I had Syntronik Standard on my system. With JAM points I have upgraded to the DELUXE Edition for princely sum of €20. So anyone here have any idea about UPGRADING the already installed Syntronik Standard to Deluxe? Once I load IK Prod manager and register the serial i do get option in the SOUNDS tab to INSTALL Deluxe. So am I better off uninstalling Standard and just install DELUXE OR can I unpgrade the already installed Standard to deluxe some how?

Yip but after that you can use away offline except for when you update these plugins. Thats done by opening the standalone version while online.

He very fond of RICKENBACKERS ... mainly ..

This 3 hr 2011 RUSH LIVE concert on SKY ARTS is just .. speechless ... I wish I had vol 11 on my TV ... air guitar is out BTW SKY ARTS is also on FREE TO AIR Channel 147

The "RUSH Time Machine Live in Clevedon 2011" show was on SKY ARTS last weekend. ( It is on YOUTUBE ). It was shown around the aniversary of Neil Pearts death last year ( RUSH DRUMMER ) : My favourite band - RUSH My favourite Guitar Player - ALEX LIFESON My favourite album - EXIT STAGE LEFT RIP Neil Peart .. gone too soon at 67. This is the first interview the band did since his death a year ago .. ROLLING STONE this jan https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/neil-peart-rush-dead-cover-story-1110496/

@Matthew Sorrels Is there any way to disable ACID from scanning VSTs at startup?

Acid music studio 11 and pro 10 both support MIDI. Just right click and add MIDI Track as is case with CW.

I have ACID Pro 8 and up to Acid Studio 11. Its installed bt not really used. Had a quick look tonight. It does have the audio and midi tracks etc. Pretty much a regular DAW. But Why would one use it, over Cakewalk for example? What would it do better? whats its USP?

Like OFFICE 365 .. for monthly sub you get the whole suite of apps - word, excel, powerpoint, access, outlook, publisher, onedrive 1TB and load of other cloud apps. Rather than MS charging you for each individual prog you pay a monthly fee for the lot. With MS the adv is you will always get the latest version as long as you keep the sub up, no more having to repurchase the 2022 or 2025 or or versions of office, all included with the sub. I assume REASON doing the same, as long as you keep up the 19.99PM sub you will get everything and always the newest versions plus probably all new stuff they add over time

I think the sub is the complete kitchen sink, everything inc all instruments, effects etc .. not sure everyone has ALL? thats the impression i get anyway

@Mr. Torture I had vaguely similar issues with my Audient EVO 4... seems it was driver related. BUT maybe the solution outlined setting the windows Sound Playback default format to the same sample rate as CW

Heres hoping @Noel Borthwick ... The driver they gave me is quiet basic, I imagine more featured ver will turn up on release. I tested it on my Laptop too tonight .. works fine also.

Ok @Noel Borthwick .. Im just replying here so all can see .. I just tried out this new ( not released as of yet ) Audient ASIO Driver that was sent to me by AUDIENT earlier. As per our remote session last monday, to work around the issue at hand, you had changed the DEFAULT FORMAT ( in windows SOUND SETTINGS playback driver properties ) to 44,100 Hz to coincide with the same setting in CW for the projects. meaning temp wise, if any tracks in CW were at say 48000 or 96000 then this manual trick would need to be applied each time. With the new driver installed I deliberately changed the DEFAULT FORMAT to 96,000 Hz as you can see in the image below & also DEFAULTED the EVO 4 for Windows rather than the built in REALTEK . I then loaded CW and loaded a few of the projects we were testing with. ALL PLAYED FINE, no more drop outs. It does look like they have resolved the issue with this driver. I will try the same thing on my LAPTOP later on and see if result is the same. As an aside I also noted that in CW prefs / Playback & Recording, with ASIO set as Driver Mode, it was also listing the FL Asio Driver. In fact when I launched CW it gave me an error about that FL Asio Driver .. I simply removed the FL Asio Driver in Programs and Features. Error gone. I have no doubt better off with that gone anyway, stick with the AUDIENT ASIO driver in all apps

Fair enough BUT for most hobbiests RME stuff is significantly more expensive than others - ST£850 + for an interface https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=rme&crid=1SDOGCUT4JY87&sprefix=rme%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-a-p_2_3 Maybe if you are making money out of your music like commercial recording etc then OK ..

