Thanks for checking!!! I just did a plain old refresh and I got 279, too: And 4421 + 279 is a multiple of 100!! 😉

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the shift-refresh trick (top 3 below) and also clearing browser history (the next 3): [image deleted] Maybe tomorrow I might try rebooting my PC each time I want to check the status. Maybe.

YUP!!! These are from the span of several minutes five days ago (in order of occurrence): [image deleted] Not only does it change, but Column 1 + Column 3 doesn't add up to a multiple of 1,000. Fuzzy Math! 😛

Connection: Us and Them --> Them or Us.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that "The Black Page # 1 & # 2" was not worth listening to. I meant that spending time to explain why it wasn't off-topic wasn't worth it.

Never mind. EDIT:

Non-Off-Topic Song removed due to a misunderstanding. Its really not worth it.

For the record, I have given up trying to figure out why TTS-1 consistently works on my PC when it doesn't work properly for other users. For me TTS-1 was always just a software substitute for hardware (some of my Roland stuff). I found it useful for sketching out possible arrangements / orchestrations, playing midi files just to hear what they sounded like, for diagnosing audio routing / interface issues, etc.

Just listened to this and discovered that even though I hadn't heard it in decades, I still don't like it. Surprised that you didn't post a song with a groovy sax part, like "Yeh, Yeh" (live version) or the studio version. Georgie Fame's version doesn't tie in with the current song. But maybe this version does (since its an instrumental)? Or this one?

I didn't realize the logo images hadn't been documented in Colin's Guide. Great that you noticed that omission!

Thanks for the reference to Gig Performer--it looks like it has a feature I have been wanting in Cakewalk for a while: a modern updated successor to Studioware so users can create their own visual/user interfaces for plug-ins. Am I inferring too much about Gig Performer?

When you edit the post, if you posted the images directly, at the bottom there should be images with trash cans. Click the trash can in the lower right to delete.

Not a big deal to me; I don't think they would be interested in the ancient software. And I certainly wouldn't want the copyright/license enforcement police coming after me.

Actually I never thought of that. So any one of us could give the OP our copy of Sonar 8.5 as an ISO image and if they have a serial number and activation code they would be good to go. But I have a feeling this OP might not have safely stored that information. They have wandered off anyways so I guess we need more info from them first. @User 905133 I don't see Sonar 8 on my Products page I think it was not part of that system. But then again I might not of bothered to register it. In those days I just would install, use the serial numbers and use it. X1 LE was the first version of Sonar I registered. I still have the original disk for Guitar Studio 6. I got that free with a piece of Roland gear. Re: slartabartfast's comment and your reply: (1) I thought of the same thing as slartafast yesterday because it was consistent with what I remembered from reading the old SONAR license agreements and things that I have read in the forum. (2) Historically I made hard copies (and sometimes screen shots) of my Serial Numbers and Registration Codes. I have no idea if I am the only one who did things like that. Re: Your not seeing Sonar 8 (and serial numbers / registration codes) via the help links: (1) I cannot make any guesses why not. Maybe I was lucky, because: (2) here's part of my list (without the numbers and the dates which I will not give to anyone--except maybe my children as part of my estate) (3) Per the background/explanation on the Bandlab help page I linked, I do remember learning about the opportunity to sign up for the online system and I remember thinking at the time it was a good idea (that is, it made sense to me to sign up for the account). I have no idea how many people opted for those accounts, how many didn't, or even how I was notified of the option. I know I was on the TTS/Cakewalk mailing list, so maybe it was in a periodic mailer. (4) If I recall correctly (in my case, not sure about others), X1 Producer was posted to my account before others that I purchased earlier (5, 6, 8.5, etc.). On my personal list, those have a date later than X1; however, 3 was backdated to 2003. I don't think any of my purchases before 3 were entered into my online account. (5) I have no explanations for the whys; just saying that at least in my case pre-X1 products were added and are still there. (I checked before posting the link.) @rev You might want to check the Bandlab help link I gave above. If you created the type of account that will give you your list of early SONAR products, perhaps that will help. ** UPDATE: **This path won't help since you don't have copies of the disks.

Thanks for the link to the Dylan Birthday video. All sorts of styles--some artists who paid tribute by emulating different aspects of Dylan's performance, some artists who re-made the songs in their own performance styles, and various combinations of the two. Until I saw his contribution to the birthday event / fundraiser, I totally forgot about Bill Frisell. Not everyone likes jazz, but if you do, you might like this:

Several days ago, I tested the update-via-Bandlab Assistant method and for the first time, I was not able to get past the Downloading 0/0 hangup. However, the CbB in-app update method continued to work very smoothly for me as it has for quite a while. Did you try that route? Also, it seems like a number of people have had success with the "New Cakewalk installer" announced and discussed in this thread. Did you try that route?

This makes complete sense. Phil Spector had a hand in producing John Lennon's "Sometime in New York City" album which included some bonus material from the Frank Zappa Fillmore East concert when Lennon and Ono sat in. As a Zappa fan, it was clear to me that Spector did not come anywhere close to the production values I was used to--it was muddied, the vocals and instruments were not as crisp as I was used to--even by 1972 standards--and the sonic material was not well balanced. Decades later some of the material from the concert was included on an official Zappa release. Hearing that material reaffirmed my early impression of how awful the Lennon/Ono/Spector production values were. So if the new "All Things Must Pass" used the masters to undo the heavy hand of Spector's style of production, I would assume that's a good thing. Still, I agree that $121 is asking a lot.

Personally, I am very glad that (1) Cakewalk has a policy of making on-going improvements and that (2) the changes since the last published guide are detailed in a cumulative thread. Note: The date of the original post is June 29, 2021, since it was started with the features introduced in the 2021.06 Update; however, the thread covers updates through two days ago (August 6, 2021).

So far as I can see, it can be any version of ST, not just ST4 (unless I missed it). However, it looks like it is only open to people who have a social media account: Not being a social media user, I assume that means Facebook, Twitter, etc. Anyone know if Bandlab (the App) is considered social media and if public posts there can have hashtags? Hmmm. I guess the answer is, "Yes:" . . . or #iksampletankcontest I assume.

I can relate! Once I figured out Workspaces enough to make customized workflows, I stopped using screensets and have been happy with the switch.

Browser Notes maybe?

Shortcuts will do it? Or is a directory junction needed?

When I did an on-line search for Dynameter, I got the maker's website which includes a text-based explanation, a short video demonstration, and a longer video explanation.

bandlab.com works here. Have you tried different browsers? Do you have software that filters sites?
