    I used to do it years ago but now that melodyne is destructive regional effects it makes it a lot harder. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Thank you.

    No, its not. Its only destructive when you bounce the Melodyne region, for example, to clip. Here’s what i do.

    Using the Split tool i select the region i want Melodyne to open, open it up and correct/modify it. If all is ok, Press D to go back to track view and bounce to clip - that is the destructive part.

    if i am not happy with what i’ve done i simply press D to go to track view then use Cakewalk’s Undo function to back out of making the region - that is the non-destructive bit.

    However, it is good practice to duplicate the track just in case before using Melodyne and also, once you’re satisfied with the results, bounce the region to a clip.

    An upgrade for me from MPS 3.1 to MPS 5.2 seemed to be $199. However, when going to checkout (I had no intention to buy, I was only curious) I noticed that iZotope, despite being a US company, now have started to add local VAT for foreign customers. In my case that adds a hefty $50. Yes, VAT is often quite substantial on this side of the pond.

    Most European developers actually include VAT in the sales price on direct sales, at least within Europe. That way it’s easier to accept that the price in EUR and USD often nominally is the same despite the difference in currency rate. But obviously not so when buying directly from iZotope. Oh, well. They can keep it.

    I wanted to get Ozone 10 Advanced from my loyalty offers. 99 USD fine, but when translated to Euros 148. Something Euros.

    forget it, plus i also will have to pay 20% vat on top.

    i have a ticket open asking them to justify the difference in prices uds vs €.

  3. The Oxygen keyboard(s) are class compliant, they don’t need specific drivers, which maybe why this issue is around.

    i’ve had this happen,  and still have it every now and again.

    The only thing i’ve found to do is to un-tick the device in Preferences, close Cakewalk, then start the app without turning on the keyboard. Close Cakewalk again then turn on the Oxygen and then fire up Cakewalk, re-tick in Prefs if necessary.

    Long winded i know,  but it works, if anyone has a different solution i’m all ears.

  4. I upgraded many moons ago, never looked back.

    you.ll find some threads on the Computers part of this website about the same subject.

    One thing i do however is to automatically re-install the audio drivers (Focusrite and Soundcraft) just in case,

    The update from 10 to 11 is free anyway, if your PC can pass the MS mini specs. They have a tool that can help you check this. If you’re offered the update via Windows Update, then you’re good to go.

  5. I have Kontakt 6, latest version and I purchased/upgraded to v7 on a special offer from NI. This did NOT unistall v6 in fact it installed v7 as a separate vsti. Now I have the 2 in my vst directory and they both also show up in Native Access.

    Any project with v6 in it still opens fine, and loads v6.

    Maybe I'm not understanding what you did, but if you did not un-install the v6, then its still there. Installing v7 does not un-install v6.

    Good luck,

    I've had a few iPhones and iPads for many years but have tried to avoid them the last several years.  I still have a generation 1 iPad that up until recently has worked great even though I can't update the OS any longer for some newer apps.  I also have a newer one I purchased last year for a Square POS system.  I decided just to downsize and only use the newer one.  However, it's been months since I've used it and could not come up with the PIN I set up (I'm old!!).  The blood began to boil because I knew it was going to be an ordeal dealing with the mother of the universe.

    I was encouraged when I was able to get to a recovery process I thought wouldn't be too difficult but soon became irritated when I was told I would receive an email "this time tomorrow" (24hrs) with recovery instructions.  Okay, just breathe and wait it out.

    So, I got the email this morning - one minute short of the 24 hour period.  What does it say???  December 16th?!?!?!?!  I can't think of ONE non profane word at the moment.

    "An account recovery request was made for your Apple ID.

    Dear Wren,

    An account recovery request for your Apple ID (xxxxxxxx) was made from an iPad near xxxxxxxx,xx on December 2, 2022 at 7:51:44 AM CST. The contact phone number provided was +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx.

    You will receive a text or a phone call at this number when your account is ready to recover on December 16, 2022 at 7:51:44 AM CST. For updated status information or to provide additional information to help recover your account, visit https://iforgot.apple.com."

     

    EDIT: well, I finally came up with my 6 digit pin (I was one number off).  But, my rant still stands.  After verifying by texting security codes to my phone AND email, why would Apple or any company go to these lengths other than an obsession to control?  I've not experienced anything like it even with companies that manage my passwords (ironic, I know), websites, and finances.

    I always write my codes down on an Excel sheet.

    That way if i forget them, (I’m also old) i just look them up.
