Do I need to mark this resolved?  If so how do I do that.

Thanks for the reply!  I think I might keep them separate for reasons you suggested.  Maybe make copies and deal with them so I don't totally mess things up.

So I was able to find the slide out thank you.  I was able to get both tracks  one orange and one green from the white notes.  So is there a way to combine the two tracks into one or do I not want to do that.  Both play at the same time so that is okay?

Simple as that.   Thanks!

The electricity got turned off for a minute.  When I turned the computer back on to Cakewalk and selected a song I got this message.

What do I do now?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies!  I will work on that.

I recorded one track and then I recorded another track while listening to the first track.  When I try to view the tracks with piano roll I get this.  Hopefully a screen shot.  And it doesn't select all the sounds.  Just apparently one track.  I'm not even sure how to ask this.  The screen shot on the right is how I recorded the tracks and the one on the left is what I get with piano roll.  But it doesn't change all the sounds to orange.

Enjoyed the song very much!  Being new to this Cakewalk thing I am amazed when someone does a song well coordinated or put together I guess I am trying to say.

Here's the new one. Some of my friends say this is a departure for me. Maybe more like a return to my roots.

Anyway, mixing suggestions welcome.

 

 

Isn't interesting how "sad" songs can be so beautiful.  I really like this song!  The quality of the instruments and the vocal is bang on.

Okay Tom Deering.  Thanks for the reply.

  As I posted I don't know what I am doing.  I am not familiar with any of the things you suggested.

I will try to figure them out.

Made this with an Oasis

Obviously I don't know what I am doing here?

I love writing songs about the Aussie way of life and this one is back to my traditional folk/country style.

The inspiration for Eighty-seven Years came to me when back on the road, the day after the Tamworth Country Music Festival. I was on my motorcycle and at the first stop quickly grabbed my notebook and wrote down the chorus.

It’s recorded using my Maton EM100C-808 Messiah tuned to Double Drop D.

Love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Paul, Great you enjoyed the song

My favorite kind of music.  A guitar, a story, and a person with a nice voice.  Thank you!

bdickens  Thanks for the link.  Very helpful!

Thank you for the links!  After looking I couldn't find them myself.

I downloaded a virtual instrument Ample Guitar m 2 lite.  There are lots of options and different screens.  Is there any place that can explain what the different options do or do I have to experiment with them all and figure them out myself.

Thanks

Great voice!  Piano a little muddy.  

Thank you very much for the responses!  I was confused which is not uncommon when trying to learn this DAW.

bdickens  your telling me I need both Din cables and 1/4" cables?  Correct?

John, thank you for the diagram.  What I am thinking is that the diagram shows me is that not only do I have the Din cables plugged in to the Focusrite but the 1/4" plugs plugged into 1/L and 2/R on the Korg and on the Focusrite line inputs 3 and 4 for the Korg keyboards to work.  Is that correct?

This what I ended up doing.  For the Casio I used the UM-ONE mk2 which is Din plugs to a USB port on the computer.  For the Korg Wavestation EX  I plugged in 1/4"  jacks into the Korg at the back of the keyboard into 1/L  and 2R.  Then into the Focusrite 4i4 into line outputs 3 and 4.  If I want to use the Korg Z1 I plug the 1/4" jacks into the Z1 at the back line/mono and R.  Then into the Focusrite 4i4into line outputs 3 and 4.  I am able to record with all these arrangements.  From what I can figure out from the tutorial this is not correct.  But I don't know what else to do.  Except for the Casio the Din cords do not work with either of the Korgs.   Yes, I know audio and midi are different.  I can do audio with the mic and a guitar.

This is what happens.  If I connect the Roland UM-one which uses Din plugs and plugs into a USB port to a Casio WK-1200 I get sound through the speakers.  If I connect the UM-one to the Korg EX I do not get any sound through the speakers or movement on the sound meter.  If I connect Din plug cables to the Korg and the Focusrite 4i4 I get no sound through the speakers or no movement on the sound meter.  If I take the same Din plug cables from the Korg and plug them into the Casio WK-1200 and the Din plugs of the Focusrite 4i4 I get sound through the speakers and on the sound meter which to me means the cables are good and the UM-one is good.  I contacted Focusrite support and they did some tests and said the 4i4 is working fine.   They also had me run a file called MIDI-OX which showed the Korg was producing MIDI.  I was assuming that if you wanted MIDI that attaching Din cables would work.    

I can play Quiet Piano with my mouse.  Is there any way to play it with my midi keyboard?

Thanks

Thank you for the tutorials John!

I will watch them again and again.  I am missing something and just have to figure it out.  

Thanks for the reply!

The speakers connected to a Pioneer receiver from the Focusrite and then from the receiver to the computer.
