For last and this update I have been getting these Type 0 dropouts .. at this stage I am getting these with my older Cakewalk project files. Only time I dont get these dropouts is with brand new file, though I have not tested that enough yet. The error I get as file loads is below, consistently. Plus it takes a while to load the files, longer than I would expect. System is Core i5, 16GB Ram, 1TB HD sata. And if they play, they do so with crackles eventually crashing with this dropout error 0 again. So I decided to try something. I have an AUDIENT EVO 4 audio I/F ( latest Drivers ). I decided to switch the AUDIO in CW Prefs to WASAPI so I could change over to the built in Realtek soundcard. BODA BING ... not alone did any of the "trouble" files load up without this dropout error, they also loaded super fast, no crackles. So do i have to conclude that CW doesnt like the AUDIENT EVO 4 ASIO Driver? I just also tested the following .. I switched the AUDIENT over to WASAPI and once again BODA BING .. all seems to be well, fast file load, no crackles, no dropouts .. so far Seems to be ( in my case ) the Audient Asio driver is the issue???

So keep your X3 installed alongside so as to have access to the extras that came with that at the time. CbB install then picks up all the extra instruments etc installed by X3. Leave X3 installed .. doesnt take up much room, you wont be using it, just there to give you access in CbB to the stuff you got with X3 that was not be licenced by or wasnt bought out by Bandlab in 2018. BUT you still own legit because you bought X3 at pre that time and have a right to use still

How is it up against the UJAM stuff?

Hi @Noel Borthwick ... I would need to recreate but Im sure it was 1. As i think I solved it by replacing one of the 2 incidents of Cherry Audio DCO-106 with an Arturia 2600 VSTi playing the same line. So as mentioned by @chris.r it looks like its a DCO issue rather than CW? However out of interest I will try 2 separate DCO incidents in Ableton and Reason, see if same issues. For the giggle by all means download the Cherry Audio DCO106 demo and try it and see? https://cherryaudio.com/instruments/dco-106 It seems to be related to this in DCO106 actually. The number of voices, so happens for certain patches: When DCO tracks frozen still glitches a bit the odd time, but would need to solidly verify that. OK, I deleted the 2 incidences of the DCO from the track, glitch free ( when i say glitch I mean track while playing would crackle and/or momentarily lag, start/stop while playing with other tracks )

After much investigation I have narrowed down my issue to this. Take lanes causing Audio engine drop out. I have a small few tracks though. 2 Audio tracks with wav loops and then 2 tracks with Cherry Audio DCO-106 VSTi synth, ONE of the DCO-106 tracks has 2 take lanes with midi. If I play the track soloed, after 2 loop arounds the audio engine drops, while playing its glitching. If I delete the 2 take lanes, rest of project plays seamlessly. I have an AUDIENT EVO 4 I/F .. latest drivers and firmware. I have increased the ASIO Buffer size to 2048, still glitching but not dropping out. Its a core i5 Dell Inspiron with 16GB ram, nvidia card with own memory, 2TB Hybrid Drive. Any ideas? EDIT .. Im beginning to wonder is it a Cherry Audio issue. I just moved the track contents inc take lanes over to an Arturia 2600 V3 track, no problems here, no dropouts, no glitchy sounds. On the DCO I was using the TAKE ME ON patch. I have another DCO track using AMBIENT KEYS patch. Once I moved the errant track from the DCO to the 2600, all other tracks play fine at 512 buffer size SO maybe its the PATCH & a setting there in??

@David Grammerstorf I am encountering the same issue on my Core i5 laptop ( 16gb ram, nvidia card, 2tb hybrid drive ). My audio I/F is a new Audient EVO 4. I cannot play through a whole track without hearing distorted sounds, drop outs ( Audio Engine Dropout 18 ) even if I solo each track. Like you I have the latest updated drivers for evo, messed around with both sample rate and asio buffer sizes. No avail, same problem. I posted about this here a few weeks back, no real solution. I do reckon it seems to be under the latest CW update that this is happening. I am going to try the same vstis in Ableton and Reason now just to see if I get similar BUT I think I did that previously and it seems to be definitely particular to CW. I am using a wav bass drum audio track + 3 Cherry Audio DCO-106 synth track lines. I am now at a point that I cannot work with CW .. Actually can you downgrade CW to previous version?

I assume being modelled the Arturia is alot more editable/tweakable?

As far as I know Arturia are actual coded Synth VSTi's and not relying on samples which the Syntronik does, a rompler?

Of course what some SOFTWARE companies could do and ARE doing is opening an EU office in the EU. Many are doing so in Dublin across the Irish Sea. Plus on mainland Europe.

