Tempo Track - Display / Timeline does not = Actual Tempo
msmcleod replied to Jim Stamper's question in Q&A
@Jim Stamper - we've identified the issue and a fix will be available in the next CbB drop. -
question regarding the new update coming up
msmcleod replied to greg54's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Modern cars certainly do have bugs, for example: - I drive through a spot that has a lot of tree cover, so my headlights switch on... it thinks it's dark, even though the dashboard clock clearly shows its the middle of the day. It takes up to 5 minutes to work out that it's not still dark and turn the headlights off. - The automatic wipers come on with a single drop of water, but then don't when it's raining lots of fine drops. -
For any of these services, check the fine print... there are so many gotchas there it's not funny. I've heard stories of people getting copyright strikes on YouTube from their own material, just because they've used a distribution service in the past. Whatever you do, don't base your decision on price alone.

any new soft synth i create gets routed as a midi track
msmcleod replied to Zack Neil's topic in Instruments & Effects
Although the Add Track button does have some options that will override those in the dialog, for the most part the options from the Insert Synth Options dialog will always be respected (and remembered for next time).- 12 replies

Does anyone know what piano sample the TTS-1 piano 1 uses?
msmcleod replied to T Boog's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The TTS-1 uses exactly the same samples as used in all of the Roland Sound Canvas modules - in fact it's actually a software emulation of the Sound Canvas. The D110 predates the Sound Canvas by quite a few years, and is a totally different beast being based on LA synthesis. AFAIK there are no piano samples in the D110 to speak of (except maybe the shortest piano attack you could imagine). I've got a D110, and the piano sounds are awful... but pianos aren't what you'd use this synth for. The U110 / U220, which were around at the same time have piano samples and aren't that bad for the time, but are to my ears inferior to the Sound Canvas (and therefore the TTS-1 too). I've got both the D110 and the U220 (as well as the MT-32 and CM-64)... they have their uses, but nowadays not so much! The D550 is the only one that still has charm for me. -
@FaithD0ntFall - check your Templates folder within Preferences->File->Folder Locations. The default setting is: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates - this is where the installer puts the stock project templates. If you've got it set to a different folder, make sure there are actually project templates in there.

FWIW, the new Sonar will have Project Start /Project End markers.

Compare the size of the files on both computers. Cakewalk can store multiple waveforms in a single file (the .wav file format supports this), but some file transfer programs try to get clever and try to re-interpret the file. This was a common issue with Cakewalk bundle files. If the file sizes are different, try zipping up the files into a single zip file and transfer that.

Why record it rather than generate it? MOscillator from MeldaProduction will generate a perfect 60Hz sine wave for you, and it's part of their free bundle: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MOscillator

I went for the Digiface USB too. I'm using the 18i20 as my main set of inputs (which also means I can switch back to the 18i20 as my main interface by just swapping the USB cables). The other three banks are from 3 x Fostex VC8's. Not the best converters I know, but they're good enough for now and easily replaceable with better models when I get around to it. 2 of them are fed from the direct outs of my A&H MixWizard, and the other one has an assortment of pre's I can patch in and out ( 8 x Alice 828 direct outs, TFPro P3 x 4, GA Pre 73 x 2 ). Cabling is a sore point... thankfully my 19U preamp rack is all cabled internally, but there's nearly 50m of audio cable alone in there! The Alice and A&H use standard looms... big, heavy and ugly.

why is bandlab not seeing my usb cards mutiple outputs??
msmcleod replied to eagerbrook eagerbrook's question in Q&A
The issue is you're using WASAPI shared, which essentially goes through Window's sound. Use ASIO if you've got ASIO drivers for your device, otherwise try WASAPI Exclusive. -
Technically they don't... NME Networks is not part of BandLab Technologies - they're a separate division, but both are owned by Caldecot Music Group. The same is true for the music hardware/instruments/retailers, which all come under Vista Musical Instruments, again owned by Caldecot.

