Hi all, I'm a clueless newbie on this plug-in so I've been working through this tutorial using CbB and the free version of the guitar plug-in. I get as far as drawing "C1" at 6:27 but it doesn't make a sound. On the PRV the note assignments seem to be all wrong. Have I missed a trick? Many thanks.

Hi, I contacted Waves and they provided me with a very comprehensive un/re-install process. All is well now

It's the Addictive Drums 2 freebie kit.

Thank you scook.

Hi all, I get this a bit more frequently than I'd like, and I seem to get it all the time when I try to use Cakewalk TTS-1. Any advice please? Many thanks.

A very pro sounding recording and amazing musicianship. I'm jealous!

+1 on that. It's a really nice performance of a great song, but the right amount of strings would give it a huge lift IMO. Where's George Martin when you need him?

I think this is my final mix on this, so thanks again for your comments folks. I've taken the delay off the vocal, added reverb and changed the EQ as I thought the voice sounded a little thin, unlike me 🤭 On percussion, I think "less is more" on this one but I've panned the crash cymbals and put in some drum fills. I've also put a bit of melancholic string quartet over the previously solo piano bit in the middle. I think it's a huge improvement. I hope you enjoy it. https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/bestisyettocome2-066a17c5?revId=cc0d1963-6b7a-eb11-9889-0050f28a50ba

I think it's as good as it gets vocal wise Lynn, I've never claimed to be a virtuoso on anything 😄

Things sound out of sync to me. That said, really good vocals and superb guitar playing/sound. Wish I could get the guitar on my stuff sound like that. Get it all in sync and you've cracked it

Thanks all. Good points about the delay, I'll take another look.

Hi all, here's my latest WIP created in CbB. Lead guitar is a little shaky at the moment but I'm working on it 😄 https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/bestisyettocome2-a09a4bf1?revId=fa6c0d5b-6c77-eb11-9889-0050f28a50ba Comments invited

Got it. I had no idea you could do that and I consider myself reasonably CbB savvy 🙄 Many thanks 🙂

I had trouble with Melodyne a while back. I contacted their customer services and they were fantastic and got me back up and running again in no time. Drop them an email. They will either re-send you the installation files or provide you with a download link.

There's no need to shout. You're right, I've tried it and you can do this, so I've learned something valuable from you, thank you. I see you've started a new thread regarding Melodyne. I'll see if I can help as it's working perfectly for me.

You can't put an audio clips onto a MIDI track. Why would you want to? MIDI is digital information, audio is, well, audio, a sound.

Thanks for your reply Nigel, but what is the "control bar"? Sorry to be a bit thick 😦

Hi all, Is there a way to edit a MIDI value "en mass"? I expected the CbB event list to function like a spreadsheet but I can't get it to. In the example, how would I change the channel numbers to from "3" to "1" in one fell swoop? Many thanks.

Hi all, does anyone know what "p52" means in a MIDI file on the workflow please? The MIDI file was created years ago on an ancient Yamaha machine with a floppy disk drive if that's relevant at all. Thanks.

I know, that's why I said "before I read through the comments 😉

Very nice, but before I read the comments I was thinking that bass and drums could give it a major boost.

I won't be making changes as it's now released, but out of curiosity, what "spoken word" do you mean and why on earth would I need to "re-doing/tuning or sing them again and blend together" any vocals? That's how I sing I'm afraid. It doesn't get any better and I'm not going to falsify my work with auto tuning.

Hi all, I hope it's OK to post this but I'll understand if it gets removed. My new album "Night Vision", completed exclusively using CbB, is now hosted on Bandlab and Bandcamp: https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/albums/7e667cd2-855d-eb11-a607-0004ffd347fb https://keithwilby.bandcamp.com/follow_me Many of the songs I posted on here first and I've acted on a lot of the advice given, so thanks to everyone who listened and offered their opinion. It should also start appearing on Spotify, iTunes etc next week sometime. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words 🙂 The twangy thing with the piano is a voice from my aging Yamaha PSR-SQ16 synth called "SHAMISEN" which I understand to be a Japanese stringed instrument similar in appearance to a guitar. I had no idea what it was, I just liked the sound of it 😄

Most of my songs have lots of lyrics and and instrumental break in the middle, so I thought I'd turn that on its head for this one. https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/boundandbleeding20-83d6be20?revId=fbeca98b-0a58-eb11-a607-0050f28a2802&commentId=12734482