And now add this just breaking: So we could now have UK after Jan 1st trading with the EU on WTO rules until deal ratified in March .. So definitely that now means Tarrifs and Excise tween the 2 because WTO insists on this across all members and all members will insist, thems the WTO rulez .. ironically one for all and all for one, so much for taking back control and pure sovereignty

Spend before 11pm GMT ( 12 midnight CET ) on 31st December 2020 and you should be fine, and then only on immediately downloadable purchase, not something that needs shipping

Its not just tax regimes, its also way more paperwork adding to the product price of outgoing/incoming stuff. So buying online from UK biz could cost you extra excise and so on as UK from Jan 1st is a Third country where EU is concerned. TBH that deal is so thin .. Boris and Co for internal consumption are pushing it as biggest thing since sliced pan because they have to and spinning it accordingly, dont believe the hype. And another thing to seriously watch out for. Back around 2017 Theresa May at a big Checkers meet of her cabinet decided to NOT INCLUDE SERVICES in any deal with EU. She only included tangible goods trade type thing. The UK economy is 80% SERVICES and 20% Goods Trade, so the latter was the sacrificial lamb so to speak. The deal as of Jan 1st has no agreement ( only aspirations of future talks ) on how SERVICES will work between UK and EU, and in this regard all the cards are with the EU until a deal is struck on services. This thin Brexit deal is not really good for anyone. Im in Rep of Ireland ( which has part of UK on this Island - Northern Ireland ), we know this, lots of pain on the way even with a thin Brexit deal come Jan 1st. And as for Services eg City of London, financial, legal etc .. who knows

OK that did not work either. What it might be is the EMAIL SERVER they have is slow sending the email. I click "its my first purchase".

So here is what I do. I add to cart then it goes to cart, fill in email address and agree to t&c's, then click on Buy & Download ... but in my case it stays at that page, goes no further. I am using firefox .. will try chrome instead

Went to cart with the lot .. filled in detail as required .. Pressed BUY & DOWNLOAD .. goes no further Seems you have to pay for a membership to go any further, then they are free

Not sure if you have tried LOOPCLOUD yet and its plugin inside Cakewalk. Basically with loopcloud app open it links with CW so while playing a project in CW you can load samples from the LC cloud to audition along with your CW project without downloading them UNTIL you have the right one. The Loopcloud App UI also organises all your loops to type, BPM etc. With loopcloud plan you get 50GB of free space but can upgrade in size. This allows you to upload your own samples also into the loopcloud and treat them like above. Thats why I like the cloud idea ...

https://www.soundspot.audio/madvent-2020/ EVERYTHING seems to have been knocked down by 90%

In my case mostly FREE stuff I picked up over the years. Interestingly I also have huge batch of old CDs from defunct music mags from the 90s on with lots of samples on those also. Very unique in fact as most of those samples were of the time and would not be available these days.

Just looking into Cloud storage in general vs USB Drives .. the latter can fail. I notice services like iDRIVE have 5TB per annum at less than $100 PA. I also have the 1TB with my Office 365, but onedrive is more a syncing service. A reason i am thinking to have such a service is not alone a place to backup CW project files and samples to the cloud BUT also maybe a place to store KONTAKT instruments etc and also maybe plugins like IK Multimedia stuff which has time limits on when you can download them. Also to store copy of VSTs in general. All this so as to cover an evetuallity that your drives/systems go down. Yip iDRIVE has a drive imaging feature, but in my case I use CW on 2 seperate systems but both have same Kontakt stuff, vsts etc So any other services people using? Carbonite, Sugarsync, Box, Amazon Drive etc ON SAMPLES - At the moment I have all my samples - lots of them - out on a USB Drive. I also subscribe to LOOPCLOUD so have gotten used to the idea and like the idea of Loops in the cloud where they can be auditioned there and only brought down to system into a project when needed. With the loopcloud plan you get 50GB storage included. My drive has approx 400GB of samples So just wondering are others here using cloud storage for samples and is there other services aside from loopcloud for this? Of course problem with amassing samples is its ENDLESS

Yip .. just logged in, went to my account and up top left is DOWNLOAD YOUR XMAS FREEBIE. I havent bought off them for ages

I added this and had a look. Its initial UI is sparse but then there is the SETTINGS TAB. But that doesnt seem to have any control for what appears to be delays, chorus and reverb I think I am hearing in some of the presets

UDEMY ..

WHAT is this

@mettelus Yes I also have all the Reallusion stuff inc Iclone and Cartoon Animator 4. Only issue with reallusion stuff is alot of its functionality is geared toward there own content .. trying to get you to buy. MOHO s a truer 2D animation application and is around alot longer than Reallusion stuff. And does not depend on trying to flog you content. yes i use Blender, have done so for years .. along with Lightwave, Realsoft 3D, MODO, Truespace back in the day and ZBrush and VUE

Posted this here at CW .. i reckon as well as being muso's some of you guys, like me might be into 2D and 3D animation / Graphics https://www.mohoanimation.com/ http://www.lostmarble.com/ We are very excited to announce that the Moho 2D animation software has been acquired by Lost Marble LLC, the company founded by Mike Clifton, the original creator of Moho, and Victor Paredes, Supervisor of Moho animation at Cartoon Saloon and former Moho Product Manager. Great news this, it has been withering on the vine at Smith Micro. I think we here as CW users can empatise with this The CARTOON SALOON is a fantastic animation company based in Kilkenny, Ireland https://www.cartoonsaloon.ie/ I am a user of this since the Lost Marble days, great to see its back to Lost Marble again
