Well after working through some of my computer issues, I thought I would have some fun and put a short demo/preview together. This is a little rough and I want to do a more in depth playthrough/review in the near future but thought this would get the ball rolling. You can check it out here: Looking forward to being able to make lots more music and inspiration with SampleTank 4. Thanks everyone and have a most Joyous Easter (Resurrection) weekend!

What ! , I think I have seen that car in my neighborhood . Some guy on Craig's List is trying to sell it ... Kenny

Happy happy Easter. Great time spent with families and friends and even more happy deals after

I have been really struggling as some of other users of late to pinpoint sources of latency and conflicts , especially when USB devices are involved. I currently am using a PreSonus Studio 6|8 USB 2 Audio Interface and just having some really annoying crackles when working with the latest update of SampleTank 4.04. I was wanting to make sure that the PreSonus was on a dedicated USB channel and found this utility that provided a clear and straightforward view of how things were connected. You can see that there is a lot going on but I was able to get the Studio 6|8 on its own by sort of trial and error connecting and checking the tree: You can learn more about this utility here: https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html#download I now actually believe it is a SampleTank 4.04 issue as I tried the project and loaded it down with a lot of heavy memory VSTs (Trillian, Kontakt (running NOIRE), Addictive Drums, etc) Hope it helps?

Greetings, peeps. The missus and I are in Sweden at her parents' place, celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary (yesterday). There was lots of beer, becan, and snaps ? Leaving for home in a few hours.

I wonder how many people think she's holding a tennis racket...

That's the problem using a Mac in the same room as your Windows machines. When I use my Macbook I go into another room. ?

Kenny PS , sorry about the neckline .....

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun ValhallaDelay is our take on classic and modern delay and echo units. Tape Echo, BBD, old-school digital, pitch shifting - we've got you covered. ValhallaDelay offers the classics, and expands them into new dimensions, with the unique Ratio and Quad delay styles, the Ghost mode (which adds frequency shifting), and a powerful diffusion section that can create anything from smeared echoes to ethereal reverbs. ValhallaDelay has seven different delay Modes: Tape: Modeled after vintage tape echoes, with all the features and quirks that were loved in the old hardware. HiFi: A higher fidelity Tape Echo, where the ability to precisely sculpt the sound is in your hands. . BBD: A dark, low fidelity bucket brigade delay model. Digital: A cleaner, higher bandwidth delay, with the ability to dial in digital dirt. Ghost: A Valhalla DSP original! Combines the tape model from the HiFi mode with frequency shifting and a unique diffusion algorithm, for sounds that will split your skull in two. Pitch: A digital delay with added pitch shifting. Perfect for micro-shifting vocals, adding harmonies to synths, creating vast shimmering soundscapes, or shrieking sounds that forever spiral upwards or downwards. RevPitch: Reverse pitch shifting! Everything that goes in, comes out reversed. Five tape Styles, for controlling the number of delay voices: Single: Same delay length & modulation for left and right channels. Dual: Independent delay lengths for left and right channels. Ratio: The right channel is set to a ratio of the left channel, and the feedback of left and right channels is mixed. Perfect for sounds that slowly transition from delay to reverb-esque. PingPong: A delay that bounces between the left and right channels, with the ability to set the left and right delays independently. Quad: Models the multi-head tape echoes of the 1960s and 1970s, with up to 4 delay taps on tap. Cool features: Delay lengths ranging from 0 msec to 20 seconds. Dial in choruses and flangers, slapback echoes, longer delays, or long Frippertronic loops. Sync the delay to the beat, with straight/dotted/triplet options. Or, control the length via milliseconds. Age control, for adjusting the artifacts of the delay mode. Clean and shiny, old and dusty, or anywhere in between. Powerful Diffusion section, that can be used to smooth out the attacks of delays, or can be an amazingly smooth and lush reverb in its own right. Up to 20 seconds of diffusion time possible! Era control, for selecting between different variants of the delay modes. Available NOW! $50.00 https://valhalladsp.com/shop/delay/valhalladelay/

There is no reason. You can render to 24 bit 44.100 k/hz 'till the cows come home and sound GREAT if you now how to record, you can mix down to industry standard 16 bit. Rendering to 32 bit isn't going to change or prove your skill level. Quite the contrary.

