They add the Synthmaster player to your order for you when you add an expansion

Do you see it in device manager? How is it connected? USB or into a Midi interface?

Have you guys submitted a support ticket?

OK, I am not sure about this but if you select all the tracks of interest and hold control while clicking on the take lane mute will it mute all take lanes of the same number in each selected track?  The other thing to think about is grouping clips. If you recorded your drums with "Link Clips" then what you do to one clip will happen to all the other linked clips.  You could link all your like clips and then mute the clips? Maybe just a work around.

here are some:

I don't actually use the media browser myself much so I have not noticed it being slow. However, I don't think that the media browser creates any kind of database or cache file so it is probably related to how fast your HD is and how many folders you are searching in.

If by a pattern you mean a "clip" or single section of a track then I think that the answer is no. If you want to work with only a single clip then drag that clip to a new midi track or zoom your PVR (piano roll view) to just the area you are interested in.

 If you click on one take lane mute and drag down across multiple take lanes does it mute them?  I haven't tried it on take lanes but this sort of thing works in the track view and console view to set/clear the same button across multiple tracks.

I can see it fine. Try a different browser maybe?

If you look in the deals thread there are all sorts of comments about Waves V12.

I have a Nektar Impact and have not found a way to do this either.  I wrote support to ask.

My preferred way is to use Melodyne (see pp 999 or Reference Guide).  You can also use use audio AudioSnap to convert transients to  midi but this is more for drum type conversions.

See the Reference Guide,

I don't have any specific answers for you except check that the midi track's input is set for your controller, that your controller is still setup in Cakewalk correctly and that you see midi activity in the midi track when you hit a key.

Things to check:

 - Did the midi channel of the controller get set or changed?

- Can you record midi onto a midi track but just not hear the audio?

Just a thought, If you try to record a midi track using your keyboard as the input on the track do any midi events show up or record? If so then it might be a matter of routing the instruments output to an audio track. Can you show a picture or your Cakewalk screen?

I also noticed that turning the knobs on my s61 controller when the track isn't even playing makes changes to the project too ...

 

If you turn a knob and it changes a parameter, pan, volume, frequency etc. then the project has changed and will show that you now need to save it.  This would be expected.

No, Not that I know of. This is often called Pre-Roll

Might be helpful to tells us some specific changes you have/are seeing or capture a video of it happening. 

Do you have any midi controllers hooked up or are you running any kind of automation program like AutoHotKey?

Depends on what is important to you: Keyboard feel, durability, motorized faders, features, Cost etc.

Here is a list of some that I know about,

• Nektar
• MAudio
• Behringer
• Native Instruments
• Akai
• Korg

I agree.

Slightly OT but what I don't get, in 2020.04 with Auto Track Zoom on, if you stretch all tracks to see all controls and then click on track 2 to focus it, it diminishes to default height. Now I have to resize it  *again* to work in it. Makes no sense to me.

That is because there are two states, the selected track size and un-selected size. If you adjust an unselected track all the tracks, except the selected one will resize and become the unselected size. Then when you select a different track it will go to the selected state which you did not modify in the previous action and the previously selected track will go to the new unselected size. 

The audio track is for routing the audio from the virtual instrument through the mixing system. You can freeze the synth or bounce the synth and that will create audio on the audio track. But then then changes to the midi will have no effect on the audio output because the audio has already been captured.  

Think of it like routing an external sound device/synth into your DAW. You would only see a waveform if you record the audio to a track. With VSTi's you are using the DAW as a mixer to route the Synths audio to the audio mix system. If you want to see audio then you have to record the synth output to an audio track by Freezing, bouncing or recording.

Thanks

Thanks,

How do you accomplish this?

Thanks!

 

Well, the Reference guide gives some options. See pp 323

"Instrument Track Per Output. This option pairs a MIDI track with a separate audio output track (mono or stereo) for each
synth output, assigning sequential MIDI channels. This allows you to have multiple Instrument tracks for a single instance of
a synth."

It depends on the synth but you have to find the setting to route the audio out of the instrument to a separate channel. Then in Cakewalk you set the input of an audio channel to that output. Or you can instantiate multiple instances of the same softsynth and load different sounds in each. Then you have a simple instrument track per sound to which you can apply effects.

I haven't used the arranger much yet so  I am not of much help. However, Can you post a screen capture of before and after your move? That might help others see what is going on.

It might be useful for you to post some of your computer specs, CPU type, speed, amount of RAM etc. to see what you are working with.
