Sounds like you've got Ripple Edit switched on:

What is being routed to Bus F? Does it have input echo on it, or does it have a high gain plugin on it (e.g. a guitar effects), or a plugin with analog modelling on it?

Normally the master fader should be set to whatever your Master Bus is, e.g.: This will control both L&R of a stereo bus. If it's set to Master, however, it'll control a master output - which is normally the Left output of your audio interface. This should give you a better idea of what this control is setting the MCU master fader to:

Only triggered events are sent out by clicking on them. Transforms are not, because there is nothing to "send out" - they transform MIDI data being played by the track before it reaches the VSTi. According to the Hollywood Orchestral Percussion manual, it does actually support key switches, so I recommend you consider using them instead.

@Czerwony lis - is there any reason why you're uninstalling Melodyne? Even with an expired trial version installed, it allows Cakewalk to do Audio to MIDI conversion by dragging an audio clip to a MIDI track & Tempo Extraction by dragging an audio clip to the timeline. If you uninstall Melodyne, you'll lose these features.

@Bill Phillips - we've identified the issue here (it has to do with the clip gain region crossing tempo change boundaries). It'll be fixed for the general release.

Setting up MIDI-OX is certainly not for beginners, and would probably involve adding at least loopback device as well to intercept the notes. It would be better for you to detail exactly how your keyboards are connected within your system, and go from there. Using keyboards which have their own internal sounds (e.g. SY77) brings an extra layer of complexity as you can easily get MIDI feedback problems. Some synths actually try to stop the feedback which, although is good in a way, confuses the matter because you don't always know the feedback is taking place - the result can be very similar to what you're describing. If you are sending MIDI back out to your SY77, then you need to either turn off MIDI echo within Cakewalk, or set Local Off on the SY77. Even doing this however, won't necessarily stop stuck sustain pedals. If you've stopped a project at a point where the sustain pedal event is down, or half way through a note playing, then it'll remain down/sounding after you've stopped. You need to either just press and release your physical pedal yourself, or make sure zero controllers on stop is enabled within preferences: You can also click the MIDI panic button... which is used 99% of the time for stuck notes / stuck sustain pedals! You mention that the stuck notes are random: - is this always when using the sustain and never when you're not, and does pressing and releasing your sustain pedal at this point fix it? - is it only when you've stopped playback halfway through a performance? - do you have zero controllers on stop enabled within preferences?

It looks like you might have several un-muted lanes with clips in them. The clip gain envelope is being applied to the top most clip only, but the waveform display is showing you the mix of all the clips together. You've two choices: - Do the clip gain on each individual lane. - Flatten the comp, and do it on the flattened lane only.

As I said before, this functionality will be in the next EA drop.

Ok, according to the manual (p 39 ) Notepad-8FX Using the Soundcraft USB Audio Control Panel for PC on the Soundcraft.com website, users can select the “Audio Routing” tab, to select the point in the console feeding the USB bus to computer. For Inputs 1+2, users can select from: Mic Inputs 1+2 Stereo Input 3+4 Stereo Input 5+6 Mix L+R USB return will come into the input channel 7+8, which is the channel where the USB-B connector is attached. This signal is summed with signal coming in the RCA 7+8 jacks, before proceeding down the input channel strip. So it looks like you've got yours set to Mix L+R.

You've not mentioned what audio interface you're using, so it's difficult to give you exact steps, but the gist of it is: Some audio devices offer the choice between just the recording what's coming through the line/mic input, or the "stereo mix" - the latter being a mix of what's being played as well as your audio input. You need to deselect the stereo mix option, and only use the audio input. This is done using whatever software comes with your audio device - it can't be done from within Cakewalk. If you're using an on-board device, you can do it within Windows itself:

You could manually enter the selection start time in the selection module? Note: The next EA drop will have some improvements for node selection cut/copy, so this will actually be a lot easier:

Don't use the select tool. Use CTRL + Left Click to individually select the nodes, or use right click to lasso the nodes.

