I had a D50 at one time. Wish I had kept it. I still have my MT32 and D110. I wrote an editor for both so I get the gist of how they work. The original MT32 was way too noisy, especially the reverb. D110 was better. I'll check out the SC VST more. Thanks as always!

Yeah, I know about SC. Some days I think I might get it. Then I don't Lol. I use the Munt MT32 emulator mostly for this stuff. TTS did have a couple of sounds I liked but not enough to spend money on the SC.

I tried this and still get the crash. I'm not surprised especially considering the efforts to resolve this in the past. So I think the rule of "Use it first, use it fast, freeze and get out" still applies. But thanks for this. I'm glad to see others are still looking for a potential solution. One difference though is that it just closes CbB rather than giving the usual crash error. Might be unrelated.

Please accept my apology. I misunderstood. I will work with it until I understand why I sometimes get single or multiple tracks in the export unexpectedly. The key word is "selected."

I always have to stop and check: Am I at the right time and do I have the right track highlighted. Otherwise I got clips pasting all over the place.

Entire mix or selected tracks/busses. I'd like that too.

I see the Melodyne files in the project audio folder. Seems Cakewalk does it right, again.

Thanks everyone, that's some detailed info. As asked, when I download, I just change the extension to cwb. The file opens fine. If I forget to change it, I just rename it when it's done and it opens fine. Interestingly, the extension isn't changed when I send bundles back to him. They stay cwb, It's like Google learned something on my side that can't be changed. The file will show as a .cwb on My Drive but when I go to download it, the file manager window shows it as .wav. So it's some association there. I've never had an issue sending bundles around. If I ever do, I will certainly switch to zip files. But for backups I copy all of the files directly with no bundles or zip.

Fixed. And it's still sort of weird. But ... I somehow turned on Bass Boost in Enhancements for "Speaker Properties." But the effect was that Cakewalk played it correctly and any other wave program (any and all) reduce the bass. I flipped it back on and no change. Bass is still correct. So something weird was up in Windows. Somehow this involves girls too. Always does.

Right. I disabled the one LP-64 in the master bus and no change. But there shouldn't be a change. What is going to my interface is what should be in the mixdown ... and it's not.

Since this update, I am losing bottom end in mixdowns. Not tons but clearly it's reduce. Its appears to be below 120-150Hz. Is there some setting that affects the mixdown bottom end? I pulled up some older tracks and exported them (all wave 44.1k 16bit and Entire Mix selected) and all of them exhibit this reduction. Any suggestions on what might be happening? Edit: Did the rollback to 09 and nothing changes so it's some setting I've altered I suspect or some plugin is being stupid all of the sudden. TK

Has anyone noticed Google My Drive changing the extensions of .cwb to .wav when you go to download it? I think part of the reason is that My Drive has learned that .cwb contain wave files and has that associate. But I've never found where it happens. Even Google shrugged their shoulders at the question.

Melodyne, as good as it is, is still limited in how far you can shift notes. You can go up or down only about two steps before it starts to sound mushy. Now if it's combined with unaltered tracks, you can push them up or down a little more, but stand-alone, they start sounding weird no matter how much you mess with the formant and EQ. I too can't really sing. While I can get pretty close to the correct pitch there is nothing special or interesting about my voice. No one wants to hear me sing. Singing a song over and over makes you start settling on the notes you like but you'll often still be off in places. So I sing a track 10-15 times (comp mode) and edit together the best sections. Then I correct it with Melodyne and then sing to that as a guide. I sing it again a couple of times and take the best sections and put those together and use Melodyne on that final track. By then, the corrections are more limited to just pushing the pitch slightly to where it needs to be. Having that Melodyne corrected guide makes staying on pitch far easier. For harmonies, I will sometimes copy the track and then use Melodyne to push the notes to the harmonies I like and sing them again using those as the guide. You can get some pretty nice results. You just have to be willing to spend the time although it goes pretty fast once you get going.

Try the Munt MT-32 emulator.

Call it the radix point. Impress your friends. Chicks dig it. Most. Well, not most but many. Or a few. Ok rarely. They think I am being pedantic.

I see this too. Restarting the track seems to clear it up. It appears to happen when I do a very rapid start/stop a couple of times with the space-bar. I've never figured out why. It's like half the instruments don't start.

Xpand defaults to Midi channel 1. Make sure the keyboard is set to 1 (or change both to be the same channel.)

Browser? Got it. Never called it a browser.

Hi Rick, Yes, I still have it. I have nailed down the track that will do it, but I can't figure out why it does it. It appears to be related to how CW brings in an audio file to start it playing. The chirps occur at the start of the clip. Fading in through automation, removing FX/PDC, chaning buffer sizes, resizing the clip to get past the chirp, editing the start for a confirmed zero crossing start - nothing stops it. Wi-fi off, BT off, LAN off, different interface, changing driver revisions, restarting CW, restarting computer, no other programs running - well turning off the computer does ... But the perplexing part is that I can sit there with the space-bar and start the track over and over and sometimes it doesn't chirp. Why not? If it was some issue with the wave, then it should happen all of the time. I also notice the chirp position can drift around a bit (under 100mS window from what I tell) and not happen at exactly the same time. I've been watching to see if it starts as the song gets more complicated (more tracks, more effects.) Anecdotally, it does "appear" that way. At some point, here comes the chirp. My work around is to mix down multiple time and hope I get one without the chip. 1 in 10 times, it will be clean (or unnoticeable.) And I have too transferred to Reaper and it doesn't chirp but I can't say I have totally reproduced the environment in Reaper exactly like CW. Weird.

When is that?

Thanks for following up with the solution. It will help someone in the future.

You have to insert a surround bus for any of the controls to show up. I use it fairly often. However, things like speaker mute don't work.

I still use Pentagon. It has some great presets. Yes, I fully expect Cakewalk to implode one day and take half the block with it but for now, what the hell.

Another "who knows."
