I don't think you need to install any apps - the solution was in the standard NVidia control panel: "In the Nvidia Control Panel, Under 3D Settings / Configure Surround , Physics there is an option for "Span displays with surround" which must be enabled. It will require you close all widows to make the final changes. You may also need to restart the PC."

@Heinz Hupfer - just found this... the last post might help: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/windows-10-full-screen-across-multiple-monitors/b6c80ffb-7ec8-4249-a08f-ba622e8d1aee

Ah, I'd seen that post but didn't put 2 + 2 together. I've not got 2 monitors set up, but if you extend Cakewalk over the two screens, and then press full screen does it extend over both monitors then, or does it revert back to only filling the first one?

I think this is a Windows thing - i.e. full screen means full screen on the one monitor. Can't you just resize Cakewalk's window to extend to both monitors? It should remember it the next time you run it.

I doubt if any of the things you've listed are the cause of the errors. The most likely cause is either a virus scanner, or cloud storage client accessing those files while you're scanning. Make sure all of Cakewalk's directories and your plugin directories are excluded from virus scans / cloud storage backups. If they try to access files while Cakewalk is trying to use them, you'll run into this sort of issue - or worse a crash. What error are you actually getting?

This largely depends on the speed of your internet connection. A full Cakewalk install (minus the addons like Studio Instruments etc, which you probably already have) is just under 600MB. So for me that's around 60-70 seconds to download with an 80Mbps connection (approx 8MB per sec). Once you're up to date, further incremental installers will much smaller in future - usually around 20-30MB.

@Harry C. - I had exactly the same problem with Expose. I sent them an email, and they sorted it out for me on their licensing server. They were pretty quick at getting back to me.

Acoustica basic edition is a free audio editor that works well with CbB: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/48-Audio-Editor/1956-Acoustica-6-Basic-Edition I used @scook 's Tools Editor to add it to my Tools menu. Works a treat.

Have you tried running BandLab Assistant as Administrator? Also, what OS are you using?

"S" will split at the current now time, but won't split a selection (putting a split point either end). Within Key Bindings, if you set the filter to Track View, you can select "Split Clips" (here I've assigned "A" to it): This will bring up the Split dialog, allowing you to select "Split At Selection": This choice is remembered the next time it pops up, so in my example pressing "A" followed by Enter will do it.

I've found that this helps: 1. Enabling one file per clip in the save dialog, and; 2. Always bouncing to clip(s) individually on the clips BEFORE you normalize It still doesn't completely fix the problems with normalizing more then one clip at once though.

This is already available....

Are you sharing the same instance of DrBeat between both tracks, and sharing the same audio output? If so, that's probably your issue.

I can't think of any alternative to unplugging everything and plugging it back in. Before you do that, check your earth connections in any 3 prong plugs. Something could have come loose. Also, check audio cables for dry joints on the earth. I had a nightmare earth loop that went away when I unplugged everything, but came back once everything was back in their rack cases... The mixer & effects were in one rack, and the power amp in another. It turned out the earth loop was through the rack casing itself. Putting some insulating tape around the rim of the case solved it.

Everything working fine here on Windows 10 1903 and also on Windows 7.

You could try installing the k-lite codec pack: https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Another great song John. I love the vocal effect on the last two lines of each verse, and also in the middle 8.

This topic has been a bit of an eye opener for me, and I'll be honest, I fall in to the same camp as Larry - I don't know much about rewire, and wondered why I would ever need to anyhow. I've never really been interested in Reason, as I always saw it as a modular synth I'd never have the time to get into... and from what I've seen of Ableton, it's workflow doesn't really fit in with my writing workflow either. So with those two being the main rewire clients, I'd never really considered it. But the prospect of using things like Notion for scoring does interest me. And if there's any other rewire clients that are out there, I'd like to know about them - not really from a "how to" perspective, but more of a "this is what you could do" perspective. I really look forward to your article.

Unless you've got your old Breakthru files saved as standard MIDI files, I'm not sure how you'll get them in to Cakewalk. I had a bunch of old projects in Music-X on the Amiga. Unfortunately the Music-X to MidiFile converter software was buggy, so most of my projects couldn't be converted. I ended up recording the projects real-time from the Amiga to Cakewalk. You should be able to do something similar with STEEM, but I suspect it's gonna be difficult on a newer machine. I had limited success with an Amiga emulator on the PC, but only in Windows XP. In the end I bought a second hand Amiga 600 for the job. You might have to resort to eBay and replace your ST.

All of the CM series use the cleaner output circuitry, and it is comparable to the U220. The MT32 / U110 are pretty noisy. What they didn't do however, is fix the bit quantisation issue. The LA synths are 15 bit, but shifted left in a crude attempt to make them 16 bit. The result of this is digital clipping at normal volumes once you start adding sounds. Some sounds will clip on their own unless the volume is dropped drastically (e.g. Strings 3, which I used ALL the time). Luckily sampling has solved this issue Another difference between the MT-32 and the CM-32L / CM-64, is the CM series has the SN-U110-11 Sound Effects card built in, and mapped to the higher notes on channel 10. The CM-32L / CM64 also has twice as many PCM waveforms as the MT-32. Apart from the cleaner output, the only difference between the U220 and the U110 is that the U220 has the SN-U110-08 (Synthesizer) and SN-U110-09 (Guitars & Keyboards) cards built in. IMO these were the best cards available, so it was a good choice to include them - some great Jupiter 8 & D50 samples on there. I was using both these cards with the CM-32P / CM-64 at least a decade before I finally got a U220. AFIAK there's no real relationship between the Sound Canvas samples and the U series ones. To my ears they sound completely different. The only exception is maybe some of the SN-U110-11 sound effects (e.g. rain, train, machine gun etc), but even with those, some of them sound different. The JV and XV series synths do have some D50 samples in them, which sound pretty good. I almost got a MGS64 at one point as it claimed to emulate the CM32L, but all it does is remap the GM sounds to the MT-32 patch list. The MGS64 is just a 64 note poly version of the Sound Canvas. I built up quite a collection of 80's/90's Roland gear over the years: MT-32, CM-32L / CM-32P (both were sold and replaced with a CM-64), D110 (with PG-10 programmer), U220, D550, JV1010 & XV2020. The D110 gets bad reviews for some reason, but it can sound fantastic if programmed properly. It's sounds nowhere near as good as the D50 / D550 though.

That's quite expensive - they're pretty cheap in the UK @ £120 , which is just under $150. That's the price new... you might get it cheaper 2nd hand, but they rarely come up unless someone is upgrading to a motorised alternative. There's a couple on eBay at the moment going for around £60 - £80 ($80 - $100). Only one on the US eBay site though, and that's from Italy so the shipping wipes out any savings FWIW Amazon in the US are doing it for $149.

The Korg nanoKONTROL Studio is a fantastic control surface for the price.
