  1. Right-click the power button on the amp itself in the TH3 GUI. That can be assigned/learned. You can't manipulate the FX rack in a track, only the effects IN the rack.
  2. Have a look at this about installing VSTs. Here is a list of beginner tutorials. Play around with Cakewalk's built in instruments (SI drums, piano, strings, bass) to get an idea before you look for VSTs to download and install. That being said, this is a list of free effects and this is a list of free instruments. Good luck.
  3. It is designed to do the speaker layout for 5.1 systems. Maybe do two mixes, 5.1 and stereo. Have a look at this.
  4. Have a look at this to make sure you are not doing something wrong. Nobody else seems to have the problem.
  5. You must select the scale, and then Snap Settings, before you enable Snap to Scale, otherwise it doesn't work.
  6. If you open the midi file by double-clicking in File Explorer, then Cakewalk will create a track per midi channel, add a TTS-1 and do all the midi channel routing and patch changes for you. If you want to use other VSTs instead of TTS-1 you must load them into the synth rack. Select the correct midi track for that instrument and open the Inspector view. You will see this: Right at the bottom, just above 2, and MIDI, click on Output and select the instrument you have just added.
  7. It uses the key of the piece as a reference, so make sure you set that before running the CAL script.
  8. Have you had a look in Utilities -> Plugin Manager? That way you see all. Or maybe they are excluded?
  9. If you are using WASAPI Exclusive, switch to WASAPI Shared.
  10. Different piece of music, but similar problem. Project has 17 instruments, 8 of which are Kontakt. Only midi in the project. When I bounce to audio the resulting audio lags behind real time. The lag varies over the length of the piece. No two tracks have the same lag - they go in and out of sync while playing. No FX on any channel. Split project up into 3 sub-projects, paring the instruments down. Bounced audio is 100% ok. I have Realtek on my motherboard. Normally use WASAPI shared, but tried WASAPI exclusive. Doesn't help. Tried archiving all midi and instruments except the one being bounced, doesn't help. i3 at 3GHz. While bouncing using 50% of CPU, 7.3GB out of 20GB RAM. Idle CPU is 12%. In a 4m18s piece the end lag is a 1/16th note at 120bpm. Driver/audio settings as above.
  11. All I could find on YouTube is that some DAWs have an Invert button. Ableton for one.
  12. I am quite sure you can't just add things to the pro-channel. They are designed, or modified by programmers, to work.
  13. There is no "pop up to install" You download the SHB-1 zip file. Open the zip file, move SHB-1.dll to the folder your VSTs are in. C:\Program Files\VstPlugIns is a good choice. Run Cakewalk, go to Edit -> Preferences. On the left File -> Vst Settings. If Scan Options is set to Manual Scan click the Scan button. (Other options will have scanned alread.) The amp will be under Audio FX in the Browser. Then have a look at these tutorials
  14. @GerhowIn C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\BitBridge.exe, in Properties -> Compatibility make sure it is set to Compatibility Mode Windows XP SP3 (probably is) and clear Run this program as administrator. That worked for me. Somehow, Run as admin crept in. Support are checking with BitBridge developers. Maybe this will help with other soundfont problems?
  15. The Ronald Passion is 32-bit. I can get DSK 32-bit instruments to work, but this one makes Cakewalk crash. Looked good in a YouTube review. Just saying, no recommendations.
  16. Marque select the automation and copy and paste. Just be careful with the start points timewise.

    exporting audio

    You must bounce the bass to an audio track. Then you must bounce the drums to a different track. Pan the one hard left and the other hard right. Route both to Master. When you export, do it from the File menu. Under Source Category select Hardware Outputs.
  18. You can even rename the bus Master. Won't give you Metronome and Preview, but not the end of the world. You can always try "reinstalling." Ugrade to latest and then roll back again. Might fix the problem.
  19. Ok. There at the bottom left click on Console to open the console view. It will be a small section at the bottom of the screen. It also has a menu strip at the top. Click on Strips and then enable Buses.
  20. Have a look at this list (concentrating on the Free section 😀) Deesser article Also do a search for free deesser on YouTube.
  21. Ok, that is not Console view, it is Track view. Above the list of tracks click on Tracks, then select Track Manager. There you can enable Master.
