Message " Cannot Find or open File"
msmcleod replied to Александр Кулаев's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
It could also be your Anti-virus or a cloud-sync app accessing the file at the same time. Make sure your Cakewalk projects directory is excluded from any of these. For cloud backup, I use a couple of batch files to copy my project files to/from a different drive which my cloud app syncs from. That way it's not trying to sync stuff while I'm in the middle of editing or recording. I can choose when to run the batch files to sync to the cloud. -
The "Not enough memory available" error means the device is already open by another application. Make sure Cakewalk isn't running when you install the Softube software.

How to view Arranger section start/length properties?
msmcleod replied to DallasSteve's question in Q&A
-
This is just down to how the preview is currently implemented. It's to be expected, especially with larger ASIO buffer sizes. The larger the buffer size, the more apparent the jump between sections. The effect is hardly noticeable at a buffer size of 64. We've had various internal discussions as to how to improve this, including essentially doing what you're doing (i.e. creating a temporary commit in the background), but this might take a significant amount of time depending on the project size, machine speed etc.

Chord Track is still on our to-do list, but I'd be surprised if it didn't follow a similar theme to the Arranger.

Cakewalk stretches when I just want to slip edit
msmcleod replied to Starship Krupa's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
You can also turn on stretching by selecting it in the Edit tool. Hard to see how this would be selected by accident though. -
There are various reasons why this is the case, but it's mainly because the arrangement could take sections from any of the arranger tracks in any order ( and they could be overlapping), so the end result would in those cases not make sense. In saying that, there might be something we could do in a future release. In the meantime though, for your particular scenario, where you've got chords underneath the main sections you could try the following: Select all the sections within your "chord" arranger track, and convert them to markers by right clicking on the time ruler and selecting "Create Markers from Sections" Commit your arrangement Add a new arranger track CTRL + A to select all, then right click on the time ruler and select "Create Sections from Markers"

Cakewalk stretches when I just want to slip edit
msmcleod replied to Starship Krupa's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
No idea how this could happen - I can only get it to do this if CTRL + SHIFT are held down, and this has to be done BEFORE you start the drag operation. -
The only VSTi's that I found were particularly bad for this in CbB were the UJAM Virtual Guitar series. Even changing the ASIO buffer to 1024 wouldn't solve it, although it helped a bit. I solved it by checking the "Load using jBridge wrapper" checkbox within the plugin properties, so that it ran in it's own process (of course you need to have jBridge installed for this to work). Using this setting I can use the UJAM VG VSTi's at buffers of 32 or 64 without issues.
-
It's also worth checking out UJAM Virtual Guitarist Silk. It's similar in a lot of ways. I like the different voicings setting in NI Picked Nylon (especially the "As Played" option), but then again the bass note feature on VG Silk is very useful and intuitive.

Export is selection based, so just select the time region you want to export in the time ruler before launching the export dialog. If you're using the export module, make sure it's set to "Selection":

When I got my RME 6 months or so ago, the RME UFX was (still is!) out of my price range, so I got the RME Digiface USB. It really is a bargain at around £325 - £300. US price is around $500. TotalMix comes with it but with the dynamics/EQ etc disabled, and you get the same high quality RME drivers. It's got 4 x ADAT in and 4 x ADAT out, so that's 32 in's and out's at 44.1/48K, 16 i/o at 96K, or 8 i/o at 192K. Of course you need Mic Pre's to ADAT converters ( e.g. Behringer ADA8200, Focusrite OctoPre etc) to actually get audio in, but personally I see this as a plus point. You can start off with low cost converters - even just one of them (giving you 8 ins & outs), then add or upgrade as necessary. I personally use old Fostex VC8's, as I only need line level I/O ( I mainly use my A&H MixWizard / Alice 828 as mic pre's running the direct channel outs to the VC8's), but I've got the choice of upgrading if I need to at a later date.

There's no change - it's just a different icon.

PROBLEM: Importing a WAV track but it adds a second track
msmcleod replied to Marcello's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
In your screenshot, it looks like two mono tracks were created. Did you have Import as mono tracks checked? -
Gretsch guitars are very nice, and have been around for a very long time. They were made famous by Chet Atkins. The hollow bodies were used primarily by fingerstyle players. My dad's had two of them since the mid 60's (both double anniversaries). My younger brother now plays one too. Of the newer models, personally I prefer the sound of the Electromatics over the cheaper Streamliners. Most Grestches use filtertron pickups, which is their own version of the humbucker (they were developed at around the same time, and there's some debate as to which was invented first). To my ears, they're not as dull sounding as humbuckers, but also not as hot. Personally, I've never liked the Gretsch much for distorted sounds or metal/rock playing, but they're great for country, jazz or anything clean sounding. I'm not saying you can't use them for rock (as plenty of people do), but I've never got quite the sound I wanted from them for that genre. In saying that the Jet series are solid / semi-solid bodies, and worth a try if you're going for a more traditional electric sound but want something that is still very different from your standard Strat or LP sound.

Have you determined that Cakewalk is actually receiving MIDI data on that port, and you've got the correct port routed to ACT? There should be two ports that the MPK is transmitting on, one is for the keyboard / pichbend / modwheel, the other is for the DAW functions. You need to use the DAW MIDI port with ACT.

Reason 10 does not show up as a Rewire device in Cakewalk
msmcleod replied to Justin's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Maybe you're running a 32 bit version of Reason? AFAIK for Rewire to work, both apps need to be the same bitwise. -
Paste always pastes to the active track, which is indicated by the name being highlighted. There can only be one active track. The track number being highlighted indicates that the track is selected, and many tracks can be selected.

If you want really smooth curves or lines, it's far easier to use an automation lane. If you really need it back in the PRV, select the automation envelope, right click on it and select "Convert to MIDI Events". Note that the current global snap setting decides the resolution of the conversion.
