  1. I'm not sure where it is... but look for one of those little box menus maybe titled "plugins" or something similar... once there it allows you to add checks to categorize your plugins.

    I had a similar issue where my VSTs were showing up in the insert plugins, but not in the synth rack...

    Finding this menu allows you to categorize your plugins (even to put them into subcategories for the drop down menu) and should show them in the places you desire.

    Let me know if this helps ( :

  2. I can't confirm, but what I can say is i long used such style of sounds and often achieved it via this way...

    if you want a long slow slide you need to start the note you're sliding to early. (as in a longer drawn out note), and adjust your slide setting so that it reaches the note on the beat you want it to.

    - start the end note at the point you want the slide to begin
    - adjust slide setting until you hear it reach your destination note on the correct beat

    you could also potentially mess with ADSR envelope filters on whatever soft instrument you're using if available, but probably simpler to follow above method.

    Hope this helps at all ( :

    I think they need to add a dizzy react for posts 😩💫

    Top notch info, brother! Tho my theory knowledge doesnt stretch so far as to immediatwly understand.

    So are you saying that swinging ⬅️ that way is wrong ¿!? Cause it sounds right, if i swang in the opposite direction it doesnt souns as intended. But i didn't feel my backwards swing sounded wrong or anything out of the ordinary ?

  4. @Blogospherianman

    Massive thanks for such an indepth response. 

    At the moment im currently using the quantize "effect" when you right click on the clip... i was using 30% swing as it sounded close to what i was playing (originally didn't realise i was swinging, until i drew my midi in and it sounded off).

    A bit annoying not being able ti have the grid swung, as when viewing my recorded midi it's harder to visually tell how off or on you are. (I make dance based music, but like some elements to stay a little "loose" to give it a bit more natural sound)

    I'll defijitely come back to your reply a few times as was a lot to take in (that i havent used yet, but sound like a few useful methods in there)

    Have you tried opening the project from the "recovery file" instead of the original project file.  I've done that then exported tracks out of the troublesome project.

    Yeah i tried this but this just opened a glitched looking project window. 

  6. Just curious... cant tell if this is what yiu described or not, 

    But theres a list in one of those little box menus where you can select what kind of plugin it is...

    I had this with the built in strings/e piano/bass vsts they were showing up as insert effects, found this menu and ticked them as soft synths.

    I think you already expressed this, but if not it might be your answer.

    Can you post a larger photo of that error ?

    Something is obviously causing your project to crash, it could be something other than that plug in like a failing device, corrupt driver, exc.

    Also cant really help unless I have some details like OS (including bit type-32/64 ?) and soundcard.

    Oh my bad, I'm not sure how? I uploaded the screengrab on the desktop site so im not sure why it's not full res. I'll try figure that out.

    Not sure my specs exactly I'll try update that soon too.

    The thing it says is causing the crash is the .dll file of cassete 808

    I'm sorry this happened to you, and we've all been there... 

    But when was the last backup you made of the project?  

    If you went more than an hour without backing up the project (and you made a ton of edits in that time) that's a hard lesson to learn.   If you NEVER backed it up after having "spent the whole day" on the project, well, that's a much worse, but necessary, lesson to have to learn...

     

    I make fresh saves at each major step i make, new sections, events or whatnot. Unfortunately it crashes for each of them.

    Fortunately with it opening in the background behing the error box, i was able to export it as a midi file and recreate the project with a different instrument.

    Unfortunately, when i saved my bass sound as a preset and bank, when loadin them on the vst it doesnt change the parameters at all.

    Just spent the whole day working on a project only for Cakewalk to hit me with "a fatal error has occurred", claiming a vst causing the problem telling me the program will close.

     

    If I wait for the project to load and hit play, the project plays fine including the softsynth in question... if i hit "yes" or "no" to the prompt to save recovery file Cakewalk closes.

    Why is this happening and how to get around it?! There clearly isnt a problem as the project plays and loads fine, but Cakewalk is insistent on closing.

