Heard the developer is ending things and now giving away this synth. Spectra is a powerful digital additive resynthesiser built exclusively for the Reason platform. Spectra's ability to analyze and resynthesise any periodic, harmonic waveform via its inbuilt spectral waveform analyzer means you may never exhaust Spectra's sound creation possibilities. If you have ever wanted to sculpt sound by drawing your harmonic spectrum, waveform or drawing a spectral filter response then Spectra may be what you've been waiting for. Please note that Spectra is only available for Reason 9.2+ owners. https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack-extension/spectra-additive-resynthesizer/ I downloaded this and can confirm that it works in Reason Lite. Nice addition to the rack and thought it was worth mentioning here for all that got it.

Oh, you fancy folks with your confusing knobs and stuff. All you need is Sausage Fattener. [EDIT] (for clarity)

You had it easy....

Congratulations Noel and Cakewalk team. I’m astounded how many improvements continue to be made to this program. I guess I could always find something to complain about or beg for a specific change or feature but after having now passed 25 years of using Cakewalk/Pro/Sonar/CbB (along with other programs) I’m actually content to follow Cakewalk’s vision for the program’s development. Since the acquisition by Bandlab, I have to admit I haven’t been able to keep up with the rate of development of existing and addition of some of the new features. The program now far outstrips my ability to maintain what I once would have claimed as being a very high level of proficiency with its use. I guess I continue to make music (when health permits) the same as I’ve done for ages and while the improved stability and smoothness benefit my process, I’m a long way off using many of the new features. While that leaves me more to explore in Cakewalk itself, I really miss the days when I felt I was able to make meaningful contributions to the community here. Like chiming in to answer a query regarding a function or process. These days I’m lucky if I understand the question. Lol Anyways, after rambling on so much; congratulations again to Noel and the team for another stellar update.

Pat Benatar - Hell is for children:

I am going to check this out.

As far as I understand, 1176s are used when very fast attack times and the distortion they add are desirable, e.g. on rock drums where you might want an added edge/aggressive tone. For bass, you might want to try an LA/3A. Either will sound good. LA/2A can sound good on vocals too.

I have UVI Falcon and I love the integrated Spark reverb. For me it was a clear buy to have it as an effect in my DAW.

This is amazing. So happy I got it.

IK porn?

Rumor has it that now that Richard Branson, Larry, and two unknown virgin galactic employees went into outer space. Larry can return home to focus on this deals forum again.

That has also been my experience with them as well. I have worked with their Hammersmith Piano which I think is one of the best, and have been working through their new THRENODY STRINGS which is very unusual ;^) but still has excellent quality wrapped into it.

Erik, this is really fun theme. I like your approach to theming, go bold as it were. The more variety in our theme collections, all the better! Thanks for your hard work.

That might just work better than a line out. And I've actually got both. But I don't carry them in my gig bag and we were playing on an island hours away from the nearest music store. I thought I was adequately prepared because I'd brought a hat.

Not a big deal but... the small Transport Module would look much better if the display data was centered better in their respective areas.

Yeah, that's why I decided to post.

They even sample coffee machines lol

Two or three o’clock on the interface output. For most volume control that is the sweet spot to produce a full signal without distortion. However, I go through a summing mixer and then to an amp whose vol knob is in easy reach. That is set about 11 o’clock.

1176-alikes have bit me on the booty in years bygone due to inducement of yucky distortion noise when using those very fast attack settings. I had an experience where I was trying to figure out how I had messed up my DI'd bass recording and it turned out that my mistake was running it through an 1176 to even it out. I hadn't solo'd it while setting up the compressor, and then I kept hearing this krrrrkkk sound down in the bass when I put on my headphones. Like a rubbing voice coil, not musical in any way. Even now that I know a lot more about compression I tend not to use attacks below 2 or 3 and that's when I'm really trying to shave an initial transient off something, like a cymbal ping. A compressor whose attack time range starts at a tenth of a mS and goes all the way up to 1.2 mS is not a thing that I easily find uses for. I know I'm peeing into a windstorm of "no way, I'd be lost without my trusty 1176-alike." I fully admit that it's my own lack of experience and skill with them that prevents me from understanding the charm, but I have other options which seem to suit me better. If anyone wishes to enlighten me I welcome it. The usual sources seem to speak in generalities that leave me thinking "well, yes, I get that they can do that, but so will my other compressor that allows me to dial in 5mS and a 5.1:1 ratio if I want to, and it has a threshold knob. " For that matter, I rarely find a use for that other famous flavor, LA/2A emulations. I use my T-Racks 670 for things other people would probably use an LA/2A for (glue and bus leveling), and a versatile precision compressor like MCompressor or MModernCompressor for things that other people would probably use an 1176 for. I used to long for a decent dbx 165 clone, but now I have elysia mpressor which is all that and a side of fries. It rules the danged school on snare and kick at least.

Here's a review on SOS: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/uvi-sparkverb

Still a mystery why an old web home page would show up where it was clearly never intended to.

You can set the meter to pre fader.

