  1. This fellow made a choir library with his wife and kids while stuck at home during the pandemic. The result is pretty novel, most likely unlike any other choir library you already have. And it sounds surprisingly good. It's free (requires full Kontakt) for getting on his mailing list. It would appear that his ambition is to start a commercial Kontakt library business.

  4. Imagine a true stereo source on stage, such as a drum kit. I call it true stereo because sound emanates from more than one place. Now imagine scooting the whole kit over to one side of the stage. You still want it to be stereo, just moved over. The floor tom that had been panned 10% right might now be in the center, and the kick that had been centered is now 10% left. That's true stereo panning.

  8. Have a look at Sitala and TX16wx Sitala is designed for drums. If you wish to see drum names in the sequencer instead of notes, I have written a drum map for the default Sitala kit. It is available in the preset section at the top of my Google page. Copy the drum map into the drum map preset folder. The default location is %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Drum Maps After adding Sitala as an instrument track, change the MIDI output (below I in the image below) in the Inspector to the drum map and the drum names will appear in the step sequencer.

  10. Yes. The standard balance control on a hi-fi consists of two ganged volume potentiometers wired in reverse of one another. When you spin the knob, it turns one side up and the other side down. Its purpose is to compensate for asymmetrical speaker placement. Cakewalk's pan slider works the same way on stereo tracks. That has limitations, because if there are significant differences between the content of the left and right channels, you could lose important information. For example, a Leslie speaker in stereo would lose some of its effect with a balance control. "True" stereo panning means you treat each side as a mono signal and pan them in a complementary fashion. Pan to the left, and the right channel moves to the left but does not reduce in volume. The result is still stereophonic in nature but now shifted toward one side. In the Leslie example, it's as if the speaker is situated to one side of the stage but still broadcasting in 360 degrees as expected.

  11. For Duplicate Clip, this has been fixed for the next release. It will retain the original selection size and not crop to the last note.

  14. It happens frequently. When I record a project I usually record and save many versions of the project and each version is saved with the title and a number. It happens that when I open the last project version a message appears saying: there is a corrupted file and some audio is missing. I know the workaround to solve it, but I want to know why this issue occurs.

  15. M-Slate is based around some of the design of my M-Blue Slate Theme but is still a whole different Theme and much easier on the eyes than Blue Slate. Free Download Here... M-Slate 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

I do find it easier than spitfire to incorporate in production i stated , more in the project sam territory .... Download it and use the demo mode , i don't know if it's possible , it used to be possible in NI promo

  20. IMO it is very difficult to avoid such behavior. Thus I always use a power distribution with an off switch for my pc's. Like that I never run into such problems independent of my Windows/BIOS configurations! 😉

  21. Hi @Chappel, I realized from your comment that the screen shot of the theme in my post above doesn't actually show a selected track. I've updated the preview image. You might need to refresh your browser (Ctrl-F5) to see the new image. Yeah... a selected track is a lighter shade of grey background in both Console and Track view, and the track name is given an Amber background (whereas un-selected tracks are pale yellow text on black). Originally I thought this was pretty clear, but I see on reflection that after I changed the plugin colors to also be the amber/gold highlight, it is perhaps less obvious than it used to be, because the selected track visually doesn't jump out as obviously if you have many many plugins (or the FX rack visible). One possible solution is to revert either the "selected track background" or the "active FX plugin background" to the blue highlight. Probably the selected track name needs to revert (I really like the way the FX Rack looks.). Thanks for your comment - I'll think about making this change. No guarantees, and as ever you're welcome to customize it for your own use.

  22. Isn't there a setting letting the os start up to do certain things? Like, update defender and scan the disk. Defrag and other maintenance. Did win10 update recently? Settings could've been altered then.

  24. This is catchy Douglas - guitars sound great but for me the mix is a little 'full on' and I kind of feel all the instruments are fighting for attention but - having said that - this gives it a raw and live-like feel that I rather like; so I'm not sure I would want you to change it. Maybe a live edit and a studio edit. 😄 Anyway, I enjoyed it so thanks for sharing. Andy

  25. I have the AmpleSound Metal Ray bass. The riffer does output MIDI if you select that in options. So you can route the MIDI to any other VSTi in your project. The Metal Ray only has picked samples, and I have sent the riffs live via MIDI over to their free P-Bass for fingered samples, while muting the audio output from the Metal Ray. You just have to ensure that you don't use the low string on the 5-string when you send MIDI to a 4-string bass. Or at least transpose up. 🤣

  26. I want to circle back to trying to resolve the dropouts and such, using ASIO and the interface - I have a few other things to knock out of the way this morning, and then will start at the beginning of the thread, and try to find something perhaps I missed earlier, because of having several competing things going on, tugging at me in different directions - so I want to focus on this thread, and see if something can be figured out to resolve these for you.