    By this point I'm ready to say bye to Sonar/Cakewalk/Bandlab/whatever name is being used for good and move to Studio One.

    (NOTE): When Cakewalk loads it says there are 0 errors found with the plugins.

    This is a very good list.  Here's a description of one piano.  I wonder if the developer used Google translate?

    "Keyzone Classic is another straightforward and free piano VST that is likewise exceptionally appraised. Included in a straightforward manner, you’ll alter assault, rot, maintain, and a predetermined number of different settings. This assists with keeping the interface basic while as yet holding some measure of sound molding capacity.

    Notwithstanding having an incredible interface and astounding sounds, Keyzone Classic will likewise keep running on both macOS and Windows."

    After that description I HAD to download it!

    Hahaha

    As soon as you mentioned translate I knew exactly what page that would be. I remember reading it like "assault? Rot¿!? Main... oh Ha Ha"

    Brilliant. Been tempted to start referring to them using these terms since.

    Hey if you haven't found a solution I may have a fix ---!!! ( I had similar problem)

    My instruments that came with Cakewalk were only showing in the effects slots on channels and not as VSTs...

    There is an option somewhere (some kind of list of VST and effects ... I can't remember where exactly) some kind of list/category/ settings where you have check boxes of what kind of software the vst is - effect, instrument, etc

    If you can find this page you can check the box for instrument and it should show up!!! 

     

    (Hopefully this vague descript is a help)

    I doubt it's an incompatibility with the update, as there are hundreds of notebooks with Realtek HD chips that function perfectly with CbB, including mine, running the latest version. The forum would be exploding with this issue. It's not out of the question for an update to expose another issue in your configuration, but then that's what we're looking for anyway.

    My only thoughts at this point is that you really need to load up a project that works and go into Preferences and comb through every setting, no matter how trivial it may seem, especially on the drivers and devices and MIDI pages, and note any discrepancies between what you find there and what appears when you start a new project. Look for the slightest difference in nomenclature, like "Headphone" instead of "Headphone HD" or anything.

    You can even screen cap each one with the Windows Snipping Tool, just type Snip into your Search Bar and it will come up. Then you can call them up side-by-side for comparison.

    It could be that you have some audio in your old projects that is setting the chip to a friendly rate/depth, I don't know.

    Also, make sure that you're testing using the most vanilla of synths! Fire up TTS-1 and blorp around on it, or the SI-Bass or String Section or Electric Piano or something absolutely known to work with CbB. Don't load up a Reaktor ensemble or Massive or something.

    BTW, if you can figure out how to do it, it's friendly etiquette to post your system specs in your sig, look down at mine for an example. That way you don't have to keep answering questions about how much RAM, what processor, version of Windows,, etc.

    Still can't find any differences at all.

    And Yeah I'm doing it using basic vsts or whatever.

     

    Ah, as for sig and specs I'll try get round to that at some point (I don't see an option for it yet as I've just joined... And also I don't see anyone's sig at all either)

    Shiii  well that just made it worse.

    What I tried: I tried starting a new project, saving it, then opening it and seeing if it behaved as other existing projects.

    Result: no cigar... the distortion persists.

    But what's worse: now existing projects are also distorting on playback. -_-

    Well... in my existing project with distortion, I increased buffer... Fixed sound... reduced buffer back. Sound stayed find.

    So, tried it in the new saved project... distortion stayed, HOWEVER... what is interesting is increasing the buffer affects the way the distortion sounds... it kinda dragss it out more, if I really increase the buffer (on a bassdrum) the bassdrum sound almost completely disappears. The more I increase The buffer the lower pitch the distorted sounds become.

    So perhaps there is some relevance??? Does anyone know what else deals with buffer related things??

    You know what... I'ma try another possible work-around... 🤞🏼

    I'm starting to think that your best bet may be to create a template by deleting all the data from one of your existing projects that loads okay and just start your new projects from that!

     All you're doing is mixing, not recording, right?

     

    Didn't work 😞💔

    Erm, I'm using it gr8 protection/ composition. But ain't really "recording" anything at the moment other than midi.
