When you click a piano key to the left in PRV that selects all of that note though the whole song. This is desirable for moving notes from a downloaded file that is triggering the wrong sound in a kit. Individual Notes are moved by selecting them one at a time with the smart tool and drag whereevr,,, up down sideways. Groups of notes you can lasso with the smart tool and right click drag.

Do you mean just re install the program or start over with a new system drive? Re installing software "clean" to a old system requires removing a lot of stuff and takes a bit of doing. All those nasty little registry entries and hidden folders and whatnot. Starting fresh on a nice shiny brand new SSD C drive is sort of easier. I used to do this every 2 years in the old days but things seems to work better for longer now.

Are you using the smart tool? My tutorial part II shows you how to edit in PVR

Wow that was my first official studio recorder. I actually made a lot of money with one. But that was because it was new, and I kept it very clean, demagnetized and all that stuff. I also used only one type of tape which I guess was TDK but not chrome. Chrome tape was known to trash the heads. The DBX noise reduction was the big issue, It made vocals sound phazy. I certainly would not every use that again. If for some weird reason you think it will sound better forget that myth. Sure a 1/2 tape running at 15ips sounds cool, but anything done on a cassette?? waist of time. Now A Yamaha MD8 that sounds good!

I recommend you try using a Wave editor for this sort of work. Wave editors are optimized for workflow when working with a stereo file. I have been using Wave Lab for going on 14 years. Elements is only around $100 and is all you need. There are also a few good freebies. The best I've used is Acoustica Basic. https://acondigital.com/products/acoustica-audio-editor/ I also use Gold Wave a lot especially for batch converting WAVE to MP3 files. Free to try, cheap to buy lifetime updates too. http://www.goldwave.ca/ With wave lab your task is as simple as drag the mouse across the dead space and hit delete. Done. It will automatically use zero crossing to join the material. You can also quickly do gain and normalizing or even apply a hi pass filter to a POPPed P Best of all is for workflow is that all tools stay open while you work. Drag mouse, click,,, done. Way faster. I just finished a video tutorial I made for a friend so I'm just uploading to Youtube now. Will be here when finished http://www.cactusmusic.ca/tutorial-videos

I get something like this too. I can log on on my iPhone,, but not my iPad. It dead ends with a unresponsive page On my iPhone clicking the green bar opens the forum with me logged in,, On the iPad nothing happens. Tried 6 or so times.

This has me pondering how you were recording. Did you insert a dozen audio tracks and overdub new parts to each track, I don't follow this "looping" and mixing from the end of a clip at all?? Reason I mention this is possibly your doing something weird that is making Cakewalk think too hard. Running 12 audio tracks side by side should not put a strain on any system for the last 10 years. Now if your trying to add 200 VST effects that's another story. If you are, what happens when you bypass the effects?

Yes if you had said CbB was crashing I would not have answered the way I did. I can only assume when someone say's Sonar that they are using Sonar. And yes it hard to get used to calling it Cakewalk after typing the word Sonar for the last 12 years or so. That is why most of us have adopted using CbB as it's quicker to type. We used to always use Splat so people would see we were using Platinum and not Pro or Artist. Life is easier now with just having the one version. That is a common issue with controllers sending CC events. I had a old Roland that the joystick kinda crapped out and did that. VST's would play out of tune all the time. When people post with that issue first thing I say is unplug your controller and see if it goes away.

Low Pass would be closer to the truth not Low Shelf. A Low Shelf filter would actually reduce the amount of low end going to the sub. The EQ term shelf is when you reduce all frequencies below or above a set threshold to a certain amount. They are still there to what ever amount you have chosen but sitting on a "shelf" at a set level. See diagram for a clear explaination. Pass filters Low or Hi Pass which will totaly cut off with a sharp curve all frequancies below or above the threshold. They are what would be used in a Crossover system And for a sub they would be lo passed meaning only the low frequencies would PASS the crossover all hi frequencies are filtered out. The Main speakers would then have the High Passed fequencies. It's very important if you work with audio and plan on using EQ to get this sorted out... The term Crossover is what is correct to use.

The obvious solution is to update to CbB which for me stopped the random crashes I used to get with Splat. It is the #1 reason I was more than happy thet CbB came along when it did.

