Hi

I have installed the Coolsoft Virtualmidisynth software, and it does not appear in Cakewalk by BandLab on Preferences->MIDI-> Devices to select it as a midi player.

The Virtualmidisynth works well for me in other software that I have installed, but here in CbB I do not find the form. Other times I have had it working perfectly, but I don't know what happened. 

Any help in this regard? . Thanks in advance.

Antonio

I have had that problem.  
The sound with CbB and ASIO was perfect but what was exported was reduced to a bandwidth of 300hz to 5000hz.

 All the audio settings were perfect.  

I fixed it by uninstalling in device manager, all audio devices.  I rebooted the PC, it automatically reinstalled the drives and everything was back to normal.  

(Windows 10-64 bits- fully updated).  In case it is useful to someone. 

Hi John White

Thank you very much for the information and for your research work.

I use the same procedure. I have a Roland Rubix-22 interface and for Q-Clone / Q-Capture to be related I have had to connect the input with the output of the interface using a cable.

If you want to have a better image resolution you can use Voxengo SPAN (free) instead of Q-Clone. It has more options of vision and a bigger display.

Best regards  /Antonio

No one? Not even the specialists? Has anyone used them?.

Waiting. Thanks.  /Antonio

Hi

I have seen many tutorials on Waves Q-Clone / Q-Capture in various DAW, and I am unable to replicate it on CbB.

Any help or a tutorial about it?
Thanks in advance   /Antonio

@Antonio López Zambrano - did you try setting the interleave of the track to mono before doing your clip bounce?

Hi Mark

Three different situations:

a) Waves C1 comp Mono   -->  New Track. Interleave in Stereo. Then I record. Then I add the mono plugin. Finally I pass Interleave to Mono and Bounce to Clip. Result Everything perfect.

b) FabFilter Pro-Q2 Mono  -->  New Track. Interleave in Stereo Then I record. Then I add the mono plugin and everything is blocked. Close Cakewalk with End task and rerun Cakewalk.

c) FabFilter Pro-Q2 Mono  -->  New Track. Interleave in Stereo Then I record. Now I pass Interleave to MONO, before add the plugin, then I add the plugin and finally Bounce to Clip. Result Everything perfect.

Waves allows you to add the plugin with Interleave in Stereo and with FabFilter you have to pass Interleave to Mono BEFORE adding the plugin.

Of course for the Bounce to Clip to work well it is imperative that Interleave finally be in Mono.

This is what I just tried. I hope it is useful for you.

Hi Mark

What I have checked is that if I put the Interleave in MONO before inserting the plugin everything works correctly.  Tomorrow I will check if with the plugin already placed and passing the Interleave to MONO just before the Bounce to Clip works or not.  

I try it and I tell you the result tomorrow.

Many thanks Matthew.

Thanks for the input folks. Sorry I've been slammed with some other stuff but will investigate this soon. 

We are waiting, Noel. Thank you.

FabFilter recommends against using their mono plug-ins in new projects. Here is an example from the Pro-DS help

 

Thanks scook.

I have had issues with the mono/stereo plugins such as the PRS Mono/Stereo.  Supposed to be able use them in mono or stereo but even with the interleave set to Stereo the plugin stays mono. The plugin works as expected in stand alone mode.  There is no stereo version of the PRS, only mono or mono/stereo.

I had started a thread but thought I’d bring it back up with this thread getting more traffic.

I’m not sure but try it (from the manual)

”A mono VST plug-in will work correctly if Enable Mono Processing is checked in the VST Plug-in Properties dialog box and the track interleave is set to mono.
Note: Enable Mono Processing is enabled by default in Cakewalk. If you are playing back a legacy project in Cakewalk and notice the project does not sound the same, try to disable Enable Mono Processing for any mono plug-ins used in the project”.

Try to uncheck this. Luck.

If I do this I don't get a hang, it just takes a very long time to process a tiny (4 bar) audio clip then when it comes back the audio engine is completely borked.  It won't stay on and the play transport is all messed up.

