Now Cake won't show the last project I was working on in the recent project pop up during scanning and loading. Is this a "Workspace" thing also???

Welp...I guess I need to be hipped to "Workspace" as I have no clue what that is...although I do see that word in the upper right hand corner. This also probably explains why my default template quit working and I had to go to a regular cwt project file. What's Workspace? (EDIT...I meant, of course "cwp" file)

I have a basic .cwt that is my default setup when starting a new project. But the last 6 months or so most every time I load it up all the midi tracks have been reset from All External Inputs Midi Omni or None to one of the available midi devices in the system. I have to physically change every midi track back to "None" to get them to work again. Why is this happening?? Thanks.

Yup...I think most folks don't know the difference between profiling and modeling. A profile just captures a certain state of the amp/cab where a model is a complete working clone of the original amp/cab. As a profiler...Tonex is quite something. Especially at it's price point. But to me the modelers are much more useful.

Yup...got the pedal as it includes Tonex Max software...which costs the same so it was like a BOGO. At least that what my gearslut self told me.

After the cluster f**ck with Waves and the subscription model I figured I'd wait to WUP everything I have (which is, of course, everything) to the latest version. And, just as I suspected they did a 25% off WUP a few days ago and Koby got me the discount on that so now everything is the latest 14 version. It's been so long since I had WUPed everything that I've forgotten...if all the plugs you have are the latest version can you move or delete all the lower "waveshells"?? Seems like they're just cluttering up the drive and causing Cake to take way longer to scan. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ol pal!

I'm finally getting around to try and figure out IK's Tonex (I have the SE version) and Tone Net's downloadable captures. So far it's not making my putter flutter. I'm a fan of Paul from the Studio Rats on YouTube and IK sent an email out linking to him capturing his Bad Cat Cub with Tonex. The video had a link to Tone Net and instructions for what to search for. But no matter how or where I searched on Tone Net (or Tonex) no such amp existed. Anyone here using Tone Net?? Hip me, will ya!

Ok...I reset it to CC1...And it's listed in Cake's midi devices...Now what??

Let's go way back in time shall we? Late last year I finally replaced my very old but still great Alesis QS8.1 that I was using as my studio keyboard controller with a lighter, better sounding Yamaha digital 88 weighted keys piano (which has the usual keys, organs and strings). It works fine but when I recently purchased a new brass library from 8DIO which utilizes the mod wheel for timbre changes I remembered...Hey...I don't have one of those anymore. Doh. But rummaging around the studio I found and old Korg Nano Kontrol (the original one). I plugged it up and added it to Cake's midi devices, downloaded and installed the Korg editor, set the first knob and slider to CC#0 (which I think is Mod Wheel)...and that where I'm stuck. It's been so long since I've added any kind of controller to Cake I don't remember how to do it. Can someone hip me or point me to where I can git-er-done???

Nolet's Silver Gin. On special occasions. But it's Costco's Kirkland Gin as a daily sip.

Will do Bit...but the weird thing is I've done this scads of times in the past as I've added or subtracted instruments from my template and never had any trouble with it. The only change on this one is that it has EZDrummer 3 instead of Superior 3 and I've also added my newly acquired Kontakt 7 over Kontakt 6. And, again, it's saved as Default.cwt, Normal.cwt and Basic.cwt in three different folders and I've tried setting each location in preferences but no love. Sheesh.

I'm having a devil of a time trying to get Cake to load up my default template (which has my starting line up of instruments & libraries). I've recently revamped it and even though I've saved it as Default, Basic & Normal in both C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates AND D:\Bandlab Templates and have tried pointing Cake to each of those folders in the Folder locations section and instructed Cake to load default template on startup in the "Advanced" dialog in preferences all that happens is a generic "blank" project screen on startup and not my template. I don't recall this being a problem as I've changed out my startup template many times over the years and have never had this problem. So...what am I doing wrong and how do I get my template to load on startup?? Thanks.

Just discovered that my C:\Users\StevePatrick\Documents\IKMultimedia\IKMultimedia Product Manager folder has over 330 gigs in it. It's eating up all the room on my C drive. Can I move this to another drive without screwing the pooch?? Figured one of you geniuses would know. Thanks! PS: Most of the files are zipped files which I assume are download files and backups...can I safely delete these??

My Dear Forumites, I have a friend who has asked me to mix a tune he and his musical partner have done in Garage Band. He was able to export both wav and midi files from GB (although the process is very un-intuitive) and provide them to me. However, the wav files are not recognized by ANY of my audio programs and will not import into SPLAT and the midi files are seen as "damaged". Is it possible to import files from GB and if so...HOW????

Hey Jesse...yup I've installed the new 1.5 sounds and all the old ones as well. Modo won't see any of them. This is not due to IK changing the default directory path in 1.5 but to some other software problem in the new 1.5 version. Many folks are having this issue and the only solution some have found is to unauthorize, uninstall 1.5 and reinstall 1.1.3 I suppose I might take that route, but really this an issue IK needs to fix. And now it's been over two weeks and I haven't heard word one from IK except the automated response to my initial support ticket. Sheesh.

Sorry for posting here but as per usual I figured several of you geniuses might know what the heck is going on. It seems that after the giant group buy thingy from IK where I got everything from them I didn't already have that the new 1.5 version of Modo Drums no longer sees your kits. From my sleuthing it looks like this is happening to many, many folks and to me as well. I've read many of the threads at IK and it seems they still don't have a working fix for the problem they created. Anybody here have this problem and found a way to fix it?? I started a ticket with IK a couple of weeks ago and have not heard a peep out of them yet.

Turns out that somehow all the midi instruments in my startup template got changed to "Digital Piano" Midi Omni. And the P125 needs to have a specific midi channel and it and Cake do not like its omni setting one little bit. I can either set all the instrument channels to be set to "Digital Piano" midi channel one OR just set them all to All External Devices Midi Omni. Which I did. Good Doggie.

Cake sees the piano and it's listed in the midi devices and assigned to the midi tracks of my various instruments but now if I play any notes trying to trigger a synth or drum Cake crashes. Help!!

I've been trying to import a video into Cake for a forensics job and (this has happened before) no matter what format I convert the video into, when it gets into Cake the audio is super chipmunks. I know this is a sample rate mis-match and that the original rate was 1600 (!) but other similar videos import and play just fine. This is a police interrogation session and was sent to me as a .dav file. I've converted it to both MP4 and MV4...no love. I'll also try AVI. But just wondering if the brain trust here in the CH can help me out.

Question... I've got about half of the synths already with my Syntronik 1...I've downloaded all the ones I didn't already have but still have many more freebies left. Are the Syntronik 2 synth versions different or enhanced than the version 1 series? Do I need to go ahead and download the eleventy jillion gigs of the v2 synths to replace my v1 synths???

Hey...I know I'm very late to the party...but I own Syntronik and Syntronik 2 CS...will all these extra synths work in either or both of these??

Yup...and, as per usual, it looks like I posted in the wrong forum. I meant to put this in deals. 🙂

I've got Syntronik and Syntronk 2CS...anybody know if all the IK group buy synths will work with one or both of these???

Thanks much John, ol pal! Turns out it was a sample rate mismatch in the advanced properties dialog. Back to running hot, straight and normal.
