But, but. How does one insert a CC1 event? I mean, where do I find the event viewer/controller lane? Edit: Found it. Big thanx, gentlemen!

NI works in very mysterious ways.

That did the trick, scook! Thanks a lot. (I seem to remember that you have saved my day before.)

I'm recording four chords in Kontakt/Hybrid keys. All is ok on the first playback. But when the track ends, the cutoff knob in Hybrid keys are automatically set to zero. And it remain this way on next playback, resulting in no sound. A workaround is to touch the mod wheel (Komplete kontrol A61) when starting new playback. This is not a Native instruments function, (according to NI) Does anyone know how I can get rid of this behaviour?

I had this problem with my Octa-capure on a regular basis. Windows (Youtube in google chrome etc..) sometimes grabbed the Octa-capture and would not release it. My solution was to re-activate the on board sound card. When this "lock" occured, I clicked on the sound icon in the taskbar, and assigned the onboard card to windows. And with a tiny "click" from speakers, Cakewalk would get access to the Octa-Capture.

Thanks, Blades! I often capture video as I record. I used to rely on the camera mic, but that would require me to enable the speakers to capture the sound into camera. -Feedback! -Now I'm using one of four headphone outputs directly into camera, and film during some of the performances. (Or mime.) This way I can syncronize movie to the exported sound from Cakewalk. I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and syncronize sound/film, and mute the film sound track, leaving Cakewalk-export as sound source. All in all: it's quite a hassle.

Thanks, gentlemen. Here I was somewhat anxious about my accent as I am from Norway. But me forgetting about the autofocus switch on the lense seems to be my biggest bummer. :) I can live with that.

Very good observations there, random internet guy! I totally agree with you, and I have no excuses. Those thoughts have crossed my mind, but I ignored them. (Well except for the dolphins) Should not have. I simly forgot to set the camera gear in manual mode. About the guitar track. That Martin have recently started to sound very good. I have struggled to get a natural sound, but now the guitar grew on me, I kinda didn't care so much. That might have done something with the technique. Also I did use one mic only as opposed to earlier times when I was very "high end" minded. Using two mics, and what was actually restrictions in guitar positioning. One Neumann TLM 102 on guitar. Røde K2 on vocals. -No reflexion filter. In fact. It's for sale.

Original by Gillian Welch. I do not have the guitar skills of David Rawlings, so I had to re-arrange to fit.

No support for video here at work.. (Citrix) Will check in an hour from home! Thx!

I am able to kill TeleportServer in task manager, but the Cakewalk process does not give up its spirit.

Sirs. I accept program crashes from time to time. Often they are my fault. (I still try to use corrupted plugins sometimes. Sigh) But Cakewalk does not quit, and I can not kill the process. I guess you all have been there.. I have to restart the PC, and sometimes the soundcard as well. This takes a relatively long time. Is there a trick, or something smarter do do to get up and run again after such a crash?

Thanks, guys! I've been reading and trying and testing. Banging my head to walls in all directions. NI has turned confusing design and vague formulations into an art form. Their concept of client software; kontrol, kontakt, kontroller editor, native access, maschine and what not all contain more or less same instruments in a soup. On top comes the "player" series, in which i got a "full version" downloaded, which turned out to be a set of demos. And my kontroller editor does not work with A-series. Why on earth did they bundle it? Wasting weeks to understand, finding mostly stupid stuff, and things i cannot do with my new A-series keyboard. Oh! And I got back to Cakewalk the other day: What a nice pair of familiar, favourite jeans!

Thx, Azlow! I really want to use my old favourite Cakewalk. So I'm struggling to assign transport kontrols to keybord shortcuts. But all I find are notes in the list. This dialogue box makes no sense to me:

Here are the ones with no lasting success (I have forgotten the name of a couple from the 90's except the Gold star) Gold star GMX 49 Oxygen 25 Korg Nano kontrol Komplete kontrol A61 Some have had a certain dergree of function. But suddenly they stopped working. Ain't nobody got time for that! How do you assign keyboard shortcuts to MIDI transport control? (Aside from the Mackie/generic surface stand-in list) I know that in my last blunder, everybody's waiting for Native Instruments to deliver. But Ableton looks promising.. But if I could assign th "Play" button on the Komplete kontrol keyboard to spacebar in Cakewalk, that would be great!

I have struggled a couple of decades (three, more like it) to get Cakewalk to cooperate with gazillions of midi remotes and keyboards without stable success. And this christmas I got the Komplete kontrol A61. I had high expectations as I had briefly seen success stories in forums. Turns out Cakewalk is not supported. Even the workarounds are obsolete, and I can not even use the transport controls. How hard can it be? I'm on day 3 in learning Ableton, the demo. And MIDI works a charm. I've got 30 days to decide.