But it actually seems to depend on how you make the mono track, which may be why I didn't see it yesterday.  If I start a blank project, add an audio track with the + button and select the left channel of my audio input to make a mono track, if you look in the track inspector the Interleave is stereo. If you toggle that to mono before you do the bounce, it seems to work fine.  But if you leave it set to stereo it goes off the rails.  All the tests I did before I toggled the interleave as part of making the mono track. 

Indeed Matthew, there is the problem.

If before you insert a mono plugins you change the INTERLEAVE to MONO the problem no longer occurs and everything works fine.

I have always wondered why this DAW does not include, like others, the possibility of adding a MONO track that will automatically place the INTERLEAVE in MONO. Anyway, taking the precaution of doing it manually, the problems are over.

Thanks for your tests. Let's wait and see what Noel says.

@Noel Borthwick - I've managed to reproduce it using Waves Scheps 73 Mono:

• Record a mono guitar track
• Insert Waves Scheps 73 Mono in the effects bin 
• Select the whole track
• Right click on the clip, and Bounce to clip(s)

I'll PM you the location of the minidump. 

Hi Mark.

In effect, this is how the problem occurs.

I have been with him for a long time even with Sonar Platinum and by chance I noticed that it was only produced in Projects with Mono Plugins. I did the test and voila! there was. I record guitar + BT and that's why it almost always happened to me. Thank you for the tests.

@Antonio López Zambrano which plugin are you specifically seeing this issue with? If there is a demo or free version available can you share a simple project with me so I can try and reproduce the issue?

Hi Noel. 

I use Waves and FabFilter plugins.

I have uploaded a Dump file and I have described my problem in the special issues page with reference number 209597.

I have done everything you advised me in the EMail that I received, I installed the Cakewalk by BandLab in a new Windows 10 and it is repeated the error (Or hang up or "The audio engine has stopped ....."). I can solve it by not using MONO PLUGINS.

I use Windows 7 and Windows 10 on an Intel 4 Core i5-3470 at 3.2 Ghz and 8 Gigabytes of RAM.

Many thanks Noel. Regards  /Antonio

Many thanks Grem and Matthew.

I have opened an issue in BandLab and I have sent two Crashes files and ScreenShot of the event.

I appreciate your collaboration.

I was talking about MY problem because it could be mine alone since I have not seen anything similar about it in the forum. I will have you informed in case it is of your interest.

Hi

After many years of hanging problems in both CPLA and CbBL since it was born, I think I discovered MY problem after several days after a suspicion that appeared by chance. (My OS is Windows 7 and Windows 10, with the same problem in both).
I discovered that these crashes occurred after doing a Bounce to Clip on tracks recorded in MONO (Input Left) and only if I had placed a MONO PLUGIN on any track. (Fabfilter, Waves, etc., etc.).
Track recorded in MONO -> MONO Plugin -> Bounce to Clip on this track or on any other track -> Hang up.
By replacing the PLUGIN MONO with its STEREO version, the problem does not happen again.
I have done many tests on old and new projects and the solution is final.
I do not know if this problem has happened to others, maybe not, but that was my problem and I have seen the light.
I make it public in the forum in case it can be a help for someone.
Best regards  /Antonio

Hi msmcleod

Thank you very much for your didactic help.

I believe that everything has been solved.

I have been doing tests since yesterday I have configured as "Elastique PRO" instead of "Elastique Efficient" and so far everything is fine.

I have also tried with "Radius Mix Advanced" and it is also good. Apparently my problem was in the default option "Elastique efficient". This problem was the only one that did not let me move forward with Cakewalk by BandLab. Now I'm happy.

Thanks again for your help.

Greetings  /Antonio

I have both installed (Platinum and CbBL) and use Platinum because I find a problem with CbBL.  

After shortening / lengthening an audio clip with CTRL + SHIFT, when doing the Bounce to Clip I deform the wave.  

The result is not like the sample (shortened or elongated) but distorted to the eye and to the ear.  This has never happened to me with Platinum.  

If someone has a solution I would appreciate it.  Regards. /Antonio (sorry for my google-english).
