  1. A perfect sound is probably as difficult to hear as it is to define. That said, resampling from 44.1K to 48K would not be expected to cause "bad" artefacts. Where are you getting your sounds, and are they simple wave files or some kind of stretchable loop like REX or Acidized Wave? How exactly are you getting the sounds into your project? ?If you want to check if the problem is in your use of Cakewalk, or if you just want to resample outside of Cakewalk you might try R8Brain.
  2. The publicly available online documentation for the Alesis V49 is pitiful. Apparently the knobs and buttons are "assignable" (they can be programmed to send different MIDI messages). To do so you will need to download the V-Editor software (click Downloads). The User Guide references a V-Editor User Guide but I cannot find a freestanding copy. If you are lucky it will magically appear when you install the software and all will be explained. Or perhaps it is available only to registered users with an account. You can look in the Event Inspector to see what is being sent presently. In order for the CC's to have an evident effect, they need to be sent to something that knows what they mean, typically a synth. With luck someone who has this working will come along to clarify everything.

    The ability for a developer to exploit something that he expects to be there is commonplace. It is why so much software defaults to install on the C:\ drive, which is always present on a standard Windows system. Of course not everything expected is always there, in which case the developer would do well to include it in his own installation, which is why your computer probably has at least a dozen versions of the Visual C runtimes.
  4. I keep a hard drive with a Win7 Pro installation, and one with a Win XP as well (expensive film scanner abandoned by the manufacturer with no drivers for newer Wins) and a drive drawer on my machine. So far my office machine will run all three.
  5. Looks like this is back in version 1.31 at the reduced price of $21.55. It does seem to be a work in progress. Something like InstaChord or Scaler? https://vstbuzz.com/deals/53-off-forager-by-harvest-plugins/ 1.3.1 Patch Notes - 1/13/2021 Fixed issue that caused project file sizes to grow large and unstable 1.3.0 Patch Notes - 12/18/2020 Added Inversion Controls. Enable inversions eligible for randomization Removed Randomize Inversions from dropdown menu.

Increases or decreases octave of all grid items simultaneously Added List Octave. Set the default octave of chords placed onto the grid. Changes octave of all chords played from the list Added Randomize Inversions.

  6. What is a "watermarked" Free Angel? Do you have to hold it up to the light to appreciate it?
  7. USB-C is a specification for the connector, not for the USB protocol used to transmit data across it. Your manual should clarify what connection speed is being served over that socket, but I would doubt that a laptop with USB 3.x on the other sockets would be at USB 2.x on the C socket. The USB 3 spec calls for backward compatibility with USB 2, so any USB 3 socket should serve USB 2 without needing a second hub or port. That is to say that if you have a USB 3 socket, it should always serve both USB 3 and USB 2.
  8. You can test the quality of the 5 pin DIN to USB interface/converter by installing MIDIOx. If your chords are coming through on that you know the keyboard and inteface are doing their job. Realize that MIDI, being a serial protocol, sends chords as a series of closely spaced single notes so do not expect to see a "chord" displayed in raw MIDI.

  10. Probably a plugin with a large lookahead buffer. If present on any track all tracks will be delayed to stay in sync. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.22.html
  11. https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon On a "new" system it is likely some setting is not optimal, or a "feature" not present on older systems is the problem. Do you have the problem on the old system? Run latencymon. Many people find that interrupts from their wireless networking is the problem, but it could be a lot of other issues.
  12. The flash drives being used for commercial distribution are generally just plain vanilla USB drives with no special "audio" formatting, although they can be "customized" so that the exterior has the artist or album name etc. on them. Usually the music files are MP3 or WAV files, although they can include any other kind of data in addition to the music, like lyrics, photo's or promotional videos. The files are playable or readable in any device that can...well read them, like a computer many video disc players or car stereo systems with USB inputs. Unlike a CD. the audio can be in any format that the player device can interpret, so insane levels of sampling or bit depth can be distributed, and the capacity of a large drive will hold the lifes's work of most artists. On the other hand people are unlikely to keep a box full of thumb drives next to their stereo, so in practice most of these drives are going to be used to transfer the songs to a hard drive or upload to the cloud, where they can more easily be accessed. For your own use just copy the music to a blank drive as WAV or MP3. If you know the way the playback device organizes songs by artist, album, song, etc. you can pre-package the folders so that it makes sense to the device. Some devices will handle album cover art as well.
  13. So you are wishing us a stinky furnace and a squirrel with a sugar high?
  14. Not enough memory is a common error message when there is actually plenty of memory available. It was often reported in SONAR when people tried to import soundfonts or tagged MP3 files, and removing the tags was the solution--so not a specific error message as to the actual cause of the problem.
  15. Probably better to start a new thread, as this looks like a problem that is not related to the OP. When you say that Windows does not disconnect from the keyboard, what exactly do you mean? When it is working what is its status in device manager? How about when it is not working? If it is not working in two different DAW's , then likely it is either a hardware connection problem (bad dirty or loose connectors, broken cable conductors etc.) or a problem within the physical device itself. Another possibility is that it is a flaky device driver, but the kind of intermittant failure you describe is less likely due to that issue unless there is some kind of software interference that comes and goes. To rule out a problem with Cakewalk, you can try the free MIDIOx to be sure it is sending the correct signals. If you decide to pursue this question here, it would be helpful to know at least what make and model keyboard you are using and how it is connected to your computer and the operating system. In general the more information you provide the better guesses you will get about the cause of the problem.
  16. Permission issues suggest you may not have completely removed other user accounts, or that files or folders created by other user accounts remain under the ownership of a previous account. To check on what Windows thinks are the users try: https://www.nextofwindows.com/the-net-command-line-to-list-local-users-and-groups You can take ownership of locations that you do not currently have access to: https://www.howtogeek.com/301768/how-to-take-ownership-of-files-and-folders-in-windows/ You say you are the administrator, but more likely your account is a member of the administrators group. You can access the true godlike administrator account as follows: https://winbuzzer.com/2020/03/11/windows-10-how-to-enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-xcxwbt/ from that account you have access to pretty much anything that can be done--like the old Windows versions administrator accounts. I have no problem opening the registry editor from any account, so that seems to be an issue with your system uniquely. There are however permissions issues related to registry keys depending on the account used to access it. They can be accessed as follows: https://www.howtogeek.com/262464/how-to-gain-full-permissions-to-edit-protected-registry-keys/
  17. Since Cakewalk is incapable of time travel, the only reasonable explanation for a recorded signal appearing earlier than it sounded in real time is that the recording was time-shifted after it was recorded. This is done deliberately in a process called delay compensation, for the purpose of time-aligning the tracks when it is anticipated that there will be a delay that would cause a track to be ahead of the other tracks otherwise. The usual cause of this "problem" is that one of the plugins used on any track (not just the affected track) introduces a predictable delay/latency due to a look-ahead buffer, and communicates this expected delay to Cakewalk as part of an automatic delay compensation protocol. Try bypassing all effects to see if the issue persists. If it does not, then you may have to manually set a new delay to compensate for the one that is being incorrectly applied. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.22.html
  18. I am a bit confused as to what exactly is being offered and to whom. Is this a free upgrade for existing owners of earlier versions of HitFilm Pro or a de novo free offer to anyone? I assume it must be the former, since activation instruction seems to require an already purchased serial code.
  19. The website apparently allowed me to open and activate an account without requiring a password. Not the best security plan to let someone log on with just an email address. But you can set a password by going to the profile page and clicking modify password.
  20. There are a number of chromatic tuner apps available. That would require that you know the note that is "one fret down" but should not be beyond the grasp even of most guitarists.
