About Me

  1. Cannot manage to record a track from a digital piano connected to Cakewalk. I created a TTS instrument track that’s working normally: i.e. I can input notes to it manually (e.g. in Piano Roll), and these notes are heard if I play back the track. A digital piano is connected as the input for the track, and it also seems to work: if I press any keys on the physical piano keyboard, these keys become highlighted in Piano Roll, and the meters it the track’s header display the level (see the attached screenshot). The track is aimed for recording, and I double-checked all relevant settings. After I press Record and start playing, however, the metronome is clicking, and the playhead is moving forward, but no music is being actually recorded. In addition, the Record button in the toolbar doesn’t turn red. What am I doing wrong?

  5. Hello, please tell me how to make MIDI and AUDIO clips transparent in Cakewalk
  6. I had a MIDI file created by another application and opened it with Cakewalk. The notes in the MIDI were played live on a digital piano, so they all have different velocities. Then I saved the file as cwp and edited it in Cakewalk, taking care of the dynamics. After saving the file back to MIDI, all velocities became reset to 127, which is completely no good. How to convert my cwp file to MIDI without losing velocities?
  7. This is a problem that I am having on several machines with different MIDI keyboards so I am not sure what the problem is, but every so often I get no MIDI Input (this icon in the system tray doesn't light up): I have to always unplug the USB cable from the MIDI controller, sometimes that works and will prompt: Other times I still won't get this prompt and it won't work until I toggle these inputs: I have no clue what keeps causing this, if anyone has anything I can try, that would be so much appreciated as this is interrupting my creative workflow. THANK YOU!!!! B7EBC4D6-84F8-4583-9EDA-E908B9F8C80D.SNAG
  8. So I want to draw in some 8th notes so I have my options set as follows: As you see the first notes I draw are exact 8th notes, but then it changes on me for a reason I do not understand: And if I look up, it shows the setting is now on "1158 ticks" Any help is much appreciated!

  10. Hi, everyone! Hope all is well! My SI instruments are missing the sounds and Program Browser data. They are all like this: strings, bass and drums. How do I get them back? Here's what I've tried so far Bandlab Assistant: The Studio Instruments Suite check mark is greyed out and does not have an option to uninstall or reinstall or repair. I know the latter 2 have not been a part of CW, but just mentioning because I went to look for it. Apps and Features I attempted to use Windows 10 Apps and Features to uninstall with the plan to go back to Bandlab Assistant to re-install. However, I get the following when I try: Thanks, in advance! Kevin

    Imported MIDI

    I originally was using LMMS until I realized I cannot record live into LMMS. So I wanted to switch to CakeWalk. I can import my midi and assign to the correct VST I want, but I find that the notes do not correspond to the same locations in the keypad editor as in LMMS. So, my base is a few notes higher, but maintains the same progressions. The drums are as if I played them on different keys when I first put them into LMMS, about a full octave off. I tried to copy and move, but then the timing of the notes is off. Is there a way to correct this so that if I originally started my pattern from a E2, the midi gets loaded at the same note. For example, where my kick drum should be it's hitting a cymbal. If I drag it down to where a kick is a kick, a snare is a snare, etc, I lost the timing and placement of the notes. I set them up in LMMS as 1/24 so I could break each 4/4 measure into 6 counts and play program a more swing groove. Thanks in advance.
  12. Hello. I must say that the Pentagram MIDI edition it was easier in Sonar, as it was an interface where you were ablo to select the length of the notes. For example, if you want to write a note with the length of 8:00 you need to edit one by one every semibrave(4:00) and edit the length of it. Also in Sonar if you clicked over one note it took the length and velocity of that note. Why is not doing that now? Also, the edition it was faster because you were able to change the length of a note just clicking the numbers. Now with the numbers arechange the interface configuration. Is this going to change in the future? And whi the smart tool doesnt work for the pentagram edition if you want to increase the velocity? Regards.
  13. Hello. I'm wondering if it is possible to configure pentagrams with microtonal tunning, or just keeping the different tunning of another tunnings like well tempered or Pythagoric scale. I have some synthetizers which allow you to do this kind of things. It sometimes help to get different colors in music, and also helps for contemporary music composition. Regards.
  14. Howdy, I'm pretty new to using DAWs anyway, and I picked up Cakewalk since it seemed like a good free option. I keep running into the following issue: there are multiple MIDI tracks in the project, and at apparently random times, the instrument assigned to one track can be heard playing the MIDI from another track as well as it's own assigned MIDI. Upon some research of this issue, I found a forum post that suggested changing the inputs on the tracks. Most of the time, if I have the inputs to all the MIDI tracks set differently, the problem won't occur, but sometimes it still will, so this doesn't seem like a satisfactory solution. Beyond that, the most recent variation of this issue was when I tried File>Export>Audio... and exported as an MP3. I had all three MIDI tracks set to different inputs so that the different sounds wouldn't play the wrong MIDI during playback as I described above, but upon export as an MP3, the exported file very clearly has one instrument still playing MIDI from two different tracks. I don't know why the instrument assigned to one track would be affected by anything in another track anyway, and I definitely don't know why the DAW wouldn't export exactly what you hear in playback within the DAW, so I'm quite befuddled. Any help would be much appreciated!
  15. Hello. This process is working weird, if you select the notes in the Pentagram mode, or in the Piano Roll and click on listen/test button (I'm sorry, I don't know how is this written in English) it plays both the original notes and the quantized at the same time. Does anyone is having the same issue? Also I would like to ask. Is there anywhere explained what each groove pattern is doing? I'm not able to understand what it is doing. Regards

