  1. Ignore, figured it out. Had my monitors set up as outputs 3/4 instead of 1/2. Facepalm moment there!
  2. Ah, yes, now you mention it, it was instrument tracks that I used to use as they combined the two! all coming flooding back now! Thanks for the help, appreciated!
  3. Ah, think I may have just solved this one. Do I need to create an Audio track, then have the input of the audio track as the MIDI track? I'm sure I used to just have a MIDI track before, but my memory isn't great!
  4. Hi all Been a few years since I've recorded anything - about 6 to be precise! Although I've always updated the software with the intention of recording, but just never get round to it. Anyway, got some time today to have a play and hit 2 walls already (will create 2 threads to not confuse things), likely to be related to my interface, but hoping you guys can help here So my setup is Cakewalk Bandlab (original bought X1 I think, and upgraded right through to latest version, Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 interfacen and Adam A3X monitors. Previously I used an M-Audio Oxygen 49 MIDI keyboard to record any MIDI parts with. Nice and simple, plugged directly into my PC via USB, selected an input on a MIDI track, loaded in an instrument and voila, I had sound. I've since moved to a Yamaha Portable Grand NP30, which doesn't have a USB connection, but instead a MIDI port. I've then connected my Yahama MIDI to my Focusrite via a MIDI cable, in settings of Cakewalk, set MIDI input as the Focusrite and within a MIDI track, selected the input as MIDI Omni from the Focusrite (and loaded up various instruments to test). When I hit a key, I can see on the dB meter, it's registering, but I'm getting no sound come through. I've changed the 'Input Echo' on both 'On' and 'Auto Thru' (the only 2 options) but still nothing. Tried loading up other programs (Rapture, Play etc.), but all the same result of silence. Probably an really easy solution that's staring me in the face, but 6 years away, and I'm a little rusty. Any ideas?

On my old PC, I've have the monitors set at 0dB and control the output levels from the 'Monitor' dial on my interface. I'm now on a different PC and the 'Monitor' dial seems to do nothing, and the output is incredibly loud! I've had to turn the actual monitors down to 1 notch above 'Off'. I can turn the 'Monitor' dial right down on my interface, and the volume remains the same, looks like it's purely managed by the dials on the monitors themselves. I suspect this is a setting I've missed (or forgotten about in Scarlett MixControl, or something within Cakewalk itself. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
  6. Hi, first post (I think!) on the "new forums" ... mainly becuase I've done done much musically over the last 5/6 years! Anyway, my old PC pretty much gave up, wou;dn't boot, kept attempting to fix errors etc., new PC all set up, all programs installed and authorised (including Cakewalk) and everything was good. Having gone through the settings of a lot of the programs I use, I got most back to how I like them, except Cakewalk. I've managed to reinstal Windows on my old PC and can see all my old installations in the Windows.old folder (X1 through to SPLAT). Is there a way I can access my preferences (you know, Adio Devices, Playback and Recording, MIDI Devices, Customisation etc.), to move across to my new PC? I've set up the easy stuff, such as VST paths, project templates etc., most of which I salvaged from Windows.old - but it seems I need to actually open Sonar/Cakewalk to access the preferences to mirror across? Thanks
