  1. Hi, just wondered if anyone else has had this issue:

    If you right click your effects bin and select Insert Audio fx, there's usually a short list of some of the other fx that were used in the project. Quite handy but it only works "sometimes". Any one else find that?

    Correct me is I am wrong but, wouldn't using Melodyne as a tool be a destructive way of manipulating wave files?

    How would you go back and tweak something later? Isn't it also re-sampling the wave and thus possibly introducing phase and possible quality reduction issues?

    I am just wondering if I actually understand the purpose of your approach in the first place. 

    If you need to can't you just bounce Melodyne tracks to another track within Cakewalk without the need to take them out externally?

     

    I work on a copy of the wave file of course.

    Melodyne is very time-consuming to use inside of Cakewalk. I appreciate that it works that way and use it sometimes, but nine times out of 10 I'll use it as a tool and be done in a flash. Not afraid to commit things, I come from an old school of recording... we didn't always have all these modern luxuries! :)   

  3. The problem here is resolved. It was that Cakewalk's default render bit depth  somehow got got changed to 64 bit rather than 24 bit.

    Melodyne obviously couldn't deal with the 64 bit files. That's why newly imported files into Cakewalk would open in melodyne whereas if I bounced down first, they wouldn't open in melodyne because they would have been changed to 64 bit.

  4. Every time I get an update from Cakewalk I fail to remember to go and save my basic.cwt, so it removes all the settings I carefully set up including a huge synth rack full of stuff.

    Cakewalk, give the user an option to keep their settings as they are, very annoying to have to re set up all that stuff. Or show a reminder to save your basic.cwt.

    Nope.

    To start the Event Viewer, type "Event Viewer" in the search box next to the Start button. Under "Windows Logs", click on System. At the top of the event list, click on the "Level" column heading. That will group all the events by severity; you're looking for an entry with a red icon, labeled either "Error" or "Critical". As you click on each entry, a description will appear below the event list. I haven't seen a driver error here in years so I forget what to look for, but it'll reference either cakewalk.exe or your driver's DLL filename.

    Thanks! I do see tons of errors/critical problems in the list.  I'd love to learn about what this stuff is and fix it all.

    On another note, my original problem is solved, the Realtek sound card on my motherboard was somehow enabled and should have been disabled. I can load up 96 kHz at 4096 if I need to now after disabling it.

    Do you have your antivirus software either excluding the file paths to your sample libs and Cakewalk Content folders, (sometimes called Exceptions or Exclusions in the antivirus software), or you could try temporarily disable your antivirus software, and see if that helps give better stability at either 1024 or 2048.  (important to turn antivirus software back on, if you temporarily had it disabled during Cakewalk sessions).

    Thanks Bob. Yeah, I actually hate anti virus of any kind. I run Spybot manually every-so-often but don't have anything else running ever. 

    This is just immediately crashing if I try to use 2048 buffer or anything higher than 1024. I wonder if it has to do with ram allotment or page file or something like that?

  7. Hey, in the past, if cakewalk had a dropout and stopped the transport, I would get a notification down in the right hand corner of cakewalk.  Now if I dropout, the notification doesn't appear. 

    Is there some way I could have turned off notifications or something? I'd like to get more info on the dropout, like the code etc. How do I get the notifications back?

    Thanks

  8. Hey there. I use UAD Apollos via thunderbolt. I have a very involved 96 kHz session that I would like to increase my buffer size of the UAD to 2048.  However, if it try to set it there Cakewalk crashes.  I see a message about Page fault in non page area on the blue screen of death.

    Any idea what's happening here? Is it RAM related?

    Thanks

  9. Hi there, I'm bouncing a mix down internally in cakewalk. My session is at 96 kHz. At the end of the real-time render, I see cakewalk display a re-sample message "sample rate conversion" right before it draws out the wave form of the mix. Why would it be re-sampling anything if I'm using "bounce to tracks" ? I'm using a UAD system, everything  is set to 96 kHz.

    Thanks

    I don't know much about the Tools Editor, and can't add the Cakewalk reference file no matter what I tried so I guess I don't know how to use it,  but it's pretty easy to do by editing the registry. Of course, it's pretty easy to mess things up if you delete the wrong thing so to be safe it's a good idea to backup (export) the registry before deleting/changing anything if you don't have much experience doing this kind of thing. To remove a program from the Cakewalk Utility Menu:

    Run regedit (and export it if you have any doubts about doing this).

    Click Edit/Find and search for the key Tools Menu. When it is found it will look something like this. These are the items in my Utility Menu.

    Delete the one you don't want. All done. Try this method if no one explains how to do it using the Tools Editor.

    Thanks! I used to manage tools that way for sure. I just wondered if the tools editor thing did it.  I don't see any instruction on how to remove stuff with it, only to add.

     

  11. Hi, I'm having a very strange problem.

    I use Melodyne as a tool in Cakewalk. (I also use it inside CW but often prefer to use it as a tool)

    Anyhow, I have this session and any wave file I try to bring into Melodyne through the utilities menu gets rejected. Either "can't open this tool clip" or "Can't open this sample type" or something to that effect.

    If Iexport the wave to my desktop, I can open it in Melodyne fine. If I make a new CW session and bring in some audio I can open it in the melodyne tool fine. If I bounce that clip in Cakewalk though, then it won't open in Melodyne, I get the message when I try to bring it in.

    Sample rates and bit depth are the same. I can't think of any other reason CW would be altering the wave file so that Melodyne won't accept it.

    Any ideas out there?

    Cheers
