If it works like the Event list, then I've never found a way to select all events. I just use the View to show the events I don't want and hold the delete key down. It will gobble them up pretty quickly. If you don't use hardware these messages don't seem to have anything to do with soft synths. If you are using hardware then you can disable the sending in these options shown in the screenshots.

There are humanizing midi tools but all they do is move the notes out of time. So ya, humanized like someone who is a bad player! Just because the midi notes are perfect doesn’t make them inhuman. Some keyboard players and drummers can actually play like that. The secret is to learn how to edit the midi to sound the way you want it no matter how the midi was created. Expecting AI to accomplish this task is wishful thinking. Google the question results in many videos this one I like

Set global reverb with wet/dry setting for each channel?
John Vere replied to Louis Miles's topic in Instruments & Effects
Just thinking out loud here. Doesn’t it depend on the video game player how it works? Like I know games on a PC can use the ms wavetable synth. Apple probably uses something similar? Or do modern game players just play wave files? If there is a midi sound generator then you would need to find out what cC events it responds to. I would figure this would be GM. If it is then you would definitely use the TTS 1 to compose. -
I’m glad you posted those shots. I was going to but was too lazy. The player piano was my first experience with playing a piano back in 1959. My neighbour had one. I was fascinated by how it worked . Notice the sustain CC on the far left? Of course the holes( notes) you are looking at aren’t the ones playing but they printed the lyrics on the right side in sync. First time I saw a piano roll view ( Cubase?) I new exactly what it was and how it would work. It’s just sideways.

It’s about that much if not more for me. I thought it was broken. I’ve just become used to it and I go cut the lawn or something while waiting.

Never start a song at zero. It’s been a long time feature request to have a negative measure at the start. Everyone starts at at least one. I’ve added count ins starting at zero using the drums rim shot and that first click is always a bit quieter.

I’m on my phone so can’t check but isn’t there a virtual keyboard in windows that will highlight any keystrokes? Be an easy way to check broken keys.

Monitor through interface plus computer speakers?
John Vere replied to charles kasler's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
To answer your question no you can’t use them both at the same time . You have reconfigure Cakewalk driver settings. What I do is I have a Bluetooth speaker and that can co exist with my interfaces for some reason. Not with Cakewalk playback but as said above I export the mix and use media player. I simply turn the Bluetooth speaker on and it plays. If I then turn it off Media Player returns to my interface and studio monitors. Another set up I had before was a pair of computer speakers connected to my headphone jack. -
X32 USB & Cakewalk won't work, please read this!!!
John Vere replied to Steve Campbell's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
This almost sounds exactly like another thread recently and like I told that person. Follow the steps in this video carefully. The Realtek needs to be completely out of the picture. -
recording with Autotune and input monitoring
John Vere replied to Jordi's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Reason I say this because most software will have a check box to install desktop icon and a quick start icon. I have the Motu M4 which doesn’t use cue mix. I was curious to see what happened if I installed the OP’s driver on my other computer. After the install I expected the icon but it wasn’t there. It’s easy to just drag the link in the start menu to the desktop or add it to the system tray. But it made me wonder if the OP was aware that the interface had a control panel. You would be surprised how many people never read the manual or even go to the manufacturer web site for drivers. -
Not sure exactly the plug in but a lot of saturation plug in s add upper harmonics. Thinking out loud here. Copy the track. Put the saturation plug in in the bin 100% wet. Use EQ in pro channel to remove lower frequencies. Use a spectrum analyzer as you experiment creating the upper frequency harmonics. Put an EQ after the saturation in the bin and hi pass all but the new frequencies.

No I think I noticed it first, I was just adding to what I originally said. That's why we need more screenshots as something weird is happening as normally a user does not have to set the master bus, it automatically is routed to the hardware. So either the OP manually changed the output or an audio set up error is happening< Example we are not using ASIO.

recording with Autotune and input monitoring
John Vere replied to Jordi's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
First I will assume you have successfully removed Realtek from the REG EDIT Next go here and download the driver- Unless you have done this already- I can do no harm. https://motu.com/en-us/download/#category=1&product=251 Once installed OPEN CUE MIX, Cue mix is where you make your settings. The Motu ASIO driver only works as 24 bit. So that tells me something was not installed correctly. And use 48Khz for your clock rate. 44.1 is from 1970's. Nobody uses that anymore. A mistake Motu makes is they don't have an option to install a desktop icon so I guess people might not even be aware that Cue Mix is installed. -
The only reason this might happen that I can think of is there’s no output chosen in Preferences audio settings. But we have a screen shot that says otherwise? Screen shots of all the audio settings might shed light on the issue.

