I bet you have Zero Controllers When Play Stops enabled in the project. The zeroing often sets synth controls to 0 killing volume (by setting filters to 0hz, etc). It's a per-project setting and is most likely wrong in all your templates too, so you either have to edit every template or remember to turn it off when starting a new project. There are lots of threads on this endless topic. Fixing your project now involves figuring out what synth parameter went to zero and restoring it. Sometimes you can just reload a preset to get the correct setting back. Then with the zero controllers option off you should be ok.

Is the audio watermark showing up in the files before you uploaded them to this service? Or are the files you uploaded clean? In which case someone or some process on the other side ran your audio through one of the AVS4you audio editors and saved the file out, adding the watermark. If the audio files you are generating have the watermark in them, then work backwards to figure out which step in the process added the audio watermark. In theory it would be possible for bad software to install replacement codecs that could cause every audio file you output to have a water mark. Though that seems a little extreme.

Arturia has more than once played the limited upgrade special card and then later offered a better deal. I'm waiting.

If I do this I don't get a hang, it just takes a very long time to process a tiny (4 bar) audio clip then when it comes back the audio engine is completely borked. It won't stay on and the play transport is all messed up. But it actually seems to depend on how you make the mono track, which may be why I didn't see it yesterday. If I start a blank project, add an audio track with the + button and select the left channel of my audio input to make a mono track, if you look in the track inspector the Interleave is stereo. If you toggle that to mono before you do the bounce, it seems to work fine. But if you leave it set to stereo it goes off the rails. All the tests I did before I toggled the interleave as part of making the mono track.

I got Anthology during some Xmas special they ran, but to be honest I don't think I've ever used it for anything other than tests. These separate versions don't seem all that different. I think they improved some things but it's all kind of minor. Stuff I'd never notice. They did do an update to Anthology strings, version 1.2, you have to open a support ticket to get it. Not sure what changed in that either. For $8 I figured I'd be foolish not to also get these, but right now they are mostly just a waste of disc space. If I had no string libraries and a full copy of Kontakt and wanted some Violins or Cellos for pop/rock type stuff I think these at $48 are great deals. But if you need the full strings section and are looking at $192, I'm not so sure this is the package you want.

Turn off the Autoplay button in the lower right corner of UVIWorkstation. Looks like a Loop around a play symbol. On loops there are two autoplay buttons. The one at the bottom of the UI for the loop is what controls the autoplay of the loop, not the one at the top in the transport section.

I think they are only free if you own Anthology Strings and bought one of the four volumes (for $8 with a coupon you can get from 8dio). I sent them a support ticket when the Violins came out, they sent me the coupon and I've gotten a coupon for each release to get it for free. If you own Anthology Strings and want these send them a ticket, you should be able to get the entire collection for $8. But if you don't own Anthology Strings just the earlier Adagio products they are doing the $28 coupon, but that's for each volume (you should have gotten coupons for each one you own). Yes, it's crazy complicated.

Please update this thread if you learn more. Switching to using only stereo plugins is a good work around (and may be the best that can be done) but software shouldn't crash and it shouldn't hang, if it is, then figuring out why and (hopefully) getting it fixed will help everyone. Good luck.

I couldn't reproduce it either, tried several mono Waves plugins. Perhaps it's something to do with the audio interface he's using? If Cakewalk hanging is reproducible, a crash dump could be generated which might tell what exactly was hanging. Here's a post that tells you how to make the crash dump using the task manager: If you generate a crash dump of the hung Cakewalk and put it on the net it so it can be downloaded itwould be easy for some of us to look at and tell you exactly what is hanging.

Native Instruments made it way too difficult for non-Player instruments to use snapshots. You end up having to give the user crazy directions (that they never can follow) or you have to write installers (which isn't hard but doing it for both Mac and Windows is a very high burden). So until they change how Kontakt and snapshots work I suspect the pile of .nki presets is going to stay around.

They are using Amazon CDN for file storage and so where you are actually directed to depends on your geolocation (and who knows what else). So I suspect they have something configured badly that only effects people in some countries/etc.

I get the same failure message. I'm sure they will sort it out.

Ask Video (which is also the same content as MacProVideo , SOS Tutorials and most likely a few others due to NonLinear Educating Inc. syndication ) has a handful of newer Cubase 10 videos (made by Matthew Hepworth). I've watched two of them (I have a year SOS Tutorials sub) they are decent but if your goal is learning all of Cubase each of them is pretty narrow (I'm sure they want you to buy a subscription). They have coverage of older Cubase too, but a lot of it has changed so much I'm not sure how useful it is. The courses on scoring and scoring to picture even though done with Cubase 8 seem useful. To be honest I've gotten more out of Steinberg's YouTube videos than any of the online courses I've watched so far.

