  1. Thanks Kevin, Unfortunately speed doesn't overcome my lack of ability! Timbo
  2. Good idea, I'll rethink the keyboard. It's happened several times this afternoon and is driving me nuts.
  3. I thought I'd share the deets of a new DAW I bought the parts for. Actually my daughter assembled it cuz my eyes and fingers don't work so well anymore. I already had a Komplete Audio 6 (v1) interface and AKAI Advance midi keyboard and didn't change them, just the PC. With an old i5 system I was frustrated with project loading times and the system coming to a crawl for a song with 30+ plugins and lots of VSTs and VSTis ... I'm the type of amateur who likes to mix as he records and see where the song takes me. So it's made of an Intel Core i7-12700K on a Z690 AORUS ELITE AX with 32 gigs of Kingston Fury Beast RAM. I bought 2*2 TB SSDs as well. I can't think of what I got for a case, but it's darned quiet - funny thing is I haven't built a PC in so long I was surprised to find that most cases don't come with CD drives anymore! Getting old I guess. I cannot believe the difference between this and my several year old i5 ... the darned thing boots Win 10 in less than 15 seconds! I've never had an SSD before ... Cakewalk projects that took minutes to load now take seconds and I've been able to record and mix more easily without having to bounce tracks to audio. All of this for $1700 Cdn, say $1000 US or 1200 Euros or 1000 Pounds, and IMO a pretty good price. There have been some glitches with Cakewalk though that I've been unable to identify, the one that ticks me off the most is that the scroll lock stops working regularly and I have to hit the ScrLk key on the keyboard to get the screen scrolling again. Didn't change the keyboard, so there's something off somewhere. So if you're tired of your old PC and have 1000 whatevers lying around under your mattress and want to fly me and my daughter to wherever you live ... the upgrade well worth it! The patrons at Tom's (tomshardware.com) helped me and my stupid questions and I'll give them a plug here if it's okay. Hope this helps someone take the leap, Timbo PS Kidding about the road trip, pay your PC store $50 and they'll assemble it. Then again, if you live in Bora Bora, we're up for the drive.
  4. I actually meant the 10,000th post in this forum, but I like where you folks have taken this! We are at 98,471 and counting ...
  5. Necroposting, I am now encountering the same problem with Melodyne 5 Editor 5.3.1.018 ...
  6. Can't wait to hear it, I love overtures or whatever they call them these days. Probably memertures or something annoying.
  7. I hear nothing wrong with this. Excellent job with the harmonies. The playing is mighty fine too. What an absolutely beautiful song.
  8. Well done, Jonesy! This is genius ... Since you didn't have access to the Philharmonic, this is incredible with samples! I have glimpses in my little mind of music such as this but have never been able to pull off something like this, it's majestic! Tell us, how many tracks, how many instances of EWQLSO? How, how, how, WOW ...
  9. This is excellent. Lordy this is well put together, from recording, to mixing and post-production. Props!
  10. I have had the same issue with the invisible blobs for years now. Melodyne doesn't always play nice with CbB, IMO. Ditto for reverting to the simple algorithm. And I'll add that it doesn't remember when I set the time division , I always have to reset it to the smallest (1/32 T or something like that). I find it disappointing that it doesn't work as advertised with CbB, everything works fine in their videos!
  11. Hi Daniel, That's the only way I can get it to work, too. It seems to be a "feature"! Timbo
  12. Here's an easy check: Start Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) before you start CbB and click on the CPU column so it sorts high to low. Then open a project and switch to Task Manager and see if your virus scanner (or some other application) goes nuts on your CPU. Timbo
  13. Thanks for all the advice. And Merry Christmas!
  14. I agree with the OP, it is in a dangerous place on the menu. Perhaps keep it but move the Delete Alls to the bottom ... Timbo
  15. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Timbo
  16. Thanks Jeremy and Andres, I was thinking that the special effects part with the sound editor was worth the extra $200. I like to play with (I'm a sucker for) effects and got caught by the video explaining it. Tim
  17. I've been working with the Editor version (Santa brought it last year) and people in my family think I've learned how to sing. At 64. Melodyne has an offer for Studio at $149 US which is $200 in Canada. Does anybody here use this product and if so how does it work with CbB? Is it worth it to pull the trigger? Ho ho ho, Timbo
  18. I forgot to say that you're a genius scook, thanks for the help.
  19. Lordy Scook, you've done it again! Thanks folks, Timbo
  20. Sorry, it just crashed my CbB, let me try.
  21. Yes, it's synced. Does that mean that it works for you?
  22. Hi all (again), So I'm still playing with Scaler 2. It's a VSTi that, among other things, is supposed to let you set up a bunch of chords in it (without copying to a MIDI track) and press play in the DAW and the chords play. All of this without copying the track to the MIDI track. My problem is that if I press play in Cakewalk with say 4 measures set to go in Scaler, the first chord chimes out but nothing else is heard. If I press the play button in Scaler, the 4 measures worth of chords play. Is there a setting I need to change in CbB to make this happen? i.e. press play when there is nothing else going on in the DAW (no audio, no other VSTis playing midi) and Scaler would play? If it does, I think Scaler would be a really useful piece of software to keep learning. Thanks to Scook, who probably be the first to answer!, Timbo PS I forgot to say that the workaround I've found is to record a blank audio track which forces CbB to play and thusly makes Scaler play as well ...
