorry, this is my first post here and I don't know what I'm doing.

@Dana Moore what size screen are you using. SONAR Platinum does not have variable size graphics screen? I am not sure how they can change during a session. Only Windows, the OS, has scalable text sizes. Are you talking about Cakewalk SONAR Platinum from 9 years ago? Or the new Cakewalk Sonar?

Thanks for your help! The headphones plug directly into my laptop using a standard 1/8 inch phono jack. It might plug into the sound card but I'm not sure. I haven't added any hardware, so it's whatever the factory standard is for laptop audio jacks. Every audio source (streaming media, stored audio, system sounds) defaults to the laptop speakers when the headphones aren't plugged in, but all audio goes through the headphones if they are plugged in. But I'm finding that Cakewalk is very persnickety in that the headphones have to be plugged in when starting the app or they won't work. I already knew this, but I didn't know that if you saved a project in that scenario, it changes some setting so you can't use the headphones at all.

hey thanks barry! glad you checked it out. i def am inspired by early 70's, more for the performance aspect than the recording aspect, but there is a lot to learn there.. that was where stereo was really coming into play, and they were trying new stuff, a lot that seems to have been less used now.

"Dear United Plugins user, The party isn't over yet! The great sales are over, but we continue to celebrate our anniversary. We're thrilled to give back to our incredible community. That's why we decided to launch HyperspaceCore completely FREE!" https://unitedplugins.com/HyperspaceCore I don't know. Can we have too many reverbs??? fj

I use Sonar Platinum. My Windows graphics is set at 175% - Yesterday I was trying to create a 5-min video WMV and MP4 with one of my own audio files. The end result was that at some point the Sonar Platinum graphics setting became so high that I can barely see the text, even with my reading glasses. Something happened to the graphics settings that I can't reverse. I tried system recovery and it failed - for the first time ever. Tried clean re-install - and it doesn't respond to Windows graphics when I change the resolution there. I've been using Cakewalk since it came out in the early 90's and have now run into a situation where I'm not even sure I'm in the right product community. Should I download and install BandLab?

I Really like this one , is this the same singer you just used on one of your recent productions ? Have to mention I also like your new chain link looking "S" logo. mark

I can't see that when running the VST2 version in CbB. The drop-down stays where it should be. I tested 75 %, 100 % and 125 % scaling to see if there was any difference, but it worked as expected regardless. However, I much prefer the Library view as it allows presets to be changed without the need to press Enter each and every time a new preset should be loaded. Using the Up and Down keys are sufficient there.

Wow. Is the site up again already? That was fast! Just a tad more than 24 hours. As to the question, I can’t really hear any difference when running the EP-4 sound banks in EP-4 and EP-5 side by side. But that may be a good thing. I’m sure the enhanced physical modelling core will add to the realism when put to the test. However, I honestly prefer the main user interface in EP-4; it’s brighter, has better contrast and larger knobs compared to EP-5. Also, to have all the tweakability that’s available by default in EP4, you have to switch EP-5 to its detailed Expert mode. Sure, you can resize the GUI in EP-5 from 75 % to 200 % in 25 % increments, which is great, but to my aging, not-so-20/20 vision, it’s questionable whether the UI overall can be considered an upgrade. On the other hand, I do appreciate the new Library with its Search function and possibility to select and filter Favorites. An additional 150 factory presets won’t hurt, and the updated Effects rack is a step forward. As always, you win some and you lose some, but overall, I have no regrets.

Is anyone having an issue with the VST2 version preset dropdown of Lounge Lizard EP5 not staying put.... it disappears before you have a chance the select the preset. This is on CbB, VST2 only. VST3 is fine.

After installing build 955 on Movie studio and reinstalling my MOTU driver, I haven't had 1 glitch like I was before when recording vocals

Trying to update the download link but forum software is preventing this ATM.

One of those reggae songs that is up and lighthearted. Nice bass tone. Some of the instruments are close in tone so some more separation might have made them stand out more individually. You got the dub part down good. Good reverb/delay use. I think you did good with the song, reggae is not as easy to make as it might seem. Nice to hear some reggae on the song forum, thanks for posting it.

No, most Cakewalk programs are recording apps which require input from the musician. By "instrument", they mean a software synthesizer which will play the MIDI note data you recorded, wrote or imported.

Hi Makke, thank you for listening and your comment. I'm glad to know you found a joyful ambience and good sounds ! Appreciate it

Welcome to the forum. I don't have these headphones. What audio interface are you connecting them to? Or are you plugging them directly into the computer sound card or with a USB cord?

I'm using standard Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones.

Now I'm trialing it and trying to pretend that it sounds better than all the other ones. Side by side with the new Klevgrand one.

Let me/ us know if you have no regrets when it finally arrives :).

Hi Allan, I always really like your lyric`s and songs, great hook ``Mr together is coming apart ´´ ... I hate make comparisons but it`s got that Ray Davis (Kinks) feel to it which just super,...... proper songwriting, a proper song , properly done , cheers paul

Yep, my exact thoughts. I have tons of Rhodes and Wurlis, including Lounge Lizard EP-4, and don’t really need another one. But AAS has always been one of the really good and generous companies, giving away a free sound bank every year, so I thought I’d show them some love and pressed the button anyway. Still waiting for my license, though. However, I bought the upgrade for $41.16 at JRR Shop, and not directly from AAS for $49. My altruism has its limits.
