  1. I tend to convert the clip into a Groove Clip, then adjust the pitch / tempo of the clip accordingly: Changing the Reference Note of the clip, means that when I insert a pitch marker it will offset the pitch accordingly. For example, if I set the Reference Note to "C", then inserting a pitch marker of "D" will play it one tone higher. Changing the Original Tempo when "Stretch to Tempo" is active, will stretch the clip to match the current tempo. So for example, if my project is at 160bpm and I want the clip to play at twice the speed, I set the Original Tempo to 80bpm.
  2. Uninstall BandLab Assistant, and download/install the latest from here: https://www.bandlab.com/products/desktop/assistant
  3. I got these: https://online-welcome.com/product/cakewalk-sonar-keyboard-stickers/ They come with stickers for both US and UK keys. Note: It took a bit of searching to find these... most were out of date, but these ones were current for SONAR Platinum & CbB.
  4. I replied in your other topic, but try: Set record setting to "Sound on Sound" Enable Auto Punch (i.e. set it to the same as your loop settings) Check "Mute Previous Takes" For me, this pretty much behaves like layers in Sonar 8.5
  5. Setting the record mode to "Sound on Sound", enabling Auto Punch and then checking "Mute Previous Takes" pretty much gives me the layers functionality I used in Sonar 8.5.
  6. +1 for Editor - this is what I use. I've got a kids 1/2 size electric guitar I use on the move. The intonation is not great, but it's fine for getting ideas down and is highly portable. Melodyne does a fantastic job of sorting out the tuning.
  7. There's no difference between any of the versions of Melodyne as far as the installer is concerned (in fact, the update I installed today was named "demo"). It's your license that dictates what functionality you can use.
  8. I've just updated Melodyne today. Apart from having to set my default detection algorithm again (the first time around), it's all working for me.
  9. It's not the precision of the pointer, it's where it is when you right click. You have to right click on the track view - i.e. in the area where the names, track numbers etc are listed - not on the clip area, and not over a mute, solo, record, FX etc. It might be helpful to post a video clip of what you're seeing. I use ScreenToGif, which creates a fairly small animated GIF of a selected screen area: https://www.screentogif.com/
  10. I tend to agree with Tobias here. Whilst being able to change the chords of MIDI/Audio on the fly might be useful to some users, I doubt if I'd use it much myself (I've not in SO4 yet). I guess it depends on how clever it is, but if for example I wanted to change from F maj to Dm7, I'd normally just change the bass to a D and leave everything else as is. I wouldn't want it to start transposing guitar parts that would render it impossible to play live. In saying that, I suppose it's useful for trying out new chord combinations. Personally, I use Liquid Notes for this sort of thing if my imagination has really dried up, but this is limited to MIDI. Now if it could do what Studio One 4 does as well as what Liquid Notes does.... then I'd be interested.
  11. Jesse original post says: So that would imply 4:27 PM (EST) on Jan 4th.
  12. The MT-32 was my main sound module for almost 10 years, although I did add a CM-32P to it and later replaced both with a CM-64 (which basically had both modules in the one box). I wrote my own editor on the Amiga so I could create my own sounds, saving them to an Alesis DataDisk for recall live. The synthesis part was pretty powerful, even by today's standards. The MT-32 / CM-32P was used almost exclusively on my old band's album in the early 90's, with only a small amount of Kawai K1 thrown in for good measure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd7nm0MFgB0&index=4&list=PLoqf7wrOkpisFWo-d4tv2Z5klXXWzPl2o
  13. As a workaround, you could just use two browsers - e.g. Chrome for one ID, and Firefox for the other. I do this quite often when testing my web apps.
  14. The last install discs I have are for Sonar 8. In fact, it won't let me install 8.5 unless I've installed Sonar 8 first from the discs. Everything since 8.5 is a download for me.
  15. Years ago, I had a CAL script that did this but it stopped working around Sonar 5, and unfortunately I've lost the script source. What I tend to do now, is freeze the tracks, then copy the audio over to new tracks to mix. In saying that, there are usually some workarounds you can do with CAL - but it can be a frustrating process.... One way of bouncing is to map a key to the bounce function, then use an external DLL to "press the key" for you. Here's an old thread that suggests a similar thing: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Sending-keystrokes-through-CAL-m498623.aspx One thing I'm not sure of however, is whether the DLL in question is 32 bit or 64 bit - I suspect it's 32 bit, which may be an issue with CbB. If I get time over the holidays, I'll do some testing to see if I can get a DLL function to work in this way.

  17. CAL still works: http://members.ziggo.nl/t.valkenburgh/Cakewalk Application Language Programming Guide.pdf There's also Alexey's AZ Lua MFX plugin: http://www.azslow.com/index.php?topic=286.msg1370

  20. I've got a dual boot with W7 / W10, and FWIW I find W7 just as stable as W10 using CbB. In fact, in many ways it's quicker: plugin scans are 3-4 times quicker & GUI updates are more snappier. Audio performance is no different (as expected). You can't download older versions of CbB, but you can make a copy of C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core, then run Cakewalk.exe from within that folder e.g.: I seriously doubt that previous versions of CbB will be any different though. CbB has been getting more stable as each new version comes out.
  21. I couldn't afford a electronic kit back in the mid 90's, so I converted a Remo practice kit into an electronic kit using piezo transducers glued to soup tin lids, plugged into a second hand Alesis DM5. It's worked pretty well over the years, but a real electronic kit is next on my hardware wish list. I will miss having 5 cymbal pads though...
  22. Have you checked if your control surface is still set up? If it's still there it may be using your GO:KEYS MIDI input/output as it's normal MIDI input/output is no longer there. I've had this happen to me in the past - it took ages for me to work it out!
