    I actually prefer the way Cakewalk handles Type 0 MIDI files.  Maybe a setting in the TTSEQ.INI file to do what you are asking.

    FWIW, maybe put in a feature request, you can do so here:

    https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

    Note: Even though CbB is no being developed and no new features are being added, the Bakers might still look in here for candidates to add to the new Sonar.

    Until then, simply convert to type 1.

    I'm not familiar with converting a midi file.  Is this easy to do?

  2. I posted about my issue back in 2022 and no one responded. It makes me wonder if no one is using Goran Grooves midi files with Cakewalk.

    Here's the issue:  When I drag and drop a Goran Grooves type 0 or type 1 midi file into a track, the file splits into multiple midi files - which is a

    confusing mess.  I contacted both Goran Grooves and Cakewalk back in 2022 and received some encouragement that Cakewalk was working on a solution.

    In more recent communication, it appears to have slipped through the cracks.

    If anyone is using Goran Grooves midi files successfully with Cakewalk - Please let me know your secret. 😁

  3. My Epson printer just added a new utility (for me) that checks the printer connection.

    Cakewalk VST scan now hangs while scanning ENSF.dll

    I've searched the Plug-in manager for this file with no luck.

    I don't know why Cakewalk is even looking at this Epson Utility.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    They want me to pay $599CA (That's $199.75 off!) to upgrade Music Production Suite...

    That's not ever happening.

    I really like Ozone, etc.

    I normally upgrade my Izotope products with each update. I'm not sure I will this time. 

    The pricing structure seems a little confusing this time around - and pricey.

    I will wait to see what discounts the holiday season brings.

  5. Very nice!

    Really enjoyed every bit of this tune.

    All of the parts are so tight and well-integrated.    The arrangement and production are top drawer. 

    The only thing missing is more information on who is playing what.  😁

    Well done!

  6. First off - this is a cool song!  I think you should definitely continue to refine and improve the parts.

    Nice vocal performance and overall arrangement is interesting.

    I agree with the previous comments already expressed on the drums.  They do seem a little lacking.  It all comes

    down to personal taste (of course) but I would look for samples that sound a little more nuanced and "Real".

    I also agree that the lyrics could use more work.  They seem quite generic and could a more personal approach.

    This is a great start.  In writing, almost all writers write a first draft to get ideas down.  The real work starts with

    the 2nd draft, 3rd draft, etc.  --  where ideas are refined and changes are made.  These revisions happen many times before most authors

    are happy with the finished product.  Keep Going!

  7. I just purchased Goran Grooves Handy Drums and some midi files.

    The drum plugin has some nicely produced drum sounds and seems pretty straight forward.

    I also purchased some midi files from Goran and here's where I'm having a problem.  The midi files are

    available for download in both Type 0 and Type 1.  I have downloaded and tried to import both into

    a midi track. 

     The type 0 midi file adds 9 separate midi tracks  -- 8 of them are empty and one has midi data.  

    the type 1 midi file adds adds 4 separate midi tracks - two have data and two are empty.

     

    The help screen on the Goran website mentions this issue with Cakewalk:

     

    Meet Bandlab’s Cakewalk DAW. This is the clarification we received from their development team:


    “Opening a MIDI file of type 0 will always split each channel into separate tracks. This is because back when hardware MIDI file players were popular, a lot of them only supported type 0, but users wanted to be able to edit them easily by having the tracks split out. Saving as type 0 would combine them again.


    However, if you drag a MIDI file of type 0 into an existing project, it’ll keep it as a single clip. So the solution is always to drag/drop MIDI files of type 0 into your project if you want to keep it as a single track.“


    While some DAWs add multiple empty tracks when faced with type 0 MIDI, others do it with type 1 MIDI.

     

    Neither of these solutions work for me at present.

    Question:  Has anybody else here run into this issue?  

    I can import my other sources of drum midi files into the Goran Drum Plugin with no issues.  So, I think the issue is with

    the Goran Midi files.  I will be contacting Goran support with this too, but wanted to see if anyone knows about some setting

    in Cakewalk ( or something else) that would solve this.

  8. Just an FYI - 😁

    Out of the blue, I suddenly couldn't open one of my older projects.  It would crash my system with the following error message:

    I contacted support at IK Multimedia and they suggested I reload the Amplitube Software.

    That did the trick!  I'm not sure what happened to require this, but I'm happy with the results.

  9. The essential tune is quite nice.  I like the vocals and the groove.  As others have mentioned, there is some tweaking needed to take

    care of some out of time rhythms.   Is it possible that you have a long delay set on a percussion part?  Please repost when you get that dialed!

    Excellent  -- laid back, no urgency, mellow and some great playing.  Love the sound of that lead guitar.  Sometimes it is nice to hear just the guitar without massive amounts of Fx.

    Well done!

    Thank You!
