    I liked them all!!

    Always wondered... How do they get the tracks isolated? Is there a program that helps with this? Or is it just old fashioned hard *****ed work eq'ing the songs to isolate the desired trk?

    Great question. This enquiring mind would also like to know.

    I once asked Rick Beato how he got the isolated tracks when he analysed a song.  

    He never replied.

  2. Weird one here :

    * open a drum midi track in the PRV

    * change the names of the piano keyboard to drum names

    *the small dialogue window pops up for kit selection.  Select any one from the list

    * the piano notes change to drum names, as expected.

    *  click on a drum note to edit it and ......... poof ....... the drum note names change back to the piano roll keyboard.

    Happens to any selected kit.

    I've just updated to 2022.02 Build 037 via the toast that popped up when opening CbB. This did not happen in previous versions. before.

    Cheers,

    PS : I tried to upload a gif video but the website reported "upload failed".

  3. Agreed, large projects are not an issue with Cakewalk. If we record a live set (1 hour +) we use a Soundcraft MTK 22 with full USB capability into an i5 laptop running a 16 track CbB template. Bees knees !

    FWIW, Cubase, Samplitude, Magix audio products, Fruity Loops et al install their own version of our favourite wrapper. In most cases you’re given a choice during initial software installation if you want it or not. Just do the registry “hack” if it it slips through onto your system.

  4. The way to get rid of the Realtek driver coming back is to turn off the on-board audio device in the Bios, or, if you’re not comfortable delving under the bonnet, disable it in Windows device manager. You can then safely delete the dreaded Asio4All. There will be a registry key to delete too.

    You can then use your off-board audio device for both Windows and DAW work. You have not yet said if you have one and what it is.

    I have done this on my desktop and audio + W11 works just fine (Focusrite 18i20). Same goes for the laptop on W10.

  5. I have a Project that contains muted tracks - mostly audio, some midi/audio, but  each one is a riff or musical idea.  

    Every now and again i solo each track, one bt one, incase i’ve thought of an extension to a particular track.

    i go to this project if i’m feeling a little « dry ».

    My parent's would watch him often.  I loved how he goes through all the pomp and circumstance to play before performing chopsticks then stopping and turning the sheet music 90 degrees! 😆

    One of his best sketches.

    another is when he plays fast downward arpeggios,’ turns the music sheet round and its then plays the William Tell overture. 

    A truely great  performer

  7. @John Vere  : the Soundcraft drivers, for me have always been rock solid. (Better, dare i say, than Focusrite 😜fyi i have a 18i20 in my studio, the MTK is for live and sometimes studio work).

    They were written at the beginning of W10 period and survived seamlessly the various feature upgrades to that OS.

    I will post a screenshot tomorrow am (its 11.30pm here in France) as to how they should look in Cakewalk.

    For me, the op is not in Asio mode.

    Hi @Noel Borthwick I just wanted to let you know that I will be testing CbB in Windows 11 on my son's new laptop.

    I bought him an HP pavilion AMD Ryzen 7, 16gb system with W11. We've installed Cakewalk plus additional connect, Kontakt,  some libraries. So far everything is running smooth as silk. I'm tempted to get one myself.

    My son is 13 years old and enrolled in the local conservatorio of music here in Italy where he plays piano. He's already light years ahead of me in terms of piano playing and theory, but I want him to get a headstart on music production so that he can have fun making music whilst learning some hard skills in the art of digital music production. His conservatory is old fashioned and doesn't really teach anything about music production/recording.

    If we come across any glitches while using CbB, I'll let you know here.

    On a side note: kontakt installed seamlessly on this setup. That's a first!

    I don’t think you’ll find many issues, been working perfectly here since my upgrade.

    If you are on the latest build, and are an admin, you can pause updates until Feb 23(I just tested). I put it off as long as possible, and I would make a backup before updating.

    Or you could simply disable the Wupdates service……….

    Personally in my set up it downloads automatically, but i choose when (or not) to install. Where’s  the hassle ?

    I have a 7th gen CPU Dell gaming laptop.   I only use it for mobile recording but would probably work good for general recording DAW,    It works fine for what I use it for but not officially Windows 11 compatible due to 7th gen CPU.   Win 10 is fine for CbB so no need to replace it.

    I selected the gaming laptop as it has more cooling.  Most "general" laptops have poor cooling and that can be an issue for a DAW machine that is on for long periods.

    Drawback to your price range, gaming models are pricey, but like most items you get what you pay for.

    Agreed concerning gaming laptops fot audio work.

    unfortunately mine is not W11 compatible (bloody cpu !)

  11. 4 years ago I purchased an i5 Asus ROG gaming laptop for 1100€ with  8Gb of ram (which i upped to 32Gb), a 1Tb HDD with USB3 ports and a sole USB2 port.

    For live work its the bees knees. With CbB it can handle recording 16 audio tracks via full USB from a Soundcraft MTK22 during a 1hr set. Solid as a rock. But then Soundcraft drivers are well built.

    Dear CraigB

    I think you'll find that when referring to 'hanging' (as in the method of capital punishment) in the past tense, it is customary to use the form "hanged".

    For example: Having been found guilty of the capital crime of murder, he was hanged at dawn.

    In reference to my humorous post, you should have correctly quipped, " I don't see any problem with being well-hanged. 😁"

    Unless of course you were being unnecessarily crude?

    Love from your friendly neighbourhood grammar police.

    Not hung at dawn  rather ?

    Tried the stuff , didn't helped , usb way will not keep my program , so i will perfomr a clean install this summer , i don't have time to go on a week long install ....

    USB upgrade way will keep your programmes’ it certainly did when i upgraded.

    You can also create a folder on your C drive and copy the USB contents into it. I upgraded via this method, albeit a long time ago.