I got VV1 during the great $99 Musician's Friend super deal back in 2015, so I'm way ahead of the game, but I just can't seem to understand this $199 upgrade price . It looks like all you get is 7 new synths (one of which I own stand alone). This upgrade is twice what I think it's worth ($99) and that is with this special offer. When that offer ends the price goes to 3 times what I think it's worth. I feel the same way about Arturia upgrade. These large collections (I love complete/large bundles) seem to have real pricing problems especially with upgrades. It must be tough for these companies since they are in a hard spot between the individual prices and the collection prices. Maybe I'm just wrong here and the price inflation isn't crazy, but for that much I'm going to buy a whole new product from someone else rather than re-buy something I mostly already have.

That finishes another EzKeys MIDI 6-pack. Maybe I should buy a 6-pack of 6-packs. lol. Looks like there are new updates to Orchestral Percussion SDX also.

Hiss in plugins can often be copy protection, do you have the license (iLok) for Antares Microphone Modeler? Might want to check the iLok License Manager.

Electronic EZX is actually pretty nice, one of my favorite EZX's. If you have any interest in these types of sounds (lots of 8-bit/video game hits/etc and drum machines) this is worth getting. Works well in Superior Drummer 3 too, even has nicer UI than most EZX's.

If you bought the Adagio Violins check your email for a unique to you coupon before you buy this. Says the coupon expires fast (48 Hours) so don't miss out. Edit: Blog post perhaps explaining the crazy coupon (which may only apply to people that bought Violins as an $8 upgrade from Anthology, like I did) https://8dio.com/2019/05/20/adagio-anthology-owners/

Melodyne Essential has never been free, but it has been bundled with lots of products over the years. Including paid versions of SONAR. Now that CbB is free there isn't a version of Melodyne included (since it would most likely require Bandlab to pay Melodyne per copy).

The crossgrade license is just a discount, the license looks exactly like a normal Cubase license. So you could re-sell it, but doing that requires shipping your dongle (or a extra dongle you purchase to transfer just the license you want to sell, if your dongle has multiple licenses). Steinberg has a resale wizard to walk you through all the cases. But here's the page that describes selling Cubase 10 Pro on a eLicenser by itself: https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/knowledgebase_new/resale_wizard_software/registered/usb_elicenser/single_license.html

Just fair warning, solid state type drives can/do fail/lose data too. Doesn't have to spin to fail.

It comes with 660 MIDI files of Epic/Trailer style percussion. Single playable instruments as well as a loop player. They used to have a working demo version that was pretty nice (but I can't seem to find it anymore, so that may not help you very much). I was planning to buy it at a full price but their shop kept wanting to charge me VAT and Time&Space's check out insisted it needed to be shipped, so it fell off my radar. I think it's worth $11.55 (my final price after Paypal currency games) -- assuming you already have full Kontakt and need epic drums. If you ignore the price I think the sound is pretty good and the rhythms (the MIDI files match the loops played with the instruments so you can re-sequence them) are very usable. The only thing wrong with it is VSTBuzz is making you use this Pulse downloader http://www.pulsedownloader.com

Have you registered the eLicenser on your account? I have a tab for eLicensers that shows my eLicensers (the dongle and a computer with nothing on it) and a tab with software that shows all the software (and those entries list the eLicenser it's on). If that's not right you may want to contact them.

And it makes a directory with a crazy quote sign as part of the name. Which I think is a mistake. I was able to rename it but I don't think they are testing much on Windows. But I got this for less than $12 USD which isn't too bad (I had been wanting it for a little while but Audiority has always been a bit flakey).

I own Volume 2 but for some reason their website only show an upgrade price from Summit Audio Grand Channel ($449). Don't think I'm getting a customized deal there. Good news is you no longer need Gobbler, they have their own installer. Bad news their own installer is alpha on Windows. It seemed to work for me and updated all my Volume 2 plugins (that were installed with Gobbler, which I've now uninstalled and will never bother with again). Doesn't seem to allow you any control over where things are installed though or what things. The help says it gets the locations from the system registry (which is always a crap shoot). You can also download individual installers (from the website or the new Softube Central app) and run those. Which might be better if you don't want the ProTools plugins/etc. Volume 3 adds four new plugins: Parallels, Harmonics, OTO Biscuit, and Transient Shaper. Will have to see what the actual upgrade price from Volume 2 is, but I may just pass. One nice thing the TSAR-1R reverb includes the ProChannel version if you are still using CbB/SONAR.
