Not sure why they call it a flash sale when $29 is the expected norm.....especially around here. Now $15 would be something to flash at...... ............wait, that didn't sound right.

That didn’t sound right either ...

Excellent UI. Fully MIDI mappable. The large number of factory presets, samples and multi-samples do a really good job of showing off its capabilities. Smooth-sounding so far. I don't own Serum (but have Cthulhu), so can't compare, but it's way more fun and way easier to get into than Codex. Seems odd not to support ASIO in the standalone version. At least I can play the VST through ASIO in Gig Performer, so no need to load a DAW. The current version is not yet a year old, so this isn't just some corpsical software risen from the dead. Money well spent.

Finally up at EP http://everyplugin.com/deals/shopby/manufacturer/waves.html

So here’s my first and quite possibly last Light Theme for Cakewalk, as I much prefer dark themes I find it more difficult to make a light theme, so all I can do is hope the light theme likers like it cause I don’t, lol. Many greys and whites have been inspired by those of the metal ‘Titanium’, many colors have been used from my previous M-Lux Blue Theme except those I’ve had to change due to incompatibility with a light theme. Most other backgrounds, buttons, knobs etc are also from my previous theme but most with modification to match a light theme. Enjoy! (Hopefully) :~} Free Download Here.... M-Titanium Cakewalk Theme A combined total of around 150 hours, sometimes much more, goes in to creating each Theme I make, then there's more time spent to update them whenever BandLab makes changes or additions to the Cakewalk GUI to ensure any changed or new items display correctly and match the Theme, I also don't make all these Themes for myself, it's more of a hobby and to share the end results with the Cakewalk Community for their use and enjoyment at no charge, Any Tips/Donations via the following link for my time and efforts in creating and updating these are greatly appreciated, however small. Thank You! ❤️ https://www.paypal.me/MatthewJohnWhite

Sorry there was a holiday and I was also out. We do have other direct methods of contact if you don't find answers here timely. You can use T-RackS 5 which you can get for $49.99 to host your current set of plugins and you get resizing, new GUIs, full new metering, and other features that are listed here https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tr5cs/ (you'll see the features only in T-RackS 5, Deluxe, and MAX have an asterisk next to them)

A SSL channel strip regularly going for $29..... manwhowouldhavethuk!! : )

Yes, It was massive.....and due to the lack of hard disk space, it had to be replaced with Flutes of Fire.

It's the Whiplash vst--it will torture you until you've finished your composition

In this case, you should stop reading this forum.

And free lifetime updates

According to Noel this fixes several things As with all recent Melodyne releases, I save my old installers, just in case. Actually, I save all old installers regardless of the manufacturer.

Couple of notes. 1) Sektor standalone does NOT support ASIO, just Windows Audio and Direct Audio (really laggy) 2) The installation SUCKS. It places all executables, both 32-bit and 64-bit, in whichever folder you specify. This includes the VST3 file. I had to manually move the VST3 and standalone EXE and ICO files to more appropriate locations. Re install size... The VST2, VST3 and EXE files are 49 MB each. Note that I deleted the 32-bit versions. The expansions (Factory, et. al) show 4.24 GB of used disk space. It took a minute to find them. On my system, they're at: C:\Users\Primary\AppData\Roaming\IgniteVST\Sektor

Good morning, at least it is morning over here in South Africa. Could you please kindly make for us on future updates a Tape stop effect plugin. a plugin that would bring about the same effect as vari-fi on pro tools or vinyl off in fl studio gross beat. I apologize for referencing other company's products, I all but mean to get my point across. this will be highly appreciated.

(VST/AU/AAX) - Normally €506 Now Only €89! More information at: https://vstbuzz.com/deals/82-off-acoustic-samples-guitar-bundle/

Nice try Fleer .

