  3. Very interesting 🧐 We we’re able to pick up a Samsung 50” 4K UHD television for Christmas and it is amazing. We had been using a 42” Samsung 3D TV for years. It is still 1080p but since it is a 3D television, it has a 120hz refresh rate. It is one of the Samsung models that required the 3D LCD shutter glasses to work. I moved it into the studio to see how it would work. It is Huge compared to the smaller monitor I had there before. I need to get it back more on the wall to make sure I can handle it being so close and so HUGE 😂I still have the mounting arm attached to the wal so once I remove that I can get a better idea. Did I mention, this is a HUGE difference, but cool that you can really see what’s going on. Joyfully! Simeon

  5. If you have The Orchestra Essentials, you could buy the Upgrade to "The Orchestra" for $199, and take $40 off making it $159...then buy the upgrade to "Complete" for $199, use the $40 code again, AND use the Best Coins you received for purchasing the first upgrade, and that makes it about $150...so a total of $309, which is $30 cheaper than buying "The Orchestra Complete upgrade from Essentials" for $379 less the $40 making that $339.

  7. The primary use for offline/real-time rendering is to include audio from external hardware FX or synths while bouncing. In line with what Mark said, I have encountered very few issues with fast bouncing of VSTs and they were never subtle. Some could be resolved by raising the buffer size or setting a non-zero value for BounceBufSizeMsec in the Config File to override the real-time value which is the default for offline rendering. I've had this set to 20 (milliseconds) for years, and have not had a problem rendering Iris 2, but I've only used it in a couple projects. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=INI_Files.6.html Also, since you mention automation, there is a setting for how fine a resolution is used to process parameter automation that may have bearing: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.033.html

  9. While I shared this deal, I wasn't sure I was going to buy Trackspacer. But after all of the recommendations -- especially when people shared how this is useful for those not very practiced at mixing (Bitflipper's quote), I thought it sounded like a good fit. So thanks, everyone. I chose Cherry Audio CA2600 as the gift freebie along with my purchase and after playing around with it this morning-- it's a lot of fun. I really like it and would recommend checking it out before the deal is over (you can get it with any Plugin Boutique purchase). The freebie ends tomorrow -- and I think the Trackspacer sale does too -- so if you're interested, act soon.

  22. I only clicked to see what it was, but wow, the graphic they use is a mess. At this point, 8Dio has so heavily discounted just about every library, that they've trained the market that their retail prices don't mean much. It's a lot like Waves. When you know a plugin is constantly going on sale for $29.99 USD, it no longer makes the retail list price of, say $299 USD, seem like the product's actual value.

  32. Happy New Year Cakewalkers ! . . . here's a new original, and it got way more than "With a Little Help from my Friends" . . . fellow forum member Mark Alan Skinner, who modestly claims to just play second fiddle on this one , but the acoustic guitars, harmony vocals, some lyrics, and that amazing Cello creation are all him ! I really enjoyed working on this with Mark, hope you enjoy listening.

  34. You actually have more activations than from Deskew (it’s either Windows or Mac or pay more for dual license). The Deskew version bundles some plugins (TH-U and other freebies) but they’re more as examples than anything. You can always install the Deskew version to get those plugins. The templates are different to integrate the PA plugins. Aside from that, feature-wise, they’re the same.

  37. Earlier this year I thought I remember a video where Vojtech was being interviewed by Plugin Boutique and they aluded to one of the biggest revolutions is yet to come.....literally called the mixing revolution Start watching somewhere around the 2:10:00 mark or so where they talk about the pipe line of stuff to come. (2:14 or so they talk about that one specifically)

