  2. No, not really. I am writing and recording primarily Christian Rock with our band. I play mostly modern Worship every Sunday; the real modern stuff. It’s not what is on my radio or iPhone. I’m an old Rock an Blues guy at heart and that’s what I listen to, most of the time. My roots show up still in the music that I write and the way I perform. Many here have made the comment to me, when hearing my work...”very Petty-like on the vocals.

  3. heya! I've been playing around with this daw for a while now and one thing that i do think could be improved is the step sequencer. I think there should be a way to either directly drag in audio samples onto the sequencer or to have some sort of sampler put individual samples into. I also think that you should be able to mix these samples individually when you put them into the step sequencer. what do you guys think? let me know in the comments!

  4. Anybody remember Eva Cassidy? I was just watching this video by her. Hadn't thought of her in a long while. Released her first album at 29 and died of cancer at 33. She would have been one of the great ones in my opinion had she lived. Hard to believe she's been gone more than 30 years already.

  8. I enjoyed this performance more than half the stuff people contribute on this website. Live performance has an edge that the bed room recording world can't match. She has a wonderful voice, hope she continues with music. Are you playing the piano?

  9. I really thought STTNG was heads and shoulders above the first series in terms of acting and story line. In fact, I think all ST series after TNG was very good as far as acting went. Deep Space Nine is under-rated in my opinion. I had forgot about Wings!! Will have to check that one out too!

  14. Dimension Pro sample conversion happened a few years before Rapture Pro/Session was released. The original release of Dimension Pro shipped samples as wavs. The later installers shipped with flac files. It was possible to get both wav and flac samples if a full v1.5 installer was run on top of a previous wav based install. The original Rapture does not support flac. Rapture Pro/Session do. The migration of legacy data during Rapture Pro/Session installation does nothing to legacy sample files and folders. The migration copies the Dimension Pro and Rapture program files and folders into the Rapture Pro program folder.

  17. Thanks for the post Will, have to agree with ZincT. She will always be one of the best here in the UK, most probably because the great Terry Wogan played her stuff posthumously on his radio show which had a large audience and she became famous ... her death was a shock to me when I found out as I also had been listening to her but never realized her fate ...so very sad I would imagine you had a tear while watching her on the tube, she was one of the all 'round greats !!

  18. For me I still use a Tascam midi studio (rebuilt twice in its long history) for the odd client that needs mix/mastering for double speed cassette, but have to say it still can produce a beautiful finish/analog result. It cost me around £2000.00 quid when I bought it new, but I've kept it working through the years due to the quality. Regarding belt replacement I have rebuilt several open reel & cassette recorders and always found Ebay to be a good source, sometimes the best way is bulk buying various sizes although specialist belts/parts can be rare and expensive . I hope you get this this up and working and I do get the calculator/maths story but it will be rewarding in the end'

  19. In your original screenshots, you set the interface to "WASAPI Shared". That gives worse latency possible, even on lower settings. Some interfaces have good latency in "WASAPI Exclusive" and/or "WDM/KS". The only problem is that you can not get Windows audio (Youtube, etc.) when the DAW is running. Many interfaces have best latency in ASIO mode. For example latest Realtek chips (I do not know if your notebook has such). Note that I had to install Realtek original driver first and DELL specific on top of it to make my XPS work correctly while showing Realtek ASIO panel (somehow DELL has forgotten to include required module). These chips in ASIO mode beat in latency many low end interfaces. I have not measured reported 6ms RTL, but the latency is definitively lower then with VS-20. Note that ASIO not always gives lowest latency. F.e. latest Behringer interfaces do better with WDM/KS. My old M-Audio Firewire has approximately the same latency with both, but "WASAPI Exclusive" is worse. At the same time a cheap tablet rocks with "WASAPI", can not work with "WDM/KS" and hardly usable with ASIO4ALL. So the best mode is particular interface dependent. Periodically I get huge MIDI (!) latency from different devices (e-drums, DP). Interesting that I had no such problem with MPK Mini. Rebooting the system was helping. The reason is still unknown (that problem is rarely reported, but people hit it from time to time). PS. What can not influence the latency is the File System buffer size. Under some condition it can produce cracks/pops, but it is technically completely unrelated to the latency.

