SONAR Platinum was rent-to-own. If you paid 12 consecutive monthly payments, you'd own the version of the product at the point of your 12th payment. If you paid 12 months up front, you'd own the version of the product exactly a year after your payment. Once you owned the product, that version would continue to work regardless of whether you continued to pay or not. This is different from a subscription, which disables the product (either partially or fully) when you stop paying.

In my experience, the Korg nanoKONTROL 2 / nanoKONTROL Studio are by far the easiest to integrate with Cakewalk - as long as you're using it in Mackie/SONAR mode that is. It's pretty simple to set up... just follow the steps in the nanoKONTROL 2 manual: SONAR 1. While pressing and holding down the SET MARKER and REC buttons, connect the USB cable from your computer to the nanoKONTROL2. 2. Open the “MIDI device” window in SONAR, then select nanoKONTROL2 for “Input” and “Output.” 3. Open the “Controllers/Surfaces” window, then select “Mackie Control” for “Control Surface.” 4. Select nanoKONTROL2 for the MIDI In/Out ports used. If you're using it as a generic ACT controller, your mileage may differ however. Swapping between nanoKONTROL 2 "modes" can be a PITA ( i.e. using it in Mackie/SONAR mode, then changing it to CC mode) so I'd avoid doing it unless you want to go through the setup steps every time you swap. Better to get an additional (and different) controller so you have one for each mode. But to answer the original question of the post... "How many users does CbB have?"... go here: https://bandlabtechnologies.com/brands/cakewalk/

Ah yes, this makes sense - the selection has a time extent which in this case is dictated by the clip extent. So it will only select nodes that are under the clips that are selected.

I suspect this is down to how you are selecting things. Select All selects all tracks, which subtly different from selecting clips - and it's the clip selection that triggers selecting the associated track envelopes. For some operations, there is a notion of "implied" selection, where tracks are selected because all their clips are (and vice-versa), but not everything checks for this. Also synth automation, although shown on the track, isn't actually "owned" by the track the envelope is shown on - instead it's owned by a hidden automation track ( this is also why changing the shown automation track is such a simple operation - it only affects display, not who owns it). So this is why volume envelope is selected in this situation, but the synth envelopes aren't. I'm not 100% sure what is going on here, but it could be that the misbehaving envelopes are absolute time based perhaps?

There's a reason why, within Insert Soft Synth Options, "Display Automation On" defaults to "First MIDI Source Track" - it's so both your clips and envelopes can reside on this track and be selected together. This would be my first recommendation. The second would be to ensure you're using either Simple Instrument or Per-Output Instrument tracks. That way, you also get the audio track's volume automation showing. If you're using split instrument tracks, there are workarounds however: 1. If you want the audio track's volume automation to be selected along with the MIDI clip, the simplest way is to use CTRL + left click to also select the audio track. If you're using Copy + Paste (as opposed to CTRL + drag), remember to give the correct track focus when pasting. Alternatively, select the MIDI & Audio track and temporarily "Make Instrument Track". You can then do your operation, then split afterwards. 2. Within the Synth rack, the dropdown in the header allows you to change which track you want the automation for the selected synth to be shown on. This can actually be ANY track you want (even unrelated ones), and you can change it as many times as you want. So you can move your synth automation to the track who's clips your moving prior to doing your operation.

Also check that the following directory is not compressed: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal

@Jim Stamper - we've identified the issue and a fix will be available in the next CbB drop.

Modern cars certainly do have bugs, for example: - I drive through a spot that has a lot of tree cover, so my headlights switch on... it thinks it's dark, even though the dashboard clock clearly shows its the middle of the day. It takes up to 5 minutes to work out that it's not still dark and turn the headlights off. - The automatic wipers come on with a single drop of water, but then don't when it's raining lots of fine drops.

For any of these services, check the fine print... there are so many gotchas there it's not funny. I've heard stories of people getting copyright strikes on YouTube from their own material, just because they've used a distribution service in the past. Whatever you do, don't base your decision on price alone.

Although the Add Track button does have some options that will override those in the dialog, for the most part the options from the Insert Synth Options dialog will always be respected (and remembered for next time).

