The event list is designed to show more or less raw MIDI data. MIDI notes are numbers. I do not know any way to change that display.

I find pyrolysis to be the most effective method.

Your example identifies the track number as the same as the channel number ie track five (MIDI channel 5). That raises the question of whether this is just your customary channel assignment, or whether you think that each track is automatically assigned to the same number MIDI channel as its track number. It is not. Each track can be assigned a MIDI channel number independent of its track number. So if you were to copy track 5 (MIDI channel 7 say) to track 6 and assign track 6 to MIDI channel 8 say then the two tracks would play on different MIDI channels and you could set up your device to play on the particular MIDI channel being sent from each track. That is what you would normally do if you are controlling a chain of outboard synths or keyboards. Nigel's kludge will work if you are assigning softsynths, but not if you are sending outboard to several devices over the same MIDI cable.

Likely you will get more cogent responses if you give the model number of your keyboard. The behavior suggests that something happened when the computer communicated to the keyboard. Is there a utility of some kind that lets you change settings on your keyboard from the computer?

I got it as a freebie in June 2019. Eh, it's free. I can afford to forget about it again...

When you commit to having the "note" appear aligned with the location of the cartoon keys you are going to have some constraints. I can certainly get used to viewing the vertical alignment of (almost always) less than 88 keys in a piano roll GUI, than I could in following the vertical scrolling of all of the data points along a timeline. That horizontal arrangement of the data points also echoes the standard musical notation that puts higher notes "higher" on the staff. The fact that time moves from the viewer's left to right is also arbitrary, but fits with the decades of left to right following of text ingrained in readers of Western languages and music notation. When you do not have to incorporate a moving display of the notes into the picture you are free to give the user the illusion that he is sitting in front of a keyboard that is (also arbitrarily) constructed with lower notes to his left as is typically done with the keyboards displayed in the GUI's of synths etc.

If the pitch is the same and only the playback speed is doubled then it suggests the wav files are able to change speed in relation to tempo. Are you sure that the wav files are not acidized, groove loops, REX format? It might be that you are importing them into a project with a faster default tempo than the recording. What is the effect of changing the tempo of the project? If it were a sampling rate issue, the frequency would also double, which you should certainly notice.

Gamer computers often do not come with much storage. Most games run from memory and the buyers usually prefer the money be put into a fast processor, memory and outrageous video capability. I have seen gaming laptops with only 256 GB as a solid state drive with no real upgrade options. Audio, and even more so video editing machines, are going to come with much more storage generally. For audio 7200 rpm SATA 3 drives are still adequate especially if divided up as your OP says. Getting the amount of storage you need with SSD may be an unjustifiable expense, although likely the transfer speed is so fast that everything can run from a single drive. If you are up to assembling your own dedicated DAW machine, you can generally save enough money by using a reasonable graphics system to pay for all the storage you need, and you can get a case that has plenty of expansion options.

Surely, a girl sitting on a salami must violate some kind of TOS.

Any groove clips in your audio?

Logically a note cannot be recorded before it was played. What happens is that the recorded note is adjusted along the timeline after it is received. The reason that this is done is so that any latency between the time of the controller actuation to the audible output of the recorded note on playback is NOT recorded--so that the latency due to buffers or processing delay is corrected. This is called delay compensation and when it is automatically applied by an algorithm, automatic delay compensation or ADC. When this occurs without you manually setting it up, it is typically due to a plugin telling CW to expect more latency than is actually occurring. In order to make sure that the timeline is synced for all the tracks, if any latency is reported on any track the compensation is applied globally. So, not a bug but a very useful feature that is not working as intended for you. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.22.html

Thank you rsinger and DrShelder. This is an extraordinary price for this product.

