What MIDI instrumetn are you using the piano roll (midi) notes to play sound with? They have no sound of their own, so you must connect an external MIDI instrumetn setup to play teh sound you want, or you must use a virtual instrumetn (VST, etc) in an instrument or synth track within the software, etc. If it works in one program but not the ohter, you would need to setup the one that doesn't work the same way you setup the one that does, so that it plays the same sounds for you.

before cpus became so power-dense, that was more or less true*** but now there are cpus that simply generate so much waste heat when run near or at their full capability, it takes a liquid to be able to carry that much heat away fast enough to prevent problems, because room-temperature air simply can't carry that much energy at a flow rate achievable at a tolerable noise level, etc. ***but also used as ways to make silent systems, or other environmental situations where simple air cooling wouldn't work for whatever reason

Thanks for listening! I've been called the macguyver of...whatever I work with. Not sure if it's true, but I do like to take disparate things not intended to be used togehter, or even for the thing I'm using them for, to make whatever it is I'm trying to do, be it music, electronics, physical art or practical projects like my ebikes and etrikes and trailers, etc. I'm presently working on another misuse of sounds, taking a bunch of noises someone made by abusing a piano's guts and whatnot and turning them into percussion, along with assorted glitch noises and tortured instruments, and some mostly ethereal vocals, and an untortured piano, maybe a synth or two.... Unlike the track of this thread (which is entirely samples created by others and altered / mutilated by me), the new one will have some instruments played by me (or at least drawn in as midi by me).

What audio driver are you using for the microphone, in each program, and what are all the settings for each program's audio latency and buffers, etc? What is your audio playback device, and what driver is it using, in each program, and what are all the settings for each program's audio latency and buffers, etc? Sometimes the difference between working and not is the difference in a setting, or which driver is used. Checking what the differences are and then making them the same in the nonworking program as they were in the working program may make the nonworking program work. Do you have ASIO4all or any steinberg or magix ASIO drivers installed? (if so, remove those and see what happens--there are many threads discussing those, some with instructions on specific steps).

Some OS versions don't assign programs to use all the cpu cores. If you have a lot of cores but CbB is only allowed to use one of them, or the plugin can only use one because of it's design, it might show a low overall cpu usage in the system, but still have maxed out the core it's actually on. I don't think any of the midi settings have anything to do with cpu usage control; that should be all in the OS itself. Audio settings, especially those in your audio driver itself (outside CbB) would affect CPU usage, as lower latency requires more CPU to move more chunks of data more frequently.

That would be me, except for the gifted part.

Unfortunately it doesn't have *all* the data (some things aren't directly stored in the file, but require the plugins themselves to interpret it), but there is this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/ProjectScope-for-Sonar-Project-Files-CWPs-updated-to-support-new-Sonar-project-features-m3584169.aspx Perhaps you could work with the author to have them update it to include all the other info. This thread has some baker input on what data can and can't be read out of a CWP

Is the plugin inserted in a clip, or in the track fx bin? If it's in a clip, it goes away when the clip does.

Based on their FAQ they probably don't test with any bandlab products, since they don't list them. Most likely there's something their plugin does differently than the usual that CbB doesn't expect. But it could be a system compatibility issue instead--do they work in any of their listed hosts on your computer? https://kb.audiomodeling.com/en/c/compatibility/d/what-are-the-hostsdaws-compatible-with-swam-instruments Contact our support if your host/DAW is not listed here or if you experience some unexpected behavior.

I'm sure they've improved in the couple decades since I dealt with many of them, but back when I did, I saw way too many of them (of all levels of cost and design) with seal failures that let coolant out onto the electronics, damaging things (usually the video card and the motherboard as the sites of the two most commonly cooled things) either immediately from whatever was conductive or capacitive in the coolant, or over time as it corroded conductors, created shorts, etc. Most of the ones I saw used some form of antifreeze (like you'd have in a car, sometimes actually that exact stuff), or mold-deterrents, etc., in addition to whatever water they used, some were installed with only tapwater in them (some of them with enough chlorine to start to corrode things like the insides of the heat transfer blocks). The one I had myself was, I think, Corsair, and it was alright, but even without any leaks at seals, it still lost fluid (probably thru the plastic tubing, or the walls of the polyethylene reservoir or it's cap, etc).

But what if my cat is christian? 💥

Thanks--I snagged it, but will be a bit before I can try it. The LR reference is to https://logans-run.fandom.com/wiki/Carousel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG_0hhckDSU

Thanks...I didn't record any of it, though, just used the existing pieces (sometimes heavily modified) to create what I heard in my head. For the voice, it helps to have an Elf at your command...sort of. Thanks--I would try, but I don't know what "get the cohesiveness more realized and accessible" means? I am not familiar with DCD or SW, I found some videos but I don't know that what's on the top of a google search for these names is what you're thinking of (it doesn't sound like it to me).

Well, you can do that with plugins if you want, there's a number of pitchshifting plugins out there. It's CPU intensive, so it will probably be lower quality done realitme than when you "print" the track to an audio file. And there will be artifacts in some content; the farther from original pitch you shift it the worse this will be. If you're only going up or down one or two semitones it's not so bad for most things, but synths with repetitive sounds (especially pulses, blips, assorted arpeggio patterns) can be really messed up.

Anything to do with Logan's Run? (Since the video's still unavailable, can't check)
