You are getting all emotional on us. Like a Norwegian would.

Oh come on. He already apologized which is a lot more than I would have done.

"When played" on what ? If you mean Windows media player than forget it. Drag the export back into Cakewalk

I thought that is what the "Rate this Topic" star system was for.

That's been FREE for like ...ever. It was my first dynamic eq! 😀 Great plugin though! Amazing that it's free. I liked it so much I picked up the gentleman's version a Black Friday ago...

The NKA files are presets for the Ostinatum arp feature. But at least for me putting them in my Documents folder doesn't work. Looking at the file access log it seems to be looking for %userprofile%\Documents\Albion ONE\Data which doesn't exist so the load button brings me to the Kontakt 5 default directory. But if you make a Data folder and move all the .nka files into it, then the load button will work correctly. To be honest this kind of poor attention to detail isn't uncommon with Spitfire. I don't think Windows is their preferred platform. Short version: copy the Albion ONE folder that is inside the Spitfire Albion ONE library folder to your user Documents folder (which may be something like c:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents Then inside it make a new folder called Data and move all the .nka files into it. Then you can load the Ostinatum settings with the load button without having to go hunting all over your hard drives to find them (which you can also do). Truthfully this isn't how Kontakt instruments are supposed to work, they should have put them in the Kontakt preset settings directory. And their installer should have put them there for you. Note: I bought Albion ONE a while ago, your download may be very different than mine. This may just be because of that, your mileage may vary, member FDIC.

Hi people, I've finally made it over to the new forum. Hopefully I'll see a lot of the old crew here as well. I've had a long break from writing and mixing, and am getting back into it now, I still mix through headphones (Delivery of monitors on Tuesday). The 1st track that I've produced is for an East West competition, I've call it If you were wondering. I had to use all East West VST, but mainly their new Opera instrument. Ithought it would be fun to do a take on Eurovision, This would be my entry... https://facebook.wizehive.com/voting/view/voices-of-opera-demo-contest/56915/5758080/0 https://www.bandlab.com/russ_white/eurovision2019-110519-ae590bc9 Please vote and listen. All feedback is warmly welcome. Many thanks Russ

After a bit of googling I found out that they're listed as official dealers by two well-known companies: Plugivery: https://www.plugivery.com/about/dealers/ Metric Halo: https://mhsecure.com/metric_halo/buy/dealers/301-north-america.html & https://mhsecure.com/metric_halo/component/gcontact/contact/74-north-america/1226-john-quevedo.html

Oh, well – whatever floats your, erm, yellow submarine.

You're just mad that they made you go to class eight days a week. Not that you could have done anything yesterday. (That was only the world turning one revolution.) And that was just a day in the life. In my life. I'm sure with a little help from my friends we can work it out. (Don't let me down!) What you need to do is get back. Even if it's a long and winding road. 🙂

For VST3 migration options to work, the plug-in manufacturer needs to add the appropriate code to their plug-ins Here are a couple of blog posts about the feature http://www.noelborthwick.com/2013/09/28/developer-notes-sonar-x3-vst-enhancements/ http://www.noelborthwick.com/2014/01/22/developer-notes-sonar-x3-vst3-internals/

Hi Guys, Thanks for your responses they're greatly appreciated. I was comparing the sound level of CbB to Windows Media Player + when a/b ing it in CbB there is no difference in level. My previous efforts did not have so marked a difference in volume, but you live and learn. Thanks again + long live CbB. regards paul

Lynn, Good to hear from you again, and such kind words, perhaps I can get the drums and warmth right when I start mixing in monitors! Thanks for listening and I'm pleased that you find this Eurovision type piece an inspiration. :)

Water is going down. Lake has crested. Hopefully can get back in soon. Another night in a motel. It’s not as bad as projected so far that is as long as it quits raining

I have all of them (except Matchlock) and I completely agree, they're excellent (once you dial in a bit) and they fit in a mix wonderfully.

