Look at the sound settings in windows.

Rightclick the volume icon in the system tray, select recording devices.

It's in Swedish but you get the point.

You should have a Realtek recording device. Find it and activate it. Make it default.

Then open Cakewalk and go to device settings and select the Realtek recording device.

@sim8t3

Thanks for the picture. It seems Cakewalk is ok. Before we go to were i think the problem is i'll show you how it show up for me.

Settings devices:

Settings drivers:

Track view:

The red is a setting that show how much and what info you can see in the track pane. Well, if you expand the track. 🙂

We need more info to help.

A picture of the track/s with the inspector open and control bar visible would be nice. Set track pane to "all".

I preview audio and drag audio from the mediabrowser in to the track. I never used alt a.

I didn't react to that because i thought it was personal and necessary in this case.

Regards playlist i use another way to shift songs, sometimes. It isn't automatic and it probably have limitations in number of songs.

I open projects without closing them. You can find the open projects in the filemenu under windows. Then select and shift to the one to use next. I have had 4 projects at a time so far but nothing suggest there can't be more.

Should be menu bar.

Shift is a verb in this case.

I checked out "playlist" now. Never used it and it seems you can't do much wrong.

It have a column for bpm. Does it tell the right bpm?

It's natural for the pitch to change when the bpm changes.

I tried 3 project songs. 2 was fine but the third complained about an vsti missing. It wasn't but i think it was an updated version. It wouldn't play that song. All three showed the right bpm.

It only loaded the first song but didn't start playing. Had to click play manually in the transport. It continued ok to the second and wouldn't play the third.

Ok. I was thinking of midifiles that keep the tempo information if you open the midifile instead of importing it.

I have no idea what could be wrong with the playlist.

Do you export the song from the project to a folder somewhere? Where you go and load them into the playlist.

If so, it could be the export that messes them up. It happens sometimes when there's a wrong or missing setting in the export.

Try the "open" command in file menu.

I find it odd that calling me a lier isn't insulting.

We both seems to want the last word.

I suggest an end to this and keep to the topic. Nicotine withdrawal.

From past research I knew that drinking water is a good thing, in part by reducing the levels of certain things in a person's body.  But I followed your advice and Googled "Does drinking water help reduce . . . ."  Well, guess what?  Google says that drinking water is (a) good for reducing the harmful effects of some toxic elements in the body, (b) for fostering good health, (c) for minimizing certain health risks and conditions, etc.

Yes, drinking excessive amounts of water can have harmful consequences, but your claim about water is incorrect. And Google proves it!   

I hope you're joking.

I have told the truth.

But of course. If you can't handle the truth you are free to believe whatever you like.

Please everybody!

Think harder about how drinking water could rinse out toxins in your body.

Google and you will find that it is a myth.

Thanks to all who tried to help, by my intention was on a free cakewalk VST instrument which can be used externally, like a synth or maybe a rompler.

Google about "hosts".

There's many and Savihost and Nanohost is some free ones.

Use vsti's from the "freeware instruments thread".

Smoked for 40 years. 20 cigarettes a day. Very deep inhalation.

Soo, to the smoking mystery. It surely has more dimensions than written here and other places.

I am and has always been healthy. My last job, i worked there for 12 years, before pensioning had me on sickleave only for half a day because of food poisoning.

After approx every 10 years i would stop smoking for exactly a year to give my body a chance to clean itself up. Maybe that helped?

Or was it that i seldom sat down. Always walking and used public transportation to work. The last work place was a ten minute walk from the tube. I preferred that instead of waiting for the bus to travel that last bit. Maybe that helped?

I like to walk and did so on the weekends if it was sunny. Usually for 2-3 hours without pause. I still do it every day it's sunny. Maybe that helps?

I felt relaxed when i smoked. Maybe the rise in bloodpressure was something my brain needed to feel relaxed. It definitely was relaxing in the workplace when you had an excuse to go out and take a smoke break for 5 minutes. Non-smokers was a bit jealouse of that. They was afraid to go out for 5 minutes without an accepted reason.

To quit cold turkey or using nicotin gum depends on the individual. To keep being smokefree i think there has to be a big reason. Could be economic if the income goes very low. Or choosing between the one you love and a smoke.

For me it was my body signaling something wasn't quite right. Tested change of foods and some other small changes and it didn't help so i quit cold turkey.

Smokefree for approx 6 years now.

PS. The only water i drink is the coffee. 5 mugs a day = 1 litre. And 1 glass of lactosfree milk with dinner.

When downloadin/installing Cakewalk there was also an option to dl/install add-ons. One of them being studio instrument suite. Cakewalk Studio Instruments includes a Drum Kit, Bass Guitar, Electric Piano and String Section.

You can, in the daw, go to help menu and select "check for updates" and that should give you the option to dl/install the add-ons you want if you didn't go for it the first time.

There is lots of free vsti plugins from third parties. That also goes for free effect plugins.

This forum has topics for that:

I use this one when i miss an emoji in a forum.

As well as being offered as a standalone download, Pro Tools Intro also comes baked-in to all Pro Tools 2022.9 installations, meaning that, if your paid subscription or trial version of that software expires, you’ll still have a DAW that offers basic functionality. We should also mention that Pro Tools Intro can be installed and used without the need for an iLok.

One thing that you can't solve by using a plugin is CLAP.

Hopefully they adopt this format. 👍

Maybe it has to do with keyboard shortcuts that's messed up?

Check W (delay) and D (remove) in preferences.

Another way is to remove all songs from the playlist and close it. Shutdown Cakewalk and restart the computer. Try with a new playlist.

These guys is part of an acapella group called Home Free.
They had opera training in college 15 years ago.
The last ten years they have been singing country and pop.
Stunning performance. 🤩

Thanks for the link.

Patch switching is a bit awkward on this one. Normally you'd select patches thru the VSTi but N/A here. Patch Browser or manual entry using a list.

Would be cool to have creatable/editable list accessible thru the Bank/Patch buttons for VSTs.

You could try a search on KVRaudio forum for syxg50. I remember seeing someone had made an interface for it. Don't remember if it said to show patches. It was over a year ago.

Can I license this on two computers ?

Yes.

I have installed it on two pc's and activated them with the same license (redeemcode).

The guitar pro tab archive marked with "download" in red is a working dl. It's gp3 and gp4 files.

Viruscheck after download but before you open the zip. I checked it with MS defender. Didn't find anything bad.

http://alwaysoldschool.blogspot.com/2014/07/guitar-pro-tab-archive-55000.html

I stayed away from those further down. Seems a bit too eager.

I got my licence (redeemcode) now and dl'ed the exe.

You dl the trial from guitar pro site and then use Jrr's licence to unlock it.

How long do you usually have to wait on the redeem code, and the plugin itself?

Jrr way to handle things is new to me. Manual handling? Waiting time?