  20. Nice to see you here, Mr. Pete Brown, may the sun never set on the Microsoft/Cakewalk friendship. So the FLS checker VST itself has a similar limitation? Hmm. It counts how many slots you are using and subtracts that number from 128. If the result is <0 it returns "+-0". I'll guess the person who coded it didn't know how to ask the OS how many slots were available so they did the best they could (it's somewhere in <iostream>?). Or they just didn't want to bother. Nice that it handles the >128 condition gracefully. And, good sir, you: 1. Have access to 18, 312 plug-ins on your DAW computer. 2. Which can load 4000 of them and still run Visual Studio. I'd say it's good ta be da king!

  23. The CbB installer is deleted after it is run by BandLab Assistant. BandLab Assistant downloads the installer to %appdata%\bandlab-assistant\Downloads Starting with 2017-11 if running the previous release, BA downloads an update installer instead of the full CbB installer. This is a much smaller file and may only be applied to the previous release. BA downloads the full installer only on the initial install and if the installed version is not the previous release. So far the update installer does not wait for user input and runs very fast making it difficult to get a copy. The full installer waits for user input so it is much easier to get a copy. The documentation is only available on their website . The pdf is now available under the Cakewalk by BandLab tab in the menu above. The direct link is https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf Edit: updated to reflect addition of the pdf a couple of months ago

  26. Hey there! In advance of me releasing my first commercial sound library I give you a chance to check out some of the patches as a freebie. 10 hand selected patches from the 200 of the full soundset. I spent quite a bit of time torturing a poor piano that sits alone in a lobby. These 10 patches contain 19 original soundsources so everything is unique. The full library will be released, well, not going to say a date but probably within a month. Enjoy! Man Makes Noise - The Free Lobby Piano Download

  27. No idea, but I had trouble once with ASIO buffers that required the EXACT one or it wouldn't work. Only way to find it was try each one separately: 100. 105, 140, 147, 150, etc. I also had issues with 64 bit Double Precision Engine.

  28. I installed ASIO4ALL on my laptop for use with my Realtek audio chip. It gives me acceptable latency with virtual instruments using any DAW I wish to use. https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/installing-and-using-asio4all-for-windows/ My laptop is a low end unit not intended for serious audio use, but I find it a handy to have scratchpad for playing virtual instruments when I am traveling. Note: using the Realtek audio chip gives acceptable audio playback over headphones or external speakers, but I would never intend to record external instruments with this. I would say that use would definitely require an external audio interface.

  29. The recommendation came from BandLab QA. I just echoed his sentiments. I am not saying zips cannot get corrupted. Any file can get corrupted. But I do not recall a thread on the old Cakewalk forum regarding zipped projects being corrupted. I doubt many bother to zip projects though. Wav files don't compress much so, if I were to use zip I would probably turn off compression. My guess is the incidence of corruption with bundles is pretty low too but when it happens the project is, for the most part, unrecoverable. Bundles are convenient and will likely always be part of the program, if only for backward compatibility. The fact that bundling cannot store audiosnap data was used to repair projects that were blown out by an audiosnap bug (I believe this bug has been fixed). With all that, packaging the files that make up a project is just one more thing to go wrong. For long term storage, the best solution is rendering all tracks to wavs. Having a project fully rendered removes the need for a specific DAW and any of the plug-ins used in the project. The wav format will likely be around a very long time.

  32. If you own Melodyne like me and you installed it before installing CbB, maybe you find problem with activating license. This is what is helped me: Uninstall Melodyne and install the new version of melodyne and then is no problem to activate the license. Maybe this little thing help you.

  35. I compose whatever comes out of me which could be anything sometimes. Tends to be meandering unless I stop myself and make it into a structure people might recognize. I'm sure I'm the odd man out here. No problem. I'm accustomed to that role. I don't listen to much music. Do you want music going in or coming out? If you want music coming out you need to stop putting so much music in unless your intention is to play the stuff you hear. That's already been played. Why not play something different?

  38. It really comes down to the goal. If you like the challenge of trying to troubleshoot this kind of thing, have at it. It's interesting learning about a new system and trying to overcome issues. But if the goal is to have a working system where you can just get on with it, and not have to second guess if it's your migration that's causing issues or not, you really need to weigh up how much time you're willing to spend on this. In the time it's taken to get to this point, a clean Win10 and a complete software reinstall could have been done, with far less chance of some other hidden thing you might have missed popping up later to cause you headaches. I'm all for fixing problems and understanding my system completely, but there's just a point where it's just better to cut your losses and get on with making music.

But then I couldn't take advantage of the full resolution uploading it straight to the forum, so what I did was to upload it to https://imggmi.com and paste the link here under the "insert image from URL" option.