The TTS-1 uses exactly the same samples as used in all of the Roland Sound Canvas modules - in fact it's actually a software emulation of the Sound Canvas. The D110 predates the Sound Canvas by quite a few years, and is a totally different beast being based on LA synthesis. AFAIK there are no piano samples in the D110 to speak of (except maybe the shortest piano attack you could imagine). I've got a D110, and the piano sounds are awful... but pianos aren't what you'd use this synth for. The U110 / U220, which were around at the same time have piano samples and aren't that bad for the time, but are to my ears inferior to the Sound Canvas (and therefore the TTS-1 too). I've got both the D110 and the U220 (as well as the MT-32 and CM-64)... they have their uses, but nowadays not so much! The D550 is the only one that still has charm for me.

@FaithD0ntFall - check your Templates folder within Preferences->File->Folder Locations. The default setting is: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates - this is where the installer puts the stock project templates. If you've got it set to a different folder, make sure there are actually project templates in there.

FWIW, the new Sonar will have Project Start /Project End markers.

Living in a Box - Living in a Box:

Compare the size of the files on both computers. Cakewalk can store multiple waveforms in a single file (the .wav file format supports this), but some file transfer programs try to get clever and try to re-interpret the file. This was a common issue with Cakewalk bundle files. If the file sizes are different, try zipping up the files into a single zip file and transfer that.

Why record it rather than generate it? MOscillator from MeldaProduction will generate a perfect 60Hz sine wave for you, and it's part of their free bundle: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MOscillator

I went for the Digiface USB too. I'm using the 18i20 as my main set of inputs (which also means I can switch back to the 18i20 as my main interface by just swapping the USB cables). The other three banks are from 3 x Fostex VC8's. Not the best converters I know, but they're good enough for now and easily replaceable with better models when I get around to it. 2 of them are fed from the direct outs of my A&H MixWizard, and the other one has an assortment of pre's I can patch in and out ( 8 x Alice 828 direct outs, TFPro P3 x 4, GA Pre 73 x 2 ). Cabling is a sore point... thankfully my 19U preamp rack is all cabled internally, but there's nearly 50m of audio cable alone in there! The Alice and A&H use standard looms... big, heavy and ugly.

The issue is you're using WASAPI shared, which essentially goes through Window's sound. Use ASIO if you've got ASIO drivers for your device, otherwise try WASAPI Exclusive.

Technically they don't... NME Networks is not part of BandLab Technologies - they're a separate division, but both are owned by Caldecot Music Group. The same is true for the music hardware/instruments/retailers, which all come under Vista Musical Instruments, again owned by Caldecot.

If you've got an 18i20 then it works great via ADAT to the RME as an extra 8 pre-amps (or indeed an extra 8 analog outputs).

Do you have the outputs checked in Preferences? - i.e. they not only need to be listed, you also need to have them checked.

The nodes must have been selected somehow for them to move as a group. The most likely cause is that you're unintentionally invoking a gesture that is causing them to be selected, or it could be a combination of config options that make this more likely. Can you post a video demonstrating this behaviour? Hopefully it'll be easy enough to narrow it down.

Is that really any different from a Track Envelope sending MIDI CC's to trigger articulations, or even sustain pedal events? FWIW - both Articulations and Track Envelopes can be converted into MIDI events in the clip, and back again - i.e. you can apply articulations to the track, so the key switches will end up in the clip, do any duplication or rolling out you need, then extract them out again later.

Ahh.. but drag and dropping file from it works absolutely fine ? I only use an iPhone because years ago I used a Windows Phone - great pocket PC, but absolutely useless as a phone ( e.g. having to get the stylus out, then select "Keypad" from the start menu just to get the keypad up during a call). A friend gave me his old iPhone 3GS which was so easy to use, I've been upgrading to the latest supported 2nd hand version since then. Maybe I'm just old, but honestly I think people expect too much these devices... I mean, sure, I do listen to audiobooks, do my banking on it, and take pictures of things I can't read so I can zoom in to read them... but for the most part I use it as a phone! But yeah, the whole having to use iTunes to get mp3's on to an iPhone is a bit of a PITA, but AFAIK it's the only way.

No that's not what's being said. The authorization server has been upgraded to support the upcoming Sonar/Next releases. This is incompatible with the old authorization server. When their authorization period runs out, the CbB 2022.11 release (and all releases of CbB before it) will try to connect to a now defunct authorization server, so the authorization will fail. CbB 2023.09 does work with the new authorization server. So: - If you're using CbB 2022.11 or earlier, it'll continue to work until the authorization period runs out. - At that point, you'll need to upgrade to CbB 2023.09. Of course, when Sonar is released you can always get that too.