Up until this time last year you could upgrade by using this From a Windows 7 or 8.1 device, go to the webpage entitled "Windows 10 free upgrade for customers who use assistive technologies." Click on theUpgrade now button. Run the executable file to install the upgrade. But I tried it in Febuary and it didn't work. You can always ask by using the Chat feature. I was thinking about it for this Laptop someone gave me which originally had W8.0. I had to install my crack of W7 to get it working again,, original OS drive was pooched. It certainly sucks to have to pay for something everyone else got free.

The MT 32 was my "band" for a few years. The cool thing about that box was Jeff Koftinoff who worked for Roland grew up here in Grand Forks. He created the MT 32 editor which helped us take control of the box. I remember it loaded up first thing when I booted my Atari. A lot of this software is still found on Tims Atari site. http://atari-music.fddvoron.name/timidi.htm if you have an old XP computer you can run this stuff in STeam. The MT 32 is now found in a much improved state as the Cakewalk TTs-1. Everything that played through the MT 32 will play in TTS-1 either the same of much better. I still have a bunch of my old sound modules but they slowly gather dust. Hate to toss them out as it would seem someday some fool might want them as people pay money for anything that becomes vintage. My band is now: Ample P bass lite -Free Addictive drums 2 - was free with Sonar DB 33 - ( Organs) was I think under $50 and came with a whole bunch of other stuff in the AIR expand pack when on sale. Addictive Keys Demo- free if you have an account I also use Air Xpand for horns, the SI strings, Strum Session and TTS-1 for percussion and weird things.

I just Bought the BBE Sonic Sweet mostly because years ago I owned the old Aural Exciter with Big Bottom. Anyhow it certainly sounding better if you use just a little bit. On sale right now cheap enough. Question.. are you tool copying your tracks to a wave editor or are you using Sonars normalizer? I always tool copy into Wave lab because I can then analyze the RMS level as well as ask what the peak value is before normalizing. Cakewalks Normalizer is sort of working blind for me.

This is as good as any place to say Merry Christmas ,,,hope you all had a great day. Yes this is me at work the other day,,, I was singing Christmas songs dressed up like the big Dude,,, I had a little trouble with the beard fitting... Some of the old folks thought I was real..Some said,, Santa sings like Johnny...Best song of the day was "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas ( Gayla Peevey, 1953, the year I was born) I also fell in love with Little Toy Trains this year. I like Glen Campbell's version

This is the same as another thread. Answer is YES you could have saved any of the older exicutables if you knew how and had done this. I think I have a few that I saved still. But I doubt if this is the solution if you are having issues. As said you would have to go all the way back to the 2017 versions. CbB was based on 2017 Sonar and the features it came with are like Platinium with only a few 3rd party VST's missing. Most of the updates have been for stability and W10 users. I have the most up to date version running on both W10 and W7. The W10 computer never crashes, The W7 one does from time to time. The version of SPlat from last year also crashed from time to time on both W7 and W10. I am just happy they solved that one little issue. I don't expect it to be solved for W7 so I just put up with it. And there's no benifit I can see to rolling back as I really doubt that would help. It's just my mobile laptop system so not critical. If I had the money I would just buy W10 for it but I have better things to spend money on. W7 is going to be hard to run pretty soon. Even were I work, a large Health Care Authority with probably 10,000 +machines they are upgrading next year.

4. Add an indicator that shows I posted in a thread, like the old forum did. For me all threads I reply to have a star instead of a dot. •

Thanks I'll go looking for it there, Might be a while as it's Family time for next few days Funny it came back as I havn't done anything with Cubase for over a year. I do use Wave lab a lot but in the past it never installed this driver or I would have seen it. Might have something to do with me trying to get OBS Studio screen capture to use my Tascams in/outs. I'm making Cakewalk Tutorials and was trying to get both OBS and Sonar running together using the Tascams Audio.. As it is, it works best if I use on board for OBS. I was also trying WASAPI shared but a no go.

The thing is I do not think they is a limit on how many machines you can install your copy too. I myself have it now on 5 computers. I don't use them all but I like to have them for helping on this forum.

