  1. Interesting idea, BandLab (the DAW) and Cakewalk Next are developed by two completely different groups in the company. One way to find out is sign up for the Next beta.
  2. Rain is more spheroid than round. @Rain is definitely not round
  3. MIDI note assignments cannot be altered in SI-Drums, however; here are a few ways to assign MIDI note numbers before the plug-in: In the MIDI hardware - A lot of MIDI devices include some way to change the notes sent by the device In the computer before the DAW - software such as MIDI-OX may be placed in the MIDI data stream before the DAW. In the DAW - drum maps and the Transpose MFX both have translation tables to alter incoming MIDI data.
  4. in no particular order and likely not a complete list - definity not including the threads about the original VC purchase of these businesses some time ago
  5. Yep. another acquisition from Sony. IIRC, Vegas includes a lot of the Sound Forge suite which Sony acquired from Sonic Factory.
  6. The Cakewalk installer did not put "PITCH SHIFT " on your system. The DAW does not restrict itself to what is installed with it. There is an entire industry build around the notion of added features to DAWs via plug-ins. Sometimes a plug-in installed by one program does not work in another even though it may appear in the available plug-in list.

    AAS Updates

    I have more email notices from them, It looks like most of the plug-ins were updated. This is the first time I created an AAS custom installer with everything I own in it since building out my DAW. The option to build the custom installer is at the top of your AAS account download links.
  8. It's definitely 3rd party but the name is too generic to be meaningful to me. The image in your post looks like a pitch shifter that came from the Sony Creative line MAGIX bought years ago (Sound Forge). IIRC, those don't all play well in CbB.

    user guide

    FYI, the Reference guide pdf, the local and web-based help all contain snapshots of the same document at different points in time. Pdf updates do not follow a set schedule, usually happening a couple times a year. The local help file is updated with every release. In addition to being updated with every release, the web-based help occasionally gets corrections between releases. When it comes to print, there is not much out there about the DAW. Print resources started drying up around the time the product release cycle changed in 2014 to the current model.
  10. Seems like BandLab support need to check their scripts. At least, they should have referred the user to Cakewalk support. Support should know better. This really needs to be addressed.

    midi mix issues

    If you are opening existing MIDI files, the DAW defaults to saving MIDI files. So either do everything using MIDI or take advantage of non-MIDI DAW features and use File > Save As with Save as type set to Normal to save all the data to a CbB project.

    midi mix issues

    Are you saving as MIDI files or CbB projects? MIDI files can only store MIDI data to retain data that is not part of the MIDI spec save as CbB projects.
  14. Could be something particular with the actual characters used in the names. For example, I have seen users place dots in file names. While permitted by the OS, I don't recommend using them in project file names.
  15. I see no indication of the plug-ins failing scan. For example here is the last VST2 entry and VST3 The plug-in may display an unexpected name. Plug-in names are based on the VSTPlugInNameFormat read from Cakewalk.ini. This may be set in Preferences > File > Initialization File. Very rarely an FX shows up as a synth and visa versa so make sure to check both layouts. Also, when searching for new plug-ins, make sure to use one of the factory included "Sort by" layouts as they are automatically updated unlike custom layouts which must be maintained by the user.
  16. Objects for CAL was just a fever dream whew..................
  17. ASIO - the preferred driver in Windows DAW world limits most users to one audio I/O device by restricting DAW access to one ASIO driver at a time Mic yes MIDI no. And this trips up some., a USB microphone IS an audio interface with a microphone built in. So, if you are currently using a USB microphone, that will need to be replaced. This is all about audio so how a MIDI device connects to the DAW is not at issue. I am guessing USB keyboard here. Some audio interfaces have a built in MIDI interface. AFAIK, they all use standard 5-pin DIN connections on the MIDI side. That covers input, since ASIO is handling all the DAW output too you are going to want something attached to the interface to hear what's going on.
  18. One more thing, plan on routing ALL the audio going into and coming out of the PC through the new interface or plan on buying more gear.
  19. Unless you need something with a bunch of I/O for simultaneous recording, Focusrite Solo or 2i2 seem pretty safe choices for a first interface.
  20. Mike Tyson said it better "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." At least this resonates with me more (I wonder who really came up w/ it).
  21. It's worse than you think. There are quite a few choices for PC audio. Some are better than others when working with DAWs. It appears you have made a very bad choice.
  22. clip gain automation envelope? Display for clips in this track was enabled when the edit filter was changed to this envelope. As you can see, the display is persistent. The edit filter is this drop down in the track header
  23. Not sure what the motivation is for re-install but User data is not affected by uninstalling the DAW. This includes not only your projects and their associated audio, but stuff like the DAW configuration files in the user directory too.
