Waiting on Blue Cat's Patchwork to go on sale. Oh, Bluuuue Caaaaat............

As bumbling would have it, I had two e-mail addresses with XLN. One owned the Addictive Keys, the other owned the Addictive drums. Support was kind enough to combine the products into one account and I then downloaded the ADPacks I did not have. Thanks Keni.

Back in the Sonar days I think we were given AD2 and I think at least one drum kit. All kits say "Read more and buy". I just updated the XLN installer and checked the registration of my DAW box and everything looks good but my attempts to migrate from SD2 to AD2 is not going well. Guidance? I forget what we actually got back in the day. TIA

I record my drums with a MIDI kit. then edit and obsess over the performance over the next two months because I can. I have, on late night sessions, edited the hi hat thinking it was the kick and having to undo a lot because I was a tool. Nevermore? ...... Nevermore. It's a sickness. This feature is right in my wheel house.

Where have you been all my life? Thank you. Bolder font would be nice as I don't look so good anymore though.

I think I'm going to most appreciate CTRL-D, Drop out diags and PRV note names most. I'm looking forward to using this version. Thank you.

I forgot you have to first trim the beginning and set the now time to zero.

When you are "finished" with the arrangement, select all (the clips) and "bounce to clips" so it's one big clip. Then click and drag that clip up to the timeline and drop it there. Cakewalk will then create a tempo map from the freestyle guitar track. Your drum loop will then follow that tempo map and be locked to the guitar track more or less like a human drummer.

I've been on a hardware kick of late. I just bought two Pre-73jr Preamps from eBay for the cost of one new one. Now I have an eye on a 8 ch ADC to be an upgrade to the one I currently use which is an ADA8000 with the preamps bypassed so it's just ADC to ADAT. Good, but it could be better.

Oh crap, you're probably right. I was flying by memory from work away from the DAW. I'll hopefully be able to start it up tonight and see. There is a better than 50% chance I left it as admin. (facepalm).

I think he is referring to the last go round, not this EA release.

My CbB icon on Windows 10 x64 has the "I'm a 32 bit program badge" \Program Files\Cakewalk Core.... So it's not in (x86) Is that normal?

Please change the title of this post to "Cakewalk crashes to the desktop" as A: That is the proper term for it and moreover, B: We have been bounced from foster home to foster home over the last few decades and I honestly thought we would be uprooted again when I saw this post title. 😁

I use Acronis

I did. And I might again. It was vocalizr.com and the two southern boys I hired on two different occasions on two different songs had the audacity to change the phrasing timing even though they were sent a guide track. For female vocals and total control try synthesizer V and Eleonore forte singing database. This is not my best tune and it has too much bass but Elenore Forte is singing this one. https://www.reverbnation.com/ronnierocks/song/30173848-password-to-my-heart-with-elenore

Session drummer in cakewalk has some patterns. Programs and midi file in no way have to Cakewalk specific. The only requirement is the synths should be of the vsti standard, and Cakewalk will digest any .MID midi file you can throw at it. The midi track output should point to the aforementioned vsti synth. You can edit the midi with a mouse, record midi with a hardware midi controller keyboard and or midi drums. Best of blessing learning to play the drums.

I do fwiw

Crap! One Ctrl-V = two pics. Sorry.

Because of the limited number of writes to ssd issue (Is that still a thing?), I place my OS on the SSD, my audio data drive is an old spinner drive and samples on usb sticks peppered about the usb ports. I used to assign the swap file to yet another spinner drive but that got messy so I threw caution to the wind and just store is on the SSD OS partition as "normal". Image back up the SSDs when you feel you must because while fast, they have a nasty habit of sudden and total death unlike our old spinner drives which will let you know in various ways that they aren't feeling well for a while before failure.

Speechless. This must have sucked. A lot.

Oh you tricked us hu? Oh well. 😎

I musturd, be back in a bit man.

Thank you.
