I drag and dropped a chorus/flange into the pro channel for a guitar track. I found it in fx chain/pro channel/ in the main plug in module . I thought it strange the plugin ui was "red" but it worked fine. Now I get the Missing Plugin message when loading the project. The plugin is no longer where I loaded it . So.. I can't delete it to get rid of the message. I thought it was a pro channel effect , but obviously not. Should I just ignore the message ?? I'll try and see where the plugin came from. Besides CbB , I have 3 other Sonar daws on this pc. all of them 32 bit. Thanks .... mark

"Thanks again" I believe running internet just moved further up the list.. Later ... mark

"Thanks" for the quick response , I'll take everything to my house for the updates . In the future , could I update from thumb drive, if I do it before I hit the 6mo. check in ? MS

Hello, I went into "demo mode" this morning. Is there an easy reliable way to update assistant , and Cakewalk on an offline pc with a flash drive ?? If so , I could use the details .. I will eventually run internet to my studio , but for now that's pretty low on my list. "Thanks" for any info .... Mark

I got an email the other day I think from Disc Makers. The Waves one knob "Louder" plugin is being Given away for free. Probably a few places you can get it. There is also a single knob "Louder" in the Pro Channel effects rack in Cakewalk .

Hello , Is there a "quick" way , or function to audition , or preview all the different drum kits without actually loading them into the synth ?? If not , what are your favorite kits for soft rock or pop like tunes ? Thanks ..... mark

"Very nice" I really enjoyed it. I could tell I was going to like it just looking at the waveform .. I think some Tablas' would fit in nicely for some drum variety .. Great job . mark

"Thanks" for the comments and for giving me a listen. Midi keys and cello are both new to me , wish I had more time for the cello it's a really versatile instrument for Any type music. mark

Great "Moody " song , I really liked the Feel . The tone on the lead guitar was captivating and all the backing was spot on. I also enjoyed the drums and choice of reverb on them. For me .. "Sundays" were always reserved for whitewater kayaking (in my younger years) , and I had many trips worthy of a song. Great job ... mark

Hey , Loved it ! I thought the mix and playing was great. I also think Gale "nailed" the head moves. Very cool family. mark

I don't really know where to start on this one .. That was by far the most interesting interaction between the guitars and the vocals I have ever heard. Killer vocals and yes , I did hear some "Yes" I think it was the harmony's and your vocal range . That was a Very cool ending I couldn't figure out the next move .. Great Song and production . mark

After giving up on violin , I traded it for a cello. Mainly using it for backing on singer songwriter type stuff , but I thought I'd try something different. I've been having a hard time mixing for mp3. Sounds good in my room but the online conversions have been pretty rough . Way too bassy and highs were weak. I could also hear the compression . I think I got closer in this instrumental , "any" feedback would be appreciated ... Thanks markhttps://soundcloud.com/user-810058643

Well .. he got it downloaded and installed after spring break , but getting a missing win-crt-runtime error and it won't open. Supposed to try a windows update today. I didn't want to just leave this hanging after the help I got from you .. I'm sure I'll be back .. Thanks .. mark

"Thanks" for the quick responses , you guys are great .. I have a much better understanding now . Later ... mark

If I export a pair of mono tracks , bounced to a single stereo track , do the pro channel effects export with it ? Same question with frozen tracks. (2) If a frozen track is bounced to a new track , do the pro channel effects bounce with it ? I've been doing some file sharing and tracks are sounding a little different .. Thanks .. mark

Thanks for the info . I'll bet the installer was deleted after aborting installation a few times .. I think we'll clean his pc up and start over per your suggestions. I'm sure I'll be back . Thanks .. You have all been a great help . Later .. Mark

I gave him a call , he said he downloaded from bandlab site after creating an account. Doesn't have anti virus/turned off firewall/ran assistant as Admin... I'll see him this weekend and see for myself . I may put mine on a flash drive if I can't figure it out. Thanks ... mark

A friend of mine has been trying to install CbB for days with no luck. He said the installer from the assistant spins forever or comes up with some kind of authorization faults. He's tried multiple downloads of the assistant. Does Cakewalk download with the assistant ? If I can find his Cakewalk file should the application .exe OR the config .exe be run ?? Thanks .. mark

I've asked the same question in multiple forums with no good results. I've got an AW16g that I bought new when they first came out . No usb so probably an earlier version of the 1600. It's completely silent and great for portable recording , but a "pain" for any editing. I use mine as a mixing board , just for all the inputs . It's lined out to my interface . After working inside of a pc daw , I really couldn't see using it for any other reason . I believe the majority of the reply's I got was , only the "transport functions" would work as a controller .. These are "GREAT" machines that bridged a wide gap between the analog units and pc daws. Mine was 1,100. US. so I refuse to box it up or sell it for nothing. Good Luck . Later .... mark

"Thanks" Scook , that sure was easy .. Mark

It would be a big help to be able to reference a downloaded PDF file of keyboard shortcuts , for new users and those of us that always work offline .. Mark

Hello , if I install the SSd5 Free version , is there a way to play the samples thru the "studio instruments drums" ?? There are only 2 kits with the SSd5 but a huge kit list with SI drums. Also has anyone tried the SSd5 free version ? Thanks .. Mark

Never mind ... I just found a plugin that does this. Ambeo Orbit , and I see it is mentioned in the "coffee house section. MS

I opened up google chrome this morning and the search box showed a few pages of animation you could scroll thru celebrating Steve Irwins birthday. At rest , it looked like a normal drawing. When you clicked the side arrow to move to the next one , the items in the foreground panned way Faster and Further than the items in the background . It was done with several layers sliding across to the next drawing. This created a Great 3d effect. Has anyone tried panning audio like this ?? Seems you could create a deep binaural depth effect , using only variable panning from foreground to background clips. ??? Mark