Be careful with the effects in your softsynths. Many of the presets are designed to sell the product to someone who is soloing it in a well spaced listening environment, and often the reverb etc. is designed to make that particular instrument sound huge. If you play a few of these scary monster sounds at the same time, you often get a result that is totally confusing as to the placement of the source. You will probably do better by pretty much recording each instrument dry (disable the effects in the synth patch) to its own track, and then trying to put it in space within the mix. Otherwise you end up with the effect of a bunch of waves of different sizes crashing into each other and creating a chaotic choppy mess, when what you want is a spaced series of distinct breakers rolling ashore so you can see the direction they come from. The issue with vocals is similar, in that modern recording technique tends to see reverb/delay as a method to improve the sound of the voice, or a substitute for vocal technique. If you are using a space-defining effect as a way to fatten up the voice, especially if you are doing it while tracking, then you are potentially bringing in a false cue to the location.

I'd say it has absolutely nothing to do with sample rates and it's really down to the skill of the mix engineer. What sort of instrumentation are you using?

The new version of Melodyne Essential is out now (ver. 4.2.2.004). I tried it with ARA integration in Cakewalk and it works good. Great thanks to @Noel Borthwick for help.

Thanks husker and Matthew. I like the look of that Streamworks Audio course and it works out at around 26 GBP with the current discount so a definite contender. I will also probably get the Groove3 one on offer and wait for the others. I will also check out the Ask Video and SOS Tutorials although I don't have a sub for SOS magazine. I have subscribed to the Steinberg YouTube channel so maybe I should work my way through their content before spending too much money on paid for tutorials.

There must be hundreds of reverb plug-ins. Not sure what will sound good to you. Have you tried the other two reverb plug-ins bundled with CbB, Sonitus fx: reverb and REmatrix solo?

Right.... It's more like "only ten?! But, why?"

😕

So June 9th is the big day for you? Not sure if I'm getting it, but would love to read your review.

Yes, I asked the donkey, he likes it. He said to tell you that you are an all powerful sentient force. To everyone else, donkey liked the suggestions, but he felt they did not make him feel like the donkey he really is, if you know what he means.

We didn't have a Memorial Day on Monday here in the UK - it was just our Spring Bank Holiday. The UK equivalent is Remembrance Sunday, which is Nov 10. I believe Germany has an equivalent (Volkstrauertag) the following week on Nov 17.

I know but I'm still waiting fer that one perfect vsti that makes my music just peerfect for a ridiculous price

I am installed, and got my projects up and running. Thanks all!

Kontakt/Player Updated to 6.1.1, Reaktor/Player updated to 6.3.1, and Blocks Base updated to 1.0.1 Run Native Access to update

Oddly, PA didn't even do a Memorial Day Sale...I know they're in Germany....but...

Honestly , I wont list all the DAW's I have currently or have used .. I will say when I was buying them and going through the honeymoon phase , I thought I was having a good time . Then I woke up one day and realized I was becoming a Jack Off All These DAW's and a Master of None ... Now I keep it simple ..Cakewalk , Reaper , Mixbus . Alright , all you extra DAW's , I want you all to line up over by the front gate single file . Get Off My Lawn Now. You are clogging up my workflow .I ain't got the time to read the manual . Kenny

For those who like me have some of the instruments in the bundle and haven’t noticed, it is possible to buy a single instrument from a drop-down on the page linked in the OP. The VSTBuzz price for each single instrument is €49. I’m only lacking Strategy (Stratocaster) but don’t know how much would be gained already having the Telematic (Telecaster). But I would say that €89 for all four is a steal.

Thanks kk. Did you mean this thread: If so that's the same solution that Ryan from IK offered. I tried it and still no joy. More details of the problems are at the end of this thread (anyone know how to link to a specific post within a thread?): Incidentally, for the song where I wanted to use American Acoustic I have now used NI Strummed Acoustic 2 ☹️

That instrument is just too expressive to be adequately captured in midi.

This is indicative of a video driver that does not support OpenGL 3.2 Fortunately, there is a config option for the LP EQ and LP MB to handle this - Go to C:\Cakewalk Content\LP EQ\Settings Open LPEQ.cws in notepad Locate the string EnableOpenGL="1" Change it to EnableOpenGL="0" and save the file Repeat the process for LP MB using the LPMB.cws in C:\Cakewalk Content\LP MB\Settings I do not have the other plug-ins and cannot offer any suggestion other than to contact the manufacturer. Their plug-ins may be looking for features not available in the video driver as well.

