  1. Great advice here from everyone. Go into your Windows Sounds and see if the Focusrite is the default playback and record device. I've had DAWs in the past that struggle with having more than one audio interface. Making sure my pro device was the default helped me. You also want to make sure the correct Focusrite channels are selected in CbB as the master outs, since Focusrite will have more than one channel to choose from.
  2. So, I went through several delays and then I recalled another poster reminding us about previous versions of Sonar including fx from Blue Tubes. I'd overlooked them for years because I forgot what BT meant as it's listed in my plugin manager, etc.. Well, their OilCan Delay was exactly what I was looking for on my guitar part. I put this fx on a dedicated buss and have my guitar tracks' sends pointing to the buss. Doesn't have a sync to host feature, but sometimes with delays and echos the effect can get lost to the drums if the delay is right on the beat. Easier to show you my settings than to try to explain them.
  3. Awesome input! Thanks all. I've got everything but an echoplex to try. I'll post back what I use and the settings.
  4. Hey All-- No, this post isn't on anything broken, for once!! 😉 I've got a guitar part that I'd like to have quick and short little echos cascading after each note. Should I be using an echo effect or delay? I know echo is a form of delay, but with the plethora of fx I have, how would it be categorized? I'm drawing a blank and the fx I've tried with delay sounds more like reverb than what I'm looking for. I'd like that effect that's so prevalent in many U2 songs. Thanks!
  5. Hello-- For some reason I can't increase my PRV gridline resolution above 8th notes. The follow snap resolution is turned off. When I click on the different resolution options, nothing happens to the gridlines. Not sure what I can do there.
  6. If you haven't already, or haven't recently... BACK UP YOUR MUSIC FILES NOW!!!
  7. I guess ranting here beats kicking the dog!
  8. I'm not sure how that applies where the same PCI card and mobo are in place and everything worked great with W7, then the issues started when the OS was upgraded to W10, but maybe your only referring to LasRul?
  9. I'll do a test and post back. I always thought it was by design, but with so many questions, I need to check my math. -EDIT- Well, I stand corrected. Deleting the instrument and MIDI tracks will delete the synth and drum sampler from the Synth Rack. I've been having a lot of issues since my W10 upgrade, so I'm hardly the baseline to compare to. Although, this might be the one thing that W10 did make better/fix with CbB. I have been deleting the synths from the synth rack since the OS upgrade, so it's possible that I had the anomaly with W7. I'll never know, and I'm glad it's working as designed now.
  10. This is not my experience. I noticed that synths or AD Drums 2 specifically, were loading when my project loaded even after I deleted the only instrument and midi tracks associated with it. When I went into synth rack, there it was. It might be a different setting, but I'm certain of this behavior. Would like to hear from someone else if they have this same behavior.
  11. One thing I noticed is that unless I remove a synth from the synth rack, it continues to load while the project is loading. It seems that you can delete the midi and instrument track but the synth will remain in the synth rack. If you don't want a synth in your project any longer, if you remove it from the synth rack, you will be prompted if you want to also remove the associated tracks. That's how I remove them now so my projects load faster.
  12. This happens a lot in gaming too. The game is free but if you want the fancy weapons or uniforms, you have to buy them. I would imagine that companies like MOTU and Steinberg are not too happy that a $400 program like CbB is free when it's right up there with their products - some might argue, even better. Sometimes I wonder if their employees are the ones starting these threads!!
  13. I have to add that installing CbB I didn't have any issues with my previous version of SPLAT. I wondered about CbB when it first came out, so my finger was on the mouse button to go back to SPLAT if I needed to, and I never did. So, the issues you're having are not inherent to installing CbB over SPLAT. Having said all that, I am also a huge proponent of not upgrading or making big changes to my software or computer while I'm in the middle of a project. I have paid the price too many times to do that again.
  14. Correct. I don't have any 1/8" jacks to plug in.
  15. Yes, the separate outputs in kontakt for CW on a drum kit can be a real pain. I ended up documenting the routes if you want to see what I have, let me know. I appreciate the help on my issue. If it was just the first few playbacks that dropped out, I wouldn't care as much, but I do get the occasional blip when I start recording. It's not even 1 second and I get a dropout. Then, I try again and it's fine. I just can't have that because it's interferes with the creative flow.
  16. Hey @Robert Bone 65" monitor! That's crazy!! Crazy cool that is. The spdif is the only option. I think it might have to do with the computers sound card. It detects when something's plugged into it, except for the spdif. So, without anything plugged into it that's all I've got. All the inputs and outputs are those tiny 1/8" jack ports, so I don't have anything to plug into them. I tried WASAPI shared because I didn't know what else to try.
  17. @Robert Bone Well, I can't get pass go to even pay my $200. I followed the same process = enabled the onboard audio chip in BIOS. Enabled the Realtek audio in Windows, reboot, ran the wave profiler in CW, and the Realtek device is grayed out in Windows as well as CW--so I can't test to see if it's the sound card based on my current equipment. I have an old Echo Layla 24/96, but it uses the same drivers as the current 3G model, so that wouldn't prove anything. I'm not sure where to go at this point. I hate to do what some people would do when I worked at GC and just buy stuff to use and then return it a few days later, although that sure crossed my mind. I appreciate everyone's help here. Don't know what else I can try. I did have to move to W10 for many reasons, so it's not like I would have done something differently had I known. I just sure am glad I was between projects when I did the OS upgrade.
  18. Let me repeat the above and then do a complete reboot of my system just to be sure. I'll post back. Many thanks
  19. Hello @Robert Bone and @scook After I enable the onboard sound in the BIOS, and enable the Realtec sound in Windows, and change the driver mode to WASAPI shared in CW, CW still doesn't see any other devices except my Echo Layla 3G. :-/
  20. Well, CW doesn't "see" the integrated audio when it's enabled. Not sure how to use the scan feature that Sonar had.