If you've got an 18i20 then it works great via ADAT to the RME as an extra 8 pre-amps (or indeed an extra 8 analog outputs).

msmcleod replied to eagerbrook eagerbrook's question in Q&A
Do you have the outputs checked in Preferences? - i.e. they not only need to be listed, you also need to have them checked. -
The nodes must have been selected somehow for them to move as a group. The most likely cause is that you're unintentionally invoking a gesture that is causing them to be selected, or it could be a combination of config options that make this more likely. Can you post a video demonstrating this behaviour? Hopefully it'll be easy enough to narrow it down.

Is that really any different from a Track Envelope sending MIDI CC's to trigger articulations, or even sustain pedal events? FWIW - both Articulations and Track Envelopes can be converted into MIDI events in the clip, and back again - i.e. you can apply articulations to the track, so the key switches will end up in the clip, do any duplication or rolling out you need, then extract them out again later.

Ahh.. but drag and dropping file from it works absolutely fine ? I only use an iPhone because years ago I used a Windows Phone - great pocket PC, but absolutely useless as a phone ( e.g. having to get the stylus out, then select "Keypad" from the start menu just to get the keypad up during a call). A friend gave me his old iPhone 3GS which was so easy to use, I've been upgrading to the latest supported 2nd hand version since then. Maybe I'm just old, but honestly I think people expect too much these devices... I mean, sure, I do listen to audiobooks, do my banking on it, and take pictures of things I can't read so I can zoom in to read them... but for the most part I use it as a phone! But yeah, the whole having to use iTunes to get mp3's on to an iPhone is a bit of a PITA, but AFAIK it's the only way.

After latest update, cannot view top tracks
msmcleod replied to Harley Dear's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
No that's not what's being said. The authorization server has been upgraded to support the upcoming Sonar/Next releases. This is incompatible with the old authorization server. When their authorization period runs out, the CbB 2022.11 release (and all releases of CbB before it) will try to connect to a now defunct authorization server, so the authorization will fail. CbB 2023.09 does work with the new authorization server. So: - If you're using CbB 2022.11 or earlier, it'll continue to work until the authorization period runs out. - At that point, you'll need to upgrade to CbB 2023.09. Of course, when Sonar is released you can always get that too. -
Instrument Definition file for Yamaha DX7II or TX-802
msmcleod replied to james harknell's topic in Instrument Definitions
If you're not comfortable creating an .ins file from scratch in a text editor, it's still fairly straightforward to create your own .ins file via the UI. Here's an example I did a while back for a Yamaha piano: -
VST2 should definitely be receiving bank changes - it was one of the first things I fixed when I joined the dev team back in 2019. In order to get a complete patch list, I'd recommend using the Patch Browser in the Inspector, and setting the "List Patches From" to Roland GS:

After latest update, cannot view top tracks
msmcleod replied to Harley Dear's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
This isn't a beta version, it's an early access. If this bug wasn't found, it's likely this version would have been released as the final version. So far we're not aware of any other specific issues in this release, but we'll keep an eye out for any reports over the next couple of days. The back end servers have been upgraded to support the coming release of Sonar/Next. As as result, the previous versions of Cakewalk will no longer re-authorize once their authorization period has expired. This is what has delayed this release going out, and is also why there is no rollback. This bug has now been fixed, however with Monday being Labor Day in the US, it's unlikely we'll get a new update out before Tuesday. If you're affected by this bug: For the meantime, just make sure all of the strip types are checked in the console view's "Strips" menu. After doing this you may also have to launch the Track Manager from the console view and unhide any tracks. -
After latest update, cannot view top tracks
msmcleod replied to Harley Dear's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
wow, this one was a tricky one to track down! Ok - here's the cause: You've got MIDI strips unchecked in the console view, but also you've got "Keep track/console visibility states in sync" checked: So on project load, it's syncing the hidden tracks in the console view with the Track View. To fix this: 1. Ensure MIDI is checked 2. Open the track manager from the console view, and unhide the tracks (with the sync still on). There have been some bug fixes in this area, as sync wasn't working properly... but this looks like a regression. We'll look into it further. -
FYI - this is the forum for Cakewalk by BandLab, not BandLab's mix editor. I'm not fully up to speed with BandLab's mix editor, but it seems to me you should be setting the time signature to 6/8 rather than 4/8.
