Trying to drag & drop midi from Monarch Kit in Kontakt 8 into Sonar but does not work

Ive seen it done by streamers who are using other DAWs and the Monarch GUI tells you to do this

Is there a setting 

I was wrong . . . . . . 

For some reason you have to chagne the drum map to GM for the midi to play back correctly

Who knew ... well me obviously

Midi files imported from 'The Monarch Kit into CbyB are playing the wrong kit piece/articulation

Is a Midi Drum map required to fix this issue

If yes any ideas where I could get one

Used touchdaw in the past but couldnt get the free one to work .

I was mainly using it to input different CC data for orchestral libraries

Is there any alternative??

Brave kindly generated this when asked the above question . . . 

Method 1: Global Setting

Go to Preferences > Customization > Plugin Settings.

Scroll down to the Instrument section.

etc .......

The customization section has no 'Instrument' section !

How is this done in CbyB ?

Thanks for answering !

Excellent .....

I tried ALT as well as CTRL when scrolling with the mouse button but wasnt aware of a keyboard option....

Thanks

Chrome, Brave & Edge

Brave is my preferred browser so Ill see If I can find out how its done

There's an area between the  Track and Clips pane that shows differently depending on track type.

 You can left click on this and move up and down to Zoom in and out of the clip also double clicking on this area on an Audio track restorse back to some sefaul.

My question is can this action be performed on multiple audio tracks at the same time ?

I dont think this is a 'Me' issue as I've tried on multiple  PC's and browsers ..... but who knows ????

The online documentation  has no images in it  ..... sort of

https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Introduction.24.html

There's a place holder where the image should be  and if you right click and select 'Load Image' option nothing happens but if you select the 'Open in New Tab' option the image is downloaded and displayed

As Marvin Gaye sang .... 'What's Going On'

Thanks for your time Jonathan

That worked a treat !!!

I've been using the process outlined in

http://forum.cakewalk.com/Startgt-New-From-Template-Custom-Icons-m3415439.aspx

To create Icons for templates Ive added  in the start screen 

Its not something I do often and when Ive tried it today its not worked.

Has the process changed or am I missing something else 

Just reinstalled  BBC S.O. Discover & downloaded Patrick Wichrowski's template. (thanks for the work Patrick)

Is there a resource for Orchestral Sample Library templates for Cakewalk ?

That in itself is an answer so I'll take it

I skimmed through through the 32  page thread but gave up !!!

I guess as it stands the answer is .... "We don't know "..... Suck it and see

Greetings...

So with the arrival of 'Next' & 'Sonar'  what will happen with CbyB

My understanding is that I will be able to continue to use CbyB as its already installed but say I get a new system will i be able to get access to the old CbyB installation files or is it at this point where a will have to look at paying for this software  ??

Thanks for any help . . .

If ive understood the countless DAW videos I've watched on YT then More cores is better if your composing Orchestral or Hybrid orchestral music and Single core speed is much more important for  other types of music 

Am I right in assuming the I5 is the better option (I generally write songs in the 'Any other type of music' category 

i5-13500 Processor, 14 P Cores , 6 E Cores,  Pcore Base Frequency  2.5 GHz

i7-12700 Processor, 6 P Cores,  8 Ecores, PCore Base Frequency  2.1 Ghz

So what is the better for music production 

i5-13500 Processor, 14 P Cores , 6 E Cores,  Pcore Base Frequency  2.5 GHz

i7-12700 Processor, 6 P Cores,  8 Ecores, PCore Base Frequency  2.1 Ghz

Its a moot point if purchasing from Chillblast as their music production PC only offers the i5

I'm based in UK and looking for a reasonable site/company to build this for me  . . . . any suggestions

Thanks for all your  thoughts chaps

Historically the stuff ive written in the past would fall into the '24-track song-writing demos' category (20 ish VST instrument )  but in the last year Ive written a few 'Orchestral ' tracks (30  kontakt)  instruments all on a 6th Gen  I-7

I just want to have a better machine than I currently have.

So if my old system can deal with what Ive already done then a new one should be a great improvement

The question then becomes do I do What Jack did and buy the biggest CPU I can but rarely use it to full capacity ? ..... or

or go the I-7 route which will be less costly !!

I have a fair number of questions but don't know where to start...?

I'll put some context  here though . 

I am about to retire and fancy a newer Windows based PC  to make music with.

I will only be recording myself so my needs are modest compared to some.  And whilst it would be nice to have 13th gen i9  64 mb ram etc  my first question is what's going to suit my needs

But a little more specificity to my questions

What cpu should I start with 

Watched a 'Creative Sauce' you tube video on this topic

Can this be applied to 'Guitar Rig'

I assume that there would have to be a 'Global' wet/dry mix option but havent found it yet

Or ..... can this be done some other way ?

O u t s t a n d i n g !!!

Not sure why opening the midi file from the file menu worked when importing  didn't but I'll take it

Cheer !

Cakewalk isnt as good at detecting  audio file tempos than Cubase is.... (Don't hate me !)

I have used Cubase to extract tempos from an audio file (City To City by Gerry Rafferty) but cant get it into CbyB

My first choice was to export midi but although midi note data is imported from Cubase the tempo information isn't showing

Cubase can export a tempo map but I think its only readable by Cubase (.SRT) 

Is there a way to achieve this . . . ?

Thanks for the replies guys

Its not headphone bleed.. Im just recording a Sire S7 S type guitar at present... the mic dosent even have phantom power on and so cant be active

I'm using a focusrite  2i2 (2nd gen) and CbyB is 2021.09 build 145 

Greetings.

The title says it all ..

Its very low  in volume and wasnt noticeable till I soloed the track and listened to the the Lead in to the track

Not sure how thats even possible ??

Any suggestions

Thanks
