Are these the super antiquated Direct X Plugins that didn't even come with Sonar X3?    

(other than the Channel Tools, which is cool for those that don't have them).

 

😂 Lol, I thought they looked extremely dated. I didn't want to say because I thought it would be rude 😂 

It's really cool that's you're adding new plugins. Would love to see more down the road! 

I agree with what you said in this thread tbh. Its interesting that you mention ik media because I'm pretty sure that they have a decent relationships with the cakewalk devs, considering that I've seen some of the developers on this forum. Maybe they can make a special "cakewalk edition" or something lol. 

I think it would be awesome if cakewalk collaborated with the guys that made sitala. One of the problems that I have with cakewalk is that the workflow isn't the best for those who make electronic music or hip hop imo, but if the Devs could work with them and integrate the vst seamlessly with CBb's workflow, that that would be awesome. Maybe something like logic pro's 10.5 update would be cool

Anyways, I don't use this as my primary daw and since it's free, we can't complain too much 😊

Hey CbB´s 

I´m using Sitala as a Sampler for weeks now and i´m very impressed of this Free NOT ONLY Drums Sampler. !

I like the possibilities in Sitala i have.
Can import any kinds and lenghts of Samples into it and edit multible them direct in the VSTs Window and the Knobs.
After the imports and editings, i can save it as my own Kit !! Thats what i like most in Sitala.
You should have a look at this Plug-In
Follow this Link:https://decomposer.de/sitala.html

All the best ....

Free samplers are good, especially the one you mentioned but I think a built in one that's more oriented towards the workflow of cakewalk would be better. The sampler in ableton fits well with abletons workflow for example

Any meta-data embedded with the kick sample?

Does it happen with any kick sample... or just a particular sample/library?

If you're talking loops, they're being time stretched/compressed to match the current project's tempo.

Looks as if the kick wav forms cannot be downloaded here in the forums, have I been doing it wrong or is there another way?

bad kick.wav               Zetta kick is what happens before and bad kick is hat happens when I drag the kick onto the playlist 

Zetta_Kick13.wav

I think this bug has been in cbb ever since I used it. I wanted to record it using my screen recording software but for some reason theres no audio when I play back the footage

So everytime I would drag a kick onto the play list it would distort and stretch. Not sure how this is caused but any help would be appreciated!

Native Instruments Battery 3 & Battery 4 can do as requested.

True, but those plugins are quite expensive think a built in sampler in cakewalk would be better 

Nice! Any word on when the official release will be out? 

So, every time I would try and log onto the bandlab assistant to test the new update,  it would show this screen 

Do you guys have a fix for this? 

Thanks 

Hmmm... I think once that true sounds studios guy finishes his new studio and starts making tutorials alot of people will watch  and as a result his channel might gain some traction! 

I think the  key to a good daws success is to make it a good all rounder for all kinds of music producers. Like logic pro is very versatile when it comes to it. Has professional recording artists to electronic music producers using it! 😀

The media browser in CbB will display anything the OS permits.

 Because there are no predefined links in the media browser to where ever these samples are stored, it is necessary to navigate to the folder using a combination of the Up one level button (G in the image) to move up the directory tree and click folder names in the browser to go into a directory. To add to the Content Location menu (C in the image), click the Save Content Location icon (L in the image).



The media browser usually only shows file types recognized by CbB. It is possible to see all files and folders by select the option under Views on the Browser menu (B in the image)

For more info on the media browser see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Browser.03.html

 

 

Thanks scook! got it working  had to press the views browser as you said

Heya! Cakewalk does have a built in browser to browse your sample folder which is nice, however, there are certain directories that i am not able to access. Most of my samples that i use are located into the program files (x86) folder but for some reason, I am unable to access this even though in other daws i am able to.  Is there way to fix this so the directory can appear?

Thanks in advanced!

Idk what sequencer view is. Console view? Have you hidden the midi tracks in the console view?

H should show hidden tracks.

 

I mean the view in which you usually see your midi tracks. I pressed h and nothing has changed unfortunately

When i press h, it brings up this window. what do i press?

For some reason, when I add a midi track it won't appear in the sequencer view but only in the mixer. It's kinda weird, do u guys know how to solve this? Thanks! 

Also, here's the quote that I'm specifically talking about from the employee 

"Nobody will open their wallet for "we fixed a bunch of sh*t" but they will for "shiny new button that makes music". That is a flaw with selling one version each year. With rolling updates all of that went away and more effort went into fixing long standing bugs. The last 3 years of SONAR imo were the best years of SONAR for stability and effort applied to bugs."

Another guy complaining about Cakewalk:

This one is different, since it has been done by a long time Cakewalk user. I am starting to think that the previous owners (Roland & Gibson) did very little for improving the software. Bandlab seems to be pushing the things in the right direction.

There was a interview that I've seen on reddit of one of the guys who was with Gibson at the time and when he was asked about the bugs he said something along the lines of "people don't get drawn in by bug fixes, they get drawn in by new features". I'm new to this daw, but from what it seems, Gibson focused more on adding new features to draw people in rather than making the programme more stable. Here's the thread to see what I'm talking about

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I would rather see the time spent on fixing bugs and updating the core program.  Some of the editing features in CbB are confusing, buggy and "clunky" and could be greatly improved.

Yh i agree! The piano roll does feel clunky at times, sometimes the keyboard shortcuts don't even work

Are you new to this daw like I am?

You can use a resource editor to extract & repaint the graphics.

Oh really? How'd u do that? 

The sonitus plugins are really good but they look a bit dated imo. I don't think they've had a makeover in years so I think maybe updating them to look more modern could be nice what do u guys think? 

Yeah I agree man... There isn't a whole lot to work with, expecially if you make electronic music like myself.  If they include at least a basic subtractive synth or rapture session, then I think that would be better. 

Also,  are you new to this forum or did u come from the old one? 

heya! I've been playing around with this daw for a while now and one thing that i do think could be improved is the step sequencer. I think there should be a way to either directly drag in audio samples onto the sequencer or to have some sort of sampler put individual samples into. I also think that you should be able to mix these samples individually when you put them into the step sequencer. what do you guys think?

let me know in the comments!

Thanks! It worked!
