Did ya got it at 25 $ ? It has a tendancy to exite the highs ..and attack lows pretty easy , exellent when need but just beware of that ... of course you can play with the sidechain for lows detections .... For me the key is that it sounds great from start , tweaking is fast .... the overloud being the one of that mojo and the Fet from softube still a beast ... Elysia Mpressor gets also underatted like crazy ... Testing testing for another video

I have an engl 646 pluginfor sale by the way .... as well as elysia nvelope elysia museq millena tcl2 bx console E bx pan eq bx saturator x Voila just wanted to spam Larry s post lol

Both @Morten Saether and @msmcleod have a deep understanding of Cakewalk's features and limitations. At the same time they also are able to produce small, visual aids that simplify new or complicated uses and have published some aids in the forum to explain a feature or provide step-by-step instructions. Please see this or this post for excellent examples of what I'm so excited about. I would like to see these visual aids incorporated into the Cakewalk Help Module, Online Help Guide and Cakewalk Reference Guide. Please note I'm assuming the Cakewalk Reference Guide will be published in EPUB or another file format that supports animated GIFs. Please see this post.

I shouldn't really say this as a citizen of the U.S. but a part of me would love to see the royal family working construction jobs for minimum wage.

I have them but haven't touched them since I picked up the Orange Tree libraries which are outstanding. https://www.orangetreesamples.com/ Indiginus has superb libraries as well https://indiginus.com/ https://indiginus.com/renegade_acoustic.html IMHO the Pettinhouse stuff isn't bad, but I was never really satisfied with it; but as they say YMMV.

Me too!!

Thanks @Base 57 - I didn't know it was that easy! For those who want a video to @Base 57's instructions:

Well it appears the content it re-downloaded was the SD content. It appears all I have to do is point the instruments at the HD content folders from the V10 installation and all is well. However I have not done all the instruments yet so that may change if there had been any updates to the sample content on any of them.. I get diverted, I love the 200 and 88 electric pianos and start noodling.

In a BOGO sale no less with either MODO bass or drums*. *For those that don't already have either.

I like it even if Steve doesn't.

Don't forget that SONAR had its own set of one knob thingies - Style Dials, or whatever they were called. If you can't get the job done with one knob, then you really need to improve your technique.?

I finish one song for every 50 I start. Such a low completion rate can lead to a paralysis of indecision and procrastination. I've gone months without any creative output because I wonder what's the point when it's probably just going to suck. What keeps me going is that wonderful feeling you get when a song suddenly clicks and you start to actually enjoy listening to it. It's always a surprise when that happens. Sometimes I spend weeks on a piece that goes nowhere. Other times I'm sure it's going to suck and then one day it doesn't. Rarely do I know up front when I've begun a project that it's going to come out OK. It's like putting one more dollar into the slot machine: sure, it just took my money the first 50 times, but you never know. Here's a tip. Every failure is going to have some little kernel of goodness in it. Might be a riff, a beat, a clever lyric or a cool synth patch. 5 seconds of brilliance buried in 5 minutes of crap. Those gems are like pocket change; toss one into a jar every day and over time they'll add up to something of value.

In case you missed it, we have a new early access build available. We plan to release sometime next week, so please post in the thread if you notice any issues. There is a brand new "Instrument track per output" feature that is useful for multitimbral synths like Kontakt, and also some audio engine optimizations and better engine load metrics.

Hi all, Thanks for your reports on yesterday's authorization issue. We're happy to report the SG team resolved it quickly once it was diagnosed. We apologize for any setbacks or concerns the outage may have caused. This was a momentary server side issue, so no resolution was possible from the desktop side, either from BandLab Assistant or CbB. Bottom line: CbB is no longer launching as "Not Activated". Such issues are infrequent, typically affecting only fresh installations as they tend to get resolved quickly. Please note that the team is taking steps to minimize the likelihood of this reoccurring in the future. All being well otherwise, the Bakers continue to crank away on the next release - looking forward to sharing some great stuff soon to come! Have a great weekend! The Bakers

