I use Mega for backing up my projects. I've only got about 20GB of data though (most of my tracks are MIDI based). This ensures that not only are my projects backed up, I can easily sync between my house PC and my studio PC. The way I do it is: - My main project directory is on one drive (E:\SEQUENCE) - I've got a copy of this directory on another drive (F:\Projects) which is used to sync to Mega - this is important... you can't have the cloudsync accessing files at the same time as Cakewalk. - At the end of a session - I run a batch file which copies any changed files in my main project directory to my sync directory. I then let Mega do its sync. - Before I start a session - I run a different batch file that copies any files that are newer from the sync directory to my project directory My end of session batch file (copy to cloud) ROBOCOPY E:\SEQUENCE F:\Projects\SEQUENCE *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY E:\PICTURE F:\Projects\PICTURE *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY E:\TEMPLATES F:\Projects\TEMPLATES *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY E:\WAVEDATA F:\Projects\WAVEDATA *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT My beginning of session batch file (copy from cloud) ROBOCOPY F:\Projects\SEQUENCE E:\SEQUENCE *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY F:\Projects\PICTURE E:\PICTURE *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY F:\Projects\TEMPLATES E:\TEMPLATES *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT ROBOCOPY F:\Projects\WAVEDATA E:\WAVEDATA *.* /XO /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT Note: The flags passed to ROBOCOPY make sure only the changed files are copied over.

Personally I've not had any issues with TTS-1, but then I don't use it that often. Most reports we've heard of TTS-1 instability has been when adding it to an already busy project. I think the general advice is, if you're going to use TTS-1, make sure you add it first.

Have you tried setting this option within Kontakt? It solved all of my CPU load issues with it:

This is how I do it:

The most common reason for this is running Cakewalk as administrator. Windows disables drag/drop behaviour for the administrator account as a security measure. You shouldn't need to run Cakewalk as administrator - the only time when you do is when you first use some older Cakewalk plugins which access protected areas of the registry (sorry, I forget which ones are affected) - however once those keys are created, you should be good to run Cakewalk as the current user.

I think this was Cakewalk v2.01 for Windows... just badly labelled. Did Windows 2 ever actually get released/used? I used Windows 1.0 for about 1/2 hour... it crashed on Solitaire! So I promptly uninstalled. I did use Windows 3.0 for a while before Windows 3.11 came out tho. Windows 1.0 kinda reminded me of this:

FWIW- I've just tried uploading a project now, and it's working for me. I had to update BandLab Assistant though - make sure you download the latest directly from the website. The Update button didn't work for me. Oh, and you probably know this, but BandLab Assistant needs to be running and logged in when you do the export.

I've seen this occasionally and raised a ticket with BandLab. Before you do anything, shut down BandLab assistant, download the latest from their website, and install that. Then try again. If it's still not working, send an email to support@bandlab.com

The overlap threshold only applies to arranger drag operations, and delete. Normal cut/copy/paste are unaffected... else it'd get far too confusing, as it's a deliberate arranger operation.

For trailing notes: If none of the notes end within the section end time + overlap threshold, then the notes will be split at the end of the section. However if one or more notes end within the section end time + overlap threshold, then any other notes after the threshold will be cropped at the threshold limit. Clips cannot be slipped on a note by note basis, so it keeps as much of the note duration as it can. For leading notes: Leading notes that start before the overlap threshold, but end after the section start + threshold will be cropped at the section start. It's worth pointing out though, that although the logic does its best to ascertain which sections notes belong to, it cannot possibly get it right every time. There's no way an algorithm can work out the musical intent of your notes. The larger you make your overlap threshold, the more you should expect to have to tweak the clips afterwards. Personally, I keep my threshold at a tiny amount - i.e. 1/64, 1/128 or 1/256. We did discuss more verbose methods of associating notes to sections, such as being able to individually assign notes to a section. In this case, it'd probably get it right every time, but it would be an arduous task for the user to pick these notes on a note by note basis. So we went with a threshold.

I did look into this. The issue isn't with Cakewalk, it's with Windows not notifying Cakewalk. Sometimes I can wait around 20secs to a minute before Windows finally recognises the devices have changed. When Windows does notify Cakewalk of device changes, you get a popup dialog right away. Until Windows actually acknowledges the device exists, a refresh button isn't going to help.

Are you looking for a library pre-canned phrases, or just a library that can do a good rock solo guitar sound? If it's pre-canned phrases you're looking for, I'm not aware of any (if anyone does know of any - please let me know!!) You'll probably have more luck at producer loops or a similar loop library provider, where they have a bunch of "toolkit" type samples you can drag into your project and manipulate. However, they're not cheap, and IMO they're very limited in scope. The best results I've had for guitar solos, believe it or not, is from Band In a Box. [EDIT] - Just found one!! : https://www.wesoundhuman.com/collections/kontakt/products/rock-starter-pack it's half price at $49 atm.

You may be able to drag/drop the tracks from SONAR to Cubase (or just export the tracks from SONAR and import them into Cubase) Other than that, there's no conversion program I know of to convert SONAR projects to Cubase.

One the Melodyne trial period is over, you can no longer save edits. The Cakewalk functions that leverage Melodyne, such as Audio to MIDI and Tempo Extraction will continue to work however. Upgrading to Melodyne Essentials, or one of the other versions will allow you to make edits and save them. Certain functionality is limited however in the cheaper versions. The Celemony website details the differences.

There's two functions that do that: Bank Up/Bank Down - move the current track by banks of 8 Channel Up/Channel Down - move the current track by 1 I've checked the code, and the MackieControl is correctly interpreting the HUI versions of those buttons, so you'll just need to make sure they're correctly assigned on the DM2000. I don't think there's anything in MackieControl.dll that would deal with that. However, you could use AZController on that port to map the messages to anything you want - it's complex, but very flexible. @azslow3 has just released a new version today which works better with the 2020.01 release of CbB. The community at http://www.azslow.com/index.php should be able to help you with set up.

CbB does not support sending Sysex to VSTi's.

An explanation of what is going on here: 1. The Clips are being rippled by the amount of "clip" that was removed, rather than the whole section extent. This was an old bug. This has now been fixed and will be available in the next update. 2. The notes being deleted is expected due to the size of the overlap threshold (1/4 note) - i.e. as the notes overlap the section end by < 1/4 note, they're being included with the section when it's deleted. Setting a lower threshold amount (or turning it off), splits the notes as expected.

yes.

No, it's not face in/out - splitting & crossfading does the following (assuming a 5ms crossfade): Splits the clips at the split point (creating two exact copies of the clip, but slip-edited at the split point - i.e. the left clip's end is now at the split point, and the right clip's start is now at the split point). Slip edits the right of the left clip by 5ms, and adds a fade out of 5ms. Slip edits the left of the right clip by 5ms, and adds a fade in of 5ms. I'd recommend using the default 5ms as this works pretty well, but it's really down to taste.

@marled - can you PM me your project so I can try to work out what's going on with the ripple?

This is how "big" auto crossfades should be:

@AdK Studios - can you retry automation with the latest hotfix? Please let us know if you're still having problems with this. We're aware of the "Show Clip Outlines" issue in the Tungsten theme (Mercury theme doesn't have this issue). I'll try to get it bumped up the to-do list. I'll discuss the other issues with the team.

This has been implemented in the latest hotfix:

Turn the ProChannel off, do the freeze, turn it back on again.