  18. [Updated] I see this nearly identical post from December 2020 that went unanswered so I'll rephrase my question(s). Does anybody else on this forum use comp recording within a loop for MIDI? Is it possible? If not, is it a bug? I see nothing in the online help to indicate this is supported for only audio tracks. (Note: Using Auto Punch with "Mute Previous Takes" selected has no effect). [Update 2] I've determined this only happens when using Auto-Punch. With Auto-Punch off I get expected results. I submitted a support incident (#615702) for this issue. [Original post] When I try to do comp loop recording with any MIDI instrument (soft synth or external) I can't seem to figure out why it won't mute the previously recorded take(s) while recording a new take - i.e. all previous takes play while new take is recording. My record options are set to "Comping" and "Takes Create New Lane". I've armed the "Track" not a take lane (though I've tried numerous combinations). Note: I have no trouble comp loop recording audio where everything works as expected so I'm wondering what I'm missing. Thanks in advance.
  19. I have a 100% quantized midi track. I want to create a tempo variation, based on a manual tap of my keyboard. Apparently Fit Improvisation does the opposite, that is, if I had a midi track that is NOT quantized and I wanted to make it quantized using a reference track with the beat. How can I do this?
  20. Hello. I have a problem. Suddenly, I am not able to listen to midi projects. I have just installed a mini piano to record, and from this moment, I can not hear midi. Can anybody help me? Thank you in advance
  21. I added SI drum kit to my project and everything seemed to be fine until suddenly I noticed that when I play a note on my MIDI keyboard, on another track (with a completely different instrument), I hear the drum kit sounds along with it. With any key. I tried muting and deleting the drum kit but nothing worked, now all my instruments have drums sounding over them, I can't hear them properly (except in the playback). What might be causing this :(

  23. It seems that its not easy to export selected midi track(s) to file. The software can export a Midi Groove Clip which is not always convenient. Cakewalk can also export all midi data from the project, which is not convenient either. Maybe it's just because I don't know how but I did search the documentation before posting this. Since the Export menu has been greatly upgraded recently, it would be nice if we could export one or more selected midi tracks for either the entire song or only selected measures. I was surprised that such a straight operation was not easily feasible.
  24. HI I'm Doug and I have always wanted to be able to play an instrument and at 63 yr I got the chance during the pandemic. If I had figured out that I could play by ear when I was 15 you would know who I am already! I have a home studio kit that I put together not even knowing that this is what I was going to be very happy to be in possession of at that time. I play along with my favorite music and have never gotten everything like it should be to be able to do what I have been attempting. I think it has a lot to do with there being such an eclectic array of devices that windows doesn't know whether it needs to figure out what exactly a since of humor consists of or whether to play along like Spock failing to see the humor of the matter. If their is something that explains how to configure this and I can find it I can figure it out and have gotten close trying to post live on Facebook but it isn't consistent. Or I'm not, my computer is a little slow and tries my patients and that is a good deal of the issue. I will explain what I have set up now and hopefully someone can give me a clue. I am using a Baldwin pianovelle rsp that has a lot of Rolland, or Korg features of the 80's era for the $50 I paid for it I thought it was a Rolls Royce compared to the Casio ctk 2100 I have that got me going. I use one of the headphone jacks on the front to mic 1 on the front of the Pyle,I have a cheap mic that I haven't got up the courage to get serious yet for mic 2 my computer line out is going to the source in on the back of it. My line out goes to a splitter that is for 1 stereo set of rca in and has about 5 sets out that are click lock and I push them all in at the same time so its basically a 1 in 5 out switch of which go to the bass and monitors and one goes into the sound card on the computer. There is a midi in out and thru that I bought a midi to usb pnp with 16 in and 16 out channel that goes to the pc It works fantastic I have about 1500 watts leftover because the bass and monitors are powered well. It would be capable of rattling car windows driving by wouldn't that be a switch! I just don't know how to tell the software what to look for and am not sure if it would find what it is looking for in windows. So far it has not. Thanks in advance for any help!
