CbB reports 867, I feel like a light weight. 

I just upgraded to Win 11 from Win 10 on a laptop I got 6 months ago or so (not my DAW). I checked the usual optimizations, but everything carried over from what I had set on win 10. I don't know of anything specific for Win 11. Enjoy the new machine.

The Overloud TH3 amp sim that comes with Cakewalk has a built-in looper. Never tried it, not sure what features it has, but it's guaranteed to work with Cakewalk.

The TH3 looper is very basic compared to mobius. Mobius is feature rich, based on the EDP. I use melda productions msuperlooper.

Above the Time knob set it to ms.

I don't have any Spectrasonics plug-ins so cannot test.

I have Omnisphere, but it doesn't output midi. Seems to be the similar to Trillian.

Oh, yeah that's not enabled in mine ...

Yes, it works for me.

Do you have scaler 2 synced to CbB? If not right click on the button you press in scaler 2 to play.

Ran across this video today. Pros say: THIS is the best DAW for music production 2022. Cakewalk places #5.

The guy asked 2246 music producers ...

Thanks. Am a little confused as to why i shouldnt be sending them - is there another function of the 'send' facility? And which sends do i delete? Thanks

No need to send to what a track outputs to, the signal is already going to that bus. In the example you have if you wanted reverb on the vocals and drums you could set up a bus and have reverb on it and you would then send to that bus from the vocals and drums.

Not that I'm aware of.

never mind, suggested previously ...

Omnisphere has been a little funky for me the last couple years. When I open it and an update is available it will indicate it's up to date, but the next time I open it, it indicates that updates are available. Same thing just now. Now I have to remember to keep flow enabled ...

Nice.

If I understand your question correctly, the step sequencer is a midi sequencer. It doesn't hold samples, it holds midi notes. A HW sequencer drives either a synth or sampler and in a similar fashion the step sequencer drives a SW synth or sampler. You need to setup a SW sampler and then put a step sequencer in the midi track or something similar.

Not room correction but room treatment.

Room correction software is really best for a room that is already treated but doesn't have the benefit of $$$$$ of acoustic design.

I treated my room to some extent, but it's just a home studio - I didn't hire an expert to do it. Using room correction SW made a big difference.

I waited way too long to try room correction SW. I wish I had got it sooner.

I have a Samson Servo 120a.

It's $199 for me to go from Komplete STD 13 to 14. I'll have to see if Kontakt 7 is worth it.

Do you have one of the midi devices enabled in edit -> preferences -> midi -> devices? Do you have a vst instrument set up? Is the input set to one of your devices? Is input echo enabled?

There's a lot you can do. If you have HW synths/samplers you can use CbB to drive them, if not you'll probably want to go with SW instruments (vst). If you use SW, as bdickens says you'll probably want to mix everything down. If you're using CbB live then you also have an option of processing your guitar and vocals. At a minimum you'll need a laptop/computer, audio I/F, mixer, PA, and MIDI controller to control CbB. The requirements for the audio I/F will depend on what you want to do with CbB.

As others have said, it doesn't work that way. There are a couple things you can do. You can try a pitch shifter. Shift down an octave and apply a LP filter and that might get you close. Others have proposed melodyne and another option is guitar to MIDI. There are HW units that do gtr 2 MIDI as well as software. I haven't tried it, but people write about Jam Origin SW.

Another option is a guitar synthesizer like the boss sy-1000

Weird! Are you using any Windows scaling with your monitor? The AD2 GUI is now scalable from within the AD2 plugin settings, 50%-200%.

AD2 is displaying just fine here, either VST2 or VST3. I'm using the OpenGL acceleration option in AD2, with the latest Nvidia drivers and a 24" display at 1920 x 1024 HD native.

I do have scaling enabled. That maybe it. Omnisphere is messed up as well. I'll try again in a few years. 

Electric bass is not an organ. A picked note on a bass may not sustain for long. Try using the virtual keyboard and holding the note down, how long does it sustain?

I'll have to check I may have scaling. I played with it a bit. The VST 2 has a problem, the VST 3 is bad when it is installed and opens, but if I close it and reopen it it's fine, so I have a workaround.
