Hi, I'd like to ask some help related to Sibelius First and CbB. I was trying to see how ReWire works and inserted SF in one track. I was tweaking a bit and on a moment I couldn't close CbB because of an error message related to the ReWire SF track. So I forced the shutdown and didn't try that again.

However when I open Sibelius First there's an error message related to audio device but I couldn't fix it. Also when I try to playback a project it won't play anymore.

Does someone has seen this before?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the 2020.07 EA! The Staff View fixes are great, it's nice to see it working!

I still didn't try the Arranger as I've been using CbB for simpler tasks, but it seems to be great!

By the way, @Noel Borthwick I'd like to say files info on bottom of Media Browser are visible again! I don't know what happened [on previous version] but thanks God it's working!

@jsg thanks for the reply, but Note draw duration buttons is a new feature from CbB.

Note draw duration buttons were added to Cakewalk by BandLab 2018.06

CbB is a significant free upgrade to SONAR Artist.

Here is the updated link from scook's post :

Hi, I'd like to comment about another issue on Staff View. It happens that Note draw duration buttons won't change if one clicks on a note on the Staff Pane with last touched note enabled.

The expected result would be like in Piano Roll View, where note draw duration buttons will change if one clicks notes on Notes Pane, with last touched note enabled.

Best regards,

Hi, I'd like to comment Ctrl + Right Click will also copy and paste notes if one tries to move them, but Shift + Right click will do the trick (just move).

Also there is one issue about exporting sheet music to XML, that is Musescore won't read tied notes correctly. But there's a workaround that one could import XML file on Finale NotePad and export to XML again (but also FNP won't read tempo value when importing it).
But maybe this issue could be a bug from these softwares!

Best regards,

Hi @Noel Borthwick ! I'd like to update my post related to audio info missing on the bottom of Media Browser, as I finally rolled back to 2020.04 update. On this previous version audio info appears normally on Media Browser, but when I update to 2020.05 it disappears!

Also I tried to find out what app could be using audio files, as you suggested, but on Windows 10 Task Manager I couldn't find any process related (basic level user here!).
However one day before I noticed this issue I did some VHS digitalization with simple video capture interface and Honestech software, I don't know if it could be related. 

Thanks for your attention!

Best regards 

@Noel Borthwick Thanks! I'll do some tests!

 At the moment I saw Sonar Home Studio 2017  is working fine, but CbB still doesn't show description on Media browser.

Best regards

@Noel Borthwick wow, at least it's not a bug! 

Here it happens on a few types, like MP3, Wave, also files from Audio folder on Cakewalk projects. Only MIDI files show description.

In time, other features work fine, like audio preview.

Thanks for the reply!

Hi, it seems media description is missing on Media Browser. With exception of MIDI files other media types won't show descriptions like file lenght, bit rate, sample rate, etc., at bottom of browser window.

Best regards

Hi, I'd like to say I've had a similar problem to OP! It happens when I record midi notes with midi controller or Virtual Controller, then snap won't work on PRV.
If i want to work with regular notes I'll have to quantize midi content. 

I thought this was a known issue but after reading this thread it seems it could be a bug!

Best regards, 
 

EDIT: It seems the issue only occurs on some projects for me either!

I think I've narrowed it to just this one project acting goofy as the new project I made worked properly w/o changing any settings.

Hi, chuckebaby! Yes, I also do this procedure of creating a meter/key change to return to previous meter/key. Thanks for the feedback!

In relation to OP, by coincidence, I was using different time signatures on the same tune while transposing amateur songs to music staff, but my boss said some clients didn't like that, so I'm trying to make simpler scores!

Best regards
 

Hi, Noel! Yes, now I can use Cakewalk  and other apps with no audio problems!

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the feedback, but I guess the issue was related to an automatic Windows Update on this week!
While doing some tests I noticed Windows Defender was damaged, so I did another Windows Update and both WD and media sites issues are resolved!
@Noel Borthwick Sorry for the confusion!

@Noel Borthwick I did the roll back to 2020.01 update but the issue was still there! Sorry I didn't noticed that before!

In relation to the driver mode I'm using ASIO.

Also I'd like to add that I tweaked some options on Windows Sound Control Panel and that reduced the streaming sites issue, so the bug only occurs when CbB is open (if I shut it down streaming sites will work fine).

Best regards

Hi, scook! Yes, both are at the same sample rate. I had the impression this started with the new Early Acces update and I'll try to roll back to see if it works.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks to the Bakers to 2020.04 Early Access update! It looks awesome!

I also would like to comment EA is avoiding me to watch streaming media on sites like Youtube and Soundcloud, where playback doesn't occur. To stop this issue I'll have to logout Windows (and login it again).
By the way I had a similar issue with Sony Vegas Studio, but I found out that changing Windows audio settings to 48 KHz before using it and going back to 44 KHz after that would do the trick. But I guess that was another scenario!

Best regards
 

Hi, chuckebaby! Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!

The only thing is I don't want to change melody, for example, but only key/meter settings. I wonder how is that possible, as I belive Ripple editing will do the trick by moving clips. Actually I only do basic operations with RE, but I'm going to read user's guide a bit more!

Best regards

Hi, I'd like to update this thread by adding some information related to Copy and Paste Special on Meter and Key Signatures.

It happens that on some intricate tunes Paste Special will delete the next meter/key change. This happens with apparently no logic as some paste special will work fine, but most part will delete the next meter/key change.

Example:

Measure 2 - Ab - 2/4 <--
Measure 3 - Ab - 3/4
Measure 5 - Ab - 2/4

Expected result

Measure 2  - Ab  - 4/4  
Measure 3 - Ab - 3/4
Measure 5 - Ab - 2/4

Actual result

Measure 2 - Ab - 4/4  
Measure 5 - Ab - 2/4

Maybe this is a known issue or maybe I'm missing something?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Best regards

Hi, I don't know if an update on MusicXML export would help, but if I need to finish sheet music on Musescore it won't reproduce correctly tied notes, so I'll have to import file on Finale NotePad first, export to MusicXML and open it on Musescore.
It's not a big thing but if that could be fixed it would be great! :  )

Best regards

Hi Mario Branchi! Some forum users found out a workaround to this issue, holding Shift key while right clicking on Staff View!

Hi, Alan Bachman

I read on CbB online help that value=1 gives good performance for dual core processors, and value=2 is better for quadcore ones, when the Use Multiprocessing Engine option is enabled. But I can't say if there's downside as my system is entry level (*)!

Edit: (*) also I've been using CbB more for simple tasks like score editing. By coincidence I was trying to program midi with recorded guitar and noticed this new scheduling model issue!

Hi, I'd like to report I had midi latency when using ThreadSchedulingModel=3. When playing with midi keyboard and Virtual Controller the latency reaches more than 1 second after 3 or 4 minutes. So I changed it back to value=1, and all is good!

Best regards,

Hi, msmcleod! Thanks for the tip!
I'll give this a try!

But it happens that meter and key signatures are part of the same change point, and there are tunes (from amateur singers specially) with many meter changes, but on the same key signature (if it was possible to only paste special key signatures it would be cool!)

But I guess this tip will help on the job!
Thanks! 

Hi, I don't know if this have been discussed already but I'd like to ask for an update on Settings of Meter and Key Signatures, specially for changing multiple key signatures at one time!
I've been transcribing music to score and the first thing I do is set tempo and meter, so melody will match audio music. But if I've forgotten to set the key signature I'll have to do it one by one in some cases! 

At least an alternative to toggle from one Meter/Key change to another without closing the dialog box that would be great! 

Best regards

Hi, thanks to the Bakers for this release! Awesome update!