I did not think it came across in any sort of negative way. From all the posts I have read, you come across to me as very respectful of others. So, this: was also intended as being respectful (not sarcastic or negative in any way).

That went over easy. 😉 (Which is rare!😁)

Zo, some would say it passes for thinking, others would say I'm a bot.

Until such time that this feature is implemented, one suggestion is Meldaproduction MLoudnessAnalyzer, a freeware plug-in. Then put it (or whatever meter you prefer) in the Multidock. You do this by clicking on the window icon in the far left upper corner. At this point, your meter plug-in will float on top of everything when Cakewalk has focus. If you need to see Piano Roll or Console on a second monitor, drag their tabs out of the Multidock.

The Scheps Omni is great, too bad WAVES is the one that makes it.

My older LP VST2's: LP-64 EQ c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins\Linear EQ\LP64_EQ_64.dll LP-64 Multiband c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins\Linear Compressor\LP64_Multiband_64.dll My newer LP's are VST3's only: LP EQ c:\program files\common files\vst3\LPEQ_64.vst3 LP MB c:\program files\common files\vst3\LPMB_64.vst3 If you think the older ones look outdated, all the GUI files are in the Resources folder, something Cakewalk did for several plugins back in the day. Redecorate to your heart's desire. EDIT: They're not so generous with the newer offerings.

you could set the volume faders to unity (0 on the console) and adjust gain knob to until you're peaking at -3db, or lower. then you can raise and lower as needed. as a note: the 0 mark on the meters does not indicate clipping on volume (as you noted), but you can still clip if the gain is too high. one option is to set your playback meter to "pre fader" which would exclude the level of the volume fader but would show you how the gain control and other in-line processing are effecting the gain.

Seems a bit unambitious really. I'd want A++ developers.

sorry for typo

thanks. no one drive enabled. i am baffled

You are correct. I mis-spoke when I called it "global". It isn't. A better word would be "persistent". Once you set it, that does become the default for subsequent projects. This is how you can inadvertently end up using a different pan law than you thought was in play.

Hi @p-w-m the issue is this: 12175 WinHTTPSendRequest A security error occurred. This means your Windows operating system has not been configured for TLS 1.2. ... To configure your Windows operating system's WinHTTP stack for TLS 1.2, run Windows Update and make sure all updates have been installed. Are you running Windows 7? This is a known issue where some systems don't have the latest TLS libraries installed. If you are running Windows 7 please be advised that it isn't a supported configuration for reasons like this. See this thread for a solution.

@dubdisciple You could try renaming Offline.html in %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\ to Offline.html.bak It should get recreated from scratch when you re-open CbB. You should try to work out why this has happened though... do you have OneDrive enabled? I could have re-synced from an older machine maybe ? Check your OneDrive configuration, and consider excluding this directory... or at least make sure everything is synced and up-to-date.

After bypassing all effects using the FX button in the Mix module, re-enable the track FX rack by clicking on its power button or right-click in the FX rack and deselect "Bypass FX Rack"

When You Open Cakewalk it shows a big dialogue box where they show your recent projects and templates and stuff. That's the start screen

Screenshot says it all. Weird.

Pete said Free! Thanks Pete 😊

Sampletank 10 already? I dooooon't think so.

This new port naming scheme is about 100% better! I've been hoping for additional advancements to the friendly naming since Sonar 8, and this is a definite improvement. My one hope is that additional refinements will let us re-order (or re-number) the ports as listed in the pop-up menus when Friendly Names are active. Windows/MOTU choose to list my ports in a different order than what makes sense to me, so I still have custom numbers as part of the Friendly names right now. If we could re-order our ports as displayed in Cakewalk, I could rely on Cakewalk's port numbering, rather than my own numbering convention. Ideally, we could also just set up a customized menu for ourselves of hardware ins/outs to be displayed. Perhaps with presets so different sessions could utilize different I/O displays/naming conventions (this is one of the few features that Pro Tools has always done really well; Studio One also has a pretty good implementation for this, too). It would be great to set up the pop-up menu so that mono outputs are in a separate sub-menu than stereo pairs of outputs.

I guess in the long run we are using our ears to mix as well keeping an eye on the meter to make sure we are within safe levels to avoid peaks. Panning in a way is sort of like applying an effect in the way it can alter your mix. So this is important to understand for sure. I just added it to my other list of 1,000 things to remember when mixing audio

Here's an article from Craig Anderton on Noel's blog. http://www.noelborthwick.com/cakewalk/2014/11/19/panning-laws/

Using the Samsung 980 as an example (popular/good NMVe SSDs): 250GB version is warranted for 150-TBW (terabytes written) or 5 years (whichever comes first). I've seen reports where M1 Macs were writing ~0.682TB of data per day to the onboard SSD. If the onboard SSD has the same specs as the Samsung 980, it could potentially fail after ~220 days. You should have a backup of your boot drive (no matter what you're running). With that backup in hand, I'd not get overly obsessed about it. It's a tool. Tools are meant to be used. Of course, it's a whole lot easier to replace the boot drive in a PC (vs the M1 MBP, MBA, and Mini).
