This issue comes up quite a bit. I see a sticky in the future.

I just get a "did not complete" error for Loopmasters, etc. when I try to install them.

Yup, same thing I saw as well.

He must have clicked 'save' somewhere along the line for that to happen......

and named it ?

Im guessing you are running onboard audio ?

Which version of Windows are you using ? - WASAPI mode will yield better results if windows 10/onboard sound.

Have you run the wave profiler ?

Is the screenshot you posted from your most recent visit to Command Center?

Very recent, it was from yesterday.

They do show up in Command center. However, the products do not show up on my Cakewalks products page. I do have Sonar Platinum still installed on my PC, Probably why I still have them and thought they were still available.

It might be worth installing Sonar Platinum as well, there's some extra content that Bandlab doesn't have.

Just don't uninstall Platinum once its installed. It does have separate directory's (Cakewalk Core/Sonar Platinum) but resides with Bandlab in some ways that will remove certain folders.

Yes you can...

You need to install Command center (where Sonar platinum is). Open it and download the "Artist Instrument collection". Install it then rescan plug ins.

IF.... And I say IF you have older Sonar X1.. X2 or X3 disks.. A back up of one of those, you can do a custom install and install Session drummer 3 only.

PS - I obviously need a class in screenshots as well.

Ya that screenshot is not good. I cant see any of those titles.

Lets start with something easy (Which you probably should have been included in your opening post).

What version of Sonar did you own ?

Here's how I select Melodyne in Bandlab.

Look below/Go to *** For the Short version

Im a firm believer in keeping things nice, tidy and clean.

This means before I do any real work with Melodyne, I make sure all slip edit data has been finished and then I bounce that whole track to one large clip.. Using the "Bounce to CLIPS" function, not Bounce to tracks.

I then begin working with Melodyne by selecting ranges with the smart tool and then using CNTL+M to open Melodyne for just that selected range.

After I am finished each section, I use Bounce to Clips to render the Melodyne edits.

I repeat this process as many times as needed until im done, then I select the whole clip and use the Bounce to clips function again. This seems to keep everything in check.

*** Short version.... Use the Bounce to clips function (the whole track= Bounce it to one large clip Vs. 6 small ones)

Its a simple fix really, just reinstall Session drummer 3 from your previous Sonar Platinum installers.

You don't need to reinstall everything, just choose session drummer 3. Im using it in Bandlab with no issues at all.

Hello again. I don't see any Loop Content in the Command Center

You need to open Command Center and expand (click the little arrow) the SONAR PLATINUM tree

I do things a little different than most (no surprise there).

- I lay the idea down without a click track.

- I listen back to the idea and as long as its not a multi tempo song...

- Open Tempo tap using the Add a tempo change screen.

I remember having a Firewire mixer that was SUPER picky about what cable I could use with it. Some would just stop working entirely with it, but they would work just fine with other devices.

^^this exactly what I was referring to^^ Even though some USB Type-B cables will fit and look the same, might not work. Use the cable that came with your device.

It`s actually Right click and Drag...

That's not what I was referring to.

Its Left Click Zoom in/out using the timeline. Good luck.

Install the Focusrite drivers, when prompt, plug in the device to a USB 2 port (if first gen).

Always use this same port, don't use a USB hub, they will work for an extension but once you plug another device into the hub its simply too much information to be processed through one USB port. Especially when trouble shooting, remove a hub if one is being used.

What kind of Soundcard ? If its not ASIO try lowering the midi buffer size to 500 ?

I believe they were part of the Cakewalk Sonar content (loops/one shots) that came bundled with Sonar Platinum.

You can always download that loop content from your Cakewalk Command center and reinstall it.

Yeah mate.  I'very done all that.  Just uninstalling and reinstalling the usb drivers now.  

One thing I overlooked once (and I felt like a fool) was the USB Cable itself. It would work but intermittingly.

I also had a problem with a bad USB port once (I bent it, pinning a device cable). Trust me I've been through almost every thing in the book when it comes to this department so hang in there and we can try to problem solve it.

Absolutely the Tascam drivers. Did you get them here

https://www.tascam.eu/en/downloads/US-16x08

There's also a firmware update on that page as well.

I've plugged my USB device in to the wrong port before (this is how I know ). I speak from my own experiences/mistakes.

It WILL work sometimes but stability is a huge factor. Its simply unstable. IE - Crashes, drop outs, freezes.

I would uninstall the driver then continuously use the same USB 2 port.

But Windows is Windows and sometimes usb-ports stop to respond. Then you have to switch port to get Windows to load its usb drivers and work again.

My USB ports have never failed to respond, that could be a hardware or device issue.

What im referring to is when you install ASIO drivers for a device, you are prompt to choose a port and plug in the device. This same port must be honored in the future when plugging that device in.

You can zoom vertically using your mouse.

- Hover your mouse in the timeline until it turns into a magnifying glass.

- Left click/Drag up or down.

Make sure your plugging the Tascam in to a USB 2 port and not a USB 3 port.

Also make sure when installing drivers to always plug in to the same USB port, don't go switching ports every time.

Is it possibly you engaged "Offset mode" by accident ?