It's nice that the local Best Buys have the in stock.

Is this a legit site?

Buying from JRR is going to save you about 12% over purchase at the GForce site.

I missed this one, but I finally caught up. This is very bright, poppy, and happy sounding as dance songs go. I'd like to hear this played over some large speakers and subs, like in a club. I'll bet people wouldn't be able to stay off the dance floor.

@mgustavo Thanks for following up on this topic. It helps other people down the road.

Just a guess: as the Theme Editor only allows correctly sized images to be imported into an image slot, maybe someone has been playing around with some external resource editor? It’s hard to believe though that any incorrectly sized image would not be either distorted or cropped when rendered in CbB, so I can’t really see the point in doing that.

Nice stuff! I raided your theme for the fx on/off button color scheme....pretty easy Started on the pan etc buttons for the gradiated outer ring. Man, a lot of effort for that! I love the light Mercury style themes, so I created my own, but if you ever do a light theme it will be light years ahead of mine. Thanks for all the work.

Sorry for not going along. I’m still preoccupied with my health issues. Talking about it constantly was even starting to bore me so I was keeping quiet. I should be back on the road again July 2nd. Nudge nudge wink wink.

This sounds like a routing and/or export setting issue. Make sure your export settings are correct. You can use entire mix or main outs 1/2 as your source. I like using Entire mix myself Here is how your project routing should look like: Make sure ALL your tracks are routed to the Master Bus. Master bus is routed to your Main Outs 1/2 All Sends go to Bus's All Bus's go to the Master Bus

Is the output to your sound card within Cakewalk boosted at all? At zero, it should be the same as playing through your sound card at full volume.

It's going to be awesome that the rapture session / pro and L-Phase plugins be reintegrated again. the big ones missing in this manific daw are advanced audio editing, sampler, drums mashine like impact xt ...

Not that I ever noticed the stars before, I'm not sure how they work. Would anyone see the stars without viewing the thread? When I wrote the OP I was thinking more of the way the Q&A thread works where a vote sends the thread to the top section of the subject list. That way it is much more visible (to the Bakers in particular) and you can see its popularity by the number of votes. Kind regards, tecknot

Kuassa amps are terribly underrated..... They make some of the best amp Sims around.... For me, Creme is one of the best high gain amps around..... Give it a try guys..... These guys are good

I agree with everything here 95%. I left Sonar Platinum installed and installed CbB. CbB is just plain better. However, at one point, there was an issue with TH3 and FX Chains that left me dead in the water for using them with CbB, so I had to use Platinum instead. I alerted Noel, and there was a fix in the next CbB. Haven't opened Platinum since then. It has become a sort of vestigial organ on my hard drive.

Yes, by using project templates. Create a new project with the way you want it set up, then save the project as a template into the project templates folder. If it's in the projects template folder, it will then appear on the start screen. I always save mine starting with an underscore, so it's first in the list alphabetically.

Hi, just to update OP - I've contacted Cakewalk support and they could reproduce the first issue, related to the bar between the + and - values! It seems it's going to be fixed! Also interacting with support made me tweak a bit more on Event Inspector module and I saw there is an option to clear the Auto Open Collapsed Modules on the Control Bar, as show on Cakewalk on line help: Note 2: If you do not want pop-up modules to automatically appear when you point to collapsed modules, right-click the Control Bar, point to Options, and clear the Auto Open Collapsed Modules option. When this option is disabled, you must click a collapsed module to open its pop-up module. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&amp;language=3&amp;help=ControlBar.01.html#1500771 This procedure solved my problem! : ) Thanks! Best regards,

You run Microsoft's SysInternals Procmon. It records all system accesses. With the right filters you can see what exactly any software is doing and then use that to work out crazy stuff like this. Download it from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

