  1. Works on Firefox. I'm watching your video now. Very helpful. Tks!
  2. Hey folks, question. Just starting out with this stuff. I have a simple series of midi kicks. I want to be able to change the velocity on a single hit, and/or make all the hits the same velocity at the same time. I can't figure out how to do it. I've watched a few videos and read Cakewalk help files, but I'm stuck. The SMART TOOL and the SELECT TOOL don't do anything. It seems so difficult to find out how to do something simple. Anyways, thanks. Image attached.
  3. I got it actually. All good. Tks for your input man. It's appreciated.
  4. Hey sorry to be a pain, but how do I get an AKAI MPD218 to work with this? Installed SITALA just fine. Tks The MPD218 works fine with every other virtual instrument.
  5. Hi, what can I use to build a custom drumkit in Cakewalk with my own samples? Such as plugin or instrument that'll correspond to the pads on my Akai MPD, and I just drag my samples onto the corresponding pads in the plugin? Similar to the basic drumkit in Ableton. Thanks!
  6. OK, so all I need to find out is the exact steps on how to do a simple CROSSFADE between punch-in and out points on a bass tracks to get rid of pops and clicks. I've looked it up on Cakewalk's help pages and watched a handful of videos, but I can't seem to find out the information, or people everything make way too complicated. I need to do a simple crossfade between two clips on the same track. That's all. Thanks.
  7. So it seems that unless you have a $4000 computer, it's pretty much a pain in the a___ to record lol!! but thanks people. appreciate the help.
  8. System: WINDOWS 10 64 Bit, Intel Core i7 8550U CPR @ 1.80 GHz 1.99 GHz Wondering if anyone can help me out. Having pretty bad latency problems using an Apollo Twin Duo USB with Cakewalk recording bass and guitars. I'm not using direct monitoring through the Apollo because I'm using plugins in Cakewalk and I need to hear them, so I'm monitoring through input Echo in Cakewalk. As an example, on a single track, I'm using just a Sansamp BDDI plugin and an amp sim plugin. Neither are high CPU usage. Add a compressor plugin to that, and forget about it. Totally unworkable. Note that I'm not running ANY other plugins in this situation. I've attached shots of all the settings I'm using. I've had WAY less latency using cheap interfaces. Almost seems like the more expensive I go, the more problems lol!! Thanks
  9. OK, so I'm using Cakewalk Platinum on a Windows 10, 64 bit Laptop. Attached are specs. I'm using a UAD Apollo Twin Dup USB as my interface. Plugging straight into the HiZ input with a guitar with passive pickups. Lot of noise problems. Static, pops and clicks. I'm also getting audio dropouts. This is happening when I'm trying to record ONE SCRATCH GUITAR TRACK, with only an AMP SIM plugin and a Tubescreamer plugin, I'm not running a big session with a whole lot of things on it, so it's not a problem is CPU drain in that regard. I'm running my buffer on the Apollo at 256, so that shouldn't be a problem either. I have my latency set as seen in the image. Note that if I try to go any more towards 'safe,' I get complete dropout. I really don't know what to do. Forget the fact that the Apollo Twin has been more of a pain in the A than any other interface and I'm sorry I bought it; if Cakewalk is going to present these problems at this stage, I'll probably bail and go back to Pro Tools.
  10. Here's the setup: My friend's production environment is a Midas M32R console into ADAT. He uses no DAW. He wants to use my setup (Apollo Twin Duo USB + Laptop with Cakewalk) as essentially outboard gear, so he can utilize my plugins and so forth. I have one guitar track coming out of his console Mic In into The Apollo and into Cakewalk on my laptop, onto an audio track, then back out of my Apollo onto an audio track on the Midas M32R. All Good. Sounds fine. So: I'm taking a Mic Level signal of a guitar track from his console, applying effects to it in Cakewalk, then sending it through my interface back out line level to a track on his console, with the intention of printing just an effect track on his ADAT machine. (For example, printing a reverb.) As one would print an effect to an AUX track within any DAW. Can't figure out how to do it. Thanks.
  11. it is, which is weird and iwhy I can't figure it out.
  12. Here's a simple question: I need to be able to play guitar to a track and hear myself. Cakewalk seems to be weird in that I can only do that if I the track I'm playing on is armed for recording and I'm actually recording. It's obviously some stupid thing I'm overlooking, but I can't figure it out. BTW - I can hear myself playing when no track is playing and nothing's going on transport-wise. I'm fine with that. No I/O issues. Tks.
  13. OK, so here's the deal. Can I take a stereo mix of a song - as in a WAV file of a song - import it into Cakewalk, and snap it to a grid so that I can do some sequencing to it? Let me ask the question in a different way: Somebody who really doesn't know what they're doing at all is sending me a two track mix. They want me to track some synth parts to it. I need to work on the gird to do that. How can I do that, when the song I've been sent isn't on any kind of grid, per se? I need to get their song onto a grid somehow in order to have what I do sync up to what they've given me. Thanks. Appreciate the help.
