Kurre

He was attacked by a KVR user in his own thread and accused of shitty support on a different product that was not mentioned in that thread. He didn't like that.

It was WK who suggested they moved their discussion to the "off topic" forum. It escalated to namecalling each other and the moderator got a swing of it by doing nothing.

I found it absurd that he was the only one that got banned. The other two should have been banned too. They provoked him.

It just hit me what the biggest difference is.

Waves Tune has a rather tiny not scalable window.

(Obs. It's the scan that takes 5-10 sec to be done after playing.)

I have to confess that i've only used Melodyne once so...i know the theory.

That's just who i am. I'll be interrested in something and test it once. Then i'll move on to the next thing and when i come back after some months...if it's a trial/demo it don't work any longer. I tend to stay away from trials/demos.

Aside from that, WT has two different versions. Waves Tune and Waves Tune real time. Real time is to pitch correct live performance. Waves Tune is an editor and you can edit the audio scan, note by note, in different ways before converting it to midi or save it as a new wav with the corrections you made.

Ok, i'll shut up now. I'm hearing myself as a salesman for Waves and that's no fun. I don't like salesmen.

It's just that i was so happy to see that it worked ok with that affordable price. I don't have the money to buy extremely priced software as Melodyne. (I don't pay for stripped down software. That's just developers way to milking it and get away with it.) (And the technology of it is over 10 years old so it is like selling a 10 year old car for the same price as it was launched.)

I've read up on tuning software and it seems all of them have the flaw that the resulting midi has to be cleaned up a bit. Notes with very short duration often have to be deleted afterwards.

You seem to have decided to buy Melodyne but for other readers not so sure:

Waves Tune:

You drag your wav-file to a track. You drag Waves Tune from audio fx to the track and its fx-bin. You play your wav-file and WT scans it and converts it to midi. It's done 5-10 sec after the wav-file finish play.

If for some reason it doesn't sync with the play line there is a Rewire plugin that comes with it and you drag that to an empty track2 and the sync should work. I've never had to do that.

I bought waves "Tune" on sale for 29.95 and am satisfied with the result converting audio to midi.

Though their plugin manager is a bit irritating installing tons of vst's where 1 would be enough.

The price varies, so right now it's a bit high but probably would decrease in a month or two.

Considering 14% of the worlds pc still uses windows 7 even after the support are gone it would be a mistake to let CbB be unusable on windows 7.

It would need some outside the box thinking...and as the time fly by it seems they're back to the old pace i read about and those bugfixes that don't remove but instead put in the bugs.

Noone care, i know.

But lack of rollback is why i move over to Reaper.

Groove or rex file maybe?

It's the opposite of Reaper.

Reaper expects the track first and everything else inserted into the same track.

Cakewalk is more everything on its own track. Instruments first and tracks second.

Thanks for sharing these!  I have done some customization with themes, but (1) nothing with the FX Chain Images and (2) nothing as nice as these!! These look great!!!

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you can do so much more "themes" out of all the objects. These three was the obvious ones and used as examples of the quality of the graphics.

With fxchains you replace one object at a time. You can use red knobs with the goldie body if you will.

There are some photos as background. Those are from my fathers digitized slides. I declare these cropped versions and the rest of the graphics as public domain.
Body is the same as background.
Knob is the same as rotary.
Nameplate...well, isn't it obvious.
CbB in a file name refer to the pastell colors, red green blue yellow(ish), used in prochannel graphics. I picked those colors and used them for a bit of color coordinating on some of the objects.
The theme folders is mostly for organizing. It is about creative graphics and not to copy some hardware look.
When you're tired of looking on the same ui all the time, you now have the ability to liven things up.

Download zip from here: Gofile.io changed to a time limit for files.

Info on snapshots: 

Wood - brown theme, button onoff blue and nameplate silver.
Blue - blue theme.
Goldie - Yellow theme.

I just skipped the X and went direct for the conclusion.

Seems i nailed it perfectly.

Well, minor problem. I adjust as always.

I sure hope not.  That would force upgrades that users will eventually find destroy their rig due to not going to Windows 10. 

Yes it will.

Windows announced big changes to the underlying code structure in Win10. It is going to be more and more incompatible with earlier windows versions.

Which means that sooner or later CbB devs will have to take a decision if they should allow their code to grow only for the sake of win7 and 8 compatibility. Maybe future Win10 code can't coexist with earlier code without massive amount of extra code.

If that happens Cakewalk moves from Windows only to Windows 10 only.

And without a Linux or Apple or Android version the future is...? Well, they have to rely on online Bandlab to be a huge hit.

Have you checked that your win8 is 64-bit? You need that for CbB to work.

If so, on this page: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/
go down to "Redistributables and build tools" and expand it.
Go down to "Visual Studio 2013 VC++ Redistributable" and download the x64 version.

Activation is independent of installing a new version. You can choose to reactivate at any time from the bandlab assistant menu.

That is avoiding the question. You probably took the political route of being vague to protect your back.

I take that for a yes. Because if it can not be answered with a definitive no, it surely will happen at some time in the future.

You all feel free to say what you want about windows versions now.

Lazy me learned hexadecimal to work with sysex.

Would there be a time when the refresh activation from BandLab assistant refused to do it because of me don't having the latest update? Or "some update".

In other words, does the Bandlab activation react to existing update version?

The answer is NOT dependent on windows version.

PLEASE do not mention it and ruin a perfectly fine question.

Don't make contact.

I can't stand kontakt.

You can do a Custom gui for fxchain/prochannel.

The button is a strip of 5 buttons. Only button 1 and 4 is used. Why is that? And is there any circumstance when all five of them is used?

 I know it is assigned to an on/off button in the effect pointed to, but why have five of them and not two?

(Would be nice if you could step thru them by clicking. Could expand the idea by having more buttons on the strip and assign to a range.)

If you read the manual, it says that you have to mark each note yourself to be able to save as midi.

It's extemely hard to extract midinotes from multiple instruments at the same time that's mixed together in a song.

It's a big miss that they didn't allow for the import and selection of a single instrument to midi.

If someone could "AI" that midi conversion so the midi notes didn't need cleaning up afterwards, that would attract buyers.

My personal guess is that the devs have thought about inputs and outputs.

It's harder to manually add audio outputs than it is to add midi inputs. Thus leaving it to the user to decide how many midi inputs they need.

Aha, gotcha...

So it's here you're hiding. I knew there had to be a win 10 war somewhere. And here it is in the notification about Cakewalk update.🤗

Windows 7 pro R U L E S !

@Kurre is that original film or edited, in your profile? I can't stop laughing .

It's an old gif i found when going through all of my graphics folder. In search of things i can use when making skins.

It probably is 10-15 years old. I'm a compulsive downloader. If it's free and somewhere on the big wide net. I'm gonna find it and download it.

Oh, mummy want to hear from us!

Rush to the net.

It isn't really apparent if you have an audio sample in your audiotrack that sounds "trial" or if it is a notification with the written word "trial".

If soundsample - get rid of it.

If notification - usually there would be some lead on what program is generating it. Get rid of that program.

Yes, not very helpful but not much else to do.
