Don't have any suggestion for you, unfortunately. Just wanted to say that I have similar GUI issues in UVI Workstation and some of the uJam drummers.

Ah, here's what you mean! I get you now. I'm still thinking it's doable, to an acceptable level, if you have the skills and know what you want to achieve. But I forgot to say that typically it would require outrageous amount of work. Yeah, I get you now. That's actually very simple to do with pitch bender, I can do it when simulating a guitar solo as well when playing a solo on a synth. Quite common trick .

It would require more editing afterwards for bringing out more articulation nuances that are impossible to play live, I believe it's doable.

Couldn't agree more. But I'm not one of these youtube influencers, these guys should be more responsible for what they're saying. As to our $50, spending once on a software surely will give you overhead over any lesson, but in the long run it's the playing skills where you win. Artificial music will always be, well, artificial 🤪. Scaler in the hands of a skilled musician, that's another story I see on that we both agree.

I think I had a better example but could not find it right when it's needed , so there's just that (maybe except a few notes here and there)

I get it that the software may be worth spending money, the math is on your side I'm only trying to say that I don't think it's a good idea when the kids are being told that they should invest in the software instead of playing skills. Eventually some of them could become the new Hendrix or Zawinul in the future. And most of all, they'll miss that joy and fun you get when playing a real instrument and end up only clicking a mouse, that won't take them much further.

A year or two ago I saw this guy on youtube reviewing a chord progression pack for Cthulthu or Scaler (don't remember) and saying something along: for the same price I would prefer these chords packs over music lessons. He was a kind of an influencer, this all made me sad.

There's additional $0.52 discount on these on Audiodeluxe.com.

This. The famous M. Jackson's Thriller sound. For $1500 I wish they shipped it with the hardware .

On my system I only have a dialog box saying "Failed to execute script WavesLocalServer" during scan the first time I run Cakewalk after updating Waves Central, but then it's all working ok and the dialog box never comes back, weird. In Task Manager I can see two WavesLocalServer processes loaded during the first scan.

That's what I would expect as well, thanks for sharing your thoughts Larry. So I'll be skipping the update in accordance with the saying "don't fix it if it's not broken"

Out of curiosity, what would be the benefit from updating waves central? Does it make any influence on how the waves plugins work, or it's just about the waves central alone and I can just skip it until I'll need to install/uninstall some of the plugins? Thx

Select your MIDI clips, then menu Process > Length, by 50% make sure to check Durations if some of the drums are note-length dependent, like for example a reverse cymbal on some drum machines EDIT: Emmm... to halve the tempo of these clips, choose 200% instead of 50 (guess I need another coffee by now)

I'm right now working on a project with Modo Drums, except the useless preset up/down buttons no issues here as well.

I slightly prefer Pianoteq over Lounge Lizard, when playing with live band and doing some recordings, it did mix very well with the rest. I only had Lounge Lizard 3.4 and Lounge Lizard Cakewalk but the bark was always just a bit too artificial to me, maybe that's got changed in v4 full version...?

I didn't notice any problems with the EQ but I have always had same problem, you describe, with AVA Deesser. Recently I reported it to Harrison and got a reply that they have probably nailed the issue, but I have no idea when they will release the update and how to check for it.

Yes, the Event List would be much more effective if it allowed us to do bulk edits, filter single CC# and I could have much more ideas for it. For what you're asking, Nigel's suggestion would be the quickest. I would also advice getting familiar with Find/Change process (formerly known as Interpolate) where you can do much more than this in just one swoop.

and maybe some estimate of the CPU usage for the plugins/synths so we could get the first suggestion from our DAW what plugins to freeze first, not that it's crucial but could be handy... sorry for off topic

Ah yes, I remember that organ comparison now. He did an extraordinary injustice to the Blue3's leslie effect 😂. Overall I find doing such videos a highly noble idea especially that he did care to put the sound in a context of music but I know Blue3 just too good not to notice that there was something going far far off with setting the leslie. In my opinion Blue3's leslie effect is one of the most natural sounding leslie captured sound, note I mention 'captured' like listening to a recording, not like staying next to the real cabinet (L'otary anyone? ), of the bunch only IK's leslie can rival Blue3 for natural, captured leslie sound, imo.

Yes, that's what I see. I checked again and found out that for some recent testing reasons I had Vertical Grid Lines set to 'In front of clips' which I typically have set to off. If I turn the grid lines off then I can see bevels more clearly. But I still have an impression like I'm missing some sort of a trail around a grooved clips, a kind of a dashed line. But I'm no more sure. Are you using custom skin?

I can see rounded corners here but the change is so small now, almost unnoticeable! It used to be much more distinctive in the past.

Almost 5 sites reading to just get two or three substantive responses, oh well Regarding legato CAL script not working anymore I didn't check yet but I'd say it would be sad if it got broken. When I was using it, I remember that I had to do some reasonable preparation on the clips itself first in order to make it work properly, like cutting or replacing the first note at some specific time. Overall I think the best thing we can do about it is asking developers to put a new "LEGATO" command in the Process menu - as many times as we can! That's one of biggest missing core features in Cakewalk's MIDI department. The 'sndfile.dll' bug is a Waves bug and have had accidentaly occured at this time, and as I see it had been already explained. Glad to see Noel already logged the quick group bug, that's great news. 👍 Regarding time stretching problems, I don't try to say that Audiosnap is entirely bug free but I kind of agree with Jonathan Sasor saying that in your case it's more of an user error rather than a bug. Besides you need to remember that Audiosnap will in almost 100% situations work with regard to transient markers that you've enabled, so that shouldn't be overlooked as well. And a question, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a Groove Clip rendered with Elastique Pro (or Radius, if you prefer - I prefer Radius Mix over Elastique Pro 6 days in a week) when we bounce to clips/tracks? Maybe that's just the one step you're missing to get the quality - bounce your stretched clips once you've done. Lastly the cut/paste bug. Indeed there is a tiny bug in the way Cakewalk is handling selection when you cut. Just watched your video again - observe the selection on the Time Ruler changing the moment you hit Cut - there is your bag so the workaround would be always to select clips with only lasso (right mouse click+drag over clips) and this way have no empty area before clips discarded from selection after you hit Cut. And I think, but I could be wrong, that perhaps the right person to ask for dealing with this last bug would be @msmcleod...?😅 IIRC he did correct similar bug a year or two ago that I reported (Cakewalk didn't remember selection after Ctrl+Z, it was), so there's a hope. BTW as we're on it, I also don't like how Cakewalk looses tracks selected when we try to change time selection manually in the Time Ruler i.e. I have a few clips selected across a few tracks, when I drag any of the selection markers with the mouse, Cakewalk will change to only one track selected, only the focused one, discarding all the other tracks. But maybe that's for a purpose, idk.

I remember reading that someone called an audio driver a background process and that way justifying prioritizing background processes. My Ploytec ASIO driver has it's own setting for how much I want to prioritize it so I should have nothing to loose changing back to apps.

Glad nobody told me over the years or else it could have stopped working for me. And I think I got it from some well regarded source like SOS etc, back then.