You've got to be joking. "Everything", you say. Even those that don't exist yet, like drag & drop options, copying settings among FX, or opening instruments in the Console, "are working better" now. You sound about right on one thing, though. You do sound like a Reason user. Cause that's pretty much the tone that I'd started to be allergic to, on Reason forums. And they do react to talking about the program as if it was "like insulting someone's mother". It's like their entire identity is hinged around their gear, and their DAW being declared flawless is more important to them than working easily in it, even if afterwards they admit doing the mixing in other DAWs, because of its limitations, etc. That's a sign of emotional issues, more than objective assessment, as far as I can gather. I see you've carried this style of speaking here, too. And I'm glad to see you stopped here not to make any useful suggestions, but just enough to "assert yourself". Get a life.

Of course you can, been doing it every month...

Thanks for the info. abacab. User905133 - this problem is at the installation level. The install does not see Rapture (installed) on my C drive. Kind regards, tecknot

Grab the demo and check it out. For me, I did when it was first released, never bought it then, nothing has changed, still not buying it. But you may like it, hence it's better to try it for yourself than to put to much in other peoples opinions.

If I were an Ardent Mac and Apollo user this would be tempting. But I'm a die hard PC user with an RME interface and 8 add on RME mic pre's on my main DAW machine. I have a MAc now but not mainly as a DAW. It's an iOS app development environment where I can dabble/experiment on the Mac versions of the DAWs I own. Oh and through the use of some CC points I was able to get Logic Pro X for Mac for all of $27 cash outlay.

I am sure that God will allow him to recover soon so we can continue enjoying his music. Jimmy

Damn, looks like someone just said: "Let's just cram Cubase, Sonar and Pro Tools in here and call it a day!" As for me, I got enough DAWs I have no idea how to fully use ? so it's a skip for now.

Lol, yes that also happens to me especially with the 200 and I am primarily a guitarist!

Hi. If you have Kontakt. This is a freebie I have used CONCERT VIBRAPHONE / library for Kontakt

If I knew how to make good videos I would but... The method you show is awesome but it is even easier without the alt-shift and cntrl-drag mod keys. With the edit filter set to show clip gain just drag the cursor along the bottom of the clip to select a range then move the cursor above the envelope to change it to the envelope tool. Drag up or down within the selected range and nodes are created automatically. AND whenever the cursor is showing the envelope tool clicking between any two nodes will select that range for adjustment.

Cancer is scary. I pray for your fast and complete recovery. ?John B

Nice freebie... Installation instructions and walk through on all the new presets

It's been a couple days. Is it $29 yet?

The visuals @msmcleod creates make all the difference in the world. Same for the visuals @Morten Saether creates for the periodic feature overviews. There is some truth in the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. I'd love to see some of these visuals incorporated into the Cakewalk Reference Guide, online help or, best of all, into the Cakewalk Help Module. In fact, I appreciate the visuals so much I think I create a new thread to discuss the idea. I created the animated gif / video thread. If you like the gif and video content and want to see them in the Help module or Reference Guide please visit the thread and express your support.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. It can be difficult dealing with health issues but I hope at least the experience will inspire some new ideas for your upcoming works.

Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery, sir!

Get well soon sir.

All the best, wookie! With the hope that we'll see you here still for a long, long time. I wish you a fast and complete recovery.

No problem kevro2000. Glad you got it sorted ?

Pre-Midi here as well. Thought it was magic that one synth / sequencer could control another. Pre Midi synth - a second hand Yamaha CS01 (still got it). First midi synth - Yamaha DX100 (still got it). Had a Yamaha QX21 sequencer follow by an Atari computer with Steinberg Pro24. Suddenly my Fostex X15 cassette four track had a lot more possibilities (with a synchronizer).

For more than 20 years I’ve wanted to see Definable regions (by Markers; a feature that already exists) that can be used as a Playlist for on the fly arrangement. Simply reorder the Playlist to try a different arrangement.

