  1. I've found MY mistake: I forgot to change the articulation back to the starting point after recording. Going back to my project I realized it. Now it works perfectly. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, much appreciated Silly mistake!!!😊
  2. The problem I'm having is this: If I play these articulations on my keyboard I can change it mid song to the next articulation without a problem. But as soon as I want to record it only records the last articulation played. So, if I want to make a song with say 8 articulations, I have to open 8 midi channels and record each one separately? What happens then to fluency of the song? Plus, it takes up a lot of real estate on my laptop (Not ideal, but it's what I have) and places a big burden on my RAM & CPU. If you can change the tempo midway through a song with bandlab why can it not be done with libraries/ articulations? I mean, most of the vsts and libraries available today have multi switching and articulations and does everyone using it create separate tracks for each articulation?
  3. Thanks for the reply. They do use keyswitches but even then in Cakewalk it only plays the last phrase used. And I've looked through the documentation of CbB but don't find an answer there. Hence my query on this forum, maybe someone used another Kontakt library that had the same problem?
  4. Good day, I hope someone can help; I'm using Silka choir in my project. Problem is I don't know how to record 2 phrases ( eg. aa and oh) on one track. When play it back it only plays one phrase. Is there a way to record multi phrases on one track instead of multi tracks with one phrase on each? Please help. Kind regards. Bertus.
  5. Can someone please help? I want to open two libraries side by side in Cakewalk but have no idea how. I'm working on two monitors, with the main interface on one and my libraries on the other. But I can only open one instance at a time, as it's replaced by the other as soon as I open the new one. What I'm trying to do is to open, for instance, one Kontakt file as well as Ujam, side by side, on one monitor, with the CbB interface on the other. Any advice please? Kind regards.
  6. Good day all, I need some advice. For the last few months I've been having problems with CbB and I have no idea how to resolve. As soon as I open a library or vst in cakewalk it crashes. I have even gone so far as to move all my libraries and vst's to an external hdd (to clear up space) but the same problem persists. I must also mention that it's not only a CbB problem, but also with Reaper and FL studio. I had some issues in the past with the latter 2 but now it's the same with CbB. I have re-installed it a few times but problem still persists. I have a very old laptop/processor that dates back to 2016 but I never had a problem like this. (Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3050 @ 1.60GHz 1.60 GHz, 8GB Ram) Maybe there are some settings I should check/ change? Unfortunately I cannot change the processor as it's integrated. Any advice will be much appreciated.
  7. Hi all, I Hope someone can advise: I have been using CbB for a while now but this is the first time I've had this issue. When playing keyboard using the plugins (Kontakt, BBCSO, etc) all works well and then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, everything falls out and I have to restart all the plugins. No matter if it's only two or maybe 10 plugins, it happens in all scenarios. Sometimes it's for a few hours that I can play with no hassles, then, once this "fallout" starts, the longest I can play is 7 minutes. Then it stops again and I have to start all over again!!. In the past I have never had this issue with CbB, but this has been happening since November last year. Even when I record the same thing happens. During the recording session the following happens; If I record a session and, before playback, reinstall and restart all the plugins, all goes well UNTIL I pause/ stop it. Then there's no sound. Restarting is the only choice which I'm sure you will agree is not ideal!! Can someone please advise me what to do? I have tried everything I know but cannot fix it. Regards.
  8. I think my time at Cakewalk has come to an end!!!! Refer to my previous posts re: Kernelbase, Kontakt, etc issues. Now coming back to Kontakt again when I opened it in CbB (WHEN IT DECIDES TO OPEN I MUST ADD!!) it opens as Kontakt player instead of full version 6.5.3 which is the installed one. The problem isn't with Native Instruments, it lies with Cakewalk!!!. NI works fine in other Daw's, no issues whatsoever. ie Reaper, FL Studio, Ableton. Now a new problem in CbB: Rewire device not working. It worked fine until the last update (as it was with Kontakt) but now it's worse than before. I sent this complaint to Cakewalk but still no answer. Wish I could go back to previous version of Cakewalk, where things worked most of the time. Now it's unusable!! VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTING!!
  9. Hi Noel, Just an update: I downloaded the CbB update this morning and it worked fine for a while, then crashed again. The previous fix I mentioned only lasted for a while as well, then it crashed again and wouldn't work after that. This morningCbB/Kontakt worked without an issue until I wanted to replace one of the libraries in my project with Kontakt. First time it worked, but when I wanted to do it again later it crashed and wouldn't reset on it own, even after restarting. This time it created a dmp file #122540. I have sent this to CbB complaints but I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait for a reply. This is extremely frustrating and, after working with cakewalk for about 3 years I',m thinking of changing to another DAW which I don't really want to do. I do hope that between CbB and NI they can sort this out. Regards Bertus.
