I bought a £6000 home cinema system. However I'm really disappointed with it. Whenever I try to watch any war films it turns itself off and the screen goes black ..... .... turns out it's a conscientious projector.

It depends on the theme. I guess you are asking about Mercury. In that case: Green is 32bit VST Brown in 64bit VST Blue is 64bit VST3 and DX

I could tell you Craig. But as the reason has nothing to do with politics, doing so might get this fred locked ?

As I have said elsewhere, lovely mate. I would add a gnat's penis (pretty small amount) of reverb on the first solo sound if I was hyper critical.

Really no use for this type of guessing and conspiracy theory's.

As was explained many months ago in the old forums Bandlab did not purchase Cakewalk Inc. only the intellectual property rights to the software products, so there was no debt, that is still Gibson's problem TTBOMFK ?

Welcome! As mentioned, this topic has been discussed ad absurdum in the old forum. If you can work out how Google can give away their Chrome browser for free, Google Drive for free, Google Voice for free, GMail for free, all they give away for free, and yet become one of the richest corporations in the world, then you'll have solved the puzzle.

No politics!

I think ''How Now Fat Cart-Like Wench, Whither Goest Thou Inst Drawers So Fearfully Overpopulated'' may have been one of the more outre' numbers. That or ''Turn of the Century Grape-shot Paranoia''

Mike told me they're working on (or have completed?) a conversion/migration tool to bridge BandLab project files to Cakewalk project files so that they can help people evolve to higher level creation. Got the sense that BandLab will continue to acquire/rescue/resuscitate worthy brands that fit with the vision of accessible available music creation for the masses. And, not sure if it's mine to share the specifics, or if they've already shared this elsewhere, but I now have zero concern that should Command Center ever go down (which is not their intent), that we will have no problem with authorization.

Isn't it what ProChannel is all about? I chose Sonar for this functionality. Obviously CLA plugins sounds somewhat different, but I prefer the workflow of the ProChannel. It's so genius! BTW, did anyone notice that Chris is talking to me?

Hi guys , I just got one of my guitars back from a friend of mine . He held on to it for me for 25 years . What we have here is my 62 Fender double bound MIJ Esquire in Candy Apple Red . Pardon my fuzzy pics ..I'm not set up with the lighting over here I bought this guitar brand new in 1986 when I worked at Mannys Music on W 48 th . The first thing I did was to pull the neck off my Esquire and store it n a safe place . Since I wanted Jumbo frets , I walked over to Rudys Music and bought one of the necks he was using for the Pensa Suhr guitars of that era . BTW I waited 20 years to put the Esquie neck on one of my current Teles. I may show that one someday Last but not least , at the time I didn't have a Tele with a Humbucker in the neck position so I put one in a Gibby HB in back then ... This guitar is a keeper so I'm not at all worried about the rise and fall of guitar prices . all the best Kenny

Spent some time with Mike Balzarini (great guy!) at the Cakewalk section of the BandLab booth (Noel was out walking around at the time). Walked away from this experience feeling really confident that Cakewalk is here to stay long-term. And while the Cakewalk section was moderate, it was given a key location, right out front at the BandLab booth. And it was staffed! The overall BandLab booth was first rate. Large. High profile location. And with quite an impressive array of components. Best Cakewalk presence since...well...pre-Roland Era!

I just used one of the pizmidi utilities and found it threw an error message saying it had an installation issue (see image). There is no installation, just make a directory and put them all there. Turns out an option needs to be modified now that was not needed before. I don't know if this is new or old, I don't use these very much. Anyway the fix is simple. In the vst folder there is a file 'pizmidi.ini'. Make the following change (in red):

I believe deselecting "Show Update Notifications" in preferences is what you want. Also signing out of BA or disconnecting from the internet should suppress the messages regardless of the preference setting.

It sounds to me like a huge deal. If you want us to look at this you need to give a little bit of info about your system. OS, Audio interface, Memory amount, CPU and GPU. The more information the better. What steps have you tried so far. Is there a time when this crashing wasn't happening?

There was a 64bit DX version bundled with SONAR. The last version to include it was 8.5. Consider running an advanced install of a version of SONAR to get the plug-in back.

Wait you have 5 thumbs Glad Cakewalk name is back out in the limelight.

That's good! They couldn't do that at NAMM due to the more open broad nature of the booth. I still give it a 5 thumbs up!

They speak in tongues.

It's "In the Hair Tonight?"

An older boy made me do it, sir.

As if you haven't already heard it before! Spanking the Monkey A collab between myself, a guy in England and a singer in Belgium. The guy in England (Jon) loved to come up with names and force me to write lyrics to them...

