Thanks for your responses, guys.

My power settings are all optimized. Furthermore, I used Reaper for several hours with no problem at all and CbB disconnects my devices in basically every session, every hour or so.

Also, the audio drop error happens every time I switch sample rates.

Hi,

My Nektat Impact LX+ (or something) periodically disconnects and won’t send MIDI until I replug it or disable/enable it in the Preferences window.

Also I get an error 13 dropout each time I change the sample rate (I meant buffer size, sorry) on my Focusrite iTrack solo with the recently released deivers. I solve it by unplugging/replugging too.

 I’m on Windows 10 latest build, 3rd generation i7, 2.3 ghz, 8 GB RAM.

Cheers!

EDITED*

Yes please!

Yeah, Reaper and Samplitude do this and it’s a great feature.

This would be great and it could be optional for those who want to keep it like before.

I second this, it would make Cakewalk an even better program. I’m pretty sure they’re considering this already, based on the direction CbB seems to be heading, but it’s good that you brought it up.

I actually recreated the track template using the same fx chain and it works fine!  I’ll be creating several more track templates and I’ll let you know if I encounter any other issues. Thanks for all your hard work, I’m absolutely loving Cakewalk!

Hi Noel, thanks for responding.

I can't reproduce the crash because I can no longer access my "Effects" plugin layout from the Instruments tab in the browser. When I first created my Effects layout and before I created my Instruments layout, the Effects one appeared as an option in the Instruments drop down menu and the crash occurred when I selected it. I don't want to delete my layouts to try it out but I hope that helps. It's not an issue anymore anyways.

The FX chain I created only contains one plugin (the amp sim) and I can see the audio going into it but it doesn't come out. It works fine when I drag it into the FX bin or into the ProChannel. It only goes silent when I insert it as a track template, which is a bummer since I would like to save my amp sim along with some ProChannel modules with favorite settings to recall later.

I hope you have a nice weekend.

Tempo View

thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Yes, it includes the percussive algorithm (along with a couple of others). Make sure to install the VST3 format plug-in.

I tried this and it works fairly well but it's a bit imprecise. Is there a way to edit the individual tempo markers?

I also tried a function called "fit improvisation" which creates a tempo map from a MIDI performance. There's a video called "Sonar Tutorial - Fit Improvisation" that showcases the function but it seems to be completely broken.  The tempo map that is created is completely off and my MIDI is slowed down... Is this broken or am I missing something? What would be the best way to report this?

Instead of using AudioSnap try dragging the clip to the timeline.

 

I haven’t installed Melodyne yet. Will the Essentials version work for this? Thanks!

Hi,

I've recorded a percussion instrument playing quarter notes and I'm attempting to create a tempo map based on it so the metronome and the grid follow the performance.

AudioSnap recognizes the transients but when I click on 'Set project tempo from clip' I get some weird behaviors. If I set it to 'Beat' it creates a tempo map based on the average clip tempo, but if I set it to 'Measure' or 'Clip', the audio clip is moved forward a bit and the tempo map is all screwed up, not recognizing the transients as the new tempo.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

When I started organizing my plugins and creating layouts for them, I didn't realize that you had to create one layout for effects and one for instruments. I made one for effects and then I tried selecting it from the instrument tab of the browser which prompted a crash.

Another bug I found: I made an FX chain consisting of an amp sim plugin (Mercuriall SS-11x) and created a UI for it with knobs and buttons. I saved the FX chain and when I drag it from the browser into the ProChannel of an audio track, everything works as expected and I get an audio signal. But if I save the track with the FX chain in the ProChannel as a track template and then I insert the new track template there's no sound coming out of the amp sim. I can see the audio going into the plugin on the input monitoring meter on its graphic interface, but the output monitoring is not moving. If I bypass the FX chain module I can hear the guitar again.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Last update is great, btw. Thanks for the great efforts!

Thanks for all the comments!

Even if I don't think that these bugs have to do with the system itself (the 2nd bug certainly not!), here are the system specifications:

• i5-8600K (3.6GHz, 6 cores, Coffee Lake), MSI Z370-A Pro, 16 GB memory, 512 GB SSD
• Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen (I tried with the previous and very actual driver)

I didn't have the time yet, but I will try to find out if the Focusrite driver has something to do with it (unstoppable playing), i.e. I will test with my 2nd USB audio interface (Behringer UMC404HD). But even if the Focusrite driver is involved, CbB should have control over its audio thread, so that you can close it!

Also I have to mention that this happens even in very tiny projects, i.e. there is only one simple instrument track (AAS Strum GS-2) and a second audio track with some loop recorded takes (44.1kHz, 24-bit). I did not use any more plugins (Not that the ones jump in that always insist it maybe a plugin problem)! Most of the time the instrument track is muted, because I have soloed the track with the takes! And maybe 2 very important details:

• I had always enabled a small loop range but I stopped (tried to stop) the audio transport before repetition by hand (with the spacebar or the stop button).
• The metronome is always enabled (play)

In addition to the test with another audio interface I will also check if it makes a difference if I replace the instrument track by an audio track, as this would remove the only plugin used.

The second bug (clip start position) may also have a relation to loop recorded takes only. In any case I have had this problem always with such clips.

Maybe try the beta Focusrite driver at beta.focusrite.com

It would be so useful to have tap tempo function right there in the transport section and to be able to click and drag the tempo from there too. Please?

Yes, a bit of graphic coherence would be nice across the board. These are the small details that make the program seen "unfinished" and rushed. Hopefully details like this will be a priority at some point.

This one is extremely important for me too... Please!

Transport and other controls work fine with here with the same controller. Right-clicking vst knobs and clicking 'Learn MIDI' does nothing though, maybe I'm doing something wrong...

2.0.0 release candidate is now available. If no major bugs are reported, this will be promoted to an official 2.0.0 release.

Thank you, Michael!

Embertone Arcane (a free library) qualifies for the crossgrade. Just bought it yesterday for $125, great deal! There's lots of free libraries, take a look at the freebies section of Vstbuzz.com

Nevermind, managed to solve it by deleting the control surface entry of the keyboard and loading it again in the preferences.

Hi, I just installed the setup files to use the Impact LX25+ with Cakewalk and it doesn't work at all. Before installing the files it worked as a midi keyboard with no transport functions but now it's just nothing. I followed the Nektar instructions and checked inputs and outputs of track but don't know what else to do...

The included T-RackS is T-RackS 4.  They will also function with the T-RackS 5 GUI and engine if you install T-RackS 5 Custom Shop (you won't have resizing or full TR5 metering in that case)

Hi, just bough this. If I install the 5 CS, will the individual modules also have the new GUI?  Thanks.

I didn't know that you could open SF inside CW either! Will it work with SpectraLayers?
