New toys can be inspiring too - but I agree cakewalk is already amazing. There's some things I would like to see, but really it's already great. Anything not quite right - there is always another way to approach it & these things are really just minor not major & they do not diminish the end result. Still maybe they will find some way to augment the experiance.

I just kind of go with the flow I'm tired of wasting my time on technical issues - whatever works...works. Yea things do change from time to time. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. My interest is in making music.

Time for my yearly GI appointment. The doc always asks how things are going. Problem for me is, I can't remember S**T.

I've been using the program for many years - still have no interest in some of the features available.

Take a few deep breaths, walk away, come back later. It is well worth it. The flexibility is amazing. I have tried a few other programs. Cakewalk is the best of the couple that I have tried. But maybe that's because I have been using it for so many years, It a combination of many simple tasks, take it one at a time. The manual is large. Just look at the things that are of immediate concern. The people on this forum by the way are an incredible help.

Are you sure your hard drive is OK ? (again just a thought)

Sorry - Peter with the crash. It was just a thought - nothing more. BTW: I don't feel like Cakewalk is buggy but I do feel like there are so many shortcuts assigned that it might seem that way at times. It usually doesn't cause problem but I hit wrong keys semi regularly. Strange things can happen. (Backups, Backups, Backups)

I have had a few problems like this. I believe that in my case an audio overload caused the crash. Could this have happened to you ?

I find that USB midi devices tend to be this way. I always make sure any USB devices are turned on before Cakewalk. The same thing happens with my USB Audio Interface. Having said that: Having A minor nuisance is better than having it turn out to B Major. That would be a sharp experience.

Disabling display waveform was I believe intended to speed performance for those who were having performance issues. My guess is (as above) this is probably your issue.

Arranger Tracks make the markers entirely obsolete. They are easier to see and easier to use and color coded. Multiple Tracks are possible so you can label both the song section & the chords. And the bonus is you can use it to arrange. Ctrl - Page up/Page down moves you to Next/Last section of the active track.

We've got kids so my wife is a real mother.

I'd say you guys are slipping - but really is there any further that you could go ??????

This is why I mostly use external modules.

My keyboard only has a few flute & oboe sounds, so it gets kind of warm since there aren't too many windy spots.

Cars are expensive and there is always something that needs to be fixed. There's always another bill. But you know it's the times when they don't brake that you really have problems.

On the drop down Edit menu undo (Ctrl-Z) does not sync with the activity list when you select History from the Edit menu. (The full activity list seems to show the correct first item. Could be confusing)

Yeah - I sent it to my kids as well.

Try using control insert or ctrl V to paste.

Yes, sometimes I have to re-boot the machine when things get bogged down too much. A nice touch might be something inside of cakewalk that could clear all of that up. Maybe there is I don't know. I can say that the audio re-set doesn't do it.

So what the first thing I did when I saw this - sent it to my kids.

I've said it before but this is the number one thing I would like to see in cakewalk. Game changing is what it would be.

Mod wheel CC#1, Volume CC#7 & Expression CC#11 are good places to start. CC#11 Is nice because it can change the volume of an instrument as it played, CC#7 changes the volume of all following notes but not the currently playing one. (at least on my setup for external sound sources)

Yes, and 99.46541 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

And kind of on that theme: My Doctor said I had acute diarrhea but I disagreed.