The exported MIDI file does have the program changes. What is happening, is when you load the MIDI file (which is effectively an import), the first program change is automatically assigned to the track:

The original site this came from has unfortunately gone, but I've got a copy of it here: https://msmcleod.co.uk/cakewalk/Cakewalk Application Language Programming Guide.pdf

That's been fixed in the EA release.

What graphics drivers are you using? Not saying this is the issue, but I remember a while back I had issues with Jamstix and my laptop's NVIDIA card. Forcing Cakewalk to use the onboard Intel graphics completely solved it for me. Might be worth a try. You could also try running dxdiag ( Windows Key + R, type dxdiag, then press enter ) - this will show up any possible problems with your DirectX setup. If UJAM uses DirectX for graphics, any problems highlighted here might explain the crashes. But regardless, you should report it to UJAM.

Whenever I've used SONAR / Cakewalk for live arrangements, I've always used stereo mixdowns for each song, so I've essentially got one song per track staggered across the timeline. I'd been doing it this way since Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. Having audio only vastly reduces the amount of resources needed. What I'd do then is get all the levels more or less equal in Cakewalk, then record each song on to Minidisc and CDR as a backup. I was singing / playing guitar or bass at the time, so had no need for Cakewalk itself to be running (and I'd had bad experiences using computers live before going back to my Amiga days). However if you need to use Cakewalk itself live (e.g. because you're playing VSTi's), you can always add only those synths as separate tracks.

I use my Focusrite or RME in ASIO mode, and leave my Realtek device as the Windows sound device. Both are connected to my Mackie Big Knob Passive which I use to switch between the two if I need to watch something on Groove3 or YouTube. Luckily no ASIO drivers came with my Realtek device, so CbB doesn't even try to use it.

You have 6 aux sends and 4 sub-groups out on that mixer - that's 10 channels, so you should be able to use a combination of aux sends / bus sends to go to your 18i20.

Check the directory is set correctly within Preferences, and that directory actually contains your templates.

I think most of what you're requesting can already be done. As you've alluded to, you can create arrangements to create set lists based on the sections you have. The play mode can be based entirely on the arrangements (remember you can have as many arrangements in the project as you like) - i.e.: If you want to play a set list, click play on the arrangement (or you can start mid way through the list by clicking the play button on an arrangement section ) If you want to play a single song, just click on the play button in the sections pane Looping a song can be done by creating an arrangement with only that song in it, enabling arrangement looping, and pressing play What I would recommend is: Create a separate arrangement for each individual section Create any additional set list arrangements This will give you the maximum flexibility. RE: Tempo/Key Signature: All the arranger preview is doing is moving the now time around while playing, so as far as tempo/key signature are concerned... they HAVE to be set within the timeline - so it makes no sense to have a separate way of entering this. If you need a pause between songs, you can also insert an MCI command at the end of each song: You can then CTRL + click play on the arrangement play button to continue. I'm not sure how you would do the track focus / notation / lyrics... here are some suggestions though: For lyrics I've used Melda Production's MNotepad and automated the movement of its scrollbar, so that the current line is always shown at the correct place within the song. You can set the font to a pretty large one so it's easy to read. For notation, you could copy the various MIDI parts to a dummy MIDI track (perhaps as linked clips). As each song is in its own time region on the timeline, they shouldn't clash. You'd just open that track in the staff view, and it'd always show the notation for the current song.

First you need to add the instrument, which can either be done using the add track button: ... or by dragging the instrument from the browser to an empty space in the track view: Once you've done that, you need to set the output of your MIDI track to the input of the instrument you've inserted, e.g: Or alternatively, just hold down SHIFT and drag the MIDI clip from your existing track to the new instrument track. You can then delete your old MIDI track.

Normally you should use ASIO if its available, and IIRC a fresh install will choose ASIO if an ASIO driver is available. The Realtek ASIO driver is an anomaly - it amazes me that they would release a driver that doesn't even pass the most basic SDK tests. Ironically, some pro audio audio interfaces seem to have slightly worse WASAPI support, so WASAPI wouldn't be a good default choice for those devices.
