imho it is not worth of attention unless you have free voucher to use it. But because there are different tastes especially about guitar amp simulation (if you looked ever at threads here I would recommend you to grab demo (14 days full functional) and test it by yourself. And please pay attention about I/O input volume from your pickups and input type as it significantly affects a tone. Unfortunately PA guitar sims don't have input level meters for some weird reason.

When Play update was listed this morning Play was not free, now it appears that it is! http://www.soundsonline.com/Support?section=updates&article= Use the EastWest Installation Center to acquire.

Just in case you missed it (or have disabled toast notifications), a hotfix for 2019.03 is now available. The latest version number is 25.03.0.20. Release info here.

Not a problem & not pissed!

but why pirate hardware these days when we have behringer?

The scale of the meters can be set individually (or quick grouped) in the Track View and Console View. As far as I can tell the only meters that are global are the ones in the Track Inspector.

yes. never stop buying.

There's also an associated prog set for EzKeys: https://www.toontrack.com/product/seventies-prog-ezkeys-midi/ This actually impressed me more than the drums.

On 12/25/2018 at 6:48 PM, Toddskins said: Sibelius and others (not Finale'), force all the notes in a measure to add up to one (1). Therefore, when you import the song you played as a MIDI file into these programs, it will force all your notes to be strange values because the measure must add up to one. My reply was more like a stand-up comedy routine, but represents of the frustration I feel when trying to use most notation software. It's notation software. When I start getting into editing with it, which is something that I will usually need to do if I've imported a MIDI file, things go sideways very quickly. I do get that for heavy duty editing, it's not the right tool for the job, but except for Finale, every one that I've tried has resulted in the explosion of tiny notes when I try to make changes. Yes, I'm doing something wrong. But why is it so easy to get into trouble in all these other programs and not in this one? The OP doesn't even know what the term "musical score" means. I'm for getting them the program that has fewer pitfalls for the clueless noob. https://www.finalemusic.com/products/notepad/

I was pretty well involved in that 2016 thread and I tend to still agree with a lot that we all wrote on there. Some things definitely still need to be addressed. That said, there's a few things that have been said here that should be clarified. You don't need to open the AudioSnap pallette to quantize. Just choose Audio Transients from the Edit Filter on however many tracks you have selected, then press Q to bring up the Quantize dialogue. (The caveat here is that this is a really bad idea to just let it detect and go - as mentioned, you either need to do manual cleanups or do transient detection prep like I mentioned in the old thread). You can reset all meters globally, from the Options > Meter Options > Reset All Meters entry, and you can assign a keybinding to that if you like. CbB has had quite a lot of work done with plugin stability, including sandboxing. If those crashes are still happening now, definitely shoot a MiniDump off to the Bakers so they can sort it out, if you haven't done so already. It's frustrating and annoying when you get a crash but if you don't tell anyone about it, it won't get fixed. I reckon this is probably the most stable it's ever been, honestly (the odd bug notwithstanding, and usually there's a quick hotfix to patch it, rather than waiting for some long release cycle). I still stand by the stretch method for audio quantizing I mentioned in the other thread, but aside from that, the other points brought up here are definitely still valid!

Whenever I see that, I can't help thinking it stands for "CAKEWALK AS F**K!!" Maybe I'll offer that If the devs ever implement a record mode where we can switch off automatic comping, I'll get CWAF tattooed across the knuckles of my trackball hand.

There are also Add Ons for GMII https://www.audio-assault.com/addons.php but it`s smart to wait for discounts.

It's kinda like my cousin Earl sittin on top of the cab in my pickup truck with his pants down telling me "NOW YOU HAVE A MOON ROOF!"

Not according to the mods (sometimes) which I suspect might be the point that my fellow countryman is trying to make. Either that or the Mrs has been on his case all day and he's just looking for an argument he has a chance of winning.😉

There is no longer a SOFTWARE Forum, in which updates used to be posted. THEREFORE, updates are posted here...and they technically ARE a deal since they are free! Just because it's not a "Deal" for some, doesn't mean it's not a deal! This forum is where I post all product updates that I become aware of.

depends on the paint program.... fwiw, paint,net - a freebie updated version of paint -handles fonts well, as of course do gimp and photoshop

I also got this sometime back (for $29), but it never has made it to the tracking stage.....especially with TH3, BIAS FX, Amplitube 4 etc....

