I am using Universal audio into computer with Thunderbolt 3   no issues...have used it for a couple of years.

I just updated to Kontakt 7 and assigned Komplete Kontrol everything worked fine until I saved the project and then came back a day later and Cakewalk just locks up.  Is anyone else having similar issue. or is there a fix?

I don't hear any issue with E4/F4 with Kevin v 108.  If it is resonance, I think that would have to be an acoustic phenomena happening in your listening space.   Have you tried headphones?  If it just a loudness balance issue with the notes, you might try creating a new Take on the troublesome notes.

yes it was with headphones on. see my other reply below, it was to do with the "BOLD" automation going positive on those notes.

I went back into the program and looked at the 'those notes"   this is where I was using the "BOLD" automation on his voice.  So removed the bold automation and changed the Soft voice automation to negative in the same spots and it seems to have gotten rid of the over tones.

any other thoughts , I guess you just need to be careful with the Bold automation on certain notes (E3, E4). perhaps they are at the top of the original singers range.

I am using Kevin version 108 and I notice I get a really bad resonance frequency at approx 4975 Hz, when he sings E4 or F4 does anyone else notice this OR

is there a way to fix? or maybe its the voice settings I will have to experiment for that.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried doing the drag into, but it didn't work, maybe because I was using the plug in. perhaps if I dropped the midi file in when im using Synth V as a stand alone program.

I will do some more experimenting and get back...

thanks also to locrian   :   I will try the record suggestion.

Thanks 

Does anyone know how  to:

1) move the midi file of the voice track over to Synth V without saving as a midi file and then importing into synth  V.

2) when importing the midi (voice) file I have to put a dummy note at Beat 1 bar 1 so that I can align the track once in to the synth V

3) is there a way to save the synth V voice track and ASP directly into cakewalk, I currently have to save the file as a *.wav file and then import back into Cakewalk. 

     Yes, I am using Synth V as a plug in ( in cakewalk DAW ) but still have to go through the process as described above.

When I viewed the video's on YouTube it appears that in studio one the above  1,2, and 3 seem to work inside the DAW.

Any advice on short cuts appreciated thanks.

I have seen a demo on YouTube that shows  ( in Studio one) that the video seems to drag the synth V  wav files into a track.   I have been saving the file into a folder and then importing the WAV file into Cakewalk... is there a quick way that I can just drag the file in from Synth V. when Im using it as a plug in ?

@ZincT

thanks for the help and advice... worked out ok.

Just FYI  I used as a plug in, just to experiment I bounced to audio file no issue, then I mono'd that track Cakewalk crashed...  re-started and did the same thing again and no issues it worked.

@Brian Lawler

Thanks for the help, once I rebooted computer I found the SYnth in my synth instrumnets.....

If Synth V is a vst plugin, it will have a .dll that Cakewalk will read and be able to use.

Not sure what you mean by "configure". 

[edit] I looked at the Synth V web page and see that a vst comes with the Pro version.  Are you not able to see it in Cakewalk in your list of plugins?

No I cannot see it....   I will try and contact the support team again. I sent email last week but have not had a reply yet.

@Stavv

@Brian Lawler is correct, Synthesizer V is VST3 only.

On my system, the plugin is located in this folder (it looks like you already have this folder included in Cakewalk so you should be good to go)...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\

and the plugin  (as per Brian's post) is called synthv-studio-plugin-x64.vst3

It should appear under Dreamtonics when you add an instrument (see below).

 

@jinkT   Thanks so much for the help. I am not to Savey with the computer I will check out and also do search for the VST file and let you know how it turns out. 

Grem,  no I can not see it in my list of plugins, I pointed the plug in manager at the dreamtronics folder assuming that is where the VST would be. but nothing found as far as I can tell.  I sent email into dreamtronics support but have not heard back yet. ( may because its the weekend).  Perhaps I am pointing at the wrong folder.

I did a system search for . VST file but nothing was found. I did check the load VST box when I did the original download of Synth V. I will try again and do another search.  Thanks for the ideas.

I purchased a copy of Synth V pro and a couple of voices, I use cakewalk but im having trouble using it in the software as a plugin (VSTi) I know your not using cakewalk but would you know the path that I need to 'point' the vst plug in manager to find the plugin file. I pointed it at the dreamtronics folder but it does not seem to find it. I looked in the the folder for a *.dll file or vst file and there does not appear to be one there. any help would be appreciated.

I have just purchased the Sythneziser V pro. Can anyone tell me how to configure cakewalk ( VST manager perhaps) so that I can use Synth V as a plug in.

I am also experiencing latency problems, It started when I down loaded the last version of Cakewalk I went back to previous projects that I had no problem with and some of those were now giving me glitches and dropouts. I recently downloaded the latest version of Cakewalk and the problem is worse.

The issue seems to come when I have tracks with Kontack on them. If I record the Kontack't track and then delete the Kontact instrument then the issue goes away.

I am using Apollo 6 interface, windows pro 10 , Kontact programs are stored on SSD, not the SSD drive of my system. I have 32 gig of Ram. 

I think with the new enhancements from Bandlab  the efficiency has been compromised.

Hi Thanks for a quick reply, here are two bugs that you could try.

1) open Melodyne in Bandlab. by double clicking the clip that has already been 'melodyned' notice that when the window opens you can not 'see' the  -, open window, and close window icons in the right hand top corner, now if you click on undock and then click on the expand window that has now appeared in the right hand corner you will be able to 'see' the - open, close etc. in the right hand top corner.

2) go to preferences in Melodyne, see that one of the short cuts is F1, however if you press F1 while you are in Melodyne it tries to open the Cakewalk help documentation as if you are still in Cakewalk and pressed F1, There are several other keys that are common between Melodyne and Cakewalk that do not work in Melodyne because they are opening things inside of Cakewalk, even though you are in the Melodyne window. for example pressing 'M' in Melodyne opens the marker window in Cakewalk.

These two issues above are just some of the ones I have documented and can re-produce, in fact the first one is in Bandlabs Namm presentation if you look carefully.

and these two are not bad I can deal with them, The worst ones are where I have to close the project down and restart Cakewalk because it is either not responding or Melodyne will not open when I double click on it until I close down and restart.

As I say I have started to keep a log of the issues, but with Corona virus, response is slow in coming, I think maybe they are not working during this time.

I have the latest Bandlab of cakewalk 2020 version and I also just added Melodyne Studio 4.......Since  I added Melodyne, I have had so many issues with Cakewalk freezing up. I have called/emailed both Melodyne and Bandlab. but as you say both blame the other. or 'try in a new project'. I cannot do this every time I find a new issue.  I have songs to record and running into these issues every time is frustrating. I guess with Bandlab you get what you pay for but as  a Long time customer all the way from 12 tones days, its disappointing.  I did offer to Beta site these programs for both companies but have not been taken up on my offer.

I have started to keep a list of the issues with Both programs. I will publish here when I update it.

Does anyone else have a lot of issues with Cakewalk freezing up??

I agree I also have a very high end 4K gaming screen, and video card. I sit approx 3 feet away from the screen and the graphics are very poor very granular. Has anyone found a fix to this yet other than the suggestions above?

Anyone from Cakewalk have any comments?