In 85 or 86 i had a Kong DDD-1 drum machine and SQD-8 Sequencer. The beginnings a of my own home studio. I had it made. At least i think that was the model numbers. I had a good friend about 10 or 15 years my senior, who owned a Music Store and always had the latest gear. Bill and then later, Alf, who bought that store from him, used to sponsor our 4 piece band with some small bits of gear. New types of products seemed to come out every other day. Couldn’t get enough of the tech but it was hellishly expensive back then. We really struggled to own our own PA gear. The lack of the right gear was often a limiting factor in the size of gigs we could get. I remember we secured a residency in a really flash sports club. We were offered 5 nights per fortnight. In the end we couldn’t accept the offer because we didn’t have big enough gear. And couldn’t afford to buy it. No one was game to step up and borrow money to buy it. This was the days before all the venues had their own equipment - you not only had to play you had to be a small trucking and stage business carting the gear and setting it up. Too poor and not big enough for roadies. Always going round in circles. Those were the days. Woohoo!

I remember MIDI being first introduced. I bought a very early version of the Prophet 600 that had an add on option for Midi output . I think that was around 86. My first major Midi recording program was Texture 2.5. Cake walk and Voyetra were the about the only other PC compatible softwares back then. This was probably pre windows.

Someone mentioned "unfinished project," well it seems that can be said for just about anything in Cakewalk. ACT is a big example. I would like to see it fully developed, no, revamped so that it has greater more dependable control integration. Matrix View needs attention, Staff View really needs a lot of work, etc. I think BandLab should take a look at each feature/component and improve upon them one at a time. And take a break from adding new features for a while, until the existing features have been improved. I wouldn't mind that. Make them robust and fully functional. Not that Cakewalk is not workable, but it doesn't take much to reach its limitations in a number of cases. It still feels a little fragile each time I work with it. Like just one more move will irreversibly corrupt my project. I could make a complete list things, but I would have to give it more thought. Kind regards, tecknot

It's still occurring now. UPDATE: Solved by one of the Cakewalk support guys (very quickly too!). I had to delete the existing hidden auth files on my machine for CbB then re-authorise.

..a more efficient and true Staff/Score view/editing...

More composition tools please - Chord Track, Chord Assistant, Extract Chord from Audio

Hybrid modelling... I seem to remember that TruPianos used that technique... and that doesn't need either 40 or 400 gb. If you want a great sounding (IMO) modelled piano, check out Pianoteq

i would like the Matrix to be WAY more developed. it kinda seems like an unfinished project

Seems OK now.

Don't recall this ever being a problem but there are several versions of the Rapture expansion pack installers. I prefer to use the Rapture Classic series from SONAR Platinum. Not sure if they all look for a valid Rapture install but it seems reasonable that they would. IIRC, some very old installers did not look in the registry for the Multisamples Folder. This caused problems for users that modified the registry to alter default locations. AFAIK, Rapture uses one Multisample Folder path. I let Rapture and all expansion packs install using their defaults. Instead of messing with the registry, I prefer to use directory junctions when relocating folders for the sfz engine synths like Rapture. This allows all the installers to work regardless of when they were built because the installation looks like it is running with all settings at their default values.

Just FYI that's also my default setting and what I used to test above.

Mixbuss is the answer Piotr

Check the exclude list by clicking "Show Excluded" while "VST3 Audio FX (VST3)" If the plug-in is there, try a manual scan from preferences with "Rescan Failed Plug-ins," "Scan in Sandbox" and "Generate Scan Log" enabled. After scanning, disabled "Rescan Failed Plug-ins." If this does not fix the problem review the scan log. There should be some entries about the plug-in. If the plug-in is not there, running a VST Reset from preferences with "Scan in Sandbox" and "Generate Scan Log" enabled. Depending on how many plug-ins are installed, the scan log may be huge but searching the log for the VST3 file name should narrow down the search for the appropriate entries. An alternative to running a VST Reset is uninstall the plug-in, run a manual scan, re-install the plug-in then run a manual scan with "Scan in Sandbox" and "Generate Scan Log" enabled. This will generate a much smaller log because only the newly adding plug-ins get scanned.

Try running CbB as Administrator. right click the CbB icon and select Run as Administrator then do a rescan. I had a similar issue and that worked for me. Peace, Blindeddie
