Check if the midi in/out is assigned to a control surface.

Regards,

Giorgio

Yes, in my experience...

No,

anyway, as far as I know there are:

MID (standard midi) file that can be opened with many application for midi data (including song tempo)

and

OMF files for audio contents (only multitrack audio data).

If you need to transfer projects between different applications, you need both mid and omf.

Let's try this a different way - what do I need to do when saving a new project to ensure that the project's audio files will be saved to my Global Audio folder (which I have specified in Edit - Preferences   - Pathways)?

New file, record something, then choose File, Save As.

Now UNCHECK "Copy all audio with project" and this file "should" be related to Global Audio Folder for the audio recordings.

P.s., I use Cakewalk since early '90 and in the past it worked only in this way. In my PC I have tons of old songs stored in this way (I never had any problem...).

To do a backup of a song will be a bit more complex but it is still possible (there are more ways to do it).

You can try to save the song as a BUNDLE file.

Then, close the project, open the bundle file and deactivate the flag "store project audio in its own folder".

Once loaded, save the cwp file in a folder of your choiche.

This should be a file with the audio related to the Global audio folder....

Is CBB (or other audio application) running while you try to hear something  from other windows applications like Firefox?

Could it be that CBB is routing audio at 44.1 khz, while Firefox is working at 48 Khz causing the issue? (or something similar?)

Regards,

Giorgio

Very well.

I was writing the same for you.

You can also add the effects directly into the FX bin, using the "+" provided on top of the FX bin.

Try to do a VST scan in Edit, Preferences, VST Settings.

If the VST scanner don't find the new plugin, look at the folder in which the plugin installed the DLL VST file.

This folder can be added in the folder list indicated as VST scan path.

Probably internal CD Burner is not able to write CD Text too while burning.

Go to Edit, Select All, then again, Select by time and specify the first and last bar you like to export.

Voilà,

Giorgio

I don't know why, but I do not have this problem using the latest update.

I tried on a blank project and on an existing project.

Hi,

I strangely found a possible problem:

1: create an instrument track (I tried with TTS1 and SI Bass) - let's say this is track n. 1.

2: record some notes (you get a clip with some midi notes...)

3: freeze the track (now you will see the sample, NOT the midi parts)

4: duplicate this track activating "Events" too (you will see the new track as midi notes, not audio). This will be track n. 2.

Now, funny to say, this new track (n. 2) will be "doubled": the synth will be working but also the "audio" part will be audible too.

In this scenario, if you try to modify or even delete the all the midi notes in track n. 2, you won't see anything but the track will play!!!! (and you will not understand why an empty track is playing....).

In the end, if you use the "split instrument track" command (on track n. 2), you will get a new track n. 3 with the audio part (that was invisible before...).

Funny, eheheh,

could this be considered a problem?

Giorgio

Did you installed midisport drivers? If not I suggest to visit:

https://m-audio.com/support/download/drivers/midisport-windows-driver-v6.1.3

and install the driver.

Also, if you can, try to connect the midi interface into a different usb port (if available).

I am not sure but it seems a problem related to the communication between the midi interface and the computer.

Giorgio

Hi,

if you play your guitar using some fx to get the right sound, I suggest to record it in mono; then the effect that you will use will probably give you a stereo sound, based on the mono track that you recorded (electric guitars are connected with 1 single cable, so mono will be fine).

Regarding drums it depends: if you want to record "real drums" you need some mics and every mic needs to be connected, in the end, into the audio interface that must be a multichannel model (usually, at least 8 channels).

Given that if you plan to use an instrument for drums you will record a midi track that will feed the plugin, so no problems in this scenario. You need then to set the instruments and its multiple outputs into multiple channels in Cakewalk (BD - CHH - SD etc.).

Giorgio

For some old projects (wrk) I had to load them using Sonar Platinum 32 bit (on a computer running windows 10 32bit), and then I saved again each song in cwp format (now I can load those songs with CBB).

It happened only for a couple of songs....

Bye,

Giorgio

If I am not wrong, it is possible to insert an MCI command STOP or PAUSE into a midi track.

Giorgio

I am not 100% sure, but probably selecting WDM instead of ASIO you could use more than one interface at the same time.

If you don't need super low latency it could work.

Giorgio

I already found the solution/answer in the forum:

The only thing is that I have to remember to set as MONO interleave my mono recordings, to avoid an unwanted 3 db gain while exporting.

Bye,

Giorgio

Hi,

is it normal that when I want to export a single mono track I get a file with more volume than the source track?

I am using these parameters on export:

file type: wave
Source category: tracks
Source tracks: only one selected
Channel format: Follow Source (or mono)
Sample rate: 48000 (the project is 48000 / 24)
Bit depth: 24
Mix enables: only clip automation, fast bounce and 64 bit engine
The only way I found is to choose Dual Mono on Channel format, which gives me 2 identical files at the correct volume.

Thanks for suggestions,

bye,

Giorgio

P.s., I know that I can do a "bounce to clip" selecting all the clips in the track, and I can look for the wav file that will be created in the Audio folder.... (this always worked properly)

Thanks scook. I know that.

It's just strange that on Splat I don't need to activate that parameter.

bye,

Giorgio

Hi,

in my configuration I keep the Start screen disabled, and in the template folder I saved a file called Normal.cwt which loads automatically when I launch Bandlab Cakewalk.

So I get my workspace set with a blank song called Untitled Project1....

At this point, if I load a song is it correct that - in the background - the "Untitlet Project 1" song remains open? I can see it in the Window menu....

In SPLAT as soon as I load a song, the "Untitlet Project 1" unloads, and I have loaded only that song...

Any ideas?

bye, (and sorry for the silly question....)

Giorgio

Hi.

I finally resolved the problem (well I hope...) removing the Generic Low Latency Asio Driver that comes with Cubase. It seems that it was causing the problem (grrr).

BTW - if someone is interested - I removed it removing the string [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO\Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver] with Regedit (before that I exported the relevant string.... just in case...).

Bye,

Giorgio

I found a workaround...

I have to load a song with no audio (only midi), then I have to set NEW songs at 48Khz, and this set this song at 48.... (all ok for now).

Now I can create a new song at 48 (CTRL + N) or open a song already at 48 khz.....

Very strange: as said this was not happening in the past, and this is not happening in Platinum.

What goes on???

thanks

Giorgio

Hi to everyone,

I am experiencing problems opening 48 Khz project in my system.

It seems that there is a difficulty for my audio card (Midas VeniceF 16 Firewire) to set itself at 48 Khz, while using 44.1 khz projects it is fine. (loading the midas software I can see that it tries to set the board but it fails, and it keep trying and trying..... endless).

Opening the same project (same computer) on Sonar Platinum works fine, but with Bandlab Cakewalk (latest release) the program becomes irresponsive.

Also, if I set 48Khz for new projects, and loading a blank song, the problem is there.

Can someone help me for this?

Can this be connected with a problem of the new Threading Schedule system?

Thanks,

Giorgio

Mmmh, I see

and there is indicated that using an MCI message into a midi track the song will stop.

Interesting,

bye,

Giorgio
