I haven't found a lot of information about this, so I'm not sure how to correct it.

I'm recording keyboard with MIDI. When I record the chords of the song and go from one chord to another, everything is fine. I play it back, and initially it's fine. Then I play it back again, and the sustain doesn't stop with the previous chord. One chord plays through the next, and it all sounds mixed together. I checked my sustain pedal, and that's not the issue. But I don't know what the issue is. Ideas?

Thanks for your help! Fixed the problem.

When I start a project, I set the tempo to whatever I want. But when the song plays, after a few seconds the tempo changes. It will change a couple of times during the song, even though I set the tempo at something different. How do I stop it from doing this?

I looked in Steinberg, and it wasn't there. I downloaded it to a couple of folders, but it didn't work. I ended up installing it in a folder (don't remember which one), and it shows up now in Cakewalk. Thanks!

I installed a free plugin called Valhalla Super Massive. I looked at where it would be installed on my computer, clicked Install . . and I can't find it. I chose 64-bit VST 2.4 plugin when I installed it. I rescanned VST plugins in Cakewalk several times, but it doesn't come up. Can't find it on the computer. I installed it twice. I would appreciate any help . . .

Thanks, Nigel. I appreciate it!

This is after I export my song, correct?

Thanks, Nigel!

Thanks, John and Nigel.

John, this "kid" is in his 60's. lol I just never downloaded music onto my computer, so I don't know about iTunes, etc. I really don't listen to a lot of music, so I only have about a half dozen CD's. But I need reference tracks for mastering my songs. So I need to know how to rip songs from CD's or Amazon music - or whatever. I've never done it. Thanks

Yes, I saw the article by Izotope. Thanks. But I guess my question isn't coming across clearly. If I have a song that I want to use as a reference track, how do I make it into a reference track? For example, if I have a song on a CD that I want to use, how do I get it off the CD so I can use it ?

Let me see if I understand. I place a CD in my drive, then go to Cakewalk >File>Import Audio CD. That's it? Then I import whatever song from the CD I want into Cakewalk?

Thanks! But how do you get them from a CD? (Sorry for the stupid question.)

I see a lot of articles about the need for reference tracks, but I don't see anything that tells me how to get them. How do I get them? Thanks

The R was not enabled. Thanks again!

Thanks, guys! I appreciate it. Greg

When I add volume automation on a track, the line appears and I can adjust it. But when I play the song, no matter where I have the volume automation set (lower, higher), it stays the same volume. I tried it with pan, and it has the same problem. It stays where it is, even though I adjust it left or right. It's never done this before. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Greg

When I used Windows 7, my CPU meter was always low. Now that I've switched to Windows 10, the CPU/Performance meter is always half way, even on new projects. I've gone through my computer and disabled a lot of things. But the CPU is still high. Is there a way to lower it?

Chappel, it worked!! Thank you very much for your time and effort!

Chappel, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this! I did exactly what you did, but the plugins are nowhere to be found on my computer. When I follow the path, it leads me to a folder that says to install the plugins. I don't see the plugins. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it about 3 times at least. I will try it again. Thanks!!

Yes, I contacted them. They sent me a link to activate it. I emailed them back and told them that wasn't the issue, and I haven't heard back. So I thought I would try this forum. thanks

I've downloaded Plug And Mix's VIP Bundle. I unzipped it and installed it. But I don't see the plugins on my computer. It says they're there. But when I follow the link to where it says they are, I come to the folder that says I need to download it. No plugins. I tried it more than once, and still I don't see the plugins anywhere. I've scanned and rescanned my VSTs in Cakewalk, but they're not there. Suggestions?

Great. Thanks!

One last question. When I turn off Power Management, do I go through the whole list and turn it off in everything? Or are there only specific ones I do?
