Steve, try making a track template for VA-3 and see if that works also. That way you can just insert the track template as desired. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Steve, I am wondering if you were to make a project template based on one of your earlier projects in which VA-3 is working, would it load correctly? If it works then at least you have a workaround until this issue is resolved. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Akira, Make sure that you do not have a lock on the clip. If there is a lock on the clip you should see a lock icon in the upper left of the clip in the Track View. There are two types of locks on clips, position and data. It could be that a data lock is protecting the clip/data from your desired change(s). To release a lock, right click on the clip and go to Clip Lock and uncheck Lock Data. Kind regards, tecknot

Yeah, Tobias, try the Matrix View as rsinger suggested. You can set it to playback each clip at different time intervals or immediately. Sounds like it would do what you're looking for. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Hendirk, There is a setting under Preferences | Customization | Editing that's at the top "Copy Entire Clips as Linked Clips" which is, I believe, checked by default. I set mine unchecked so that I don't get clips linked together. So, the SS clips can be repeated by stretching/rolling to the right and that's working for you now. Hum, must be something that didn't allow it to work in the first place. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Hendrik, I haven't used the step sequencer for quite a while, but I haven't been able to recreate your issue. I'm going to keep messing around with it and the groove looping to see what happens. Kind regards, tecknot

I would go to the Steinberg website for an answer on this one. Presumably, just one is all you need to store your licenses. Kind regards, tecknot

In order to have your SS clip to repeat when rolled out to the right, you have to convert it to a groove clip (Ctr+L). Kind regards, tecknot

uh, have you installed the driver(s)? Had to ask. Kind regards, tecknot

Just to clarify something important, your interface is your "realtek high definition audio" sound card. Make sure that your interface/sound card's sample rate and bit depth match that in Cakewalk's driver settings (Preferences | Driver Settings: Audio Driver Bit Depth (16 or 24, etc.) and Sample rate (e.g. 44.1k, 48k, etc.)), as well as the Playback Timing Master set to your Realtek sound card. You may have to change your Driver Mode (under Playback and Recording) after you figure out the above. Check those settings and get back to us with your results. Kind regards, tecknot

Thanks for the info. abacab. User905133 - this problem is at the installation level. The install does not see Rapture (installed) on my C drive. Kind regards, tecknot

Yeah, I wish I could get them installed, but so far no luck. I even tried reinstalling Rapture (64 and 32bit), but that didn't help either. Looks like I'll have to forego the expansion packs. Bummer!:( Kind regards, tecknot

Someone mentioned "unfinished project," well it seems that can be said for just about anything in Cakewalk. ACT is a big example. I would like to see it fully developed, no, revamped so that it has greater more dependable control integration. Matrix View needs attention, Staff View really needs a lot of work, etc. I think BandLab should take a look at each feature/component and improve upon them one at a time. And take a break from adding new features for a while, until the existing features have been improved. I wouldn't mind that. Make them robust and fully functional. Not that Cakewalk is not workable, but it doesn't take much to reach its limitations in a number of cases. It still feels a little fragile each time I work with it. Like just one more move will irreversibly corrupt my project. I could make a complete list things, but I would have to give it more thought. Kind regards, tecknot

Thanks for the response, scook. I am working with the Cakewalk packs 1 and 2 which are the separate installers first released. Nonetheless, I forgot about the registry change I made so maybe that's where I need to revert back. I also forgot about your suggestion to using directory junctions. I can still make that change. Much appreciated, tecknot

Hi all, I recently up graded my laptop with a second SSD. I then moved samples over to the new drive. Then I realized I did not have the Rapture expansion packs installed. However, when attempting to install the xpacks I got an error message stating that Rapture was not installed and that I must have Rapture installed before I install the xpacks. I tried inserting a new Multisamples folder (left empty) in the Rapture path, but that didn't work. I also tried to install the packs as administrator, but that didn't do it either. Does anyone know a fix for this situation? I searched the net but didn't find any post like this. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Christopher, Go to Edit | Preferences and then scroll down to the bottom of the left column until you get to Customization. There, click on Themes. Now access the drop-down menu next to the Theme label (below "Choose your theme" to the right). The drop-down should list all your saved themes (C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Themes). Kind regards, tecknot

It might be a matter of where you installed Ujam on your hard drive. Perhaps you need to add its path to CW's VST Scan Paths or simply scan your VSTs. Kind regards, tecknot

There is a simple way to combine/merge two (or more) projects into one. With your project open, navigate to your friend's project to where ever you saved it while in the Media Browser. Once you located your friend's project there, simply click and drag it into your current project's TV. Voila, instant merge of two in one. One thing to bare in mind, the two projects must share the same sample rate. Kind regards, tecknot

An SSL interface is certainly a very cool thing. For me it's like chasing after the next cool preamp/processor to add to a cluttered collection of semi/sometimes used gear. I hope these interfaces live up to the SSL reputation. I must check them out. Kind regards, tecknot

You merely change to the Select tool in the CB and lasso the desired group of notes. Kind regards, tecknot

You can easily do this in the PR. While holding down Shift+Ctrl, mouse click on the desired keys on the keyboard to the left. Kind regards, tecknot

I don't know anything about CW FX Pad (since there doesn't seem to be any info on the CW site), it may not be a VST but an DXi. Do you know if Reaper is compatible with DXis? Kind regards, tecknot

Do you have a MIDI track in CbB? Is EZD loaded in CbB? If yes on both, set the MIDI track's input to EZD and activate the input Echo button. If that is not the case, how did you insert EZD in CbB? Kind regards, tecknot

Excellent work. Kind regards, tecknot

You can use Aim Assist for the count (just press the X key). Kind regards, tecknot