Cleverbridge is used by a lot of software companies for distribution, but also has a pretty busy page on the Better Business Bureau site. The usual problem with cheap versions of Microsoft software is that it is either cracked outright or is an OEM/Volume license that is being sold in violation of the original license. This is being advertised as "the official retail version of Windows 10 Professional." That seems doubtful given the price. It will doubtless activate and run on your machine, but if you are worried about moving it to a new MB or machine, it is probably wise to check. Would anyone who has activated using the Product Code supplied by Cleverbridge please perform the validation test described here, and report the results? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-check-windows-10-product-key-is-genuine-or/04089c52-f1b3-4661-9904-81a570286ec5

The free update to Windows 10 should upgrade to the version that you have already installed or for which you have a Product Key. So if you are upgrading from Win7 Home, for example to Win 10, you can only get a free Win10 Home upgrade. A paid upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Win10 Pro is typically $99.00 from Microsoft. You can upgrade from a currently installed Win10 Home to Win10 Pro on a machine by entering the Pro Product Key in the appropriate location. https://www.lifewire.com/upgrade-windows-10-home-to-pro-4178259

So apparently Apple had decided to move away from Intel, and all that that entails. For that small group who have been using Cakewalk and other native Windows applications on Apple hardware this is an issue, but maybe even more so for those who have invested $$$$$ in amassing an Apple studio if everything needs to be re-coded in order to be upgraded in the future. The demands of real time audio may make some kind of translator or virtual machine to graft old Apple onto future Apple impractical.

I understand your reluctance to reinstall Windows, but I doubt you can rely on the fact that your Windows installation used to work fine to rule out any Windows issue. A possible kludge that might work with less extreme effort would be to create a new user account and try to do a fresh install of Bandlab on that account. Another would be to image your existing installation then do a repair install over the original. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

The price listed at that link site is $22. 00. Do you have some kind of credit or coupon code that is giving you that price? Never mind...Just like you said price of $11.00 magically appears in the cart.

Did I miss a port of Cakewalk to the Mac?

Before I would replace the liquid cooler I would try testing it. The most common not fan related problem, aside from all the fluid leaking out which should be obvious from minor flooding in the vicinity, would be an air/vapor lock in the system. Bleeding off the air would fix that--the computer cooling equivalent of bleeding your brakes. If you have an air cooler lying around, you might see if that will work. If it works better than the liquid cooler that would certainly suggest the liquid unit is screwed up.

The driver rollback is a Windows process, and would be expected to only affect the driver--it does not affect applications directly. You could be a lot more precise about whether it might help if you knew the current driver was not correct or if you knew the current version of Windows. Unfortunately when you allow Windows Update to update your Windows installation, it does not invariably bring it up all the way to the then current version. Some updates depend on an earlier version already having been installed, and unless you repeatedly run updates you often end up at some intermediate version especially if it has been a while since the last update. I realize that it can be difficult to provide any granular level of help to a naive user by telephone--so the advice may not be anything you can use. Besides, I have no confidence that your problem has been correctly diagnosed at this point.

If your friend can get connected, it would probably be best to update Win 10 to the current version. The problem described in my first link above (which may or may not be your problem) was specific to version 1703 and was fixed by subsequent updates. The driver rollback, if it is available, should not require and internet connection.

Of course we have no idea how much your other programs stress the CPU. It would not be surprising that Cakewalk provides an exceptional load compared to normal usage. It is also not clear what the significance of your computer being liquid cooled is, in a case where you are concerned that it is overheating. A liquid cooler can fail just like an air driving fan, but it is simpler to detect fan failure than other issues. Have you dismantled the system to see if it has coolant left, or run it outside the computer with a fluid source to check that it is pumping, or checked the thermal connection to the cpu and adequacy of the thermal paste? If you are having a cooling problem it is probably best to start with troubleshooting the cooling system rather than imagining that some update in a program is producing a large demand change.

It might even be possible to just roll back the driver: To roll back your audio driver In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, then select it from the results. Select the arrow next to Sound, video and game controllers to expand it. Right-click the listing for your sound card or audio device, then select Properties. Select the Driver tab, then select Roll Back Driver. Read and follow the instructions and then select Yes if you want to roll back your audio driver.
