after adding the image, save the file as a CWP (normal), then go to the folder (i have one called "templates") and make a copy of it. then renamed it "mytemplate".cwt (where "mytemplate" is whatever you want to call it - use 00, 01, 02 in front of the template name to make them sort to the top -- e.g. "00 record template" "01 mix template" "02 master template" etc) so: create or edit the new or existing template.CWP file insert the image into the notes section of a NORMAL project save as CWP copy & paste the CWP (so you can go back and edit it again later without starting over) rename the copied CWP to the template name (usually remove the word Copy) and extension of CWT copy the CWT into the \common\project templates and the \core\project template folder if you need to revise the template, then follow steps 1-5 and ignore step 2 (you already did)

check for the Windows and OS related updates as well. the supposedly backward compatible redistributables can be the cause. like today for me - new KB updates on the OS - so a quick run of the redistributables and rescan VST to be sure. everthing seems to be running normal. i just get into the habit of doing this to avoid finding out i have issues when i'm working on a live project...

are you connecting directly to the PC USB port or via a hub? many IO units do not like hubs. also check - is it possible the USB port is disabled? maybe plugin some other device to see if its active? do you have another IO device or could borrow one to see if it's something else in the system?

the only challenge (assuming all other steps are possible and my thought was auto-hotkeys) is selecting the track template. i don't believe there is a generic track template which is used by default when simply inserting a new track.

and every other audio program as well 🙂 so, it's not even showing up in the device manager at all? sound controllers? software devices? audio inputs and outputs? there are several sections it could appear under.

maybe your device has died? maybe you need to get the latest drivers from Presonus and reinstall it? maybe there are some troubleshooting steps on the Presonus site? if it's not showing up in the Windows device manager, then you need to fix that first. https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10001/OM_2777700106_AudioBox-Go_EN.pdf https://www.presonus.com/en-US/interfaces/usb-audio-interfaces/audiobox-series/2777700106.html

meaning using MIDI to create the new track, then trigger the arming and begin record? maybe using a MIDI controller to perform the steps in conjunction with some form of macro tool?

to me, that would seem to indicate you only have a single tempo - 76BPM. as David mentioned, you need to drag the edge of the clip to the next full measure (in the examples) to see the "cut". one good way to land on the beat is to set your snap to 1/4. for measures, setting it to 1 or 1/2 will make landing there easier.

is this one of those "audio-to-USB" cables for $5 on Amazon? one option might be to spend a bit more and a get a decent <$100 audio interface. that said check the device check the drivers see if a line-level input signal can drive it vs a guitar (which is a very low level signal).

it's almost like you'd want a sticky thread "Read/Watch This First" thingie to post links (with descriptions) of your videos

as part of the install process - did you select the cakewalk content / demo installation? if not, go ahead and run that. if you did, check in the content folder: C:\Cakewalk Content\Demo Projects

there is a text section in the beginning of the strum-it.cal file which might be what you're looking for? per this old thread: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Strum-it-cal-m1432672.aspx

check your tempo map - is it a consistent tempo?

hmmm, and yet many people can record and play back in the app. so first things first: 1) you have the INPUT and OUTPUT settings in your device configuration set up: a) input source b) output target maybe start with WASAPI SHARED if your IO unit supports it. 2) open a demo project and play it. any audio? no? repeat step 1. this should be the fastest way to test your audio output troubleshooting - make sure your Windows OS sound settings and the CbB sound settings are using the same sample rate. e.g. if you're using 44.1K in the OS, and 48K in the DAW, you're likely not going to hear it, or hear it the way you should.

agreed. i haven't played with the Studio One implementation, and i think MIDI changes made from the chord track makes sense. not sure how well chord changes in audio work out though. even using Melodyne directly to tweak (acoustic guitar) for example, switch a chord from D major to D minor or adding a note (C Major to C add9 for example) might not work as well.

you could do the same with Melodyne essential - drag the clip to the time bar so it has the timing info, then set it as a Melodyne region which then displays the chords and while you cannot edit polyphonic info, you can export it as MIDI.

i would be surprised if they didn't offer a loyalty pricing but doubt a freebie as the monies for those versions mainly went to Gibson.

maybe something like "Bandlab Studio"?

don't be ridiculous - free products have the adverts running continously which then expand (top, bottom sides) over whatever you're trying to work with for 10 seconds plus include playing audio and video snippets. preferably with adverts targeting your specifics - so old males - ED formulas, cremation services, cruises, and the latest Microsoft / Apple news.

so, using the smart tool you're seeing this icon on the edge of the clip you're trying to extend? in this example, it was a single measure using Step Sequencer to create the MIDI and then groove loop it then stretch using smart tool. so far, i have not be able to reproduce this issue - in existing or new projects.

i just leave the spyware in place. what happens to their mental state while listening to my sh*t is not my fault. 🤪

so, just pick up your acoustic guitar or sit at the acoustic piano and use your phone recorder. last i heard, there are several artists with platinum selling songs who did just that. boom! simple create music. Cakewalk provides creative tools but it's set into an engineering framework to handle electronic creation, recording, and manipulation. this thus shifts from merely performing live on an acoustic instrument(s), to orchestrating many things into a recording (or live performance for those daring enough). far from trivial or even simple. but the 7 P's still apply to all things.

this is the MIDI groove clip edit in the inspector that David is mentioning

yes MIDI doesn't need it - you just need to make sure your notes are within the boundary and trim the clip to the number of bars. in my MIDI clip, the notes are random, but the clip was 4 measures (via trimming) and so the groove clipping worked just fine.

that's the challenge for vector graphics - how many little lines make up a circle? and the more lines the more CPU/GPU intensive its gets. same for scalable fonts etc. so with bit images you have options to offload the display and a defined size and processing needs -- but on a 4K display, what worked in 1920x1080 is now hard to read, and scaling, well, oops - not so great. not a fan of the flat look but ok, my next monitor will likely be either 4K or 8K so it will help, and many apps and plugins are going that as reginaldStjohn noted, so i'll learn to use the flat views, and likely have to convince my spouse to let me get an 16ch SSL controller so i don't hurt my eyes due to blurry vectors or high contrast or ... 🙂 LOL