  10. Hi Noel, Found the problem. Got info from this site. Took some time (about an hour) but now it's fixed. Seems like the kernel.dll thread was broken/ damaged and had to repair. I didn't report this to either CbB or NI but will keep it in mind next time I have problems. Regards.
  11. I have the same problem with CbB/ Kontakt. I don't know where the problem is exactly, I have tried basically everything to fix it but no joy. The strange thing is that this problem with the Kernel. dll crash is that it's only in CbB, it works fine in FL Studio and Reaper. The only solution I could find was to use Reaper as a rewire device but this shouldn't be. Kontakt have been working fine in CbB up to about a month ago, then started crashing at random. Now it won't open at all. I tried reinstalling both CbB and Kontakt but still not working. Just wish there was a simple solution!!
  12. Good day all, I have a small problem with Scaler 2 that I need advice. I've used the apreggiator to record a song in CbB. Sound beautiful, just what I wanted.. Problem is, Scaler won't stop recording! Every instrument I try to use for the rest of the song is also recorded automatically even though Scaler is not activated. I've tried changing the in and output channel s to 1 for the recording and the other instruments to either omni or ch 2, still doesn't work. Any suggestions please? Regards
  13. Have downloaded Access and problem solved. Thanks! One of the libraries I got with this will not install fully. Is there another instance of Kontakt I must also install for this to work (like Komplete)? or is it the library itself (Realivox blue). Thanks & regards
  14. Hi all, I have a small problem with Kontakt 6.3.1. I recently got this version from a friend who doesn't use it any more. Problem is when I use it in Cakewalk. ( As standalone no problem whatsoever.) When I use it in cakewalk it works fine first time, but after saving it it gives me an error every time, logs out and next time I try to use it I cannot recall the file. I have tried every configuration I can think of but nothing works. Had the Player version for a while without any problems. Is there something I'm missing? Is there another NI app I must have for it to work? Please help! Regards Bertus.

  16. You are a lifesaver, thank you so much. So easy and painless!! Regards.
  17. Good day all, Some advice please. I'm trying to use these drum presets in a project but have difficulty in adjusting the timing after recording. Tried to open it in piano roll but doesn't work. Some help will be much appreciated. Regards,
  18. Good day all, I recently got hold of this (Free) version from Spitfire and I must say it's worth it in every sense of the word. It sounds amazing, so much so that I deleted most of the other "free" VST's that I was using. The only problem I've encountered so far is that it's not easy to adjust the attack and release time. I asked their helpdesk for advice and this is the answer I received from them: 'On the interface is a control called Dynamics. This is mapped to modulation automation in your DAW, or your controller mod wheel. Fade this up and down to gain further realism. At the start of the notes, push this up, and at the end fade it down. Further, different velocities on legatos create different transitions. If you play a note above Velocity 19, you will trigger a more aggressive change. Further over lapping the notes will provide a portamento transition at low velocities. Combing these will give you greater realism than an adsr. ' The problem is my controller doesn't have a mod wheel (old model Casio). But then also, why adjust the dynamics manually, while it's much easier done with ADSR? There the settings are done once, no need to redo after every chord or note. I have tried using the Sonitus delay in Cakewalk to achieve this which works in a sense, The problem is that there is an 'echo' at the end of the chord that I don't know how to rectify. This may work for other music genres but not for me. Any advice on what to do? Thanks.
  19. Thanks for the list, just what I need. Still going through it and already know a lot more than last week! Have you covered arps in your videos? I know that there are some inbuilt arps in Cakewalk but not really what I am looking for. What I need to know is how to create arps (ala Zimmer) that can play in any key once stored. Any advice? Regards.
  20. Thanks for the advice. I de-selected the "USB Selective Suspend" and it seems to be working fine now.
  21. Good day all, I need some advice please. I've been having this problem with Cakewalk for a while now and don't know how to fix it. The problem is that my Midi keyboard keeps on shutting down while playing. Once I've selected the instruments and start playing it works fine for a few minutes. Then it goes silent and after a while gives me a message that the keyboard has been disconnected. Then I have to log out and start from scratch again. Any advice please, this is very frustrating. Thanks.