Yip. Big multi function rotary knob top of EVO also with 5 function buttons controlled by it. The back has the 2 XLR/Full Jack inputs in the middle and 2 full jack out puts for speakers etc. And yes one Headphone jack at front but as i am through my sony stereo amp with source direct feature that gives me the 2nd Headphone Jack if needed I like its size though - about 3.5" across, 1.5" back to front, 1.5" height ( approx ). Easy to move around, solid feel to it, though plastic. Taking it out and about good too because everything except for that big rotary knob on top is flush, but even that is solid, so wont catch off anything in a bag. I move it from my Desktop to my laptop and back daily.

@chris.r I wouldnt let this "hiccup" turn you off the EVO 4. As a guitar player particularly, same goes for BASS and any other stringed instrument .. the full jack JFET DI interface is the job, plus as you said the very low roundtrip latency possible. As noel outlines above in the meantime there is a workaround that isnt too stressful https://evo.audio/products/evo-4/features/

https://audient.com/ https://evo.audio/products/evo-4/features/ https://evo.audio/products/ https://audient.com/products/audio-interfaces/id4/overview/ Hi guys, I HAVE STARTED THIS THREAD AS I NOTE A FEW HERE ( AND ON FACEBOOK CW GROUPS ) EITHER HAVE OR ARE CONSIDERING GETTING AUDIENT INTERFACES LIKE MENTIONED IN TITLE TO WORK WITH CAKEWALK. DO NOT LET THIS PUT YOU OFF THESE INTERFACES ( there is a workaround detailed in Noels response below in the meantime ) During the early access program thread ( now closed ) for the 2021.01 update I brought up an issue i was having with my new AUDIENT EVO 4 Interface, the ASIO DRIVER, which was producing Dropouts ( Error 0 ) when ever I used it to the point the minute a project was loaded I would get dropouts and even hangs. SO @Noel Borthwick kindly liased resulting in a remote session and concluded the issue was definitely the AUDIENT ASIO Driver and the way it was written, IT IS NOT A CAKEWALK ISSUE. Here is Noels thoughts: I have been back and forward with AUDIENT about this ( CCing Noel ) and they have now sent me a BETA new driver to try saying: "Our software team have released a new driver version, V4.1.10, which should alleviate problems with poor performance in some DAWS" So I will try this and report back. I noted the driver link is to an ID4 driver, I have asked them does this matter as I dont have an ID4, I have an EVO 4. However I just tried this and it seems to work but thats only from a quick test, will get more comprehensive when i have time later on ( its 11am here in Ireland, so work ) PS - The Evo 4 works fine using WASAPI and other Driver modes. ASIO is the issue and the driver

@Wibbles Did you see there new specialist DJ packs they have added: https://sounds.loopcloud.com/products?user=true&shop=true&wave=true&tags[]=cafbc9c1-5a00-4067-8f17-a9d9c251123c&page=1&utm_campaign=253638_LC Carl Cox 24%2F01%2F21&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Newsletter&dm_i=6D38,5FPI,165VYF,MUGM,1 Just bought the Carl Cox one. https://sounds.loopcloud.com/product/3862-Carl-Cox-Collective-My-Life-In-Music As I said I had 4000+ points so cost me nothing .. sort of

Fraid not .. Just spotted it as a way of getting Carbon Electra and getting another synth into the bargain. Lots of expansions so better value again. Possibly worth a punt for both for princely sum of $16

There is this as something to get and then Carbon electra FREE along with it: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/58-Inst-Bundle/7218-ImPerfect-Expansions-Bundle ImPerfect & Expansions Bundle - $16 "You can now get ImPerfect along with all expansion packs, giving you ImPerfect with a huge amount of brand new additional presets, in one unique package."

Sorry for that @Wibbles .. But hey its a good addiction if you make the most of it and get the 26 free samples everyday. You will build up a nice library AND the advantage is all are stored in your Cloud Library in the LC App and dont need to be downloaded to CW until they audition/work with a track. Plus if you go with a plan you build up a heck of alot of points every month that can used to buy more sample packs. All stored in the cloud after purchase. Dont forget with plans you also get 50GB+ of space in your library to upload your own samples and free up space on your HD.

Voucher Code - HOLIDAYGIFT2020 still works AND if one was to buy items separately rather than together one gets the full discount per individual item. Not sure how long this will last .. bought 4 items separately tonight

So who is going to be first to jump on this

Yip .. I am seeing quiet a few Client older systems with Windows 10 20H2 issues .. My own Dell i5 Inspiron 17" laptop is in this boat. I attempted once to upgrade to Windows 10 20H2, ended up with the bluescreen repair stuff on reboot .. had to revert back to the previous 2004 and left it at that since. I will not upgrade to Windows 10 20H2 until forced to do so. It is still as an OPTION to install in the Windows Update window, I will not be taking that option for the moment
