And that. I have a 124 songs in my basic set list. over 200 if I count a different act I play in. These days i actually only need around 30 songs to kill off a night. The events are often dinner and dance so the dance part is only 2 sets. Ive looked into the other options for live performance but none have everything on my checklist Playback 4 Audio tracks Play midi just for equipment control and lights display the lyrics on a second screen fast set list editing drag and drop Control playlist and start stop with foot switch Funny thing is my Atari system did all this other than the audio tracks. But then I used midi sound modules anyway. I always meant to contact Jeff Koftinoff and ask if it was possible to port his software to PC. I can run it in STeam on Windows XP http://atari-music.fddvoron.name/promid.htm Check out all this now free midi software for Atari most was written in the late 80,s. Notice the original Cubase. As I said if you have XP you can run the Atari emulation STEam and all this stuff still runs. http://atari-music.fddvoron.name/timidi.htm

First try this, I see it has USB port,You may need to install a driver to get it working https://www.boss.info/ca/support/by_product/dr-880/updates_drivers/0a78c26e-a48a-4807-942d-40caaebb49a2/ Watch my video on this for setting it up. it also has midi outputs, so you can also connect those to your computer using a midi interface or if your audio interface has midi ports. This may require some settings in the 808 to be set correctly for the pads to transmit midi but it should be the default.

I think performing musicians have become such a small market nobody is making software or hardware for us anymore. It’s all DJ equipment now. Cakewalks focus seems to be on new users who for the most part aren’t musicians. Just gluing loops together with on board audio as the # 1 system used now. The “Recording Studio “ aspect has taken a back seat to “Bedroom Producers “. So I wouldn’t think they would have much time to think much about the handful of us dreaming of a Live Show Cakewalk.

Sorry if I had zoomed in more I would have seen the ASIO in the settings.

Question. Are you using the ASIO driver? I have a Signature 10 and even though it’s only stereo audio the ASIO Driver made by Harman ( Korg) shows me the normal Channel 1 left Channel 1 right Channel 1 stereo. That most ASIO interface drivers do.

I thought I answered this but No you don’t loose it. it’s on the cloud forever that’s how everything works. 10 year later if you don’t forget your login and password you can still open it.

Wow and I thought my set up was complicated. Good job on that. I have played using backing tracks since the early 80’s Bars stopped hiring bands and were only hiring singles and duo’s. First the drum machines then the Atari driving midi. I miss the midi control of all my gear I had back then. Every song on the Atari pulled up the lyrics, set my Alesis Reverb, messed with the Yorkville lights and played live our Roland MT 32 , Juno, 505 , Yamaha FB01 and a Korg Poly 800. A local Jeff Kofftinoff wrote the Software we used called Performer, and we together made a foot switch out of a joy stick. Most important button was the Panic button to clear stuck notes. Later as a single it was too much gear to hook up and I went with mastering the backing tracks in stereo to Sony Mini Disks. Sounded great but I lost the foot switch, midi control of stuff and no lyrics. Since around 2004 I have used a laptop running WinAmp and a USB foot switch. I tried the playlist getting all excited about regaining midi control but it had 2 major faults for me. It was too slow between songs and I need flexibility of song order on the fly. The slowness was probably due to the vintage of the laptop at the time . But flexibility is important to me as I’ve always worked with very loose set lists Win amp allows me to look out at a crowd and go, oh oh. Lots of Grey hair, better start wit Elvis and Buddy. And quickly drag a few songs around. I guess the solution in Playlist is create a LOT of different sets. thanks for sharing your set up I enjoyed reading that.

Obviously on a cell phone and the actual band lab app. Your stuff will stay stored on the cloud you probably won’t be able to access it with out the app.

Well It looks like Mr Grigorowitsch has wandered off leaving a trail of none responding threads behind so you boys can relax. Funny thing is in this thread below they say right away they are using WASAPI mode. And Once again we obviously have a language and terminology issue. It would be cool to have volume that does go too fast.

This video is very clear and has solved this issue for many folks https://youtu.be/opDwsC4_llg?si=RKoGXyA1jQxkeEzr

I really don’t know what you’re referring to because I don’t know what you have done. It seems you’re trying to do things in an unorthodox manner. As I said normally you put audio effects in the effects bin which can be turned on and off. Or you use a send to an effect buss. Or you use the pro channel which also can be turned on and off I am not familiar with an effect feature or was I aware there is such a feature as VST editing mode? Ya, you can change VST effect settings using the GUI,> So somehow I have a feeling your question is hard to answer because you are possibly using an incorrect term for what your trying to do. Possibly you have just toggled a keyboard shortcut that opened the envelope editing tool. Usually using Undo will fix stuff. If not re start the project. Your screen shot is of too small a section of the track to know what else could be happening. All I see is a envelope in the second shot. There are lots of different envelopes the blue colour would tell me what it is if I go and look, but it's possibly an effects automation? Is this your mystery VST editing mode? Just delete it in the envelope lane