Hi Lynn , Wow, deep song on a lot of levels . I love the line " the older I get the less I become less of the parts of my sum " Love the change up arrangement wise you did at 1:38 ...what do we have here ? A Reggae style guitar part mixed in w a Cuban style groove done in an old Western spaghetti style sound canvas ...OMG Love it .. I liked your song a lot Lynn . Everything about it is very good . The songs message , the vocals , instruments and mix .... Great job , Kenny

If it's only larger projects crashing CbB, I'd test your system's RAM. It may also be tied to Drumagog. I've had that particular plug-in crash Cakewalk, Samplitude, as well at various times. My issue is when closing the program or the project. It plays fine, I save things, close out and the program hangs until I shut off my audio device's power then power on again. After that I can restart the program. Happens almost 6 out 10 times with big projects where Drumagog is in use. I may also try Craig Anderton's tip from way back of killing the HD Audio driver tied to my video card in Device Manager to see if that helps One other thing, I used Azlow's Sonar to Reaper converter and ported a few projects over and I don't have the shutdown problem even with Drumagog. But that obviously doesn't bring over the Pro Channel or effects chains.

Just last night, my children were asking about Star Wars (they haven't seen it yet). We're planning on watching the original this weekend. Yaaay, it's FRIDAAAAAAAY!!

This is a really amazing synth. I've made quite a few videos for it if you're interested in how it works. I'd pick it up while its still in beta and the price is cheap.

This is what you want.

It's a small thing... but I would love to be able to customize the color of the cells in the color picker window that is displayed when the user presses the color marker against a track (or anywhere else the color palette is displayed). Ideally the choices should be persisted between projects (just like a user's choice of Theme or Colors from Edit->Preferences). A nice-to-have would be to be able to save and load palette selections from a file... but I'd be overjoyed with just being able to customize the default colors in cakewalk.ini or similar.

Im on 8 and 10 and no issues. Use Cut/copy SPECIAL!. Make sure cursor is in right place and youre on the correct starting track. The function works perfectly and has for years

I don't like the frequent updates though, this seems to be something unique to Sonar users, who expect one a month and think that is a good thing If you were a SONAR user before the "Great Panic of 2017" you got used to this schedule for a few years. I think it's great the Noel & Co. still do updates on what seems a more quarterly basis, but I do like monthly updates for bug fixes etc. vs. feature updates. I'd rather have stability vs. a bunch of features I may or may not use. As for the program's popularity. Who really cares? It works, it's still here, it doesn't look to be going away anytime soon. This is great news for my work (commercials and post production) since we have almost 16 years of projects on back-up. If we did have to switch DAWS it would have been a major problem because we often have to go to projects from several years ago.

I think it is just the instruments that are missing to move Cakewalk up the popularity ladder a bit. In my view they should be given priority next. When I read the Cakewalk splash page, I agree with most of what is on there, there is a lot to like but then there is this: -------- A World of Instruments Whether you’re a songwriter, producer, or composer, Cakewalk by BandLab has the instruments you need to build your production from the ground up. ------- It does have instruments but I would regard them as basic, it doesn't have a Kontakt like Instrument player, Cubase has Halion, Studio One the Presence instrument etc A DAW needs it's own instrument player/sampler. I think in Sonar that was Dimension Pro? That also really adds a lot to the marketing side as well. People know then if they get the DAW they can make good sounds. The current instruments don't look very modern and are limited. If I didn't already have Komplete Ultimate, I probably wouldn't and in fact couldn't, make Cakewalk my primary DAW. I have 9 DAW's on my computer at the moment, just looking at them before upgrading the computer. Before I was using Studio One primarily but I am now using Cakewalk and migrating some projects over to it. I now am becoming more familiar with it and do everything in it. I like the interface much more than the other DAW's. It's a size thing, everything in Cakewalk is easier to see, the big EQ slideout and the Prochannel stuff and the piano roll etc, I could go on but the aim of the thread is whether Cakewalk is gaining popularity with Bandlab users. I don't know about that but in terms of popularity with other DAW users I think that just adding an instrument player of some kind would be a good start. Then everything advertised on the splash page would be correct and then you would also have even more features to market on that splash page. I think that the idea people are not using the product because of bugs/instability is absolute rubbish, I don't find it any different to other DAW's, they all run stably on my system and they all have little quirks here or there. I don't like the frequent updates though, this seems to be something unique to Sonar users, who expect one a month and think that is a good thing. I think it's a terrible idea. It seems sometimes these updates break things and another comes out just as quickly to correct it. Other DAW's you get 1 every 3 to 6 months or so. I prefer that. Perhaps there is a Beta testing section needed in the forum somewhere either visible to the public or only to logged in members where these updates can be tested more widely by some users before release.

