  2. Most people put the track one either first in the chain on every track or last in the chain on every track. Then put the bus version on your master bus. After that switch between console types on the master bus (assuming you have all the tracks grouped to the same one) to see which flavor you want for your production. Unless you have it on all tracks and have more than a track or two, the effects are going to be super subtle. Each option more or less provides little variations in EQ curves/Saturation/Stereo imaging. It isn't meant to dramatically alter the sound/mix.

  3. Plugins get replaced by other plugins. Cakewalk has been the only software constant in my music production over the last 20 years.

  7. They were being impersonated by the hacker in a fake collaboration scheme, I spoke to Jay Lichty by phone and he verified that his company was targeted before. The weight of responsibility falls entirely on myself for overriding my gut. I have a lot to share on this once things are up again. In short, the hackers have to hack you first before they can hack your system. Jay and his wife at Lichty guitars are doing some amazing things for musicians and their community. It is very sad to see them exploited and misrepresented like this, The story continues and I am praying for a happy ending soon. Seeing this is over a weekend I do not expect much movement until Monday. Until then, stay joyful 😀 Simeon

  9. Hello everyone, I am sorry for not chiming in sooner, it has been a bit of a mess to say the least. In short, I fell prey to a classic collaboration phishing attack, the most convincing I had ever seen. The hackers were posing as Lichty Guitars and wanted me to select one of their custom made instruments to inbox and share my experiences in a video. The communication looked legit and did not give me a reason to doubt the authenticity, but their trap was about to be sprung. Thursday about 12:00 pm EST, I opened an application from them (the impersonator) that was able to steal what I believe were my SESSION COOKIES, giving them a way to bypass the usual Two Factor Authentication I had set up. Things happened very quickly from there. After closing my computer we went out and on our way I get a Two Factor Prompt that someone was trying to log in from the Netherlands. I clicked NO This Is Not Me, but the damage was done. I tried pulling over to try and change my password but they had already gained access and locked me out. The next thing was my wife gets a notification that “I” just started a livestream, but it was “TESLA” and something to do with cryptocurrency. Needless to say I turned the car around and headed back home to see if there was anything I could do. I immediately started to try and change passwords for other sensitive accounts using the Gmail account associated with my channel. I also made contact by phone with the real Lichty Guitars (which I should have done in the first place) and verified that this was indeed a scam and that they have been targeted before. I also Tweeted my situation tagging YouTube Creators as that was really the only option to get any type of support. Email, chat, of course phone options were non existent. After a little while, I received a direct message on Twitter giving me a way to submit an account recovery form. I filled out the information and then all I could do was wait. Time passes (it is later Thursday), and I get an email saying my account has been recovered. So I immediately go and change passwords and work on doing malware scans to eliminate any possible threat that might still be on my system. I then see that I could now login to my channel to start cleaning up the mess. When this type of hack occurs, usually nothing on the channel is deleted, they will set all of the videos to PRIVATE and change other meta data, channel icon, and channel name. I did a bulk edit to mark my videos to public again and tried to get my channel name and icon set back to normal. Things were looking fine UNTIL I get an email from YouTube saying that now my channel had been TERMINATED! This was something I never expected but now it seems that this was possibly in response to viewers seeing something was wrong on the channel earlier and reporting it to YouTube as a precaution. So back to Twitter as well as following up with replies to earlier emails from YouTube partner support. Now I wait…….. I did get a response from YouTube late last night assuring me that they are working on getting things resolved, so I am hopeful that will be soon. In the mean time, I ordered a YUBIkey which is a hardware two factor device that ironically was what the hackers were using to prevent me from logging in or regaining access to my account. I am also working through making sure I changed passwords on other platforms that might be vulnerable. So, many lessons learned and wake up call received. The biggest one is not fully trusting that little voice saying, why would a guitar company want you to do a video, you don’t even play guitar 😂😂😂😂 I laugh a little now but with a deep regret that this happened in the first place, costing me a lot of lost time trying to fix a mess that could have easily been avoided. I have to say that I have received so much support from the community and that has been such a comfort and encouragement. Also, by sharing what happened to me maybe someone will be spared the headache that I am dealing with now. I will keep everyone posted as the events continue to unfold. You can follow me on Twitter @praisetracks if you are on that platform but I will be here as well. Staying joyful, Simeon

