If you're having a sale, either nobody is buying or too many are buying. Guess which is the one in this case.

Are these updates to make sure the plugins work on M1 Macs...I wonder.

You have pretty decent monitors already. You just need to improve your room.

I'd go so far to say that I've never seen any of those people that talk about ARC, Sonarworks and such demonstrate the product in a completely untreated room. I wonder why? Is it because it wouldn't solve the problem? I remember when KRK came up with a similar product and was heavily criticized for it. Maybe because they were honest about it.

Here's the best video that demonstrates the difference acoustic treatment can make.

Kilohearts One is another to consider.

Either Monark or go for the modular blocks in Reaktor. Modular might seem a word choice at first, but it's the same thing as the others. The difference is that the others are pre connected or "normalized".

In that case, check your cables and connections. Something could be causing the device to be disconnected. Maybe try a different port.

If you already plugged the mic, you have to uninstall the microphone and its drivers via Device Manager, install the Blue drivers, then plug the mic in. Windows will always default to its own signed drivers, even if you install another driver for the thing.

The plugin has to be manually set as a Synth on the plugin manager in CbB as Cakewalk thinks it's just an effect plugin. The plugin does effects as well, but it's still a synth.

Despite using NI for yonks, I don't think I've ever bothered to even check if they had a forum? It would appear I was not missing anything . NI completely dropping products is odd. Considering they are purveyors of quantity over quality and all. But knowing people like the sounds of those dropped items, they could at least stick the sounds in the Kontakt factory library.

But that was the problem with B4 specifically. People that wanted a Hammond emulation only. And what NI did? They made it a Kontakt library. So, not only people who owned B4 were left in the dust, now their organ emulation would cost them 400 extra.

I do have some Kontakt stuff myself, but it's such a pain that I'm only using NI if I'm given Komplete or something like that.

Do you happen to have a AMD cpu by any chance? I had similar issues with my H1n and the support people told me the drivers are not compatible with AMD CPUs.

Windows has the nasty habit of setting every new audio interface it finds as the default device. This can cause the error you are experiencing.

Unfortunately the Groove synth, which I have via sonar 8.5, crashes my system, just like TTS-1 does. I thought about getting the RSC, but opted instead for the Air Expand synth. What I really wish I could use is NI's Bandstand, which I have, but will not authorize any longer, since NI has abandoned it.  It's annoying that GM/GS midi sets, which used to be essentially free (my old Ensoniq soundcard had an excellent built-in one, which is what I used for years in the old days); are now scarce and expensive. Last I knew, RSC was about 150.00. that's overpriced for just a midi set. Unfortunately this is the current state of things. 

Did you try the Sonar Platinum one?

Well, remember that you have to open preferences to change your project settings and many other options land you there as well. CbB is full of several buttons that lead you to the preferences menu.

Yeah, it's based on UAD software, but from what I know it allows third party AUs, too. I have no doubt a Win version would bring in VSTs, as well.

It doesn't look very basic, I've read the description. Jaquire King said he switched to Luna, from Pro Tools, and he was happy about the choice. He said there was still stuff to be implemented, but that's still the case with Pro Tools, to this day. On the other hand, Luna is just starting, not decades old, so for an infancy period that's understandable. But they look like they're moving fast. My personal impression is they aim to become a standard, just like Sequoia does - although on a different market - or like Cubase did.

I like how it looks, I like the directly workable mixer interface, I like the diversity of the included options and the analog emulation direction. And UAD have a reputation for good sound, so that part looks good, too. The next thing is for it to be reliable and intuitive, workflow wise.

Without trying it myself, it's hard to say. Since I don't own any UAD device, it's not going to happen. That's a very expensive dongle.

I think this is a fantastic GM synth and I wish that this can be made easily available as an add-on for CWbBL. Perhaps updated to be capable of more than one output per instance?

Platinum came with the Roland Groove Synth, which is sort of similar.

That happens even if you have the settings saved as a Cakewalk preset?

True enough, but I think you missed my point. Fender stamps “patent pending” on a number of reproductions of older instruments or even derivations of older instruments because the older instrument itself had a “patent pending” label on it— not because the patent is still pending. In the case of Gibson, the term “PAF”refers to what is widely considered to be the holy grail of humbucking pickups because that original pickup had PAF stamped on it. Gibson (and even other manufacturers) have liberally used the term since to advertise that a particular pickup (supposedly) sounds like  and/or used similar manufacturing techniques to the pickup that originally had that stamp on it.

I see. If I'm not mistaken, schematics cannot be patented. That leaves Mike Fuller a bit annoyed, since he's been trying to patent the OCD for years without success.

I have Cubase LE and I think it's only on the CD ROM that it came in. If you want, i could burn the img. you need your own serial # though

Thanks for the offer, but I was PMed a link to the iso by a Steinberg forum mod already.

Who are any of us mere mortals to question the omnipotence of those whom bestow upon us the great teachings of "yeet" and "skrra"???

If I'm not mistaken, there are no NI forums anymore. I presume because NI is tired of dealing with criticism after the limitations they imposed on certain products, discontinuing popular products like B4, Kore and so on.

And what Bass plugin are you using now?

I play the bass parts on guitar then transpose them 1 octave down. That has served well until I can buy a bass guitar for myself.

Could you please tell me - how did you fix the random note problem in MB?

I didn't. I stopped using MODO Bass.

nope - it's the full installers  AND updaters- disk images the whole lot.....

https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/unsupported_products/cubase/downloads_c4.html

That's for Cubase 4, not LE 4. They're not the same installer like you have on the new AI/LE/Elements versions. The LE installter they give you is a 1.2 GB ISO for version 4.1.2.

Thanks, I have made another project and put CC 64 on 0 value, but the problem was not fixed. Some notes are not played, and some play uncontrolled. In Piano Roll is everything clean.

I will try to reinstall Modo Bass Plugin and see if it helps...

The CC64 issue is not related to the random note problem, which I also had. The CC64 issue is a deal breaker for me and I won't use MODO Bass until they fix it.

all that stuff is on the website:

https://www.steinberg.net/index.php?id=14790&L=1

even older stuff is on the FTP site:

ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/

considering C4 LE came out in 2006 I don't think that's too bad and I'm not sure what else they can do ?

 

The stuff that's on their website in regards to Cubase LE 4 and other older versions are just updates. I looked at those places before. I installed it just for fun. I have LE 10.5, which records less tracks than LE 4 (ironically).

Adding to that.

- The current browser needs to be more flexible. You can't type search by manufacturer, plugin type, plugin category, etc.