Thanks, Jesse, me too In fact the collector syndrome is bothering me to have nicer, newer etc (and maybe lack of answers whatever they would be from IK I can just use TR4 modules at will (and lots of variations from other manufacturers for the same gears). And keep my money for other things so while I don't feel it right now I am probably happy because of it

Thanks, Grem. Maybe one day I will. At the moment as you can guess , I am not in the mood to think of buying more things from IK.

There are two kinds of bugs calld no-see-ums. 1) Redbugs (mites) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombicula 2) Sand Flies (midges) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae I have a dozen Spanish moss filled Live Oak trees, and never have been bitten by a Redbug On the other hand, I've donated a lot of blood to the Sand Flies. Here in the my part of Florida, near the beaches and salt water marshes in the twilight hours of dawn and dusk or very damp, cloudy days the Sand Flies come out in force. You can see them, but they are tiny little dots, about the size of a period in a size 4 typeface. There are only 2 parts to this insect, wings and mouth ;) They pack quite a bite for such tiny little things. Fortunately they leave no venom or toxin behind. When there are hundreds of them they can be an irritant. They aren't strong fliers so a big fan will keep them away. If that doesn't work, a citronella candle or putting a repellent on yourself does the trick. The last time I saw one land on my arm, I squashed it, and at least 100 more came to the funeral :D Notes

@cmbrowns after upgrading to Windows 1903, I had exactly the same issue. I found this fix: https://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/index.php/2019/04/23/fixing-korg-usb-midi-driver-issues-in-windows-10-may-2019-update/ The "distilled" instructions are: Open up regedit (windows key + R, type in regedit, followed by return), then follow these instructions: The two registry addresses to copy/paste are: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 Note: If you've more than one korg device, you'll have to do this for each one. So for me, my NanoKontrol was 0011 / midi5, and my nanoKey was 0012 / midi4. Each device should have a different alias.

Haven't had any problems so far, but I went for SampleTank 4 MAX. It's has like 46 billion terabytes of sound data, haven't downloaded it all yet I assume SE is pretty much the same.

Totally support this idea ^^ I always store my back ups and active Project files uncompressed in their per project folders. But when I have to send something, I always use WinRAR to send it if I need to.

A friendly suggestion, switch from using bundle files and just .rar your project folder...you can even use a nifty little program call Quickpar- Quickpar Quickpar allows you to create repair files so if your files become damaged you can fix them easily. Too many people have had trouble opening older bundles...and todays bundles become older bundles tomorrow Even broken .rar files can be partially opened, damaged bundles are toast! Bill

Cows???

This is why I have previously suggested the "Input Echo" button and function be disabled on tracks where input is set to None regardless of the "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" setting. Until something like this is implemented, the best thing to do is make sure to turn off "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" in preferences.

In addition to all the answers you will probably get here, you might want to check out the forum Bapu created when we all thought Cakewalk was going away forever. It literally was created to discuss this topic (as well as keeping the Coffee House fun going and not losing touch with the members). Check it out here: Beyond My DAW

I use the start screen but also wrote a replacement which allows me to launch projects using different versions of CbB (64 bit SONAR Platinum and Producer too). It also allows deleting entries from the CbB MRU used by the file menu/start screen and several ways to create and maintain lists of project, project template and MIDI files to display in the tool. The program is called Cakewalk LaunchPad and is available on my google page.

Worst case I can re-sell it later.

In the mean time, there is a "Spin Down" button on iZotope's free Vinyl plugin.

thanks for responding noel - and sure it's an old thread, but i chose it from all the google results because you'd commented in that thread... it's been a regularly reported issue since then (x1) at least - if you really need a recipe from a user before considering investigation, not via your internal q.a. team, i guess we're looking to @AxlBrutality for the steps to repro then
