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/

Wrong thread! 😆

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!"

Hmm, guess the OP figured it out, or it wasn't that important.

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.

By default when you create a new project, it will use the global audio folder until you save the project. Then it will give you the options to setup a project folder and copy the audio there.

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

I remember when these were all introduced in the $400-500 range. My how times have changed for the better.

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:

FWIW I've been having the same symptoms with headphone channels cutting out on my 2i4 and 6i6. For me though, it turned out to be the 3.5mm to 1/4" headphone adapter. It seems that the cheap metal adapters from China I'd been using get loose inside really easily. I've got several of them, so it obscured the problem as a thought they couldn't ALL be bad... but they were. Not only were the inside dimensions slightly off, the actual plug itself wasn't fitting snugly. Changing the adapter to a plastic housed one from a different supplier sorted it for me.

Okay, interest piqued, although I normally stay away from MIDI or audio loops as I prefer to bake my own. Question is, and I think I already know the answer, these are just .MID files, right? I don't have, and do not want any of the EZ Drummer options as my weapons of choice are Battery and my Alesis DM5. So I should be able to drag the .MID files supplied into my projects and go from there. I fancy doing some prog metal/electronic/ambient fusion stuff cheers andy

That's great news, thanks TS.

The option is no longer in CbB. While I would not exploit the following... In SONAR Platinum when Show Start Screen was unchecked in preferences. ShowStartPage was set to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum adding a REG_DWORD ShowStartPage set to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core still works like Platinum. The option was moved, see

Yes. Yes!

Damn

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

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

Good morning lads, Finally, they installed Win10 on my work PC and can access all these wonderful sites. What did I miss?

Finale' allows you the option of inserting notes and moving the remainder to the right, without affecting the notes prior, like a word processor. So while you're looking at the notes on the staff, with gaps and whatever, you have control over the product so that it will look like how you want it. You can also change the value of the notes or chords, without affecting contiguous notes and chords. And you are able to tie notes into the next measure without the software doing weird things to the notes involved. When handled in this manner, it's up to the composer to make sure that everything adds up correctly, which is not an issue for a musician with some formal training.

The fig mints can only be imagined.

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