If you'd have asked me before 1974, I'd have said a trillion notes would always be longer in the UK... but then again, I might not have had too much of an opinion in 1974... If you're confused... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion

Slightly OT, but here's one thing I just found out about Melda plugins, which really impressed me... I was watching this: ... so I tried it out for myself using a 9.5Khz sine wave through a range of plugins, e.g. Waves, Softube etc. All of them exhibited the same behaviour shown in the video - I was getting frequencies popping up as low as 440Hz. However, ALL Melda productions have this upsampling facility: At 1x, I get the same artefacts as other plugins, but setting the up-sampling to 4x or more completely removes any of these artefacts. I don't know of many other plugins that have this facility.

You can if you use a common word-clock. But your interfaces need the facility to act as a clock master or slave, and have the appropriate interfaces. You need to designate one interface as your clock master and every other interface needs to slave to that. You can use a BNC word clock connection, SPDIF or ADAT, depending on what you have available. This is how things like the Behringer ADA8000, ADA8200 or Focusrite OctoPre work with other ADAT compatible interfaces. They share a common wordclock. I use the 2 x Yamaha i88x, a Yamaha 01X, a Behringer ADA8000, a Fostex VC-8 and a Focusrite 18i20 all together, with the Focusrite 18i20 being the clock master. The Behringer and Fostex get their clock input from the Focusrite's BNC output, one i88x uses either SPDIF or ADAT (depending on my patching needs), which propagates the clock to the other i88x & 01X via mLAN over firewire. Normally it's recommended to have an external wordclock device for so many devices, but I've not as yet had any sync problems so far using the 18i20 as the master. Using ASIO Link, I can record up to 64 simultaneous channels - though, I've never really tried anything beyond 32.

@James Argo is correct - if you need to use more than one interface, you can swap to WASAPI or WDM instead of ASIO. Alternatively, you could use ASIOLink which wraps up both your "main" ASIO interface, and the rest as WDM, presenting everything as ASIO to Cakewalk: Note however. In both cases, you'll need to ensure that the interfaces share a common word clock in order for them to stay in sync, otherwise you'll probably exhibit timing issues. Normally this is done using a wordclock connection, or connecting the digital output of one to the digital input of the other (either ADAT or SPDIF). Given that neither the AudioBox USB 96 or UR22 has these options, it may be difficult... unless ASIOLink can somehow cater for this internally.

Try: 1. Re-installing your 2i2 drivers, then 2. Delete %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\AUD.INI (Cakewalk will recreate this the next time it starts).

This could be an indication of a failing memory module. When it's random like this, it's really hard to track down.

Yes - it just means you have to click OK to close it. It can't update itself while it's running.

Actually, this is a really good idea. Even if the clip gain was tied to a normalization function, that would work really well. So you could "soft" normalize the signal to -3db, and it would automatically adjust the clip gain accordingly.

If you use Insert Track from the insert menu, or the Add Track button it'll add them to the end. If however, you using "Insert Audio Track" or "Insert MIDI Track" from the right click menu, it will insert the track immediately before the track you right clicked on. If you're not currently on a track and use the right click menu, it'll add it to the end. [Edit] - once you've done that, you can then right click and select "Duplicate Track" where you can get it to duplicate it a number of times. So say you needed 5 extra tracks between track 3 & 4: right click on track 4, select "Insert Audio Track" right click on the "new" track 4 and select "Duplicate Track" and enter 4 in the repetitions.

Yeah, I use VLC on all my machines - Mac, Windows & Linux. It just works for the vast majority of stuff.

That doesn't sound right. When you say it's telling you there's a new version, where exactly does it say this? The reason I ask, is there's two things in play here: 1. The version of BandLab Assistant - normally if there's a new version of this, it tells you right away once you start it up. You should ALWAYS make sure this is up to date, as this is what authorises your copy of Cakewalk, and ensures the correct version is downloaded. The current version of BandLab Assistant is v5.0.4. If you click on the gear icon at the top left, the version number will appear at the bottom of the screen: 2. The version of Cakewalk - Notifications for updates only appears on the Apps tab under the Cakewalk logo:

There's a link to Understand on the right hand side:

It's also really useful when using plugins are particularly sensitive to gain staging. Being able to normalize to a known level that works well with a particular plugin / preset makes life a lot easier.

If you've got a real Mackie MCU or MCU Pro, you can map the function keys to the screen sets.

This is so true!!!

hmm - not much to go on there unfortunately. I'd contact support@cakewalk.com - they may want you to follow some instructions to get more info for them. Before you do that though, check Windows Defender, One Drive and any other virus checker/cloud sync software has those directories excluded.

Most people use this as a free sampler: https://www.tx16wx.com/ There's a paid for version too with more options. I'm not sure how good it is for drums specifically though.

Actually, SampleRobot does it really easily - you just add the controllers / value ranges you want to capture.... but it would be complete madness to try!

Maybe this is some weird behaviour with DrBeat, but if you've got a separate instance of DrBeat on track 1 then the effects on track 1 should only affect that track. Track 2 hasn't got any effects, so it shouldn't get any effects. Have you tried using a different instrument to check whether it's just DrBeat that exhibits this behaviour? I guess a workaround might be to create some new buses - get DrBeat #1 to send to the first bus, and DrBeat #2 to the second bus, then put the effects on the buses instead... but I can't see how this could possibly be happening. Are you sure there's not any internal effects in DrBeat that is making you think it's the plugins in Track 1 affecting Track 2?

Probably the easiest and quickest way would be to add blank tracks to pad out each group to eight. If you go down the route of using lenses or screensets to hide tracks, it'll get really confusing.

Just expand the take lanes, and one will be created for you automatically. If you need more, just click on the + sign:

You could probably do it - that is, if you don't mind using 10GB of samples on the one instrument! The number of samples goes up exponentially every time you add a new controller. It'll take a long time to sample, and use up a lot of disk space.

It'll be fun trying to keep a 4 year old away from it too!! My daughter is nearly 7 now, so she knows not to touch, but at 4 she was still into everything.

Don't give up yet... The docking status, position and minimised state of windows is stored with the screenset, so it should be possible to do what you're suggesting. So, you've got the track view spreading over both screens when full screen using the nvidia settings. For the other views, you can un-dock the console and move it so it fills the right monitor, then un-maximise the main track window and move it so it fills the left monitor. This is on one monitor, but you should get the general idea: In the meantime, I'd recommend reporting the now time indicator jumping issue to support@cakewalk.com .
