Kurre

Kurre, buried in the utility menus, there were toggles that needed switching to USB. Both devices now work by USB, which opens up many more options. Thank you!

You're welcome.

Could i ask if you would vote my answer up. It's to the left with arrows over/under a zero.

I've never had a green best answer before.

Also would be a good idea to add (solved) to this topic title.

If you can see the usb-midi in Cakewalk it have to mean that there's no midi sent to Cakewalk.

First check manual if there are settings for usb-midi in the Yamaha hardware.

Second is using a midi-monitor to check the midiflow.

More than a year to give an answer.

I would hate to be in a chat room with you. 😜

Klevgrands >Skaka< vst has some of them.

I don't remember if this has been shown here. It's a good compilation.

My favorite one is the first song. Aerosmiths - Dream on.

Zplane have a plugin named deCoda.

You can use that together with a song you like.

deCoda isolates the part of the song you like. Pick a drum part to listen and compare.

So...where's the coupon code?

That is some great detective work.  How did you find out about the trigger words and who wrote up the trigger word list?

Thanks. One of the topics here on the forum mentioned a YT video. I checked it out and that guy had come quite a bit in solving it. His name is mentioned in the pdf. It is Daniel Carl Heister.

The video:

For some reason he is doing the right thing with renaming the template but do not point out that the filetype need to be untouched.

My guess is that it is his usual way to rename files when saving and thus perfectly normal behaviour.

When i rename files in "save" windows i usually delete everything on the name line, write the new name and let the filetype be addended automatically. That did not work in this case.

Why? I haven't the faintest idea. 🤔

@User Zero

I'm afraid i have to destroy the theory that the webview app is the culprit. It most likely is not.

I and other win7 users have observed the installation of edge webview go ahead without any problem.

Concentrate your troubleshooting on other things and don't get hung up on this.

The start screen icons, especially the factory ones for templates, and descriptions on how to add images seemed very vague to me.

So i dug in to it and have done a "how to" pdf about it.

You could, if you don't already have, activate "Suspend Audio Engine when Cakewalk is not in focus".

Have you tried to only have Cakewalk open without any other software running. At least you could get a hint if Cakewalk behaves nice under that condition.

I just tried today and no such luck.

The Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox sometimes block logging in to places. Maybe Waves put some tracking script at the login and thus set of that automatic protection.

Are you aware that the mixer should be plugged into line level inputs and not into pre amps? It is not a good idea to double up on mike pre amps. It's not needed and can raise the noise floor.

A mixer is a great idea for front end and can handle just about any input and boost it to line level. Once again.. basic audio engineering 101.  

So if your audio interface has a line level inputs, usually on the back as 3/4, use that and not the front panel inputs. Unless those can by pass the pre amps which some do with switches. 

Yes, i'm aware. 

It would be nice to avoid an extra box but i have very old mics and i don't throw away stuff and buy new ones unless its dead and not working at all. The quality is good enough (for home recording) even with an old mic when you get the input levels up. 👍

@scook

Thanks. Sorry about that. I read your first post. But i read all posts first and then follow links.

As i don't know much about drum maps i didn't know the difference between master.ins and alternate notes name i thought it was waste of time to follow that link if they wasn't persistent.

Don't need to use the Drum Map Manager to create simple Drum Maps. Any tool capable of writing a text file may be used along with a freely available ins-to-drum map program.

I tried to google that. Three first pages gave nothing.

I now use a small hardware mixer as gain for low output mics. It gives you double amplification of the signal by setting the input sensitivity and then raising the output signal.

I'm sorry that i can't help with exactly what's wrong. But maybe knowing that my latest Firefox browser don't have a problem loading the images in those parts i visited, Cakewalk/x and Sonar/x in english, can help in troubleshooting.

To not get a reaction from someone else after 22 hours point to a personal problem with your browser. Check all those security filters settings. Maybe popup block?

Firefox have an improved tracking protection that sometimes block images and notifications which i need to see. I always start with setting that to off in my troubleshoots.

Yes, Miditech MIDIface is good. I use the 8x8 one. 👍

Which mean i can connect 8 hardware with midi to my pc.

If i have another pc with its own midi interface i could of course connect that pc and its midi interface with my main pc and its midi interface.

Sorry for being so dense; I am just not following what you are saying. You said it was a lie that you could use PP to pay for subscriptions at all the sites you tried. I was able to pay with PP so it clearly was not a lie.

Do you have a PP balance that you want to use to pay for your purchase? And instead PP is asking for a credit card? Is that where the problem lies? Otherwise, how did you want to pay?

Are you a troll?

Hoping i have a fit and lash out?

Surprise surprise, i'm not going to.

Well. I used my paypal account which is linked to my credit card if that is what you mean.

Thank you.

To explain the different experiences we have had i suggest following.

1. Setup: You have a creditcard linked to PayPal. I do not have a creditcard or giftcard linked to PayPal as mentioned in my earlier posts.

2. Scenario: The seller has a PayPal button which when clicked on makes a connection to PP. The buyer says ok to the sign in/connection and the seller makes a request to PP for the amount of money he/she wants.

3. Condition: The seller specifically request name and number of a creditcard.

4. Outcome: If PP has creditcard info it handles this in the background and what the buyer sees is only the webpage providing the product name, quantity and total amount. Plus the ok button to approve the transaction. If PP do not have any creditcard info it will present you with a webpage that tells you to fill in name and numbers of a creditcard. There is no way around that webpage telling me to fill in my creditcard so i cant pay.

I seldom get that creditcard request so logically it is a specific request, borderline demand, which some sellers do.

Not sure what you are on about. My Computer Music subscription is through PocketMagazines and I paid with Paypal. I have used Zinio in the past, and paid with PayPal. Could it be a problem with the country you are in?

PayPal account is one thing. PayPal creditcard/giftcard is another thing.

Did you or did you not use a creditcard or giftcard with PayPal?

Maybe try your luck at PocketMagazines?

I have tried to pay for things and being law abiding  five times now and being denied by the seller so i'm thru begging  someone to take my money.

And all stated you could pay with PP. That was a lie. The f*ers now got an email account to bombard with spam for free.

I went to zinio.com and tried to buy it there. Only mentioned the german issue but that wasn't the problem.

It revealed that i can never buy a magazine because of their refusal to accept payment from an PayPal account.

I use PayPal specifically to avoid giving out my creditcard numbers. Meaning that PayPal don't have them to give out because i haven't given it to them either.

I've read somewhere that PP takes a transaction fee which banks do not.

What's so hard to just add that fee to a price and be up front about it. If i really want something a small fee is not going to stop me.

I really find this refusal to accept my money very absurd in this age of supercapitalism.

Then of course you have the scrub tool, j, on the keyboard.

I tried to only uninstall the oldest one. It went well but also affected the newest one. It lost its icon and probably got uninstalled as well because i decided to uninstall that too and got the message that it could not find it but it could remove the entry in the list.

No problem to have them uninstalled. Everything is working ok without them.
