 I found more useable ones that don't need the kind of tweaking needed to customize / tone down the busy-ness that can clash in the context of a composition.

I agree I was surprised to see this as a freebie as Arturia usually charge for their Newloops packs which i've found a lot more usable than some of the overly produced ones.

where is it !!!! 

Hi,

Have you tried the Time Shift tool for your use case? 

The Bitwig Discord is where Bitwiggers hangout for more questions like this https://discord.gg/zc6S6rza

I'm a pretty simple user but what finally sent me back to Ableton Live recently was the lack of retrospective recording and the overall layout somehow being less creatively inspiring than Live.

Yea I found the opposite. I found  the side by side clip launcher to arranger really inspiring over Abletons Mixer style clip launcher. I guess it depends on what you are doing as to which features appeal either way.

Also Bitwig doesnt need retrospective recording baked in, thats the old constrained Ableton way of thinking. Bitwig's modular workflow  lets you put multiple devices in line on the same track and the MIDI chains through so put in something like Birds MIDI cap on a track and you have a much more useful and visual retrospective MIDI record implementation than Live.

Curiously there are 3 new libraries going for $29.99 each.  Hyper Rave, Inner City Soul, and Inward Universe.  Maybe the program got confused.  Maybe I did.

These are the bonus soundbanks that you only get for free with the upgrade to V Collection X

Full version but only VST2... This is likely a giveaway as a teaser for the no doubt very soon to be released new / VST3 version.

 

Sonically there is no difference nor advantage to be had between the VST2 / VST3  formats they would sound identical.

Assuming you are not using a legacy DAW  and something up to date the only format that would make  a difference  is  CLAP  which offers voice spread functions etc etc.

F.'em flash sale

Regular price is $179

Only in the sophistic realms of marketing managers imaginations is F'em a $179 synth.

Historically its been regularly discounted to $30 or so which is a fair price,  the $49 touted for this sale seems a little pricey.

The expansion packs look like a deal though.   

The $29 deal was under the old pricing model where you had to pay for the effects separately. Now that the hosts drive the revenue instead I suspect that this will be as good as it gets. 

Not $20 it was $9 back in May.

At least thats what I paid for it direct. 

Thanks for the responses if its not a common problem then it looks like its something at my end, so a fair amount of step by step elimination awaits . . . 

HI,

Every now and then for me Cakewalk randomly boosts the gain to maximum. This happens to either individual VSTs or audio tracks, frustratingly the event does not appear in the undo menu.  When it occurs its sudden without any obvious trigger. I thought at first it was a controller sending rogue MIDI data but it seems to happen even when all my controllers are switched off.  I was thinking  at first it might be my MIDI interface or maybe a driver issue but googling around I see that Cakewalk was heavily impacted by unresolved bugs in the past, before I replace the interface has anyone else experienced this?

I just checked both scenarios and they work flawlessly Win 10 , I5, 8 Gig.  There really isn't any reason not to upgrade to Win 10 other than ten minutes of your time. 

 I only recently  upgraded my i5 Win 10 system from 4gb to 8gb. I use it for heavyweight DAW, gaming and photography use. I have never experienced    any memory problems  whatsoever.   It is extremely unlikely you will need any more than 8gb in my experience. A lot of the expectation for more is just from aggressive sales tactics from big PC companies trying to flog you stuff that you really  dont need. 

proteus Vx is just a standalone player implementation of the Emu Emulator X3 VST sampler. The X3  was 64bit  and looks like it works fine with cakewalk,  You could load up X3 and load your VX banks into that and it would essentially be identical.    Getting hold of a copy shouldnt    be too difficult. The only problem you might face is that the X3 has long been abandoned so there is no activation server anymore, however there are numerous forums with work arounds for this.   

I had a very similar    problem and after many  hours of  checking with a variety of different combinations of projects, VSTs and drum maps came to the conclusion that there is a bug that prevents output under certain combinations. Try a new project or get a different VST.  works as a workaround.
