I use it on both buses and channels. I use values that sound right. For me channel drives are typically between 1 and 2.

I think you are on the wrong forum. This forum is for Cakewalk by Bandlab, it's not for the Bandlab app.

From what I can see, the main drawback to Live is that it does not have a notation or staff view. 🤣

Considering it's called Live they don't have a way to specify that you want to record n number of bars of audio - you have to spend another $800 for push to do that. If you can live with one scene then you can use MSuperlooper. Zenbeats also doesn't support record n number of bars for audio. Both support it for MIDI.

I use the Sony MDR 7506s even though I don't like coiled cables 😉 For mixing, practicing, and recording I like a flat response although I usually don't mix with 'phones.

Zenology Pro is available with a lifetime license - it's $229. That doesn't seem too bad for what it is. The number of PCM tones available is really something. If you like the Roland sound there's a lot available. I've just started playing with it. The expansion models for it seem over priced - $149 each. SRX and ARIA stuff are available with lifetime licenses as well.

On a closer look I think Zenology Pro is over priced - it looks like it only has a single fx slot. Inside Zenbeats or MC-x0x there are fx slots outside of it so more fx can be applied. Zenbeats is sub only ...

Lifetime licences are available for the Legendary series synths.  If you only want one or two it would be cheaper than the sub eventually. IMHO both the top level sub and the lifetime licences are a bit overpriced. I think Zeanology is sub only.

Some Roland SW was transferred to the Roland Cloud Manager and consequently I have 90 days free access so I'm trying some of the instruments. It looks like most of the instruments are available for lifetime licensing as well.

I updated both my DAW and laptop to 2004 without problems. FWIW.

Do you turn off input echo when you play back? It's possible there is some bleed from the input that you don't hear.

It should automatically close Acid Pro 9 and install the new version.  If not, then once the Install 
Program has started running, manually close Acid Pro 9, and the installer should do the rest...

Thanks - it's not closing down the program ...

Edit: Now the program is shutting down, but nothing seems to happen. Oh well.

How do you update from 9.03? I select Update Now when ACID Pro starts and it downloads the installer, but when the installer runs it says it can't update while the program is running. ACID Pro won't close while the file is downloading. What am I missing?

Hmm, neither of the synths I'm using seem to support MIDI out (the box to enable it is greyed out).

I'm having trouble with following your instructions with a synth that has MIDI out. I enabled that, but can't get the rest of the routing right.

Add your first VSTi with MIDI out enabled and then add a second VSTi instrument and on the MIDI track that is part of the second VSTi set the MIDI Input to your first VSTi.

This is such a basic thing that I must have just missed it in the documentation. Playing multiple instruments from a single source is something MIDI has been able to do for 37 years, so there must be nothing to stacking 'em up inside Cakewalk.

To do that in HW it has to be supported in HW - that is you need a MIDI out or Thru. A similar thing applies. The VSTi must support MIDI Out. When you set up your first VSTi enable MIDI out. Create a second VSTi and set the input of the MIDI track to the first VSTi with the correct channel. Another thing is that the first VSTi will need to handle MIDI channel assignment (I think). Omnisphere does that, but I don't know how many do. 

Do you have echo enabled on the track? You don't need it enabled for loops, but you do for input.

I can't say specifically, but I have 9 Eventide plugins and they are all iLok/pace.

I like console emulation enabled and setup and an fx chain enabled so I use a track template as stated above.

That's what pitch shifters do. If your signal is monophonic there may be a free one. Maybe one in CbB? If it's polyphonic you'll need something like Zynaptiq's Pitchmap. I don't know if you can automate it.

You can specify the channel in the track inspector. Look above the fader.

Not that I'm aware of. There are some plugins that support that type of thing. Nomad Factory's MFX - Magma can load 3rd party vsts and has various routing capabilities including up to 4 parallel paths. Blue Cat Audio has Patchwork and there may be others.

It's hard to say without seeing what you have in the original. If you have more than one track another track could be enabled. If only one track you might have a send enabled.

You may want to play around with setting up CbB. If you use a template to start a new project you should have a number of busses already there - master, metronome, and preview.

If you're new to amp sims be aware that, for the most part, they behave like amps. Play around with the level going into the DAW. With AT4 if you go in at -6 dB you may need to turn down the input control in AT4. Adjusting the level going into an amp sim is like having a clean boost in front of the amp. Also check the master outs. A number of the presets in AT4 seem pretty hot to me. Also if you have other amp sims, each is different. You can have AT4 setup and replace it with S-Gear or Bias Amp and they behave differently. Have fun!

My interface does not have a direct monitor button but instead has a blend knob.Full left is only dry and full right is only amplitube. 

So far the only setting in cakewalk I see id the echo sound and I use that but still hear both siganls when I play. If I turn the echo off I only get dry signal.

So how can I only hear the amp sound while playing in cakewalk?

Make sure the mixer knob on the Audiobox is full right. Start with a new project and delete all tracks but the one AT4 is on. Have echo enabled. If that doesn't work you'll have to be specific about how the track is setup. Is AT4 in the track fx bin or PC fx and so on.

Are you monitoring your signal through your interface? Some audio I/Fs let you monitor the signal before it is sent to the computer. If you are monitoring through the DAW you should hear the guitar signal through any fx that are enabled. When you record the dry signal is recorded, but you hear the fx (amp sims and so forth) while you record and when it is played back.

Oh, i've also been thinking wrong about gain.

I get it now - it's only an audio fx in knob form. 🥱

Shouldn't it be with the other audio fx? Why has it got its own knob?

Think about how analog recording worked with tape. You recorded through a console to tape. After your material was recorded you mixed down through the console. If you look at the signal flow diagram that SCook provided it supports that method. The gain control functions after program material has been recorded - that is on clips. The Input signal path is used for recording and the Clip signal path is used for playback - mixing, overdubbing, and mastering. HTH.

I like Breverb 2 - the full version. I also like the PSP 2445 EMT.

 One thing that's nice about the EDP is that when you overdub it reduces the level of the looped audio - that's a nice feature, but doesn't seem available on MSuperLooper - it provides a limiter instead, unless I've over looked it.

I over looked it. Nice.
