  1. The VST3 spec recommends VST3 plug-ins install in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3  there is no provision for alternate locations. Most manufacturers do not provide the ability to install VST3 files outside of the specified folder.

    While DrumReplacer uses ARA tech and VST3 format, it is not a regular VST3 plug-in.

    FYI SONAR and CbB must be installed on the same drive. They share some registry entries, folders and utilities.

     

  2. There is no dedicated "edit mode" separate from the "multi-track" mode. Most functionality of an audio editor is available but not as a dedicated view in the DAW.

    If you are more comfortable using a dedicated audio editor such as Audition, it may be added to Cakewalk. Rarely do i call out to a dedicated editor but have a variety of them and tools (and documents) added to the Utility menu. I wrote a free tool to make this integration easier. ToolsEditor is available from this thread

    If you have any questions about ToolsEditor and the tools available in that thread please post them there.

    The audio is seems limited to 24 bit as it is greyed and unchangeable in the audio driver section.

    Most ASIO drivers operate a single bit depth. Usually 24 bit because that is more than enough for the interface. This is up to the hardware manufacturers.

    The record bit depth is set elsewhere in preferences

    In short, if a manufacturer supplies an ASIO driver use it unless it is defective.

     

  4. The VST scan log contains a list fully qualified plug-in dll and vst files near the top of the log.

    There is a link to my VST Inventory program in

    I am not aware of anything similar for DX plug-ins other than the plug-in layout xml files which are another source of the VST2/3 plug-ins names as well.

    •  The toolbar across the top resets to a minimal set of modules every time I open a new project (or reopen the same project).  
    • My changes to the track view don't remain...I'm always needing to click the little box that says "Workspace" directly above the tracks to say "all" so I can get "Mix, FX, I/O"  and everything else.

    These are caused by the workspace setting.

    Either create a custom workspace or set the workspace menu to None.

  6. Other than SI-Bass is there a problem with any synth not bundled with CbB or is it just a problem with Studio Instruments?

    If a third party synth, which one(s).

    Using third party MIDI files or data recorded in CbB?

    If this is a problem with existing tracks verify synth routings. Check the track inspector and verify the MIDI track or MIDI tab of the instrument track has its output set to the synth (or drum map) and the Audio track or Audio tab of the instrument track has its input set to the synth.

  7. AFAIK, nothing has changed WRT the MIDI metronome in some time.

    I used the suggested SHIFT method

    This does nothing to the MIDI metronome.

    It restores files missing from the user directory.

    Use this when the drop downs in the Use Audio Metronome section are empty.

    Change the MIDI key note from F#3 to C#3.

    Sadly, if you are using pure MIDI files, this setting will not be saved and you'll have to reset it each time.

    In the example provided below, there is no need to change anything in the Use MIDI Note section for the MIDI metronome to function. But one may assign the values as desired for synth receiving the MIDI data from the metronome.

    Of course, these settings are not stored in a MIDI file because they are not part of the MIDI spec. They may be stored in project templates and files for future use though.

    I don't know what the output: port 1 means and channel 10.

    All the values in the Use MIDI Note section are properties of MIDI notes. By convention channel 10 is reserved for percussion but the port and channel assignments may altered as needed.

     

    Here is a simple MIDI metronome test. In a new project

    • Verify the MIDI metronome is set up just like the help and the image above show (the default settings)
    • Open the Add track menu
    • Click the Instrument tab ("B" in the image below)
    • Click the Create button ("O" in the image below) to add TTS-1
    • In the new TTS-1 instrument track set input echo on (the button to the right of the record button on the track)
    • Start the transport

    Later if the MIDI metronome stops playing as expected, chances are input echo is off or the MIDI metronome options have been changed.

     

  8. "Cannot Create Process" usually means there is a permissions mismatch between the program that is running and the program being launched.

    IIRC, SF8 must run as administrator. Try running the DAW as administrator.

     

  9. The database in that reply has nothing to do with the metronome. It is the database used for plug-in categories.

    The only mechanism to restore metronome files is the copy perform during partial (SHIFT key on startup) and full (CTRL key on startup) re-personalization. These processes copy files into the user folder with the full process overwriting existing files.

    Note: the partial re-personalization (SHIFT key on startup) is not the same as safe mode where the SHIFT key is held while opening a project.

    Looking good so far, Big thanks to all concerned. Had to revert to Cakewalk theme as I couldnt read the words Proch in at the top of the inspector, otherwise until further experimentation I'm pleased with this version.

    User themes must be modified for this release. The geometry of some of the images have changed. See
