I’m afraid you might have an issue that 99% of Cakewalk users don’t have. We get many threads started here with the heading “Cakewalk is Crashing Help!” And it is most always a plug in. If it isn’t it is computer or audio interfaces issues. Cakewalk on its own is not something that will crash. At least not for a long time now. You need to figure out what it is about your computer that is not the same as everyone else. I have Cakewalk on 5 computers some are as old as 2008 and it doesn’t crash on any of those unless I inset TTS-1. Which is a plug in.

Well, I got: Overheat saturator Fire Piano Bass Dyno effect Markus 88 That piano bass does a respectable Light My Fire, but that’s it I guess …

That and having parts for players. More and more I think of using the free Musescore. Udemy has a course for v3 for $10.

No. It is DAW-agnostic. As mentioned before, I export the Finale score to MIDI and then drag/import that into the DAW. Be sure to turn off "human playback" in Finale if you want quantized MIDI. I find that helpful because Finale doesn't export all the articulations, like trills, so these have too be added manually. For me, it's much easier to edit the MIDI if it starts quantized. But if I make edits to the notes/timing, I have to manually go back and insert those changes back into Finale.

Don't unnecessarily complicate this. As has already been said by a few others, simply disable it in Device Manager.

It's been discussed by the Cakewalk devs, and believe me, they would love to be able to trap errors before they take down the whole DAW. According to them, the issue isn't that it's "difficult," it's that it adds overhead. To "sandbox" (keep their operations contained) plug-ins enough to trap errors before the errors can crash or corrupt the host requires so much overhead that it would increase latency and of course resource usage. Think of how long it took Microsoft and Apple to get their OSes to be able to trap application errors and recover from them without the whole OS crashing or becoming corrupted. Windows had its Blue Screen of Death and I forget what the Mac equivalent was. Part of this was because it was, yes, hard to do, but another was that processors had to get fast enough and RAM had to get cheap enough for the overhead to be acceptable. And those conditions haven't been 100% eliminated. Remember when if one program crashed, best practice was to restart the computer entirely, even if it didn't take the whole thing down? Anything that happens between a program asking a CPU to do something and the CPU doing it (such as considering whether what it's just been asked to do will mess something up), takes time (latency). And as far as computer applications go, DAW stuff is some of the most critical as far as latency. Whatever it is that REAPER is supposedly doing, where I see so many people claiming that "I tried it in REAPER and it didn't crash," coupled with REAPER's reputation for being able to run at low latency, I'm sure the other DAW companies would love to know what it is. One of the things I dislike about the situation is the perception of finger-pointing it leads to in situations where you're trying to help someone. While it's true that "99% of the time it's a plug-in," it isn't true that it's the plug-in's "fault." The VST spec is loosely enough written that it's quite possible for both a VST host and a VST plug-in to be completely compliant with the spec, yet still not work together.

ProChannel is based on VST2

Any driver reactivating itself is still present in the system. Windows does a sweep on driver directories and will "recover" them if present on the machine. Some are pests and reinstalled just by running the app they are associated with, others can be calls to msi files associated with them. The disabling option mentioned a few times now is the best method to resolve these. I have 6 or 7 audio drivers on my machine disabled (I only use 2). Installed or not, Windows is not going to use or expose drivers when disabled.

Windows 7 =Device Manager Windows 10 & 11 = Manage Sound Devices in Windows settings/ Sound. No need to uninstall anything. Just disable. I think I’ve said this 3 times now?

99% of the time it isn't a plugin - for me. CbB can "crash" (if "crash" means any kind of upset) at will... new empty project, no plugins, no nuthin', CbB will either close on it's own or refuse to reopen when manually closed. It absolutely loves hanging out in Background Processes (where it doesn't belong) when closed improperly, requiring one to either log out of Windows or reboot the system. In this case it seems like a breakdown in communication with host hardware/software.... or something USB related.

Love this one. Got the full version but the LE also allows you to get and run the Meldway Grand for free.

Thank you! EastWest has a winner with this. A nice companion to Symphobia's Lumina, among other things.

https://sampleson.com/wursy.html I bought the Electrix and the Melox for $10 each so I got 3 high quality instruments for $20. I also have the Glassy I think I paid $20 for and it has been used a lot by me. I even was using it live.

I always get a bit nervous when Larry goes radio-silent. He usually gives us a heads up before he takes a break. I hope all is well with you.

Thank you

I still haven't delved into them myself but they do look interesting. The strength of Finale is the educational worksheets that comes with the full version of Finale. At least to me. I got Finale decades ago and have used those worksheet printouts when I was doing a little teaching. YMMV. I think there are more modern notation programs on the market now if you were starting from scratch. For my needs I pull up Finale to do my simple projects when needed. At the summer sale price it isn't to hard on the wallet.

OK I see, so you have audio track and you want to both create a tempo map and quantize it. I've run into that as well so be interested to see if it can be made to work. I've got a few old band recordings where the drums sound good but his timing was terrible. I gave up after trying Audio snap etc.

You actually don't need it to be a region FX, If you drag the Audio up to the TimeLine Rule at the top CbB will extract the timing and apply it to the Tempo lane directly. If you have Melodyne Editor or Studio you could try using the Tempo smoothing function in Melodyne to get a less jagged or jumping tempo map.