So I’m seeing a stereo track because you probably have used the rendering to apply the effects. That’s not a great idea because it is destructive editing Put the effects in the effects bin. Or create a effects buss and the all your vocal tracks can share the same set up I cover this in this video

I added info to my first post when you replied. Please read that and reply

Those are volume envelopes. Not at my computer so can’t give details. But here’s a good way to learn what icons are for. Open the help module and point the mouse at a icon or widget. The help module will tell you what it does The term VST is used for both audio effects and soft synth instruments. What are you trying to use? If that track is vocals it should be a mono track as well.

Seems you were already told not to use asio4all and use WASAPI follow this video for correct audio settings

It’s actually very easy in Melodyne I do this a lot For live best to buy a pedal. I’ve not tried it but I think my TC Voice Live pedal can create 4 parts.

Didn’t work for me. Tried twice. And it doesn’t go through the master so not what I need anyhow.

I don’t see a way. With all the track export settings you get the longest track for all. Seems only clips could be used but what is the point of that? If I want a clip I can drag it from the audio folder. They hopefully will put a little more work into this one. As the tracks export they are soloed so it doesn’t seem a stretch of programming to me that it could automatically detect the end of the track and move on. I could see that all tracks involved would need to be bounced so there’s no breaks and spaces in them. But I could live with that because mostly I’m thinking that if this did work properly you could easily assemble an album of songs in a dedicated project set up for final mastering. I tried it once but I still had to trim the endings of all the songs in a wave editor.

Movie Studio (Vegas?) has a auto save that seems invisible and works really well for me. It must be a default setting as I’ve never set it up. But just last night I managed to freeze it up and had to close using task manager. To my surprise when I restarted I had only lost about 5 minutes of editing. This topic made me think that I need to actually look into the settings and find out what they are.

Well it didn’t work for me because I have to select the tracks thru mix as I need them to have gone through the master buss. I used Select None and the tracks are all the same length still. Not a problem for this project but disappointing if I was wanting to actually do an album assembly. I like the new export dialogue but it doesn’t seem to do much more than the old one for me. And the fact that there is no MP3 settings must suck for some people.

You play them with a soft synth Once you find the sound you want you can freeze the track. This creates an audio file which you could then re use elsewhere

I think in the computer world that there’s mouse people and keyboard people. I’m definitely a mouse person. I have to force my self to remember keyboard shortcuts are probably faster . But are they. So by nature my right hand and the mouse pointer flys to the file menu and hits save in a nanosecond long before my brain realizes I’ve done it and could have given my left hand something to do. I just can’t do two key stoke commands because I’d have to let go of the mouse and my world would fall apart. But I’m learning. It hurts to use my right hand right now because I just had my right shoulder full replacement. I’m in a sling. So I’ve been trying to learn more keyboard stuff. Trying to use a mouse left handed goes as well as trying to play a guitar that way.

A Tascam US 600 is probably the same vintage as my us 1641, as I see the driver was last updated in 2014. I haven't hooked mine up for a long time but it was working great with W10 and CbB last time I did. I'll hook it up tonight if I get a minute and see if it's still OK. You can still use the speakers but don't use the USB, hook them up normally with patch cables from your interface. Update: my Tascam just ran all night without any issues I’m all updated both windows andCbB Seems your driver should still be fine too if made by same team The M1 Specs: USB 1.1 audio interface - 1.1? that's gotta be totally obsolete for W10 16-Bit / 48 kHz recording and playback 16 bit's even dates it more this also means you cannot use with a 44.1 Cakewalk project. Pro-grade 1/4" plugs and standard RCA jacks Works with iPad via Apple USB Adaptor (sold separately) TRS Headphone output Two 1/4” phone jacks inputs This is what makes them still something usable in the modern world. You would use these connected to your audio interface. Stereo 1/8” TRS mini-jack input Or this if you were using on Board audio. Stereo RCA inputs 1/8” TS output to passive speaker ho! lets power up our PA speakers with this 10 watt Class X amp Har har. Switchable power supply Magnetically shielded for placement near TV and computer monitors This product is class compliant; it does not require drivers that sucks but nobody would dream of using this as an audio interface anyhow.

At the time I was blaming it on my beloved 32 bit MrTramp. I stopped using it but have since opened and worked on many projects that have it with out issues. I only use the tts1 as a opener for download midi files and in my tutorials. But it still lurks in older projects and not aware that it has ever crashed. But I have had the issue we’re it crashes a busy project if you try and add it later on. no loss. If I find it in an older project i replace it immediately which is always an improvement