Oh yes indeedy.

This is demo I've been looking for. Great job. And super playing. Happy Easter to you!

I guess that as I am happy with 24 bit I can't see a reason for rendering stuff to 32bit. Am I misunderstanding something?

Happy Anniversary!

Great RMA service. The extra cost may be worth it.

Was you watching @Wibbles?

I see what you did there.

1.2, Very nice

Yes, and yes. We didn't think much about the date, just when it was available. We got married in the Norwegian embassy in Haag, Holland. And thanks ?

@Craig Anderton, if you have a Microsoft account then your Windows 10 product key/activation might be associated with that. They added this during the initial Windows 10 release period where you could upgrade free.

Craig, I'm not an engineer but just saying... If I get like your situation, I get in command prompt with booting by USB stick which is made to install Windows 10 and then I try to run some commands before trying recovery, I think. (Maybe diskpart, bootrec, reagentc, etc. It depends on the case.)

Great demo! Those pianos and EPs really come alive! I wish I could play them as well as you do!

If you can mount the ISO in Windows or access the install media via USB (Doesn't work when booting from a Win 10 DVD) you get the option of reinstalling and keeping you data and apps ect, it's different to refreshing, I've never done it, but that's what it says it does. If you mount the ISO, then click the setup.exe inside, you'll get to the place where it asks what to do, it definitely says it will keep your apps, I just never followed through. With regards to the not booting from a disk, I just had this, depending of course on your Bios, in my case there are 2 places that seemed to have an effect on boot device, one was the Boot priority, which WAS set to boot from cd/dvd first, the other seemed to be 'Boot Override' on the Save and Exit page, now when for what ever reason, last night it wouldn't boot from DVD even though under boot priorities that is what was selected, I stumbled on to the Boot override thing and there rwas an entry that had 'Windows something in it at the top, anyway, if you clicked on the DVD in the list it would immediately boot from that, which of course got me to boot from the DVD, it's all a bit blurry now, as I was up until 4.30 AM trying to figure out why certain things were happening, I'm still at it, I have decided to bite the bullet and reinstall everything from scratch, and use that to trim the fat a bit, not so many plugins, and nothing not needed, it will take a LONG time, days, a week maybe, there's a lot of stuff to install and set up, but at the end it should all be worth it. I'm going with v 1709 of Windows 10 and staying there for a while. Never had an issue with Windows 10 up until now since it was released, but something has come unstuck, strange errors similar to and including the one you mention, just strangeness really. I had fairly recent backups of all drives, but a fresh install might be the best, plus as I said an excuse to trim the fat, if it runs as good and as fast and stable as the last install has for all this time, I'll be happy with that. Mine previous install was an inplace upgrade to by the way. oh, and that Windows whatever entry in the Boot Override section is no longer there, and still booting fine from DVD, fun stuff . . . not

I am in another room

I wouldn't count on a dvd or CD. I would build a new install on a USB stick.

This is puzzling because booting from a recovery disc is handled entirely by the machine's BIOS, prior to the Windows boot loader being involved. The Windows 10 update couldn't affect the BIOS.

Another stairway unfit for drunk visitors...

Bwaahahahha!!!

Just call your new band "Ruthless Lawyers" and that should take care of it.

Look at BassDaddy . He thought it was Publishers Clearing House that knocked on his door . Kenny

Wait... you guys can afford to drive?

Comments and behavior in this thread are disturbing enough to totally distract from any bug fixing. So much so that it brings other "coincidences" in the past month to mind immediately for me. On March 24, the OP posted this thread, which was immediately replied to by a person who joined March 17th. A bunch of videos were then posted, and this very thread was then posted by the same OP, but the concerned party didn't respond for 5 days... although posted an hour+ video in response to feedback from a similar thread, which has since been locked. OP then makes a comment "If Bandlab fixed the bugs and offered to give him some financial support, I bet he'd be more than happy to make awesome Cakewalk tutorials." Although the direct response to that comment was already made, the person in question then responds to someone they downgraded repeatly with "If I'm to be an ambassador of this program and take part in deep bug crushing and such, I think it's quite logical that I deserve compensation." (Ref this post in this thread) 3 and 4 above were so far out in left field that they brought attention to the rest. Cakewalk responded to the bug issues in all threads, so that tends to make the other behaviors stand out. As the other thread was locked before there was any reply and associated antics here, I am struggling on how the thought process moved from A->B. It now comes across as a "social media experiment gone bad."