This thread is one of those stumpers where the OP asks a question that to 99% of us who have used midi forever had to immediately think that the question must be worded wrong because it’s sort of obvious how gaps in midi PRV are created. I’ve never actually seen the question, if I am understanding it correctly, has ever been asked! Take a piano note in PRV and don’t use the sustain pedal. Hit three 1/4 notes in time with the metronome and don’t hit the 4th note. The 4th note is a rest ( I guess). Those notes will appear in the PRV as 3 rectangle blobs each starting on the 1/4 note grid and ending before the next blob starts. The 3rd blob will end before the 4th grid line. If it doesn’t then it’s not a 1/4 note. The only answer I can truly think of is if you want a rest, don’t draw or play a frgn note there.

Most of these are free I depend on the You Lean Meter because it is defiantly more sensitive to true peak readings. All the other meters will show exactly what you set you brick wall limiter to but the You Lean always catches microscopic overs. Example. Brick wall set for -1.0 db All meters/ analyzers including Cakewalk will show -1.0 db. You Lean will show -0.8 or even -0.6 db. The paid version is worth it's weight in gold. And I use it on not just masters but everything I do, including my Tutorials for You Tube. The paid version allows Drag and Drop of any audio or movie files. in seconds you have your LUFS and the true peak reading. You only need one instance on a project. I always have it on the master bus but I can drag and drop any of the audio track in the project to it. I will drag and drop my guitar and vocal tracks as I work to analyze what the loudness is. Loudness tells you a lot more than peak does. You can have a vocal track that shows it's almost over but the LUFS are only -20db. A quick search for the peaks that are causing this, pull them down, and now the same track without a compressor is at -16db LUFS. Add a compressor and push it even more. Other real good analyzers I like, All are free from Plugins4free Analista MAnalyzer. Vox in go has a few, Span, Correlometer dpMeter5 Krame MS Meter mvMeter VU2 ISOL8 - this is a new one for me and has become a favourite.

You master bus output should say Focusrite. It looks like it's going no where.

Presonus Drivers Not Recognized by Cakewalk
John Vere replied to fret walker's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I hate to mention this again but if you did follow the step by step instructions you would have had your ASIO device working a long time ago. Starting at 4:00 minutes. Is the Presonus the audio device as shown? If not then you go to the next step where you disable all other devices. If the Presonus is not on the list of available devices then the driver is not properly installed. Starting at 7:45 Minutes. As I show if there is a wrong ASIO driver showing ( you obviously will see realtek) then I show you how to delete it in the REG EDIT App. If my video is not clear enough please let my know an I will do something to fix that. I found out that many people don't actually watch the whole videos, one person said they were in the habit of watching in 3x speed. I made the video because there are many people who seem to have issues and it will always be because the have bad ASIO drivers on their system because lots of You tubes tell them to install asio4all etc. -
Presonus Drivers Not Recognized by Cakewalk
John Vere replied to fret walker's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
So how can Windows recognize a driver you say you disabled and if you did follow the video uninstall the Realtek ASIO driver in the RegEdit? If there’s no Realtek ASIO driver then selecting ASIO in Cakewalk would only have one choice. Your interface. -
recording with Autotune and input monitoring
John Vere replied to Jordi's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I’ve never had a problem with audio for along time now. -
I used to have a video on this topic. But the the magic trick was get the first song sounding the way you want it. then- SAVE A MIX RECALL. Make sure each song was a SAVE AS like scook recommended above to it's own project folder. Now open the second song and drag and drop the mix recall saved from project 1 to project 2 right into the track pane. Boom, all the mix settings and EQ and effects are added. There will be a mix recall folder in project 1. Open that in the browser. Mix recall can be shared by projects that are exactly the the same layout. So perfect for live recordings.

If you watch the video you would have solved your problem by now. -
recording with Autotune and input monitoring
John Vere replied to Jordi's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Not sure this is necessary. It seems since introduced many years ago the Windows protection system has been one of the least invasive systems to audio. There are just a few tweaks the recommend like disabling scanning Cakewalk stuff. But I've personally never tried that. I most certainly want it working when I download free 3rd party plug ins and midi files! -

John Vere replied to Jordi's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
In a way yes but you said That actually confused me. I think you made a typo and meant to say ASIO device. Not driver. The op was looking for a setting that doesn’t exist ? Since the beginning of time many of us have always disabled the computers audio system to avoid conflicts. On my main DAW I didn’t even install the driver for it when I rebuild it. But windows update screwed that up one day. Generally the majority of people simply install the ASIO drivers and never even have to think about anything else. And even thought it probably doesn’t matter I always set The sample and bit depth in Windows to match my interfaces settings. Just as you are advising. That seems to work for me when sharing other apps with Cakewalk running.