While I know a lot of users might argue with me, I think Cubase's MIDI isn't really all that much better than CbB, except for a few things. Those things may be more important to you though. I personally see it as kind of a tie. But I also used Cakewalk since it came on floppy discs, so I'm not sure I can honestly compare the two on everything. I can be productive with either. Nice MIDI things in Cubase that CbB can't do natively/easily/at all that I use (I'm sure there are others, these are the ones that effect me): Chord Pads Expression maps MIDI Sends Chord recognizer (if you place the time line on some MIDI notes Cubase can tell you what cord it is) Quantizer has lots of options Things I hate about Cubase: Non-Windows window management. Every window in Cubase acts crazy in some half-mac/half-Atari SE kind of way. The toolbars all don't work like Windows apps. It drives me mad. When I minimize a project window I don't want to have to also minimize the app menu floating on my screen/etc. You don't delete/remove plugins/synths in Cubase instead you set it to No VST Instrument/No Effect. On paper this sounds fine but when I want to remove a plugin I don't want to scroll to the top of a giant list to select No Effect, I'd rather right click and pick delete. Recording a synth is a lot harder to do than Cakewalk, I almost always have to Google it since I can never remember the steps. They aren't hard but for some reason it bothers me. Included MIDI FX plugins seem kind of weak. Had to buy jBridge to run the handful of 32-bit plugins that I still use. Things I think are pretty much a tie: Built in effects/included synths/etc. I rarely use Cakewalk's and I rarely use Cubase's. Not sure that's a fault of either company though. Thing I miss the most about Cakewalk: Melodyne ARA integration. (this is supposed to show up in Cubase soon though, so I'm really hopeful). On the whole though I think CbB holds it own with Cubase better than most people would think. I'd give Cubase the edge for synths and MIDI but not by an epic amount. If you are thinking about switching one I thing I do think is true, you can't easily use both. You kind of have to commit if you want to get the most out of either app. It's why I rarely use CbB anymore. Not because CbB can't do it, it's just a matter of personal focus.

Ha! I love nuts!! You're welcome back anytime. Thanks for your witty reply.

HA ha, this is nuts! But I love everything, even the hi-hats. I will re-visit this post from time to time to enjoy this again. Great work!

Perfection is far from what I record for. I seldomly spent more than 3 days total. Just listen to my songs lol. It’s all for the fun of doing it. The down side of it is I don’t usually have the time to record a song. Something always comes up and a month goes by and can’t remember the song anymore. For me that’s enough.

Here's a link to a zip of all the .ins files from the old Cakewalk ftp site: http://msmcleod.co.uk/cakewalk/InstrumentDefinitions.zip ... and here's a post from the old forum with some more links: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Instrument-Definition-Files-Cakewalk-Sonar-INS-Files-m3716596.aspx

While many things can be tweaked so Sonar/CbB can run fine, expecting it can work as most performance optimized DAW to the date (I mean REAPER) is hopeless. One responsible for fluent operations with small buffers feature, the anticipative processing, simply does not exist in the Cakewalk engine. But it should be possible to make CbB working. With bigger buffer size and less plug-ins, but still. When I think I have troubles, I normally start with my personal list: http://www.azslow.com/index.php?topic=395.0