  32. Well, I love it - I have a bigger interface, with 8-ports, and its companion expansion unit that gives me an additional 8 ports, but I only bother with hooking all that up unless I am recording drums, where having 16 inputs is just a happy thing. Most of the time, though, I just rely on my little UR-22. Never have had any issues with it, whatsoever, it just does its job - sampling at 48K and quietly working perfectly. My laptop has the killer little interface - UAD Arrow - it is a Thunderbolt 3 interface, and it is SMOKING fast. But, my desktop will never be able to have a Thunderbolt port, so I use the UAD Arrow for playing out live (I am a keyboard player, and use all soft-synths for live performance, running through a VST Host program to allow me to layer up zillions of combinations of sound from different soft synths). When you are recording, just make sure your ASIO Buffer Size is small enough to where you don't have a lag between playing notes and hearing them back, because that is a nightmare for trying to sync up to other tracks. I use 128 because it is low enough to not have any audible lag, and yet it is not so small a buffer size that it makes the CPU work too hard either - a nice compromise that works fine. Bob Bone

  36. If you want to keep the length of an extended MIDI clip, you have to switch to Non-Destructive MIDI Editing in Preferences -> Customization -> Editing -> MIDI Otherwise moving/duplicating a MIDI clip will always truncate the length of the clip to the end of the last MIDI note.

  37. Can you believe such common format as VST no longer allows you to process all MIDI "as is"? You still can process some MIDI messages, but far from all (and everything except Notes is transferred rather tricky way). That is VST3... Note that no new developers are allowed to created VST2 (not possible to sign the license). Cakewalk still support DX MFX only, but curiously that can be an advantage in not so distinct future. At least everyone can write DXes without rather "fancy" VST3 license. F.e. everyone who has signed it agree to switch to ANY next format, so VST3.10, VST4, VST5 within fixed time period... Steinberg has learned that declaring VST2 "obsolete" many years ago does not prevent this format is still in use. So they have decided to solve the problem in advance...

  39. I can't provide the "why", but if I ever need to enable Groove Looping in a MIDI clip, I ensure that the first and last notes of the clip start/end exactly on the beat by editing the notes. I believe a MIDI clip's length is defined by the data in the clip, not how long it appears.

  40. That's going to be a bummer when the new manager comes out soon. There's a massive point to requests being forwarded, a ton of requests are implemented. I'm sorry the particular one you had and/or were interested in has not yet been implemented. Edit - and I understand that the idea may be simple to many but the implementation is not. I don't think you were trying to trivialize the effort for something like that, but it could definitely be interpreted that way.

  41. ^^ This would be welcomed by me. ^^ This is reality though Abbey Road went through some additions, however WUP did not add them as it seems Waves is required to charge for each new AR plug. But if you own all of AR at the time you get the new plug at a really decent discounted intro price. At least I did in the past.

  42. If anything, I think they should be rewarding customers who bought so many of their products JMO. Maybe even "grandfather" in a lower rate. Say you own Mercury or whatever the largest package is and have been loyal. That should be worth some kind of a benny. Probably won't happen, but I think it would be a great company gesture to the dedicated loyal customers who bought a lot of stuff.

  43. I've done that, too. Embarrassing. When I joined my current band 5 years ago, I brought the VoiceLive along to the first rehearsal. The singer reacted with horror, demanding I never bring that "thing" back again. All our vocals will be live, she said. Fast forward to four years later, and two of the four singers in the band have gone, leaving only her and myself as vocalists. One day at rehearsal, I quietly set up the VoiceLive and started using it without her knowledge. That went on for several months. She never noticed, other than to comment on how great our harmonies were sounding. The trick was keeping the fake harmonies -12 dB below the dry signal and turning off effects and auto-tuning. You couldn't actually hear the generated harmonies, just a general fattening of the real ones. I came clean after about 4-5 months, after which she became considerably more amenable to the idea of electronic reinforcement. I also had to break it to her that my synth doesn't have any violins inside, either.
