It's a great plugin. I couldn't believe they've got a model for my Sennheiser HD201's! I bought 5 pairs of these just after they were discontinued. The only thing is I'm using ARC 2 as well, so I have to remember to switch between them. A few times I've thought "this sounds awful" and realised I've had Sonarworks through the speakers rather than ARC 2 (or vice versa).

+1 to this. Make sure you try them working too, i.e. have it actually playing a sound rather than just trying it out without it switched on. I bought a Samson Graphite a while back. It looks fantastic on paper, feels great to play, but every time you hit a key you get a wildly different velocity. At first I thought it was just dirt on the connections, but it's not. It's a bad design.

A "Catastrophic failure" message is what you get when using COM objects or DirectX effects, and you get your reference count wrong. The fact that when you rebooted it worked, leads me to speculate that a process in the background had crashed, and the other process (probably Cakewalk) tried to release a reference from it that no longer existed. It's quite possibly the worst error message Microsoft ever dreamed up. How a reference count mismatch can be described as "Catastrophic" is beyond me.

I use Crucial for my memory, almost exclusively now. I've been using them for almost a decade in one system, and since swapped to using them in another after having a bad experience with another brand (I forget what it was). I've never had any issues since using them. The website is really good too, as they'll tell you exactly what products will work on your system / motherboard. https://www.crucial.com/ I also use their SSD's. I've had two SSD drives from SanDisk which died, but the Crucials have been running without issue for years.

The && operator only works on two expressions, which is why they're nested, as there's 3 conditions: So if you change "(&& (== Note.Vel 0) (== Note.Dur 0))" to "(== Note.Dur 0)", it should pick out all notes of a duration of zero. You still need the (== Event.Kind NOTE) as you only want it to affect notes. So the adjusted code would look like: (forEachEvent (if (&& (== Event.Kind NOTE) (== Note.Dur 0)) (delete) ) )

I could never get the hang of bagpipes. I play sax & clarinet, so I'm used to the note coinciding with me blowing. Blowing into a bag at random intervals, whilst using my elbow to trigger the sound was a coordination nightmare. I guess it just need practice... but these things are LOUD. Playing the chanter on its own was much, much easier - kind of like playing an oboe though. It was extremely sensitive to over/under blowing - far more so than the sax from what I can remember. But of course, there's no drone without the bag.

deleteBlackHole.CAL Put this in your CAL directory (default is C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\CAL Scripts ) Select your clip, then press CTRL+F1 and double click on this CAL script.
-
This will do that: (forEachEvent (if (&& (== Event.Kind NOTE) (&& (== Note.Vel 0) (== Note.Dur 0))) (delete) ) )

Ferrite choke's certainly can help. I actually use one in combination with a ground isolator, as the choke on its own didn't remove all the noise. FYI - you can buy clip-on ferrite choke's to fit on existing cables. Just do a search on Amazon/ebay for ferrite choke, and you'll see plenty of options - be sure to get one to match your cable thickness. Prices are around $1 to $3.

[Fixed]Restore default keyboard shortcuts?

I've found a few issues with clips over the years. The issues seem to stem from clips on a track all being stored in the one file, and the other clips that aren't selected somehow confusing the operation. Here's a thread on the old forum where we discussed it in detail: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Issue-when-using-Normalize-in-multiselect-m3763740.aspx?high=normalise Normally, doing "bounce to clip(s)" after each operation solves it (as I see you're doing). Another thing that helps a lot is to enable "create one file per clip" on the save dialog: Note: For existing projects, this won't affect existing clips until you next "bounce to clip(s)".

I've got two copies of Melodyne Editor, with both registered to the same account, but activated on different machines.

maybe a plugin in demo mode?

We're all as much in the dark as you are. It's just a matter of manually checking for updates periodically. Someone usually will post when a new version appears though, quite often before its officially announced. It's only been 6 weeks since the last update however, and if they're working on something big, or a risky fix, it's likely to take longer for a new update. BandLab have been pretty good about not releasing Cakewalk until they're sure its ready.

IMHO JBridge is FAR superior to BitBridge, as it has so many compatibility options to tweak. Cakewalk's integration with JBridge is good to. You no longer have to fire up JBridger to create 64bit wrappers around your 32 bit plugins. If you go into the plugin properties (either from the Synth rack, or Plugin Manager), check "Load with JBridge wrapper" and the next time you load it, it will be with JBridge. Cakewalk also uses its original VST id, so you can swap between BitBridge and JBridge without it thinking it's a different plugin. FYI JBridge can also help with 64 bit plugins, such as the UJAM Virtual Guitarist VSTi's which seem to require a crazy high buffer size otherwise.

Forum Strangeness... (can't connect at home)
msmcleod replied to synkrotron's topic in The Coffee House
This forum disappeared for me yesterday too. I normally use Chrome for this forum, but it was telling me the server refused my connection. On Firefox however, I got some weird holding page - you know the sort that gives you loads of links to "related" sites. I tried flushing my dns cache twice - the same thing. I gave it 30 mins, and the forum was back. I'm not running any sort of VPN here. -

Ah I see - it's a limited edition anniversary model. That makes sense. 40 years of x86 based processors.

An Intel 8086k... surely that's a typo... unless you're really using one of these old things ? [Edit] - WOW I stand corrected... those things really do exist.... that's confusing.

After a lot of research, I'm just about to invest in a Rode NT1. I prefer the flatter response compared to so many other condensers that tend to boost the high end. Next on my list is the Slate VMS... but I'm meant to be saving up for a deposit on a new house, and my wife will NOT be happy if I spend £1K on a mic!

That's the official site, so it'll be the best place.

Whether it shows sharps or flats seems to depend on the current key (ALT + SHIFT + 6).
