It depends on what CC the slider is sending and what the contact instrument is setup to listen for. You can use the Korg utility to tell the controller which CCs to output on what physical controller. Then in Kontakt you need to know or map the things you want to control to be mapped by the CC being sent out by the controller. For example: Usually CC2 is used for dynamics in instruments like strings and orchestra. So on your Korg controller whichever physical knob or slider is setup to send CC2 would control the dynamics in a loaded Kontakt instrument that has CC2 mapped to dynamics.

This thread talks about getting the nanokontrol2 working with Cakewalk. Do you want to use it as a control surface for faders, pan, transport or more for controlling synth parameters?

I have mixbus V7, Studio One and Cakewalk. I alternate between Cakewalk and Studio One to stay up on using them. I use Mixbus occasionally but it is mostly just a backup.

A defrag/optimize would not move files around from the user point of view. Don't know how they would have moved but it is usually user error on our part that things like this happen. A unintended mouse click or keystroke sequence is what I have seen on my part.

First off, You will get more views to your issue in the general Cakewalk forum. It is important to know your audio interface, driver mode, etc. to try to help. If you are using on-board audio you also need to make sure that the settings in Cakewalk match Windows settings. Please look at some of the tutorials, specifically the audio hardware setup ones, in the tutorials forum. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/2-cakewalk-by-bandlab/

This is probably due to now having your sound device setup correctly. Cakewalk, like Cubase, is not a simple program. You would want to start by reading some of the tutorials in the manual or viewing the tutorials in the tutorials part of the forum.

Are you saying that when you play with the keyboard the sound are sustained if you hold down the key, but if you record and then playback the notes are all short? Can you open the Piano Roll view (PVR) and look at the notes? Are they sustained or short? Have you gone over any of the Tutorial in the tutorials part of this forum?

I doubt anyone will just know what is going on. However, since it seems related to a user login and your interfaces driver I would suggest a clean un-install of your Focusrite driver and a re-install logged in to your account. It could be a file or device permission issue. If this doesn't make any difference then you might have to check windows system logs to see if it gives you any clues as to what is happening.

I updated to windows 11 this Summer or late Spring. I have not noticed any issues with my system or plug-ins. Your experience may vary.

Finally upgraded my Hyperion Strings Micro to the Elements Version for $30. Now to go play with them.

You might have to explain your setup in a bit more detail for someone to help you. I am not expert at Kontakt but I use it enough to get by. Make sure you have all 16 outputs defined in Kontakt and that you can see signal going to them from within Kontakt. Then assign those outputs to the input of your associated audio tracks. Are you a simple instrument track or separate midi and audio tracks? Here is a video that might help as well.

So... Are you using a MIDI instrument (VSTi) to create your guitar sound or do you have a wave file? Guitar Pro is a guitar notation program that has some built in sounds but is basically playing midi notes of the notation into a synthesizer instrument. If your using a MIDI instrument then there is no need for stretching audio. If your track is audio then to make a double you don't need to stretch it either. Just duplicate the track, pan both tracks opposite and then add a small delay (1-5 ms) to one of them. This is called the HAAS effect. If you want a true double to make the track seem wider you need to actually play it again with different timing and slight pitch differences. There are plug-ins that mimic a double tracked instruments but they use the same principles mentioned above. With all that being said, I don't know of any polyphonic Elastic audio. There are Elastic audio settings for when you stretch audio but it doesn't have a "polyphonic" mode. See https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=AudioSnap.23.html

Running Win 11 and Cakewalk here with no troubles.

Not in cakewalk. There are other tools that will do it but they are external VSTs or tools.

I have never got takes to work if you don't use them just for composting a track from the takes. If you have multiple un-muted takes at the same place in the timeline then when you apply a fade then Cakewalk doesn't know what you are trying to fade, the clip to its neighbor or to the clip right underneath it. Best to either bounce all the clips into one clip per timeline segment per track or use multiple tracks for each take. You could also submit a feature request specifying how you would like it to work in the https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/ forum

Or do a "save as" to keep what you want then edit away. Mix Recall does not preserve tracks and data. Just the state of mixes as mentioned in the documentation.

Graphics driver, Custom Theme applied?

Not that I know of. The interfaces I know of into a Daw like Cakewalk are the following: - Cal scripts - used to mostly modify midi data - Midi Control - Continuous controllers etc. - ARA - The interface Melodyne and other use to get access to the audio directly while not streaming. - VST/i - Plug-ins, API to access streaming audio/midi and create audio/midi output.

I have the Nektar LX88+ and it works fine with cakewalk. They have a special driver that you install. The only thing I could't get it to do was switch the sliders from controlling the tracks to control busses.

Please see the tutorial section for basic help in getting audio to work. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/ Make sure you have input echo enabled on the track. https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013146/Input-Monitoring-Hearing-Audio-FX-On-Input#:~:text=Enable Input Monitoring,monitoring directly though your soundcard.

Even if the master bus is muted or has a problem there should still be a reading in the individual track meters. You could try to bypass all effects and see if that changes anything. Are you using the pro channel? I have had some times where a pro channel module would cause a track to not play. bypassing or removing the effect would then allow audio to pass. I would also toggle the mute and solo on and then off just to make sure nothing is soloed.
