Hello again folks .

My 4Pre is working fine with all other software & Focusrite Control shows as connected but Cakewalk quits as per subject line.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot or any suggestions?

Thanks!

I assume from another thread that there are issues opening Cakewalk projects - over the last few days it was taking up to ten attempts but now none of my projects will open.

Hope there is a fix on the way soon? ☺

O...seems to be an issue with my Focusrite Clarett 4Pre Interface...all runs OK if I disconnect it so not sure what that's all about yet!

Thanks

The following scenario has happened quite a bit over the last couple of months for me. I have Melodyne 5 Studio and the latest CwB. I fortunately have found a work around, still this never happened in the past and I am just hoping it resolves itself in the future.

So here is teh scenario:

1. I edit a track using melodyne.
2. when I come back to the project, the edits are physically there, but when I play the song no output is heard from that particular track. Zero output.
3. When this happens, if I "freeze" the track, the frozen track shows zero waveform ('tho the edits and wave form are present in the pre-frozen track).

Now this has resulted in several "gotcha" moments but fortunately there are two work arounds.

1. Freeze the track before I save the project, or,

2. If I forget and no output is heard, I do this:
a. Right mouse click remove melodyne 
b. Immediately "undo" (for me, CTRL-Z).

Doing #2 restores the clips ability to output and preserves the edits.  It works, works every time actually, but is annoying.

The dead-output melodyne clip in CwB doesn't happen always, but maybe that's because I now freeze the tracks right after editing.... 

IN am in WIndows 10 pro, 32 GB, my CwB is healthy as a horse so far as I know and this has been happening over at least 2 of 3 updates.

Thanks Rickddd. Yes, I have had this happening since May or June - thanks for the workaround, I'll try it! Bit of a pain with lots of LVs, BVs harmony clips etc

☺ How do you mean losing edits? Before, during, after? 

More details are needed for answers. 

Thanks Will, sorry for the late reply. I know, I haven't done a close analysis as I was busy fixing, but it seems that the Pitch Modulations previously entered are no longer working or shown graphically. I will try to document when it happens again.

Hi all,

Has anyone had this with their projects?

Melodyne 5 and latest CbB. I'm sure it's happened to me sporadically for a while though in the last few months.

Cheers

Glad it worked out. Will run through this later as well.  Maybe mark your posting as Solved? Might help someone else who hits this issue?

Done 😀

 Go to C:\Program Files\Waves Central\resources\res\external\Redistributables.

 Now, go through each folder and run all the Application files, one by one ( Let me know if you're getting any errors). Select the 'Repair' option to repair all of them.

If prompted to restart, you can skip that until you finish all the files.

See if you can load the plugins.>>

I haven't had time to try this, so can't say if it fixes it or not. 

 

Thanks Billy...yes, that worked!

I got one error but rebooted and the plugins all seem to load OK.

Pleasantly surprised at the speed of response too.

Phew! Thanks so much!

Sort of glad I'm not the only one, but not really...

Emailed Waves and hoping for a further reply tomorrow.

Tried rescanning CbB plugins but it goes into a loop of asking to open a folder where the plugins reside and not accepting anything.

Hate it when you end up wasting days on this with tight deadlines!

Found the licenses but when opening a project Cakewalk says error loading WaveShell1-VST3 9.92_x64 and WaveShell1-VST3 11.0_x64 

They are in the folder it is searching. Latest version of Cakewalk.

Any clues?

Cheers!

Hello folks,

I worked on a project an hour ago, which was fine.

Just went back in and no Waves plugins are loading for that or any other project.

Went to Waves Central and no V9 or 11 plugin licenses are showing.

Benn having problems with Cakewalk unceremoniously shutting down the PC when playing projects  recently so I don't know if it's Waves, Cakewalk or general PC malaise 😞

Cheers for any pointers

Hello folks,

I'm trying to finish a project that was started in 2009 and have been saving new .cwp files as I've gone along.

Somewhere along the line it seems to have got in a twist where I've had Melodyne edits completely lost and adding 6 new audio WAVs made the .cwp balloon from 9mb to 36mb increasing save times by literally minutes.

Is there a neat way of copying the audio/midi and all mix settings to a brand new project and hopefully kick out the jams somehow?

Many thanks for any ideas.

M

Hello Folks,

I'm pretty sure I used to hit Cmd+Home and the Now time would alternately RTZ or return to the start of the looped section. Now it is only RTZ.

What is the function to Return to Start of looped section and is there a standard key sequence for it?

Cheers!

Steve beat me to it.

Indeed, he often beats many to it! 😉

Thanks guys.

One thing as well - I've added 11 stereo audio drum tracks and split them into some 1 bar sections. The project has gone from 10mb to 30mb in size and takes considerably longer to save. Is that a normal thing?

Thanks

M

Hello guys,

Is this possible e.g. for highlighting all drum fills on a track etc.?

Cheers

Did you render the clips before saving and closing?  Do you have a paid for version? Melodyne is only a demo until you pay. If the demo expires then Un rendered clips might’ve been muted 

Thanks John. Yes, paid for and not rendered with every save.

It seems to work after rebooting my PC and then stops working when re-opening subsequently. Also lost a lot of edits this evening,

Not sure what's going on or if there is some program conflict happening...? Bizarre.

M

Hello peeps,

Just opened a project saved last year and the Melodyne regions won't play.

I'm sure I got them to play the other day but can't remember what I did.

Anyone come across this oddity? It's Melodyne Studio 4.2.4.001 and CbB latest version.

Thanks!

Use TH2 if you want the TH2 presets. TH3 if you want TH2 presets. Presumably TH1 for TH1 presets. The presets seem to be in the dll.

Should by default be in Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins\THxx.....dll

Thanks. I was confused that I had obviously loaded the preset at some point but that it was no longer there. Perhaps they are in a downloadable pack somewhere but yes I have TH2 as well.

Hi folks,

I used Overloud TH2 in a project and can see the preset no. (e.g. 3.4 Experience TH1 Rock Sampler Crunch}.

I switched to TH3 in the past & seem to have used the same  but can't see the preset name identified in TH3 - any idea where it might be?

Not my favourite interface :-(

Thanks!

M

Thanks all!

Yes, I found it under screenset 5 for a quick change yesterday.

Will test some more to get the full window back 🙂 

Cheers

M

Alt-3 shows the Piano Roll etc. but Alt-2 won't work.

It's a program that normally opens across 3 screens on another machine and Alt-2 is usually on screen 2. This is a new laptop installation.

Any clues?

Thanks

Have you tried bouncing them as clips before recording ?

i always do that and have not come across this. You can always undo if the bounce is no good.

J

Yes, that was the workaround - bit of a pain if there were a lot of them in a work in progress.

Definitely a bug I think but I don't need the metronome count-in more often than not.

M

For a long time I've been having a problem where Melodyne clips play delayed by 1 bar when recording.

Yesterday I reduced the count-in metronome to 0 bars instead of 1 and the Melodyne clips played in time.

Don't know if it's a known bug but glad I found it 🙂

Hehe... regular intervals of beeping, white noise, or dropouts are more often indications of something in demo mode (with the transport running (usually)).

One that can easily confuse folks is iZotope's Vinyl... that inserts noise (its job function) even with the transport stopped, so can easily make you think your audio interface just crapped the bed when you re-open a project you've used it in.

Exactly mettelus...same thing with Izotope Ozone 🙂
