  1. Thanks... I didn't even know there is one. My problem (as mentioned in OP is that my friend is both incapable of doing such and doesn't have internet (not even a smart phone) so it becomes involved gettting someone to visit him and use a hotspot to handle his internet needs. I will consider it, but it has been working fine until today, so I don't think it's the build, but I will download the EA for myself to check it out anyway. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe something changed behind the scenes on the server side? Still shouldn't affect the opening of the program.
  2. Has anyone run into this? I have a friend who is stuck with this problem. I've had him close it using Task Manager and re-boot as well but when he opens CbB it only opens covering part of the screen and is frozen with the Sonar ad and nothing working. The only thing I can think to do would be to re-install CbB but that's very difficult in this situation as my friend is both pc UNsaavy and has no internet. I would go over, but he's in Florida and I'm in California. My other friend local to him in Florida who has been handling his machine and updates is in the hospital so he can't help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!
  3. Melodyne is a special case as it was the original reason for ARA being added to CbB.. You'd know if you installed it as it’s a more unique install. Sonar came bundled with a special light version for a spell back in the Gibson days. It’s an excellent device, but pricey. I believe the flagship version Studio is $600 (or is it $700?) with 2 or 3 lighter/cheaper versions and upgrade paths from any version up.
  4. Do you have Melodyne installed?
  5. Here's hoping that one day soon, someone will come up with better means of handling these issues. The current paradigm is a mess!
  6. That sounds fine by me! I plan on leaving it until it (or I) dies! 😉 So I guess that's a benefit of the iLok... It maintains the license beyond the manufacturer once in place... Good to know (believe?)
  7. Thanks for confirming my suspicion... I was fortunate that being recently burned, I was not ready to chance something working fine for potential problems and avoided the update. Happily still working but for how long until they stop paying the license fee for the iLok version???
  8. Yes... I’ve been experiencing sluggish response often as well. Haven’t figured out why as this didn’t happen before. Almost like the intermittency of Internet action responses. Like what’s going on starting the program (empty). It used to take near 7 seconds regularly. Now it's more like 15, somerimes 30 and even ~54 seconds before the Sonar splash disappears and the program active.
  9. Interesting observation, but often for me I don't know if I'm going to need automation until long after adding the effect
  10. Big ouch! Luckily not necessary. Though it was painful while I was working, I didn't report this until after I'm essentially finished with my MIDI work on this song other than any necessary tweaks at final mix. So I really don't "need" to solve this to work, only to understand why it's happenning and how I might avoid it happening again... So I may do a quickie version of this idea starting a new project (empty) importing all tracks as frozen audio except loading a new instance of the VSampler I've been using for the testing and then copy the MIDI track for that one (after removing all the meter change info)
  11. Thanks for the confirmation David. Exactly my thinking. I took it all the way down to only the single plugin in a quick test and it is still problematic. Next going to remove all meter changes, save, reopen then remove all other tracks as well. Repeat close open I'll report asap
  12. Just tried a quick test deleting the meter changes without saving etc. No diff there but I'll do a full test in a while when I'm not multi-tasking others' problems simultaneously...
  13. We will see some time today. Thanks for the pointer. I'm surprised I didn'[t think to look there but that's exactly what I was looking for. I remember it but couldn't remember where! I'll review it as well as test removing all the meter changes and report back...
  14. will try asap... something came up requiring my attention
  15. Thanks David... I don't think so either. Especially seeing that so far it's impossible to find the pause key on my system due to mac/pc differences as well as keyboard brand unusualness.. I'm more convinced than ever that it's related to the meter changes as I can see how the PRV would need to interpret such. I removed all tracks except for the vsampler midi/audio tracks and bypassed all remaining fx.... The problem still persists. In none of my other project using this VSampler plugin with the same bass loaded including projects with nearly identical instrumentation brands/models If this is the case I can easily live with it for now as I've already weathered the tedious editing for this song and all that remains are vocals with a guitar solo.... No more midi work planned and I rarely do such meter mapping... 😉
  16. Thanks, but no. That's the tempo track and displays tempo changes. These are not tempo changes. The tempo remains the same but the song changes from 3/4 to 4/4 and even to 1/4 3 times! 😉 It's the number of beats in a measure...
  17. Thanks Jonesey... I'll try that in a little while. Just finished breakfast. i did try removing all tracks except the superior drummer and the vsampler used in all this. Problem still the same after save/close/reopen... A thought just came to me though. One possibly very significant item. This song has a number of meter changes! Maybe that or the crazy editing I did to figure out and map thr meter changes as the song evolved. Good possibility that either having such a map, or the sloppy way it was implemented? That’s really sounding plausible now? Maybe I’m not remembering, but is there any place to see an overview of the meter changes?
  18. I getcha. I’m not a mac fan either though as a computer tech I’ve done support/repairs/installs fir a few companies including supporting pg&e and pac bell. So I had to be fluent in each. But I was gifted these powerhouse (each of them cost my friend over $10k new) it was impossible to refuse. I have become far below poverty level (government assessment) these days. Made it a really easy decision. I couldn’t come close to this power myself. Only downside on the trashcan is the lack of multi-drive internal setup, so I do occasionally feel the drag running anything from the USB3 external. The thunderbolt 2 drives are a smidgen better, hut nothing to write home about. Trashcan... very appropriate for more than it’s appearance as they created a dead end flagship in this machine. I love the prior dual xeon 6 core processors @3.06 in a normal mac pro tower with 4 internal ssd's... A screamer but had me trapoed at win8.1 which I didn’t mind until I couldn’t get new software running that required win10. Now I’m trapped at win10! 🎃
  19. Thanks for trying... I've been doing this for a couple of machines dating back to the Sonar days and though everyone always is shy thinking it has issues due to this, I haven't discovered any one difference. Bootcamp supplies the DOS boot table and it's running on intel... When it's open as windows (the only way I use it) it is a windows machine... Period... Now the keyboard? That's always been a bit of a pain...
  20. Thanks... I just tried this and again, no change.... The PRV has a couple of seconds delay to any action I do and is "jumpy"
  21. Just tried it... No change Nope function keys F13/14/15 do nothing...
  22. Thanks... No, this is a 2013 Mac Pro "Trashcan" but the keyboard is a macally, not an official apple... I'm gonna try the function keys in a moment... Nope function keys F13/14/15 do nothing...
  23. No. I did not. That's more than I was prepared to do. I will have to duplicate the project then experiment on the copy so as not to lose my work while testing.... Maybe tomorrow? Thanks for the thought. I didn't think of this. I'll try the function keys you mention...
  24. Thanks John. i removed Labs from the project. Made no difference. If the synths are frozen, they should jot be adding resource demands anymore. I’m hoping Jonesy sees which key on my keyboard translates to "pause" as it’s a strong suspect.
