Wookiee

Couple of things I found worked for me when my M-Audio Keystation 88 Pro used to lose connection. 1. Make sure it was the only USB device connected to a USB hub, I did this by never connecting to a USB port next to another USB port on my PC. 2. You could try rebuilding TTSSEQ.INI this file is located in C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core. Either delete or rename the file to TTSSEQ.INI.OLD, CbB will rebuild the file based on connected and enabled hardware on restart, so make sure all your USB devices need for CbB are turned on before starting CbB. Once I moved the keyboard to the new USB port and rebuilt TTSSEQ.INI the keyboard no longer lost connection.

@Kenny Wilson this is the best I can do ? to crown you As always a real pleasure to hear you play.

@amiller Sorry to hear of your good ladies woes, I have known a few peeps with MS not a pleasant condition. You managed to capture that unpredictability of MS in the tone and playing of your guitar. Cool composition well captured it sounded good here, thanks for sharing. My very best wishes to you both, I know what it is like to live with someone who has a life changing medical condition, my best to both of you.

Have to agree the drum track does not really work with this, do you really need it? sounds to me like the Bass and other rhythm instruments are creating enough of a rhythm section. Other than that composition up to your normal standards @kakku

Thanks @Lynn you are all so kind to this furry alien.

For a first pass it sounds OK here thanks for sharing.

This may sound sound strange @Johnbee58 I like your vocal's you always sing from the heart which is far more important than being on the note every-time. Your music is tuneful and well presented, the mixes always sound good here. Make your music for your self and <Insert the vocal expression or expletive of your own choice> the naysayers and haters. If someone has a problem with your music remember it is they who have the problem not you.

As Bob notes the bottom end punch is missing, I can hear the kick and the bass but there is none of the punch I would expect from this genre. otherwise the mix does not sound bad here on the Adam's. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done chaps, cool arrangement and playing with sweet vocals over it. Mix wise I am not hearing any trampling anywhere across the spectrum. Cool job @markno999 and Bacco

@emeraldsoul Tom your ears are not deceiving you there is a quite a sweet little voice panning around in the mix from a Jupiter 8 V which keeps wandering in a an d out of tune quite deliberately. Thank you for the ears and the comment.

Thanks to you @Bob Oister you are most kind. I met Larry once, had a very interesting chat with him about his art. If my furry brain remembers correctly he frequently used his daughter as a muse for his females and did like to draw females. That picture is from a series of pictures of female witches and magicians. I am lucky enough to have that very picture hanging in our lounge, signed by Larry.

@Johnbee58 you are most kind sir, I have very little idea where it comes from, something happens and ideas fall out of furry paws, thank you again.

As you note @garybrun it needs a real look at the mix but it sounds like you have a good base to work from.

@amiller Thank you for the listen and kind words.

Thank you @kakku I try to be a little different, though sometimes the furry paws have other ideas.

Could not say one way or the other @Jesse Screed as ever always an interesting ride within your sonic world.

Nice Tim sound good here, my furry paws would get tangled in the keys if I tried to play like that.

From the furry paws of The Wookiee a track partly inspired by Larry Elmore's (RIP) drawing titled Eyes of Autumn Thanks for listening.

Good to know you have found a workable though irritating solution. I would try the WASAPI driver as on an old 2600K PC I have it gives me good latency with the MoBo's Realtek sound card. WASAPI has two modes Exclusive and shared as noted by @msmcleod you could try both. If you use Exclusive you could also check the option in Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording > Suspend Audio engine when Cakewalk is Is Not In Focus.

Freebies are always welcome, nice article well done.

@GuyWithAFuzzPedal, One way around this is to save the patch as new patch, irritating but a possible solution at least if it resets you can recall your saved preset. Any reason for using ASIO4all, what sound card are you using?

My furry ears must be tired as I thought the vocal could do with coming up in places, I see though you are looking at re-balancing the vocal so I will say nothing about the vocal. (Oh I already have oops). I liked as well.

@thegaltieribrothers Thanks Paul, probably not a good idea to drift off to this you may not make it back to where you would like to be.

My thanks @Jesse Screed I am really pleased you enjoyed this and can I please have some of whatever you are er smoking I can see those words being used as lyrics.

@amiller Sorry for the late reply I have been distract by some alternate toys, thanks for the listen and comment ?.