Sad that they have to be special ordered now.

Hey, that’s not too bad. Some bondo and a lick of paint and it will look like new again. Yeah, and maybe some springs at the back. I’m currently driving a 1989 shopping cart filled with black plastic bags and plug-ins, thanks to Larry.

This is what I now drive, thanks to Larry.

At least once a week, maybe more often, I notice someone asking for help in the main forum, and mentioning that they are using Sonar Xwhatever, and I will butt in with my CWAF! routine and grill them about why they are running an old version of Sonar when Cakewalk, a big leap forward, is available to them for free. And they will reply that they're confused and unsure about the ramifications of installing CbB, sometimes of the belief that they will lose plug-ins that they are now using, need to pay licensing fees, be obligated to use BandLab's social media site, etc. (fortunately, the tinfoil hat crowd and the "I'll never forgive them for allowing people to use it for free" manger dogs seem to have found a rock to crawl under). Or someone will outright post a topic with the above concerns. The first topic in the forum right now is just such a topic. And every time, we explain the same thing to them: no, it's perfectly fine, it's free, it installs right alongside Sonar, any premium content that came with your Sonar suite will work with it, and performance, stability, and feature-wise, it blows the doors off of any version of Sonar. There are currently no sticky topics in the main Cakewalk by BandLab forum, but I think it would serve the user base well to have this one up there. "Currently running Sonar. What happens when I install Cakewalk by BandLab?" or similar.

I see what you mean. ?

Yes, and Maple Syrup too.

The extra ProChannel modules are top of my list, especially the PC4K Expander/Gate & PC4K Channel Compressor. RapturePro would be another good one (I've already got it though, and Z3TA 2 would be good too.

Surprised not to see any mention of Soundtoys. I had picked up individual plugins when on special, so the Black Friday upgrade special to the bundle (which is the only way to get the Effect Rack) cost me less than the list price of a single 'Toy'. https://www.soundtoys.com/

Not FAQ's plural, just this FAQ. And added to the top of the main Cakewalk section. We already have one about the fab new PDF Reference Guide. This matter appears to still be a point of confusion for legacy Sonar users, and stragglers still wander in here all confused. Some of them don't even know that there is no longer a Cakewalk Inc., that there is no more Sonar, that they don't have to pay for upgrades....how they make it as far as creating a BandLab account and posting on this forum without learning that must require real determination. Having a big sign in the main parlor telling them what they need to know about upgrading to Cakewalk by BandLab would be a nice courtesy to them and to those of us who like to answer questions and would rather not answer these same ones over and over again.

Just came back from Milwaukee. BIG Mac and fries.

If I were mainly a guitarist I think I would be buying up hardware stuff........like I picked up this metal distortion box at Guitar Center. Drains a 9volt battery in about ten minutes....but for 10 minutes you get distortion bliss.

I was surprised to see that feature, not in the new Cakewalk version by Bandlab, unless I am overlooking something? Please tell me I'm overlooking something, I loved that feature SOLVED! Thank you CJ

I think you mean time stretch, not tempo change? This was changed quite a while ago to be in conformance with the Melodyne keyboard shortcut. Hold down Ctrl+Shift while you click and drag. Or choose F8 for the timing tool. Note that this doesn't work on acidized or REX files, only conventional WAV files.

It works every time for me. Luckily I'm not in the habit of routinely dragging Audio tracks on to MIDI tracks. This will crash every time on 4.2.x if you've not created a region FX first.

I believe GeneralMidiSMFs setting in TTSSEQ.ini determines whether or not initial program change data is displayed in the event list. By default, this value is set to 1 causing the DAW to create a GM setup measure which is not displayed in the event list. Instead, the data is displayed in the track controls. From https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=MIDI_Files.6.html

Ripple editing works on single or multiple tracks. The caution is because it is easy to affect multiple tracks accidentally especially when it is not turned off immediately after use.
