I predominantly do my project work on my desktop PC.  However, sometimes I take my projects to other musicians to work on collectively using my laptop.  Does a membership subscription to Sonar allow me to install it on more than one computer?

Thanks  

I'm working on a project and each time I try to add a Prochannel Preset to the track Cakewalk keeps crashing.  I don't know how to read the dump file that I've attached.

Thanks!  I got it.

That works however the individual track names are not associated with each individual stem.  The stems all share the same name differentiated by numbers 1 through 33.  How do i get the track names to be associated with each stem?

Thanks

I would like to export a project I've been working on to have it mastered.  I would like to export the complete project of 32 individual tracks to separate .wav files all at the same time.  I've searched the manual to see if this is possible which I am guessing it is but am confused as to the procedure.

Can someone please confirm this is possible and the steps to achieve this?

Thanks

Oy. Of course you won't get a keyboard by scrolling. 😉

huh??

Ok, I got it to work.  By clicking USE THESE NOTE NAMES INSTEAD and selecting DIATONIC, then click on USE THE ASSIGNED INSTRUMENTS SETTINGS and then back again to USE THESE NOTE NAMES INSTEAD and selecting DIATONIC it changes to the keyboard.

@57gregy, I already have tried that, it does not make the keyboard appear, it just gives names.  I want to see the keyboard

@tparker24.  I appreciate the response however, that doesn't even come close to my question.

the track is not frozen

Why in Piano Roll View sometimes it shows number and other times shows a keyboard.  Is there a way to make it show the keyboard when it is showing numbers?

Thanks Bristol_Jonesey, that worked! 

Yup, already did that.  There are none.

I don't know what I did however, a MIDI song I've been working on all of a sudden does not stop at the end of the tracks.  It just keeps playing.  I've looked to see if there is something further down any of the tracks that was introduced and don't see anything.  I've checked under Tracks / Options and Stop At Project End is indeed checked.  But it keeps play for another 10 measures before stopping.   What am I missing?

Thanks

This is still the stuff you will need to learn if you want to do things like this.

Truedat!  However, with that said, I don't follow or understand your suggestion.

Open the MIDI tracks in the PRV.  Then open up the controller lane.  The fade outs will either be by means of CC Events (Probably CC7 or CC11) or the notes’ velocities.

If it is via CC events , using the Smart Tool, selected all of the CCs responsible for the fade out except for the first CC event at the start of the ramp.  Then delete.

If it is via note velocities, using the Smart Tool,  select the notes that are fading out.  Then, while holding SHIFT,  drag the velocity of the last note up.  This will edit all of the velocities to create a line of velocity values.  Simply drag the velocity of the last note to match that of the first.  That will get rid of the fade out for that track.  Of course, you will have to do this for all the MIDI tracks in this MIDI file.

That's over my head....

A friend sent me a MIDI file with multiple tracks that fades out at the end.  He wants to remove the fade out and asked me how to do it.  I viewed the TRACK EVENTS for each track and do not see a fade out on any track.  I don't see where it is getting the information to fade out the song.  Where can I find this?

Thanks

Well, it's much more complicated than that, whcih is why the info is important to know how to help.

 

TTS 1 is a synth.  

That means it takes input from MIDI tracks, and it has an audio output. (several, actually, per another user's post above)

So you can set up a "multitrack" drum part in several ways.

You can feed a single instance of TTS1, that has just one audio track output, from a single MIDI track that has lanes for each drum's notes.

You can feed a single instance of TTS1, that has just one audio track output, from any number of multiple MIDI tracks;

--each of those tracks could be sending on the *same* midi channel, so that all of them are sending ot the same instrument (drums, etc) in TTS1.

--or each of them could be sending to *different* midi channels, so that they are sending ot different instruments in TTS1

--or some combination of those two

 

You can feed a single instance of TTS1, that has multiple audio track outputs with separate instruments on different audio outs, from any number of multiple MIDI tracks (see the variations above again for that, multiplied by the mulitple audio outs)

 

You can feed separate instances of TTS1, each of which has just one audio track output, from a single MIDI track.

You can feed separate instances of TTS1, each of which has just one audio track output, from any number of multiple MIDI tracks.

(again, complicated by all those --ways to set those up, listed above).

(there are further variations, but you get the idea)

 

This "complicatedness" makes it possible to do a lot of different things if you don't mind the complexity, but doing it the "simple" way limits the things you can do while making it much easier to setup (and remember how it's "wired").

So some of the advice in the thread assumes you're doing it one of those ways, some of it assumes another, but all of it has to make assumptions because we don't know which way you have it setup.

 

As I mentioned.... this issue is solved.  Thanks

I thought I did!  I said it as ttS=1... that's MIDI right?

I believe I've already answered that a couple times.  With that said... this issue is now solved...  as I mentioned.

Try moving a Volume control all the way to 0 during playback. If your setup is as described, I guarantee all the drums will be silenced, and if you look at the fader for the drum channel in the TTS1 UI, it will be all the way down. If that track is not the last one, the volume will come back up to the level of the last track when you restart playback

Bingo!  That's it!  I was not listening when I moved the individual sliders.  I just saw that all the sliders were not moving together.  Thanks!

Each drum is on a separate track as I mentioned.  Yes, each TTS-1 drum is on MIDI channel 10.  However, when I move the slider for any one of the drum tracks, only that track is affected by the volume change.  I would have to adjust each individual slider for each drum part which is not what I wanted to do.

The work around that I mentioned was to BOUNCE all the separate MIDI drum tracks to one track (.wav).  Though not ideal, this is the only way I could find to achieve a global volume change for all the drums collectively.  If I adjust the channel that Cakewalk TTS-1 is on, then other instruments besides the drums that are also using TTS-1 are affected.

The drums are all TTS-1.  There is no option to OUTPUT to the new Stereo Bus or SEND.  So, what I ended up doing was to BOUNCE all the separate drum tracks to one track and adjusted the overall volume that way.

I created a Stereo Bus but don't see how to Output each of the drum tracks to that bus.  What am I missing

Thanks for all the responses.  I now have a number of things to try.  I will let you know how it goes.

Again, thanks!
