I have programs as well, but no audio/video (except for finished mixes) on my system drive. I guess it's ok to leave that drive indexed. I don't care about the search speed much as I rarely need it either...

Is there an advantage on the C drive as well? I'm rockin' great here right now using two external USB3 SSDs for audio and Instrument libraries and discovered a method of getting VSL (from Presonus and necessary to use audiobox 1818vsl, but stopped working when win10 arrived) working on windows 10! I'm floored as I really love what they did up to that point... Got Melodyne installed and updated to 5 at last! Abbey Road Studio 3 updated version! The list goes on. It's a whole new playworld for me with all the best of my collected past! No matter... I digress. Bottom line? All the tips have turned a truck into a race car! I'm a happy camper... for the moment...? 🙂

Thanks rsinger! I just finished those earlier this morning. Some excellent stuff. I had some done but couldn’t remember which drives to disable indexing. That was huge!

Hi Gang... OK,The new system is running a bit like a truck. Trying to remember and find the things needed to optimize for DAW use as this is my first win10 system requiring the power... I’ve disabled all audio drivers except that for my interface (needs replacing only old usb2). I have separate drives for system, music, and instrument samples for such as Superior Drummer. Should I (need I) turn off file indexing on any/all drives? I remember doing that in the past. A pointer to info on win10 daw tweaking would be very appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Mark... Ok, then I’m dreaming? I remember setting something so that the toast notice for export completion fades after a few seconds instead of requiring a click. It’s still working on my old daw. What did I add to change it. I think Noel was involved at the time during early release when the new export audio dialogue was introduced. Might not have gotten entered into documentation yet?

Building a new DAW - Always daunting the number of little details... I remember we were given a new aud-ini entry that enabled the Export Audio Success Toast to fade... But I can't remember theini entry. Can anyone please remind me? Thanks!

I got a notice (forced) to sign into bandlab but it keeps timing out. If I go to the bandlab page it shows that I'm logged in... What's up? Anybody?

Didn’t get to try it yet but GR4 is in my list of available plugins. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get to try?

OK... That's not the problem (unless they weren't all installed at the time of the specific events? I have all those years as well as 20-15-2022 But The sonitus plugins are in the folder and show up in my available plugins... But wait! Hold the presses! I just loaded one of the sonitus into the bus where the non-operating one is and would you believe it? It's working! So there's something it doesn't like about the version from my old machine to the version on the new machine. Maybe a different id# I'm happy though. Easy enou gh for me to edit the places currently in this situation and all future work will be fine! I had a problem like this with Rapture way back in the day with owning different copies over the years... Whew! Relief!

Which microsoft redistribut C++ year was needed for the sonitus stuff? So far that's my only (and important) plugins that I've noticed yet... to fail like this. I know there has to be more and from the number of notices during install it feels like all the sonitus just might be the total or close.?

Hmmm... I just realized that you're talking about manually installing Hmmm... I just realized that you were refering to manually installing the C++ libs, yes? I guess that might be why they failed to register. Almost everything I installed was 2005! Would it hurt if I installed the other years on top of maybe already having some/all? 200 5 sure did that plenty? Wou ld I then have to run regsvr individually for each failed plugin? How do I even discover that list? <sheesh> just realizing home much trouble this little part is..... 😉

Hi Mark... Stymied a bit now as this is now necessary. The sonitus plugins appear to be some of what failed during install. Can yo u point me to some instructions on manually registering these plugins? Thanks...

Hi Larry... I'll give a look as soon as I can get to it. Right now I'm more plagued that the sonitus plugins appear as if they're there, but are not able to load.... and I use the delay and modulator all over my work... sigh. There's still hope. I guess these are what need to be individually registered with regsvr as msmcleod mentions above. I need to investigate that first. I thought I saw GR 4 loading.... I'll look asap...

Thanks again Mark! You always come through with great info. I’m not sure what you mean about manually. I guess registration of each individually? Not sure how important. I’m not feeling as though I’m missing things. X1 isn’t opening but 2, 3, & Platinum are ok and I’m already deep into setting up Bandlab! Amazing myself with some of what I’m accomplishing. Cunning ways of getting old plugins (I’ve been doing this for a long time) installers? What’s that?

I agree... and I'm trying to do that right now. I have it working on my other DAW but I'm not finding it in this one??? OK... I've got a way to look I think... Yup... There it is. Last entry in Global Render Region FX Got it bound to me with promises again!

You think as we do. I have a downlink chain. This is the 5th machine my friend has gifted me. They then proceed to other friends he and I have in common who have less demanding needs than I and he in turn passes his old until it becomes a machine none of us need. The last person does as pleases at that point.

Yes, but luckily (?) I re-counted. Dual 12 core, not 16 do it's only taking up the space of 24 cores! edit: back on the ground. I believe only a single xeon 12 core but Cake is displaying the multithreads turning the 12 into 24? A bit of confusion as my older DAW has 2 xeon 6 cores for 12 total. I was surprised by Cake displaying threads as well...

big surprise ? just found out it's a dual xeon 16 core! It's showing 32 cores in Cake!

yeah ... I'm a real old timer dating back to cakewalk for windows in the early midi sequencer days. The Hammond ! One of my favorites. A very early entry from ikmultimedia. the B4! I use it in nearly everything !

Thanks Erik... I'm really not worried . Probably would attract more people. I'm just feeling anxious and elated . I was gifted this amazing machine 2 weeks ago and have been learning and remembering things as I go . I haven't done this involved a build in more than a decade . I'm trying to remember which versions came with anything important to me . Today I wiped the mac drive , installed monterey, installed win10 pro on a partition and now building a new Cake DAW. long way to go , but today was the major hurdles. Note that though older (2010) the machine I've been using is no slouch. An earlier gift from the same generous friend. mac pro dual xeon 6 cores running at 2.93 with 64GB RAM, but trapped (comfortably) at win 8.1. I'm finally @Win10 now that the world is moving to Win11! Do you remember which years were the Roland years? ...edit Never mind . those versions are no longer available . Yet another reason to keep my old DAW running

Wow! Going a bit nuts here. I was gifted a used mac pro 2013 (trashcan) fully maxed out with dual apple cinema 27” displays. Xeon 16 core @2.97GHz 128GB RAM Problems galore! Im downloading and installing old sonar x1,2,3 and Platinum as well as a number of others to retain all the gadgetry before installing Cakewalk by Bandlad (hopefully in this lifetime) after weeks of work getting this machine dual bootable! 1st problem x1 won’t open. I did notice the regsvr failing. But I’m gonna pound away at all the old installations even if they don’t work. The only one I use/want is the Bandlab version! Any tips, warning, help of any kind would be greatly appreciated! It's been a very long time since I ventured into a build such as this!

Oh my! I'm very sad. I will miss him as I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember. I saw/heard him with Weather Report a few times as well as his own band more recently. The most brilliant soprano sax player I’ve ever heard. His music has influenced millions! ❤️

I’m thinking maybe midi channel assignment needs to be specific? Do the tracks have a specific midi channel assigned? ...also thinking, there are patch change enabkes in most instruments. Maybe it got accidentally changed?

Did the settings contain the correct path to your song files?

...now if there was only some way of saving the actual bitrate settings!
