I'm an Ardent Linux user and open source fan, but if cakewalk doesn't want to make it's software open source, they shouldn't (after all, they own the software.)

Issue is: why not compile a Linux version? it's not as hard as doing a mac version, and it's not a must for it to be open source.

Tracktion is doing it with its waveform DAW. The music industry would benefit much more from Bandlab releasing a linux version of cakewalk .

I don't believe Linux or any Unix clone has the libraries and controls readily available to just "recompile it."

Are you using Delete Special with the remove hole box checked?

Wow, I still have my 505 that I used with my Pad5. I should dig that stuff out. D110, S330, VP70 among other stuff.

So think of it as GM's drunk uncle.

In fact, MIDI 1.0 could do it.

Share.

It is if you believe ...

Also look for the free Munt Roland MT-32 VST. He did a great job of emulating the MT-32 and undid the 14/15 bit limitations of the original hardware.

Well what ever happened, it works now. I did a CTRL-A and then changed one of the tracks from Volume to Clips. Only that track changed. Did it again, same thing. Shutdown the program, restarted, same thing. Rebooted, works fine.

It's a conspiracy I tell you! The CTRL-A and change one was my obvious thing to try but when it didn't work I thought it was something else.

Thanks again!

It might not work in the clip you're changing the Edit Filter on is already set to whatever it is you want to change them to.

The more I read this the more I think that might be why it wasn't working.

@Terry Kelley ... @Bristol_Jonesey is correct:

1. Press CTRL + A to select all tracks
2. While holding down CTRL, change one of the track filters to "Clips"  - this will change them all, because you've quick-grouped them by selecting them and you're holding down CTRL.

I thought I tried this since it’s obvious,  but it didn’t work. I’ll try again!

 

Hi Bristol "Jonesey" (if that's your real name ;))

Maybe I'm not being clear. From the Track View, I want to switch all tracks to Clips vs. Volume, Pan, etc.

Assume I have 45 tracks and want to switch the focus of all 45 to Clips. I don't see a CTRL-Event filter doing that.

I searched the manual and didn't find anything on this. Is there a shortcut to switch all tracks to Clip?

I was thinking also for automation but some tracks might not have a particular control like reverb. But a global switch to Clips would be nice.

It is similar to the request for supporting surround sound plug-ins.

This is not something easily done by duplicating tracks.

If we add in surround, sure.

There is a difference between instruments with multiple outputs and effects with multiple outputs.

Ah, like reverb or EQ with multiple outputs? Hmmm. I can see where it would be useful although today I just duplicate the track and use different effects on each one. One effect with multiple paths out ...

Edit:

I'll leave my answer here but I didn't answer the right question. It's about effects not instruments/sound generators.

 CbB already does. You have to select the multiple outputs when the Insert Soft Synth Options window comes up when you first insert it. Select Instruments Tracks per Output. And you can also select them to be stereo or mono outputs. Lots of other options too.

What I find absolutely amazing is the fact that so many people can keep a thread going on for so long over one guy's paranoia.

Some days it just makes sense.

My Servel has auto-pilot relight.

It's not about the evils of Cakewalk (for which I think there are none) but the increasing public concern over their privacy. For many people when they find out their software is phoning home (or whatever connection) it gives them another concern about privacy. As shown in the media, 95% of iPhone users are turning off Facebook tracking via the new iOS update. And it's good.  I have analytics turned on for Cakewalk and some other programs to try and help improve them. Cakewalk is harmless and I see no reason for them to make it harmful.

But when someone comments about a piece of software making connections and not liking it, it unfair to dismiss them as being old and out of touch. I started long before ARPNET (used it copiously and COMSYS) and watched this train roll along. I've seen it all build up to what we have today. Experience does count for something.

And I think this is a conversation for a different forum. But maybe Noel IS Mr. Big. I'm just sayin'.

Ok.

It is possible to extend the range of SI-Bass with a little  modification to the sfz files.

And some day when I am really bored ... 😉That might be today now that I think about it. I usually only need to go down to D.

Up next after the Illuminati. Do me next.

To be fair, people are getting more and more sensitive to these privacy issues. Its not unfounded but I don't see Cakewalk being at the center.

I have Ample's freebee but I mostly use SI bass with Bass Professor unless I need to go below E. Then I use a synth.

You saw what - a sign in prompt? Its mentioned in the first paragraph of what's new.

"Cakewalk will auto check and renew your activation status whenever a new version of the application is installed and run for the first time, and when you sign in to BandLab from within Cakewalk."

If you saw a sign in prompt it is because you have never signed in from CbB ever so it was not cached. Users who have signed in at least once would get a one time "activation refreshed" message and that would be all until your next update.

I missed this and I am wrong.

I've been playing with SoloContutti. It appears to work well. I insert a audio VST in my Main output and my buddy can join the session. It's free right now but I assume it will cost money at some point. But it does what I want.

Hi Noel,

I saw this too when I installed the update. It appears many people saw something that made them think CbB was calling home. Is it possible there is something happening here unexpected by the developers? I my case, maybe I was close to a timeout. I don't know.

As long as Cakewalk works during the times when I am not connected to the internet, I really don't care if Bandlab lives with me.