  12. For anyone who may be interested in New Nations offerings, this free collection also comes with a $25 gift card in the "Bonus" download file. The text file states that the minimum cart value must be $25 to apply the coupon -- I was able to add the coupon with a lower total, but I didn't try checking out in that state. The free bundle is made largely of construction kits (20 total), drum kits (20 with hits, loops and MIDI) and MIDI (chords and melodies), with bonus generically-named "drums" and "instruments" VSTIs that I haven't tried out. (Samplers from their range of VSTIs, perhaps?) With the $25 code, it's possible to additionally get one of their "ultimate MIDI" packs for free, or one or two sample packs/VSTIs in some combination for $1 or less, depending on your interests. Or, obviously, $25 off something pricier. The NN store includes a few products from other developers (Infinit, Pyrit, Double Bang, possibly others), which appear to be eligible under the code, as well.

  13. The Cakewalk Plug-in Manager documentation covers how to manage its preset files. These files use the spp extension. The documentation is installed with the software. It is in chm format. The help button in the bottom right on the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager UI opens this documentation.

  15. My age touchstone was being a teen when American Graffiti came out and thinking how funny and strange the music and the styles were back then. Then along came That 70s Show and I realized kids probably thought the same about the styles and music of my teen years. However, maybe it is just me but I don't think DSotM sounds as dated as say Bill Haley and His Comets.

  17. If you're missing any part of the UI, it's likely hidden by a Workspace. Try using Advanced from the dropdown box in the top right of the screen. This is also likely your toolbar issue as well since it's applied at startup. So you'd set that to None or you would save your layout as a New Workspace.

  19. @icu81b4 / @SketalDaz - in the next release, the "Freehand Smoothing" menu will be renamed to "Automation Smoothing" and will apply to both freehand drawing and recording automation. So: Smooth - will have the current behaviour, creating a smoothed approximation of the recorded automation. This works well for volume automation recording. As Drawn/Recorded (Jumps) - The recorded automation points are left exactly as they were recorded/drawn. As Drawn/Recorded (Linear) - The position/values of the recorded automation points are left exactly as they were recorded/drawn, but are joined together by a linear line. This is a compromise between Smooth and As Drawn/Recorded (Jumps). Use this if you're experiencing a stepping effect with "As Drawn/Recorded (Jumps)".

  25. There is a long thread over at Cakewalk by Bandlab - Creative Sauce Group where we discuss how the (proprietary?) "Preset" dropdown menu in Cakewalk (the one on the upper left of the window) does not show any presets - you have to click on the "Presets" button to find and load one. To make things worse, once you do load one, there is no indication of the Preset you just loaded! This example shows Sonitus but it also happens in Brainworx plugins (and likely many others)? Feel free to load one up and test/see for yourself. Here is the thread: https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativesaucecakewalk/posts/6015534545177705/?comment_id=6017439164987243&reply_comment_id=6019188754812284&notif_id=1673906687627792&notif_t=group_comment_mention I also found a discussion about it on this Forum as well: Make VST3 Presets available from the Presets menu I vote that this should be (ideally) addressed in an upcoming (the next :^) release. Alternatively, if possible, perhaps Cakewalk programmers can make available a utility to convert VST Preset files/formats (or the Sonitus INI files/formats) into the Cakewalk SPP format so they could be exported/imported easily and appear in the native Preset drop-down. I'm not a programmer, so my apologies if this type of utility would be difficult/impossible to make. I'm new to working with plugins/presets, etc. so if I'm overlooking something obvious or there is a known solution I've not yet found please let me know!

  28. They always seem to put this one on sale at the worst time for me. I've been meaning to pick it up but every time they have a sale I have other financial priorities, Like surgery, ugh! It's not like I need it though since I already have Atlas 2, XO, drumvolution, Battery 4, EZdrummer, Addictive drums, Drumvolution, Some Ujam drums, All the drums in Komplete Ultimate etc... It's probably a good thing it's only on sale when I can't spend money.

  42. I always prefered the WAVES one (it does let you setup a bus and then easily switch between the options and make adjustments without having to do a track by track). But liked the Cakewalk idea of having it in the pro-channel with the abilty to set it up across tracks pretty quickly and no seat limits.