That 1.6 GB also includes the data sets necessary for UVR to work. It's not an app tied to some online service.

For several years I have thought of suggesting bringing back the old "Did you know , , , ?" panels which Cakewalk used to have at start-up time (but which could optionally be turned off a la "Don't show again"). That's what I had in mind for the "wasted space" area below the competitive stats at the top. There could even be tips about the forum ("Did you know you can edit your own posts?"). Yeah--much better than ads!!!!

I disable the nVidia HD Audio device using Device Manager.

HI john this is a very good track indeed - this sounds well recorded and mixed to me - the Sax Solo sounds very good - never heard of the program, must check it out Cool stuff Nigel

Hi! Just sparked it up for the first time this morning. Well..! First impressions are it's damn fast! Installed CW and it loads projects like lightening, perfect playback, and nice graphics. Haven't recorded anything yet. I did some online benchmark test and these were the results: https://www.userbenchmark.com PC Status Overall this PC is performing above expectations (75th percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 25 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components. Processor With an outstanding single core score, this CPU is the cat's whiskers: It demolishes everyday tasks such as web browsing, office apps and audio/video playback. Additionally this processor can handle typical workstation, and even moderate server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 96.1%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is excellent. Graphics 18.6% is a below average 3D score (RTX 2060S = 100%). This GPU can handle older games but it will struggle to render recent games at resolutions greater than 1080p. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) Boot Drive 361% is an exceptional SSD score. This drive is suitable for heavy workstation use, it will facilitate fast boots, responsive applications and allow for fast transfers of multi-gigabyte files. Memory 32GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's far more than any current game requires. 32GB will also allow for large file and system caches, virtual machine hosting, software development, video editing and batch multimedia processing.

I found what I needed here: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021858073-Listen-to-a-MIDI-file-downloaded-from-the-internet- Also, I asked because the files are located in Toontrack\EZDrummer\Midi\ and the subdirectories do not all contain midi files, therefore I didn't understand how to proceed. Now is OK!

PSP BINAMP BINSON ECHOREC SATURATION PLUGIN @ JRRShop ($41.16 with code GROUP) PSP BinAmp is a class “A” triode preamp emulation. The specific preamp's implementation is based on the legendary Binson Echorec 2 delay. Echorec 2 was one of a line of famous magnetic drum delays designed by Binson Amplifiers Company since 50s. The Echorec 2 was released in 1960 probably as the best sounding in the line. It had unprecedented quality compared to tape delays of the era, warmth and musical sound due to class “A” triode tube design of audio section and distinctive character. Although the entire machine, its sound and design was incredible PSP BinAmp grew from an inspiration of the ingenious sound of its preamplifier. https://www.jrrshop.com/psp-binamp More details (and to check your loyalty discounts): https://www.pspaudioware.com/products/psp-binamp

How? Time signatures and tempo changes are independent from the Arranger Track. After fiddling around with that a bit, I see what you mean. It's fairly easy to break, however. Here's what I mean. Here, I want a sequence that's 7/8, 9/8 then 5/8 twice. I do the time signatures first, then create the section. Then I start duplicating it so it repeats in this sequence. The first and the second do that, but... For some reason, the third one decided it doesn't want to do that. It only respects that if I duplicate the first one and only the first one. Sure, you could use Ripple Editing to do that and, while that does work, you're not safe from the same issue: Why did it do it right until bar 20, then it stopped working? Simply because I wanted to make the workflow faster and copied more than one section.

The Doors had no bass player for years. They just had Ray playing the bass line on the keys. Bit, you're pretty handy with the VST guitars, maybe you could get away with it!

Internally Cakewalk works at 32 or 64bit depending on the 64bit DPE setting. The image in the OP has 64bit DPE enabled so the DAW is running internally at 64bit. Audio clips in a project may be at different bit depths depending on how they were added to the project. Recorded clips use Record Bit Depth. Bounced/Frozen/Export use Render Bit Depth. And there is a separate setting for imported clips.

Yes. He intends to pay me back once he's settled out in Minnesota. He's a stand-up guy, always been true to his word. I could demand it back, but wtf am I going to do with an overpowered guitar amplifier? I thought about that, but it'd be a major paradigm shift and a lot of work. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a break. We've been playing out every weekend since April, as is normal for us during the summer months, after which we've historically taken time off to woodshed and work up new material. All that stage time has made us very tight, but even with our extensive song list it still gets a little tedious playing the same stuff over and over. We're also in the process of a big gear change. I've been gradually working toward an amp-less stage, using amp sims and running everything through the PA. The current PA will be repurposed as stage monitors, and eventually those will be replaced by IEMs. That means we'll have a consistent mix volume onstage regardless of the venue, and it'll always sound the same to us as it does when we're rehearsing in my garage. One master fader makes the whole band louder or quieter as needed. After the transition to IEMs we'll be able to practice silently, even right before a gig. The final pieces of the new PA are supposed to arrive over the next 5 days, starting with a sub scheduled for delivery today. Via FedEx, though, so who knows.

@cclarry We all hope you're enjoying your life, but would love confirmation. This place isn't the same with you, my friend. I hope you're doing well!
