Thanks Canopus, but the space is where my last name was. I took it out in the word processing of this forum, for privacy. It's not there in Cakewalk.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. This is what I see across from "Templates: C:\Users\David \AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core" Is "roaming significant? thanks, David

Hi, When I go to start a new project there aren't templates for which to choose. Any Ideas on retrieving them. I must have inadvertently made them unavailable. Thanks, David

OK....Hey, thanks so much for your time and expert knowledge. I really appreciate it! Kawika

Thanks....that all made perfect sense! And, if I were to use a "simple (video) editor" for my relatively basic needs, what would you recommend? Per "For what you are asking, you could also do the video work in a simpler editor"

OK....this makes sense: " I edit the video as needed in a video sled, export as HD AVI (or Mpg4), import into a DAW, then score to picture. Mix & export audio back to video sled, then post it up to the director & music coordinator at the movie production house." My purposes are pretty pedestrian. I am just putting together short, live band vignettes to garner future dates at clubs. Agents and club owners only want to hear shorts. So, it seems to me, (1) I could edit my video in a video software program, which in my case is also audio. Then save as MPg4. (2) Then import that video/audio file into Cakewalk to use my audio plug ins. Will Cakewalk accept my edited video? If so, (3) I can then export as a Mpg4 thereby editing both video and audio. Is that right?

Hey Thanks. Don't some of the video programs "find" my plug ins (e.g., Sound Toys, Waves etc)?

I just found Cyberlink Power Director 13 on one of my computers; apparently, I bought it 10 years ago. Perhaps that has what I need?

Thanks for the info on Davinci Resolve. I appreciate it and will check it out, now! By-the-way, I don't mind paying 2-300.00 if need be, for an intuitive easy to learn program. Really, the only thing I'll be doing video-wise is cutting, moving, and cross-fading. Hmmmmm, As I think about, it would be cool to zoom in after-the-fact at the editing stage; though , I don't know if that's possible. Thanks

OK....Video editor not DAW....got it. Regarding VideoStudio Pro: Will it recognize my 3rd party (e.g., SoundToys) audio plugins that Cakewalk recognizes? Also, anyone else recommend a Video editor that will allow me to use my 3rd party audio plugins. VideoStudioPro sounds like a great deal....just asking. thanks Kawika

I would like to import live shows recorded on an iphone and edit the video i.e., cherry pick sections of songs while using my audio plug ins (e.g., compression , eq verb). Anyone know of a good DAW for that application? Thanks, Kawika

Thanks RBH!

Wow, bitflipper and SirWilly!!! Thanks for all the work-arounds. I have been working on this problem for the last 2 days, 4hours per day. It was very frustrating because of the intermittent nature of the problem: That is, sometimes just playing and/or recording for a full 2 minutes without incident and sometimes the problem happened after 2 notes/events. I did spray -dust the wheel. Anyway I contacted Novation and we will see what they have to say. Between your plentiful suggestions (thanks again guys/gals) and Novation support, I 'm confident the problem will be solved if only for buying a new controller. In the mean time, I found my old 2-octave-midiman Oxygen8 in my garage. Surprisingly, I was able to locate a Legacy driver. It works great! I can finally do some music, today. Thanks again, Happy New year, Kawika

oops, I thought I had it. It will be fine for a few recordings and then suddenly jump up 1/4 tone. I checked event list and there is a pitch wheel notated at the point of departure. I tried using Automap unsuccessfully and am now using ACT.
