Good stuff thanks for that -
How do I move my projects to a new PC
RICHARD HUTCHINS replied to RICHARD HUTCHINS's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Now it is starting to sink in. Like an idiot I didn't realise you could slide the menu open and reveal all of the other settings. (Thats my level of competence sadly) so I changed it from master to focus rite and all worked fine. Is there a quick way to change all tracks to focus rite rather than one by one? -

Thanks all for taking the time to answer and doing screenshots. There is a little bit of delay between me seeing this and my brain working out what to do so I will work through it tonight! -

Hello again, I've have transferred a new project from old laptop to my new version of Cakewalk on my new PC thanks. But somethings wrong, I have a "silent bus" message and no sound. There seems to be no way of assigning the output to my scarlett focusrite as the drop down has gone...sounds to me like something simple?? -
THU effects not heard until guitar is recorded
RICHARD HUTCHINS replied to RICHARD HUTCHINS's topic in Instruments & Effects
Two in an hour!! So simple when u know how...thanks!! -
Hi all When I add a guitar track to a song, I hear the guitar without effects even though I chose a sound using THU say californian blues etc using the THU plugin. I play it back and the guitar sound I want is there, which is nice but how do I get it to alter the guitar sound as I play along and record say a lead solo. The twangy unaltered sound is somewhat uninspiring as I overdub the lead or the chords of a song.

Adding fills to existing AD2 drum track?

Thanks Guys, as usual very helpful, I'll try these methods out. Steep learning curve! -
Adding fills to existing AD2 drum track?
RICHARD HUTCHINS replied to RICHARD HUTCHINS's topic in Instruments & Effects
Cheers I will give this a try. How do you find where to delete the fill part? Use piano roll or something? ( I am a novice!) -
Hi I have a song with a basic addictive drums track on it, and there are parts that need a fill pasting in. If I just drop the fill onto that part of the track it doubles up and I get both drum sounds. How do I fit the fill in to replace what is below it? Rich

Addictive drums 2 cannot be heard
RICHARD HUTCHINS replied to RICHARD HUTCHINS's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Thanks for this...I've just noticed a crafty " not installed" banner at the top corner of the standalone version. Odd as I went through the process of downloading it and signed in with my account details. So it looks like I've made yet another schoolboy error...I'm now going to figure out what I didnt do..Doh! -

Addictive drums 2 cannot be heard

it was set for "direct sound" So I changed this to ASIO... no joy. Tried Windows Sound...nothing. see screenshot... -
Hi I am transfering over to a new PC. Lots of problems, but mostly solved with help from this forum! I used the downloaded installer to download AD2 to my new PC. However I cant hear it in Cakewalk through headphones, and I cant even get it to make a sound when using the standalone AD2 through my Windows (10) Realtek speakers either. So it seems to be an AD2 problem rather than a Cakewalk problem? I've also e mailed the makers but these can take a good while to get an answer so I thought perhaps someone knew a way forward?
-
Thanks, I'll remember comments on troubleshooter working behind the scenes. As I move forward I keep hitting issues, but each time it happens I learn how to move , ( obviously after asking here!) Basic question but Whats a Bus by the way? And how is it re pointed? I have a new query regarding VST plugins addictive drums but I think it best to post under a separate topic.

Hi, Okay, some progress; I tried changing the USB connection to a different one. Up came the drivers correctly found and assigned by Cakewalk! Now then, this is a new PC so I doubt its a duff connection on the tower, perhaps plug and play just woke up? ( Thats my technical description) So if its not broken lets not fix it, seems like this worked. I closed it all down and opened it all up and this time the drivers were still there. I do get one error message saying that a silent bus is detected ( see screenshot) but I dont know what that means!Nor how to correct it. But I think my days of crossing fingers are numbered and I need to get these things things fixed, or they'll come back to bite me...

Hi, First, thanks for a comprehensive reply. I only just got this PC so I havent loaded anything else, I want to keep it dedicated to recording. So no malware programs. ( Unless Windows Defender counts?) I just reinstalled the drivers and tried again. Same result, nowhere to be seen. I find it easier to attach screenshots rather than explain, they show the status of my administrator privileges, I cant see anything going on here?
-
Okay, So I reinstalled the Focusrite usb drivers, the wizard worked and it restarted the PC. But this time, still nothing, no drivers to be seen in Cakewalk preferences so nothing to select. Last time I did this the drivers were there...and Cakewalk found them.I dont think I've done anything different to install drivers but for the life of me I cannot see where they are or how to get CW to "find" them...
-
Hi I open Cakewalk...no drivers. I then close it and reboot the PC, no drivers. I have the drivers on my download folder, as exe files which I run. First time I do this they can be seen under preferences in Cakewalk. I set them up and all is fine. Next time I open the PC...all are gone.... back to square one. Cakewalk sees no devices or drivers, I cant even select anything. see screenshot. This is a custom built PC just for cakewalk. The sound seems to come from the monitor for example if I play tunes on youtube etc. I dont think realtec is available as it is normally on a laptop? The" intel display audio" is the default device under playback...is this the monitor speaker? Hope this is clearer , I am not being deliberately obtuse I'm just struggling with stuff I dont understand.

OK, tea has arrived biscuits eaten. Here we go; I cant remember the error message when the system crashed, I tried looking at the error logs ( screenshot attached) but its way over my head and means nothing. Next time I will write it down instead of cursing. The screenshot shows the first error message saying no audio in Cakewalk. Preferences show no drivers so the focusrite drivers which I downloaded have simply disappeared. No input drivers, output says 2470W Intel R display audio. No playback timing master anymore. Playback and recording shows WASAPI shared.. means nothing to me. In control panel under sounds/playback it shows "speakers realtek not plugged in" See screenshots. Headphones are connected to the Focusrite box. I have no external speakers I used headphones. My next step is to try to reinstall the focusrite drivers again and see what happens. If they go missing once more I will post better details.
