It could be very well be a bug. Or it could be an issue with how USB is handled by the OS. I use a master switch that turns on everything that is hooked up to the computer and Cakewalk. Some things don't need to be on at start. I have an amp that I turn on when I need it. All connected gear has to be on before I start Cakewalk.

Before I start any DAW I turn on all my hardware and let all the drivers load and settle in. Then I open my DAW.

Its a new DAW, new day and a new year. We have a lot to be thankful for. I hope everyone has a great new year.

My view is it will most likely be two competing places to view much the same stuff.

It seems to me that a forum of this sort is all about asking questions. It is Q&A.

Just as I said he was getting to the meaning of the question.

Absolutely right, Panning defeats the whole idea of binaural. I think Graig is answering to what is the underlying question.

This could be due to it being new and having to locate the files and setup the pictures of the tracks . I would think after some little time it may get faster.

I agree with you. The Q&A forum should be rolled into this forum. The Frequently ask Questions should be read only.

If you have a Sonar overlay on it there is a section called Control Group. The buttons are from left to right Track, Aux, and Main. This is where you move from tracks to buses and back. Without an overlay it is the top three buttons under Functions. Labeled Undo, Cancel, and Enter. Undo =Tracks. Enter = Bus. This was the only weakness with the Mackie Control. Each DAW developer was suppose to give Mackie a layout to create an overlay.

For MIDI the idea is it goes to a port a MIDI port. It is the correct term. A port is from the days when all MIDI went to hardware.

Windows 10 should at the very least give you as good of performance as Win 7. Most everybody reports better performance. However, some of the same things apply to a Windows 10 system as they did to a Windows 7 system. Nothing is as important as making sure you are using the right audio interface driver for best performance. This may mean using WDM instead of ASIO. If ASIO is used, and most recommend it, find the sweet spot for low latency vs. stability. There should be no delay in starting playback. It can be due to buffers being too low or too high. Be sure to set you computer to best performance not balanced as the default. Be sure to disable startup programs you don't need running in the background. Be sure to get the latest Windows 10 updates. As others have already said do not run Cakewalk in game mode. If you can use more than one hard drive. The C drive should be reserved for applications and VSTs. A second drive should be used for sample libraries and a third for projects. The more the better. Try to avoid programs that were meant for Windows 7 Make sure a program is Windows 10 compatible. Make sure you have full permissions throughout you system and drives. Remove Nvidia audio drivers from your system. Try to avoid your computer "calling home" via the internet when running Cakewalk. Some disable wifi too. Don't "optimize" Windows 10 as if it were Windows 7. As I think of more things I will add them. I hope this is helpful.

I like it a lot!

Were we really that young?

What happened to it? There used to be one.

Sorry Dave you don't look like a geek!😀 Besides a B3 player is the coolest cat around.

Ok I see. I was confused that you might be trying to modify an MC. LOL😀

Dave wonderful post. One thing though is there is sometimes a transient that can have a very high frequency component. This can and does give a directionality to some low frequency sounds. A bass drum hit for example. Also the bouncing back of low frequencies is what produces standing waves. If you find one in your room, and you should be able to, you will find when the phase is right it gets louder with low frequencies. In the good old days standard practice was placing speakers in corners so one could use the three surfaces to increase the bass response. Because back then most tweeters were highly directional many would point the speakers inward a little.

I'm unclear what this is for. Is it for an Mackie Control or your Nano Control? On the Mackie Control there is a bus button and a track button.

I am not going to say what I really think but let me say this it sounds a bit like "advanced basket weaving" to me. Music technology is a very undefined subject. Its also a moving target. Nothing taught today with apply tomorrow. However, Bach would probably love such a course. I like Bach so.......

Thats interesting Gswitz. I would think just the opposite. MIDI is tiny compared to nearly any other file size. Even in a cwp file. I wonder if it could be something else?

MIT needs to advertise?

Chuck I don't know what to say. You have always been a great friend.

My mouse takes very little room. Its a Logitech G500 and it is completely adjustable. It works in a space no bigger then my hand. To go from the bottom right corner to the top left corner moves about less then 2 inches . Yet it is very easy to have fine control. Its corded though. They should have a cordless model that can do the same.

I think it would be a hi shelf. You want the low freg. to pass through. Crossovers are to my understanding not adjustable unless they are electronic.
