Just got Terrie,  pretty disappointing. Not even ooohs or ahhhs. Maybe some of the African chants can be of some use?

Glad I purchased Ethera Soul as well!

I use my BCF2000 all the time. My electronic drum kit is not in direct line of sight and I can press a button and play back, or a couple of keys presses let's me record from my from throne. I can set other instrument levels without looking at a screen.  My acoustic guitar/vocal area is also not in direct line of sight and the computer keyboard is not within reach, so the iPad works here. Also, using trackball for extended periods is troublesome to my hand, it is nice to give it a break. I am planning on recording a bunch of key presses into the Eucontrol app for my ipad to save further wear and tear although you could use combinations of key presses( alt, control, shift etc) to do the same thing. However, once setup up it will be a one press on my iPad.

Pretty useful to me!

Hi, you have to download the eucontrol stuff for Cakewalk. I found it by googling which lead me to the old Sonar X1 site. I had to log in and then it gave me a link to the download. After running it, you can enable the eucontrol midi input and output and then select the eucontrol as a control surface.

It will show tracks etc. But no soft keys have been implimented as far as I can tell.

Of course you do need to download the driver software from Avid as well.

Problems here. opening a project i have used many.many times now crashes to the desktop after playing for about 5 seconds. I have a mini dump. Looking at it, it has an access violation. i have rolled back, but still crashes. I crashed a few minutes ago but didn't crate a minidump/

EDIT:..........

I think I found my problem. I removed the Amplitube VST3  plugin and now seems to run fine. I have had problems with the VST3 version of this plugin and Cakewalk for years now. I have brought it up to Cakewalk and IK Multimedia but after getting the usual reboot, reload etc responses I have felt blown off. Anyway, seems like it is working with the VST2 version of Amplitube.

Solved!

After seeing several programs being affected by the blank white app window ( Cakewalk Start Screen, Waves Central, Izotope RX6 etc) I finally found the fix: remove the Duet Display app!. It seems that several of these types of apps confuse Windows when updating. Deleted the app, rebooted and it is fine now.

Updated to Win 10 v1909 several times, still happens. I have a z68 system with the HD3000 graphics. I know it's old......Works fine with Windows 10 1803, but a blank(white) start screen with 1909. I suspect an opengl or something being the problem. If I update the graphic drivers after the update i have the same problem. Any solutions? Thanks!

I have the MR816, not the csx version. The crash occurs when I try to load the plug ins. I have always assumed that it was because I did not have the csx version. Perhaps you configured the unit as a MR816 instead of a MR816csx.

Thanks for posting the video. Most people have no idea what a great piano player he was. Looks like that generation is fading quickly and I see few picking up that torch and moving into the future. Glad I was around for such wonderful American music!

Hey Matthew, thanks for the light theme! I just got out of the hospital so it will be a couple of days before I can try it out. I'll let you know what I like/dislike about it.  

Looking forward to it!

Nice stuff!

I raided your theme for the fx on/off button color scheme....pretty easy

Started on the pan etc buttons for the gradiated outer ring. Man, a lot of effort for that!

I love the light Mercury style themes,  so I created my own, but if you ever do  a light theme it will be light years ahead of mine.

Thanks for all the work.

Miss Duckbar......thanks for reviving it!

You can build rockwool panels pretty cheaply. The covering material is a lot of the expense. Maybe have your wife help in choosing fabric and color? Can't hurt to have her buy into the process. As a stopgap, people have hung blankets on stands forever.... 

To help with parallel walls I have a couple of office cubical dividers set at angles around my recording area. They were free but I bet you could find one or two for hardly any money.

Please look at this as a long term proposition. Try to enjoy the process! Treating your room correctly will stop you from rebuying foam etc. You may find that some of your audio gear is fine  after treating the room.

Good luck

Yep works fine. Fixed the sample rate switching when loading project templates from the start screen. Didn't seem to break anything else.

Thanks Scook,

I did click on the envelope but didn't see anything relating to PM. Yet another obscurity that leaves me scratching my head. Again, thanks for the info. 

Hi Noel, Sure, send it to me. I have no idea if you can PM on this forum, I can't seem to find any info in it.

For some reason the forum is creating an extra line( i.e.  double spacing) when I type. I discovered the problem  because I purchased a  RME Fireface UCX and connected my MR816 via ADAT. This required me to set up the the MR 816 via Firewire and then disconnect it. So, after that was set to 48k . Cakewalk reset the RME to 44.1 hence no syc with the MR816. 

A long winded story,sorry.

Interesting, I can't understand why. it works fine if you load the template from the directory tree.  Not a big deal, but it is good to know.

If you choose a new project template such as Basic, Blank, 16 Channel etc. the sample frequency defaults to 44.1k. This is if it is loaded from the Start Screen. This happens in Platinum as well. Caused havoc with my system that needs to be at 48k. Curiously, if you load the file from the directory tree it starts Cakewalk, loads the project,and keeps the sample frequency unchanged ( in my case at the default of 48k. 

Really just a heads up.

Yep, i was referring to the OP, Misha, not Twisted Fingers.....

Maybe i am missing it but what interface and connection(usb,firewire etc) are you using? Also, what are your Asio settings? Perhaps you are expecting too much from the interface and drivers?

I believe Noel has suggested unchecking unused inputs and oututs to help with crackles etc.

As mentioned earlier, is it possible to try a different interface? Maybe you indicated that you tried this but i didn't see it. Even using the on board sound with WDM or Wasapi  drivers might lead to drivers or interface as being the problem. Personally, reinstalling Windows 10 would be my last resort. 

Went back and read your original post. Maybe yank out the graphics card and try using only the onboard graphics to see if that helps? 

Another shot in the dark.........

I stand corrected......looking back, all the suggestions(including mine i suppose) are shots in the dark. I would still try another program like reaper or another interface to try to isolate the problem. Good luck!

Found this link about installing latest Firepod firmware(i think). Uses windows 7 compatibility mode to install.

https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/digital-recording-and-computers/presonus-firepod-fp10-windows-10-a-382517/?highlight=firepod+Windows+10

It kind of sounds like you are shooting in the dark. I would load up Reaper (can try it for free) and see if the problemm persistes. If it does, Cakewalk is not the issue. Then it is either the driver or something in Windows 10. at this point i would try to determine if it is the driver. So is there a Windows 10 driver(probably not)? There is a Firewire Legacy driver from Microsoft you can try. You might be able to run the driver in a compatibility mode for Windows 7. If this fails i would beg,borrow anorher interface and see if that solves it.

Anyway, my two cents.......
