Hi and thanks for the responses. Yes the time signature is correct in the project as 6/8 but strum session is using 4/4 for some reason, even when synced to host.  Yes, I've had a very good look at the manual, and a lot of their online tutorials too, and though they say abut the time signature needing to be set at the beginning, there's no mention of how to actually set it. 

Hi, can anyone tell me how to change the time signature to 3/4 timing in this VST please ?

Many thanks

thank you 

I love some of these themes - could someone tell me how to import them

i've clicked and downloaded a couple but don't know how to get them into cakewalk

terrific, thank you 

Me again, sorry to keep asking questions but I really want to get to grips and start using it.

On Bandlab version, the piano roll has a black background - does anyone know how to change it to white please ?

thanks in advance

I've loaded up the Bandlab version of cakewalk but the TTS synth is distorting - it starts off ok then goes doolally after a few minutes

does anyone have any ideas why please?

Thanks Terry, I contacted them and its now sorted.

I'm trying to use the finally start using the  Bandlab version but having problems !!

When I load up a project its fine to start, then after a few minutes it starts to become so distorted that I'm have to shut down and start again. Ive loaded it onto my laptop  and it happens on that too??

Any suggestions advice would be appreciated

many thanks

I have had to reinstall Melodyne as I have finally started using the the Bandlab version of cakewalk.

BUT its told me that because I have done this recently I'm not allowed to!!!

  I have a desktop and a laptop - so I deactivated the desktop, thinking it would then let me use the space - but no... even though my second device is now 'unused'

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to activate a second computer

Please can anyone help?

Hi,  I'm finally trying to get to grips with the Bandlab version of Cakewalk (I previously used Platinum) but it seems to have a lot less in terms of VSTs

 I  use SI string section but I can find no reference to it anywhere 

Can anyone tell me if that because its just not available anymore?

And, if that's the case can anyone recommend a reasonably prices VST for strings please?

Many thanks in advance

sorry, I don't know what CbB is ... Cakwalk by Bandlab?   its not installed on the pc and i cant install it as i cant get onto the cakewalk website

And I don't know how to obtain a download for my addons like Dimension pro - I have all my serial numbers etc and  etc but cant get onto the cakewalk site to download the various VSTs

Thanks Scook, I've now downloaded the Bandlab version.

Sorry to be a pain but would you also know about the Dimension Pro sound card and the add-ons that were available with the original Platinum ?

I bought Sonar Platinum when it was owned by Cakewalk.  My computer had died and I'm trying to download onto another.    I went to the website and realised I was registered under an old email.   So I edited my email to a current one and it said it was sending me a verification email . This has not been received and it now won't let me enter my account using my old email.

 Can anyone help please?

Or suggest another way I can download my products

Many thanks

Hi, I bought Platinum a couple of years ago.  I didn't get the CD I just downloaded it from the site, it came with some addons that I use a lot, like the dimension pro VST and some others. I also purchased Melodyne, which I want to continue using. 

Does anyone know:    Is the Bandlab version the same as the version that I bought - can I still use the extras that came with it and my version of Melodyne ?

If not, is there anyway I can get a hard copy of the version I purchased,  because I live in fear of having a crash and not being able to download it again

Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for responses I will have a look for a program to use

Hi, I have been composing music via cakewalk for  20+ years but I can’t read/write music, I work exclusively with the piano roll and my ears.

I have  written  a lot in the style of musical theatre and have been involved in some original amateur productions.

One of our plays is receiving some interest from a semi professional drama company. And they are asking, not only for a CD of songs but also for a musical score.

Now, I know that you can print from cakewalk  but I also know that you have to tell it what key the project is in - I don’t know how to do that as I don’t understand sheet music.  So I wondered is someone could give me some pointers please?

Also, can someone tell me what constitutes a musical score.  i.e. is it every instrument or merely the melody and chords?

I’m grateful for all comments and advice thank you.

Sorry to be so thick ....  but here me being just that! I have no idea what asymmetrical RAM is? Or ,why it’s bad or what would be better???

However if someone could just tell me what I need to replace it that would be great!

Thank you

this is what my computer has

windows 10

processor: Intel core i76700T CPU @2.80 GHz  2.81 GHz

Hi, I'm using Platinum and the program freezes and crashes when I open more than one project - I think its to do with the soft synths (I mainly use Dimensions Pro)

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks
