  1. Every member knows no forum here allows politics.  Even the Coffee House. Please don't interject politics into these discussions. 

    I wish you all will be safe and that we will all come out of this healthy.

  2. Down to the right bottom of the screen are the controls for adjusting zoom.  One is a minus sign - this will zoom out making the tracks show in their entirety. The other is a plus sign + that will zoom in allowing you to see them expanding beyond the  screen.  Hitting those will allow you to adjust the length of the  tracks.

  3. I'm a moderator. There are a few of us here. We try to do the right thing . We do not let our emotions interfere with our job. I have to say the KVR mods didn't use common sense in simply asking you your status. Our reason for being is to make the Cakewalk forum a pleasant place to be. To have an environment to  ask questions and help anyone that wants it.  We try hard to not step on members toes or restrict speech too much.  We do provide a place where people are not attached or threatened  or making a place where members do not feel welcome. 

    We stop trolls and people that want to do damage to the membership.  

    I think that all the mods here have done a fantastic job.

    Just got this message from KVR:

    You have been permanently banned from this board.

    Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

    Reason given for ban: I can't believe that you are not a dealer... I think it's time to end this abuse of the Sell & Buy forum.

    I have NEVER been a DEALER of ANY kind.

    THIS is WHY you don't make "forum members" Administrators!!!
    They make "judgement calls" based on their "personal assumptions" and 
    their own "Biases"!!!

    All this means to me is you will have more time here to keep us informed. I have no idea why they sought to ban you but their loss is our gain. 

    Its time to tell you thank you for all the work you have done to help us make the best deals.  You have been at it a very long time and we appreciate it.

    On the contrary, I'd say there FAR more to tweak with Win10 vs. Win7.

    Lots of extraneous "stuff" running in the background, automatic-updates, etc...

     I have Windows 10 Pro on a couple of machines. They both have the latest build. I have not done much to either other than stop installed programs from putting a bunch of startup helper programs from auto-loading. I use autoruns (part of the system internals from MS)  for this. Windows itself has not been tweaked as XP was  for example.   

    I do video and photographic editing along with audio. I have not run into a problem do to not tweaking Windows.

    The reason I gave the answer that I did was it is true. Yet, it is a bit more complicated than just not tweaking  Windows. I have noticed just about every program I have phones home to alert if there is an update.  Also, Windows itself has its own messaging system that for example this forum uses to let me know if a thread I am on is posted to. Yet this does not interfere with programs that require exclusive use of the system. 

     

     

  6. Depending on how old one is it is highly unlikely one past 20 or so has hearing that does come close to 20 to 20 KHz. Our hearing over time degrades. This is normal. The older you are the less chance you can hear very high frequencies. Most humans cut off around 15K when older. This becomes more pronounced the older we get. If one hasn't been very careful with protecting ones ears  from very loud sound that in and of itself can damage hearing greatly.  Saying that it becomes hard for me to believe anyone over middle age has hearing acute enough to make any definitive statement regarding the merits of high sample rates through listening.

    I am 70 and though I hear well for my age I also know people that are younger than me that can't hear music that I have no trouble hearing. Still I would never put my ears up against a 20 year old or younger when it comes to acuity.  

    Also it is true we have learned to hear what we remember even though actually we are no longer able to hear what we think we hear.  A simple test  is using flat frequency headphones and use a sine wave generator and sweep it up to where no sound is heard. Check what that cutoff is.  I'll bet most can't get beyond 15K.

    BTW it is a very complicated subject and I have only touched on the most basic points here.  There are a slew of variables that impact all sorts of points regarding human hearing.  

  7. If by chance you pressed  Pause it is possible what you are seeing is a feature in CW to maximize CPU. 

    From the Cakewalk Manual

    "Like the Scroll Lock key, the Pause key now works as a special GUI throttle toggle key. When the Pause key is
    pressed, Cakewalk runs in a CPU conservation mode by reducing the frequency of GUI updates. For example, VU
    meter updates, Now position pointer and progress updates will appear to update less frequently."

    Then make sure to route the outputs of your tracks to the master.

    Good point. One can set a bus as the default bus. This will automatically route any new track to that bus. I like to have more than one buss for different instruments . Like drums go to a drum bus and GTs to another but all outputing to the master bus.
