The usual reason is mismatching sample rates between Cakewalk's setting and the audio interface.

I thought it was usually Cakewalk and Windows ?

J

I have this but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. After all, what i want hear is the highlighted region, why go further ?

Its good practice anyway that once you have corrected your track you bounce it to clip. Then in your project the cursor will move,

YMMV

I stopped my  subscription shortly after they stopped (or Craig A stopped) Cakewalk tech hints/workshops.

Go into Device Manager and disable any audio device  that are not your  Focusrite, such as HDMI or those from nVidia.

Then make sure in Power Options that your USB devices do NOT sleep after a certain time.

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,

J

Agreed, and this is what its based on :

To the OP. You should do some homework on their website :

never believe all you read ! FWIW i have the Oxygen 61 v4 which is class compliant (no drivers) and which works perfectly with CbB

J

For my part, me i’ve never had an issue with it.

There are certain things like chop your vocals/bass/etc into small clips before using it, but no, its been easy for me to use.

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.

Yes, but its the Edit version of Vegas and the Audio version of Sound Forge.

still, not bad for the price.

J

I’ve always found the Focusrite pre-amps to be more than just ok. Cut out the pre-amp and see if that gets you back to normal levels.

J

I am currently using  a Soundcraft MTK 22, which has its own Asio drivers.

i have several DAWs that have tried to install their super duper low latency drivers. (cubase, Fruity Loops, Samplitude etc.)

After each app’s update/upgrade I automatically delete all their drivers from the registry just leaving those from Soundcraft. If you have a good audio device with decent drivers,  you do not need the crap installed by the above apps, nor the dreaded Asio4all………

YMMV,

J

My current go to : Bugera v55 Infinium (love that valve sound), Fender HH Strat and a Boss Gt-100.

for certain songs i substitute a Fender Mim Tele HH.

J

I also use AOEMI Backupper, but all my HDD’s are cloned at least once a month. For a 4Tb drive it takes about 5 hours, overnight.

In the long run, it may be easier to just get a multi-track USB mixer - I've heard good things about the Soundcraft Signature 22 MTK, Tascam Model 12/16/24, and I think Zoom & Korg also do one.

+1 for the MTK 22 - I use it for both live recordings and more currently I’m using it in the studio, both with CbB. Great pre-amps.

Rock solid drivers that withstood the W11 upgrade, as against Focurite (18i20) which didn’t.

I agree, except it does take a lot more time. And everything takes forever for me as I am a bit of a novice. But to be fair a couple of tracks is all it takes to beef things up.

Cut your main track into into reasonable sized clips for Melodyne to handle them efficiently.

Melodyne each clip.

Once done, bounce them all to a single clip.

Duplicate the resulting track as you see fit.

A decent Izotope Music Suite 5 loyalty upgrade price for once.

299$ forget it.

J

Its very misleading.

However, when you get as far as payment, it does confirm that you have to already have Ozone 10 Advanced to get this deal.

I backed out straight away as I don’t have O10.

My loyalty offer is, as for others here, 249$

Shame,

Hello,

Does anyone know if the iteration of Z3ta bundled with Sonar X1 Producer will work in CbB ?

I've done a personalised install of Sonar 1 and can see it in the VST Manager of CbB,  and its enabled.

Was it ever available in stand alone mode ?

Cheers,

J

Edit : installed 64bit version from my X2 Prod discs, all is well. The X1 installation for whatever reason installed the 32bit version. All’s good now with the 64bit X2.

VST3? Bingo.

Funny, that version works as it should for me.

J

Perhaps if you activate Windows that might help ?

Plus you're loading audio regions - have you used Melodyne or a different software that creates audio regions ? If so bounce each region to a clip.

You could also try launching CbB in safe mode, and disable all plugins  then load them one by one until you find one that is wonky, especially if its 32bits......

There is a bug in the Toontrack software (I'm on v 1.1.5) which will cause Cakewalk (and any other DAW it seems) to crash and create numerous EZ Bass dump files.

Its to do with how it handles VS + +

The work around (whilst waiting for an update ) as posted on the Toontrack forum is to go into EZ Bass and un-check  :

Settings > General > Show Played Note Information

This has worked for me.

J

Its really simple. Just keep chasing the elusive « tomorrow »