  38. Your system exceeds the specs of the Dell laptop I'm retiring and it's able to run Cakewalk just fine, even with multiple orchestral instruments. The only issue I can see is that the processor is only a 2 core (4 virtual). DAW's like as many cores as they can get. Is what it is, though. I'm good at Windows and BIOS tuning, which leads to my computers being from the stone age yet still able to do DAW and NLE work. I just renovated an old Gateway(!) Core 2 Quad system to give to a friend. It runs Cakewalk just fine with 8G of RAM and SATA III SSD, and an older nVidia Quadro, The 1TB SSD is a very good idea. That 5400 hybrid spinner is the biggest bottleneck on your system. Install the SSD before you install Windows 10. My favorite price:performance brand of SSD's is Silicon Power. You can probably get one on Amazon for $50 and have it tomorrow. Write down your Windows product key before you burn down the old installation. You can probably install and activate Windows okay without doing that, but be sure. At some point, laptops started using motherboard license keys, but yours is kinda old. Probably had a key for Windows 8? If you can cram 16 or 12G of RAM in it, do so. The more RAM the merrier, and 16G is about the "don't be concerned about how much RAM you have" point these days. But my old Latitude only has 8G and is fine for DAW work and even Vegas Movie Studio. Once you get the system put together and Windows 10 installed, it will do its thing of sending a buttload of telemetry to Microsoft. This settles down after about 24 hours. During that time, the system will be unnaturally slow, so don't worry. To get your processor to spin up to 3GHz and stick around that point, enable Turbo and Speedstep in your BIOS (and check with Lenovo to make sure you have the latest BIOS). Turbo is a must, Speedstep may or may not help. Turn off C States. Use Task Manager (or better still, HWINFO) to monitor where your processor's clock is hovering. Make sure that hyperthreading is also enabled in the BIOS. In your advanced power settings, set your processor's minimum and maximum speeds to 100% while on charger. This will make for a lot of power eating, so if you are planning on doing a lot of DAW work on battery, you can set it that way for battery as well but expect reduced battery life. Better to just bring your charger with you when you want to get your DAW on. Get whatever system and video driver packages you can from Lenovo's site (the video driver and chipset drivers are the most important). Then you can go around to the sites for Intel and Realtek and so on to pick up the latest drivers (although Windows 10 is pretty good about hunting down drivers, just check in Updates for optional updates). Exclude your Cakewalk project folder and VST/3 folders from Defender's realtime malware scanning. After you do all that, run LatencyMon and see if there is anything tripping your system up. My new(er) Latitude 7480 is notorious for getting hammered by ACPI.SYS, so I had to track down a workaround setting for that. A "clean" installation of Windows 10 is fairly free of crapware, but it does enable some things like Skype and Meet and XBox that I'm not interested in on my laptop. You can uninstall Skype and use the Services app to disable the XBox stuff if you don't want them running. If you want to get even fancier, Process Lasso is a good way to monitor what processes are running in the background and take control of them. Do all this stuff and your Lenovo should work quite well for audio recording and even mixing. If you've gotten used to it with the 5400 hybrid spinner, you will be blown away by how fast it boots and starts programs and loads projects with an SSD and a fresh install of Windows. It'll be like getting a whole new laptop. (all bits of software that I mentioned are freeware)

  39. There was a page on iZotope's site that was selling upgrades from Ozone 10 Advanced to MPS 5 for the low, low price of $149. I learned about it from this site's Coffee House/Deals subforum. I bought it at that price....even though I didn't already own Ozone 10 Advanced (I did have Neutron 3). All licenses showed up in Product Portal. I called it Schroedinger's Deal; my (tongue in cheek) theory was that since MPS 5 includes Ozone 10 Advanced, at some point during checkout the purchaser both owned and didn't own an Ozone 10 license, which ended up qualifying them for the "upgrade." Even though I have sworn off buying more mixing plug-ins, I kind of had to get that collection of suites and individual FX at that price. Even just getting VocalSynth and Stratus/Symphony and Neoverb and RX 10 would have been worth the outlay. I've had their Elements collections and Phoenix/Nimbus and R2/R4 for years, although I hadn't used the Elements suites in quite some time. My own mixing/mastering skills finally surpassed the wizards and presets in the Elements suites and I've bought individual plug-ins that I prefer. The Exponential reverbs are simply the best I've ever heard. A month later, things got even crazier, iZotope had a sitewide discount of 25%, which people were able to apply to that glitch deal, thereby dropping the price to $111. No regrets here; I think pulling the trigger at $149 was a wise move. Similar "legit" deals later appeared at Pluginboutique, although not quite as generous. I think $189 to upgrade from any iZotope product. iZotope left the page up for over a month, surely they must have known of its existence. For all I know it may still be active. Companies do odd things toward the end of the year to make the books look good. It may have been a sneaky way to extract money from cheapskates/deal hounds like me without harming their standard pricing.

  40. 2022 is hands down the year I’ve invested in the most plugins. Purchased a Waves bundle and then purchased all the PA plugins, not to mention Reason extensions, Plugin Boutique, Audio Plugin Deals, Audio Deluxe, SSL, Melda, Arturia, etc etc. Plain and simple… My resolution is to start using what I have and start making and finishing music. No more excuses for me

  41. To everyone in this forum, the OP is Japanese guy, so I will write in easy-to-understand Japanese that he can understand easily, I guess. 日本の方とお見受けしましたので日本語でコメントします。 まず、画面中央に瞬間的なメッセージが連続して表示される件について 音声再生にはオーディオインターフェースを使用していますか? それとも PC 内蔵の Realtek HD 等ですか? 何度も表示されるポップアップメッセージは Cubase 等の Steinberg 製品をインストールする際、抱き合わせでインストールされる「Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver」に起因しているようですので、システムから「Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver」を排除する事をお勧めします。 下記スレッドで似た症状について scook が回答しています。 具体的には、レジストリ【HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO】配下にある「Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver」のエントリを削除する事で、システムから隠蔽する事ができます。(それで Cakewalk が正常な動作に戻るはずです) レジストリ編集時はバックアップをとってから慎重に行って下さい。 最後に、Cakewalk がプラグインを認識していない件については、環境設定 → ファイル - VST プラグイン の設定内容(スクリーンショット)を共有してみて下さい。