You can even take this one step further as anything you can do with a mouse or keyboard can be also done with a USB footswitch. There are a few models with some as low as $30 from amazon. I bought the Stealth footswitch and it definatly the best quality. The cheap ones work fine but the stealth seems bullet proof. USB footswitches can be quickly programed with any mouse clicks or keystrokes. You can save them etc. Certainly a boon for guitar player keepping both hands on your guitar. I couldn't live without this for live gigs. https://stealthswitch.com/applications/stealthswitch3/ Picture above ..You will need up to 5 footpedals which it's best to get from them as they use 1/8" jacks not the standard 1/4" I have the Stealth set up to control playback of Win Amp,, But I could also re program it to run TH 3. https://www.amazon.ca/iKKEGOL-Control-Customized-keyboard-Multimedia/dp/B07553KW32/ref=sr_1_7/132-8856595-9537311?ie=UTF8&qid=1545682642&sr=8-7&keywords=usb+foot+switch Picture above. This is the one I use for Power point, It comes with good software and so far has lasted 2 years. A bit large. I got mine for $29 on sale. https://www.amazon.ca/iKKEGOL-Mechanical-Control-Action-Keyboard/dp/B01M998H36/ref=sr_1_8/132-8856595-9537311?ie=UTF8&qid=1545682642&sr=8-8&keywords=usb+foot+switch Picture above This one I use to control Cakewalk, Not very good software, had to load it using W7 but they all remember what has been programed into a static memory chip. An now one of the pedals is not always responding. Would not recomend. I have programed it with the R. Spacebar and W keys for footcontrol of Cakewalk. I have lost the W for now. Just do a search for USB Footswitches

Thanks everyone. WIll try those. I did try searching for it but only item shows up is that Dialog box I posted above. Everything is working fine but I really don't want unwanted drivers lurking. I have a feeling it got installed with the Magix ( Vegas) Movie Studio Plat.

The Tascam is selected. I got rid of the generic driver a while ago and I forget how. As you see it's back on the list. Normally there would only be my Tascam, nothing else because I always disable all other drivers. My interface is always turned on and I use it for all audio. Done it like this for years. The Generic driver I do believe originally is installed with Cubase which I have but do not use. I don't no how it came back. Other software I have installed in the last few weeks is OBS stucio and Vegas Movie studio so possibly those added the driver. But now,,, how do I get rid of it again...

Opened Cakewalk and when I tried to select an input from my Tascam interface it said "none" ??Opening preferences found that that pesky Generic ASIO driver had taken over. I got rid of it a long time ago. Only change in the last few days has been a W10 update and I just installed the BBE Sonic sweet. Any how I found a way to disable it but why does it still show in the Sync and Cashing tab? Here's what I found ( Oh my goodness, I don't have to upload to iMGUR ANYMORE cool> ) So I unchecked it and my Tascam came back, but you can see it is still using the wrong driver to calculate offset... that cannot be a good thing

EI 11 is a pointless browser to use. I manage my own web page and the software I use even states that it is optimized for Chrome, Safari and Android. I always look at my pages after I publish and they look exactly right on those and even Firefox. But IE everything is all wrong and add ons are missing. I'm only forced to use it at work and I hate it.

I do believe I remember Noel posting about this and hopefully they might chime in. It was about a few things they did that make Cakewalk fully integrated to W10. I think they spend NO time worrying about backwards compatibility. You must remember this is free software and they are no longer focusing on how to "sell" it. So why waste resources tweaking code for W7. Better things happen when we move forward and for me it's a noticeable difference. I often have my W7 laptop sitting beside my W10 Desktop system. I've been recording screen captures on it for a tutorial for my band mate and son in Law who are just diving in. The W7 machine is noticeably slower to respond even though it's specs are close and both use SSD OS and DATA drives. On the Laptop I get random freeze ups and crashes for no reason. They never happen on the W10 machine. I don't think my W10 system has crashed since last spring> And I have it on line a rule I never used to break. The laptop is even more optimized for recording as I don't use it for anything else. Latency Monitor shows better performance for the Laptop so go figure. It's not a deal breaker and what I do is save more often. But the answer to your OP is CbB is Very stable if running on an modern up to date machine. I might just spring for the upgrade to W10 on the Laptop but as it's not my main DAW I would rather spend that money on a new guitar !

Hey Bob when you get up and running and have any questions let me know. We both have a similar background. I started with the old Atari and a rack of modules. And I play both solo and as a Dou. I still have all my old midi files and the good news is you can open those in Cakewalk and if they were GM they will play just like they did in 85! There's no need for 2 computers as you can just export your mix to a wav ( or MP3) Live, I use Stereo wav files played back using Win Amp on a very small Net book. I control Win Amp with a Stealth foot pedal system. I use Win Amp because it's the only player I am aware of that STOPS after each song plays.