When you reload the project none of the bucket assignments are restored. Everything is unassigned, with one track assigned to bucket 1. I think that's what you get. Works fine while the project is open, but can't seem to reconnect the tracks to the buckets on a load.

Fixed. New version of sampler is on CWITEC site.

Nice little melodies, experimental and a bit weird. I like it!

That solved it Karhide, thanks. Yeah for some reason it was set to "Custom" where usually it's not. Changing that little drop down up in the right corner that's easy to miss to "All" brought back all the other horizontal faders too.

Why?

Yes , I'm old enough to remember the movie Billy Jack . In addition to that half my current guitar arsenal is also old enough to have been played while I was watching the movie Billy Jack ... Sheesh talking about the age thing ...my 2 cars when you add up how old they are ...they are old enough to collect social security ..it's the truth ... I love messing with people at the supermarket check out , when the clerk tells my my groceries ring up at $18. 83 I quickly proclaim " Ahhh yes the year I was born " " I remember it well " more often than not it gets a giggle ... all the best , Kenny

As my mom would say...if it had been a snake it would have bit me.

Oh, lol Name a clip....

Here ya go! how does bandlab make money? http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3732900

New wing photo

This guy playing "Crossroads" on a Cigar Box body guitar. Sounded good!

No updates yet on Rapture Pro, etc. With the new wing at the convention center completed last year it's much better. Quieter space for pro audio booths who choose to be away from the guitar/drum high-volume main area. BandLab chose the main floor, def the right move for them. Bigger presence. Some incredible performances, got to briefly meet Santana, Nancy Wilson, Rick Nielsen. And, 134,999 other people swarming around. Stark contrast: spending the day at NAMM and leaving in the evening to discover police in riot gear arresting protesters. The dichotomy of musical artists and industry folks walking down closed major streets going back to our hotels while hotel workers were protesting for a pay increase, more affordable healthcare, the implementation of panic buttons, increases to pensions and stronger protections for immigrants. Heartbreaking to see, and for all of us to be a part of, such imbalance in the world. 21 people arrested including an Anaheim city councilman. Wild. Check out these guitars (zoom in on 'em).

Yeah I noticed that, this is on the Waves website... I think the Studio One addition in the notes is recent as I don`t remember seeing it on release day.

Yes, their location is right where people walk in to the room. But there are dozens of other entry options to that main level gigantic room. But they had excellent visibility. BandLab isn't a household brand name, yet, and I'm sure their presence there served them.

Just wanted to wish the whole Cakewalk and Bandlab group well wishes for a great NAMM show. Go break a leg?

That's because Mercury is made of a large outer shell which executes the individual "bundles". Sometimes they add on a new shell and so sometimes you'll only install the new shell and it's new bundles. IIRC. But, I've been wrong before.

I've removed the time filters from the legacy forums. Good suggestion @scook -this needed to be done or else poking around the legacy forums would become pretty tedious after 30 days

Change the filter at the bottom of the page next to "Show All Posts" from "30 Days" to "from the beginning" Everything is still there. I have asked @Jesse Jost if it is possible to change the default to show all posts. Using Google with "site:forum.cakewalk.com" as part of the search criteria is still the best way to get info from the old forum. To browse the forum, set this filter to "from the beginning."

I "think" I figured it out thanks to all of your comments. Sometimes I have to left click on the clip first and then right click and then the "Rename Clip" box/option will show. I am going to mark this thread as solved for now. Thank you to all who replied.

Thanks Jesse!

bumped to 40

Would it be possible to have more threads on a page at the songs forum? At the moment there are 19 which means a thread will drop to page 2 pretty quickly, and hardly anyone goes to page 2. I think the old forum had nearly 50 threads on a page.

On the unread content list, it would be nice to have a "mark topic as read" link/button on each post. The "mark site read" is useful, but there's always a danger I've missed something in between clicking the link & clicking the confirmation box, and also the list of unread post can be quite long and it's easy to lose your place. It would be nice to just mark off the obvious ones I want to skip one by one - especially if they're short posts and I've effectively read it on that list.

Make a STUDIO forum with sub forums for: - Instruments & Effects - Hardware - Software - Deals (Coffee House seems highly odd place for such a forum)

The one thing that most software companies take for granted is the fact that their users are computer literate...I see evidence to the contrary constantly It would be nice to see an Essentials section with Computer Essentials and DAW Essentials. I've always wondered why no one considered it before. It would go a long way towards heading off user frustration and negativity. For the someone new to computers and DAWs in general it would be priceless! Bill