Fixed Price

Agreed! And they are used as nothing more than midi info... in the programs they are wrote for! Something on the page stating that they are only used for such and such program would help new potential customers for sure.

https://www.pluginboutique.com/deals/show?sale_id=4958 The 3 Orchestral Companions we like so much are $4.99 each just like at JRR, plus a couple of synths named Twist and Wobble, and then a virtual ARP 2600 for $19.99 and a fancy vocoder for $19.99 We already discussed the Orchestral Companions, which are a great deal. Easily worth three times the price.😊 The only one you might not find useful is the Strings one, just because the strings instrument that comes with Cakewalk is already so good.

I think they finally realized that supporting multiple versions of their engine is becoming cost prohibitive...and yay! Dan

For me, it always creates a directory for the project:

The Punch Instant Drum Punch! Available for the next 48hrs for only $0.00!!! I Want The Punch! Offer Valid until March 27th 8pm CST

Agreed. I love (still) the AR Plates. They just sound so good on anything. Vocals.....angelic! Best I have.

I've been wondering the same.... I do have EZ Keys, but not EZ Drummer. If anyone can confirm this I'll consider buying them.

Yes. Yes!

It was looking like a really interesting place! Then I saw the accordian... 😀

Damn

Um, Richard Gere doesn't like hamsters? (Man, that was an easy test! )

I was a little concerned/confused over their changing the way they handle the user accounts, but once I reregistered using the exact same email address then all of my previously purchased products were in the account.

< AnalogConsole > is a dark greyblue theme inspired by famous hardware mixing consoles and outboard processors. It's designed to have a familiar appearance to those, who work or used to work with hardware gear in the studio. I think it also has a more attractive look to use it with touchscreen monitors. I wanted to achieve a clear arrangement and separation of functions as well as a moderate 3D-appearance.

Thanks for the great work - I can't wait to try it.

A new genre called: Drum & Seizure

I've used Cakewalk since it was called Twelve Tone Systems. After trying Studio One post-Gibson collapse, I find it hard to justify going back. Sure, there are things I miss, but stability is important. I didn't have a lot of crashes with Platinum, but that was mostly because I had learned over the years what not to do. I treated my DAW like a live explosive, and this relationship worked well for years. A lot of the issues that Cakewalk still has really boil down to the way the audio engine interfaces with Windows devices. It is very picky about how a device presents itself, and sometimes counter-intuitive settings will make it work great, until you get the white screen of death and lose something you were working on. CTRL-S is your best friend. Dan

While I agree, most of us don't have ready access to a "real" drummer (I tried keeping an unused couch near a fridge of cheap beer to see if I could trap one though...😀). I definitely will use any robot willing to make the initial drum track so I can get on with things, however the plan is always to eventually replace the track with a real drummer later. If you've heard my work-in-progress song Berry Jam, you can tell I tried to play the drums myself (but had only been playing for two weeks, they were V-Drums and it showed!). Not sure if that helped the creative process or distracts. The drums still make me cringe! LOL. All of that said, I can't see myself paying that much to have REAL drums and not find someone to play them. Who needs 999 bpm anyway?

I hear the bus driver likes to toot his own horn.

The fig mints can only be imagined.

Jane sure does and so do all the animals in the jungle Kenny

What the bolder holder of "that" older folder told her is getting colder...

Mariano, since so many people like v. 1.1, maybe you could leave it available, or even give your new one a different name? Really looking forward to seeing the new changes! You're a bright new star in the Cakewalk theme world.

Yes! I CAN actually help with this! First off, you'll need to get yourself some of this (if you don't have some already): Next, make a small strip about 1.5" by 3" then roll it up (with the grit on the outside dummy!😀) so that you end up with something about the thickness of a pencil by 1.5" long. You can use this to gently clean out any type of audio jack. I would periodically use this on all my gear that had a female TS or TRS jack. Follow this with a quick blast of canned air and you should be good to go!

No, not at all. The ladies are most welcome, however there are some rules. Please note these are all numbered "1". 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really. 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, sexual fantasies , or monster trucks. 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round is a shape. 1. Thank you for reading the rules; Yes, we know, we have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.
