You should only scan locations where VSTs are installed and you should never scan anything else.

Not a bug. Almost certainly user error. Probably a sample rate mismatch

Even if it was a bug, no way are  the developers going to bother with 13 year old obsolete, discontinued software.

Um.... Take a deep breath and relax some.

Two Factor Authentication is there to increase security and help protect privacy.

Serves him right.

The message was that I was very good at doing the wiring part, but not quite so good at checking if the bulbs actually worked ! ? I obviously should have thought of that, but they were all brand new, bought that day and all three were defective - what were the chances?

I learned a long time ago that "new" stands for "never ever worked."

At the height of the COVID pandemic, apparently Clapton came out as anti-vaccination. I saw a meme that suggested that maybe he'd be enthusiastic about taking it if it were named "George Harrison's Wife."

Ouch ?

So? Is the information above out of date? Or would you prefer that everyone write out their replies again in the new thread?

After 5 years very likely.

, i use roughly 20 strips  in a mix, half usually guitars.

i use guitar rig in the FX of the strip and this is hogging alot of the memory.

There's most of the problem.

1) Do you really need 10 guitar tracks? 

2) If so, you need to start freezing tracks b/c things like Guitar Rig are hungry suckers.

3) To reiterate what John said, you should think more about what processing you can eliminate rather than what you can add. Your mix will thank you.

Too bad you can't track them down and cut them MFs

The only logical explanation for that sort of thing is demons.

When I use BIAB, it is as an idea generator and then only for stuff that is outside what I usually do.  By the time it gets to "tape," it has been heavily edited and hardly resembles what I was given.

Use some kind of host like Cantabile that is designed for the purpose.

Like a lot of people these days, I am aware that AI can potentially replace people like myself at work, but sometimes, I wonder how AI will deal with the unfathomable stupidity of a lot of the user questions I answer on a daily basis. How does Artificial Intelligence cope with Genuine Stupidity?

There are many cases where you really need to think creatively and do some extraordinary mental gymnastic in order to be able to even read and then understand what it is that those poor souls are trying to express. I'm not talking about typos here, but crippling inability to express oneself in written form (accompanied by an equally severe inability to think or understand simple questions).

In other words, you need to be able to think like a complete moron.

I have seen some desperate cases where I thought of asking a user to wait a little while I went downstairs in the garage, banged my head on the concrete floor a few times, and sniffed some paint thinner - just to try and level the playing in field a little.

I bet you AI can't do that, eh? Who's the intelligent one now?

Maybe stupidity is our last best hope. And it seems to be infinitely renewable, so, there's that.

Rejoice in thy dumbness I say, rejoice, for the kingdom is at hand.

I see you've been spending a lot of time upstairs....

Audio drivers have nothing to do with MIDI.

My apologies as well.

I tend to be very blunt and direct and that doesn't serve me well when I jump the gun instead of finding out more information first.

We have had so many people come by here and blame the software when they're trying to do things like run it on a dinosaur machine that is already breathing it's dying breaths or using multiple instances of ozone and things like that. I made an unwarranted assumption and forgot how to spell assume.

This isn't a Cakewalk problem, it's a your keyboard problem.

You know what really baffles me the most? Those assholes who complain that you aren't being helpful when you link them to the exact page in the documentation or to a clear, concise video that completely explains their exact question.

recommended but not required ffs, if bandlab want to get all the youth on board having a bunch of old men moaning when they ask a reasonable question won't help - come on!

If you want to call being truthful and realistic "moaning," that's your problem.

furry muff, but if it's about making things easier, why double-down on asio? a lot of (especially new) users don't know the difference between asio and their elbow and half the posts here recommend waspi (even more obscure than asio) as a driver, so let's be inclusive rather then exclusive ?

Maybe people should learn....

I don't think the OP is going to answer. He hasn't been back in over 3 1/2' years.

You really need to start your own thread instead of bringing a zombie back to life

3 1/2 year old dead thread....
