In some cases if [ I ] is set to None, it is actually Omni. By the way [ I ] is Input. As a word "Ninguno" might mean "None," but setting [ I ] to "None" can display as "Omni." In this case, for [ O ] = "Ninguno" on the Master Bus, it means "None." Meaning the audio going to the Master Bus is going Nowhere. PS: The Omni/None thing has been a source of confusion. Not sure if its the same in Spanish.

👍

Why not use a more modern PC (e.g., XP era), that has a 5 1/4" floppy drive to copy the disks to a thumb drive? Never mind. I don't think XP era PCs had 5 1/4" drives.

Correction ^^^^. For details see this.

Yes, by different people; No, by one person. Only individuals who have made no purchases can use a referral code. Once you made a purchase, you cannot use a referral code.

My bad. I have a lifelong habit of being late to spot malevolent intent.

ahem . . . . just saying: its not a competition. Honestly, I don't understand why you are so adamant--so much so that you need to give a heads up that you will be back to tell everyone who participated in this thread, "I told you so." Again, JMO, people are entitled to their personal preferences for themselves. However, saying you will stop being an aggressive advocate on the Cakewalk Discussion Board for the time being, but you promise to be back to proclaim at a later date to say, "See??? I was right!!!!!!!" sounds like you will be anxiously awaiting that moment should it ever come. Hope you enjoyed reading the history. As you probably have heard, those who fail to learn from history are apt to repeat mistakes that others have made [paraphrased].

You jolted a memory!!! During the last century I also tried Corel's version of Linux and in fact still have "Using Word Perfect 8 for Linux." You might remember, at one point Word Perfect was the only serious competition for Microsoft Word. Corel invested a lot of energy trying to promote Linux. Microsoft even invested in Corel and some speculated MS had an interest in seeing if Linux would fly. For those who don't know, Corel was later bought out from being a publicly traded company. Shareholders who had the foresight to see it coming (and anyone who had insider information) could have sold their shares for more than the buyout gave them. PS: It looks like I still have some backup copies of corellinux-oc_1.2.iso. I might have earlier versions somewhere. Historical FYI links: Link to wikipedia blub on Corel Linux OS. Link to 2000 Forbes article.

I am not really a basher of Linux. I can't comment on when others last tried Linux, But I last tried several distros August 2008, including Ubuntu Studio and gNewSense and I have to agree that Linux has come a log way since 1995 (or actually 2000, when I previously gave Linux a serious look). Speaking just for myself, my choice not to use Linux is not based on it being either worse or even different (as in the sense of being unfamiliar and requiring time to learn). Moreover, it is based on my needs. And I do understand expressing personal preferences and even making polite requests. Peace.

No rush on my part to switch to Studio One. I can wait until Mike (or someone else) does a full comparison of the two with regard to workflow.

Taking the video as a whole, he focused of a number of things that were important to him and presumably to most (or maybe all) of his followers. However, he left out a number of things that might be more important to others. As a result people who have no experience with Studio One would have to try Studio one to make comparisons themselves. I agree that his intro (approximately 4 minutes long) and his conclusion provide a context for his opinions. However, the personal workflow efficiencies he highlighted might not be the same workflow efficiencies that save someone else considerable time. For example, I save considerable time with preferred common tasks by having well-tuned Workspaces that satisfy my efficiency needs. Regrettably, from his video I have no idea if Studio One has some kind of massive customizability function for workflows. It might or it might not. Based on what he chose to focus on and how he framed his Cakewalk v. Studio One comparison, he hasn't sold me on the benefits of Studio One. To clarify my comment, its not that I have no desire to learn a new DAW or new workflows; its more that given his personal efficiencies (as demonstrated in the comparison video), he did not convinced me that it is worth my while to spend the time to learn to use Studio One to find out if it would meet my needs. Sorry if this wasn't clear. This is not simply about inertia, maintaining the status quo, stick with a set of specific learned steps. If I need to create personal workflow efficiencies for certain sets of musical tasks I will be working on, (1) I know I can create targeted Workspaces in CbB, (2) I know how to create them, (3) I know that using them will repeatedly save me many steps (once I take some time to set a new Workspace up), and (4) switching between different custom Workspaces has become automatic. Based on the video, I would have to teach myself Studio One even before I knew whether or not there was a comparable feature that would give me the flexibility to create workflow templates, and if there were, I'd then have to teach myself how to use the flexibility tool to begin to see if it were better in Cakewalk. The video is called "Cakewalk VS Studio One WORKFLOW" and upon watching the video for a second time, I now see his failure to compare Cakewalk's workflow flexibility feature (Workspaces) with the counterpart in Studio One a serious omission. PS: Because I asked in a public thread, I already know that Workspaces will be carried over to Cakewalk Sonar.

I am mildly inclined to take the side favoring sub-forums for the different products. For example, I can think of reasons for isolating future CbB users from being excoriated for not immediately getting a paid product. Shaming CbB-only users might be fun, but perhaps some of them might need time to add the new costs into their budgets. Maybe some won't be able to use the new version for any of a number of reasons (such as personal workflow needs, vision needs, etc.) and/or won't be able to update to the newest version as soon as it comes out. Separate sub-forums for Cakewalk Sonar and Cakewalk Next sounds like a great idea in theory, but that is no guarantee that people will post in the right sub-form. Whatever happens, I will adapt. Peace!

Thanks for the link to USBDeview, Jim. It shows that my E-Mu 2x2 MIDI interface has a serial number, but my evolution MK-449C controller doesn't! It gives a lot of information and has quite a bit of functionality. Handy utility!!!!!!

Some Cakewalk users might be interested in this material on having unique serial numbers for USB devices. Why do I mention this? Well, because lots of Cakewalk users might be able to relate to this (and related) issues: So, maybe under MIDI 2.0 these kinds of issues will not happen.

My thoughts: (1) He is very clear in articulating the workflow differences he chose to cover and the reason for his preferences and his caveats. (2) At my age, I need to go with what is automatic for me because it takes too much out of me to learn new workflows. (3) I have learned to use CbB's Workspaces to facilitate my workflow preferences for different kinds of projects I work on and the different kinds of tasks I use. I don't have Studio One. It might be better for all the benefits Mike covered, but for a few years my brain has been shedding a lot of crap stored up there without making extra space for new stuff. Just a personal decision. Please don't tell me I am wrong. I am not trying to convince anyone else what works for me is better for them. I'm finally learning this. 😉 Thanks for asking.

My e-mail also arrived today. So I was going to post this to the MIDI 2.0 thread I posted a week or so ago. I will just post just posted a cross link to this thread, so people can discuss the new news-of-the-day here.

Does the trial subscription allow you to cancel anytime?

Also works in Home Studio 23.9.0 Build 32.

Thanks for the offer. Maybe another time.
