Test: Close Sonar. Unplug their midi cables, or turn their power completely off. Open Sonar and your project. Playback as many times as desired to verify problem occurs or not. If the problem persists it is not caused by anything on those controllers. If the problem no longer occurs, one of them is possibly sending spurious data causing the event.

Had fizz, at least. (I don't drink soda but my brother complains constantly about how nothing has fizz anymore). And I'm this old (when it was half the price on that pepsi pic and was in bottles)

Dunno...but I think that chair style was used for the cockpit seat(s) in Firefly's "Ariel Ambulance" in the episode Ariel. (the Browncoats (fan group) found that prop ship in a junkyard and restored it; dunno whatever happened to it but at one point it was here where I live and I helped a little bit on it and provided some bits and bobs for them to use on the new cockpit panels they were going to build (don't know if they ever did). Otherwise I would proabably have no idea what chairs were on it) .

How to nudge Midi notes an Octave up or down using different keys?
Amberwolf replied to Shaan's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Sure...but that's a pretty complex way to do that sort of thing, especially if you are doing it dozens of times. For me, that pushes it outside the limits of processes that do the job. It's much faster to reach for the mouse (trackball) and drag them to their new positions...but a keystroke is better. -

Unfitgram Dead? (that's what happens when you ask google for antonyms.....) -
How to nudge Midi notes an Octave up or down using different keys?
Amberwolf replied to Shaan's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Which works fine if you want to transpose the whole track...but the track header has a control for that anyway. Neither one works for editing single notes or selected groups of them, however, whether in a single track (or clip) or multiple tracks or clips at the same time. I don't know for sure that's what the OP wants, but 99.999999999% of the time, that's what I would want. -
And?

Also, for those of us that don't use K:

I have this problem all the time at work...everyone knows I can't tell what they're saying or understand overhead pages, etc., and that if they need me they should use the text function on our VOIP handhelds or on my celphone, but most of the time they don't do this. If I'm standing right there I can watch their face and body language and better guess what they're saying, but most of the time I'm somewhere else in the building.

Cakewalk Sonar Paid Membership Buffer question
Amberwolf replied to Larry T.'s topic in Cakewalk Sonar
I would guess that the company itelf just thinks of them as Sonar Free and Sonar Paid. SoFree and SoPaid don't have quite the same ring, do they? But...they're kind of funny. (but I'm weird, so) If you want to be subtle you could use sonar and $onar. -
Tried it out on a "stem separated" piano track, from a piano/vocal audio file recording from a potential collaborator, and it seems to have done a decent job, but it simply left off the entire last several measures, stopping in the middle of a phrase. It did appear to have inserted the pedal up/downs in the right places, and the dynamics are suprisingly similar (but not perfect). Now, given that the original was probably recorded on a celphone sitting on top of the piano, and the whole recording of vocal and piano done live all at once in the one track, then separated by an online auto-separator, it's probably harder for it to deal with.

Amberwolf replied to Shaan's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
However, this affects the *entire track*, and doesn't enable editing individual notes or clips by shifting their note. -
Surprisingly they have very simple TOS that doesn't attempt to take ownership or usage of what you upload, like so many other sites:

"MOTU Has Been Disconnected or Turned Off"??
Amberwolf replied to sjoens's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Pshaw....bites are nothing compared to the way people with computer problems treat the tech trying to help them. -
But they've already named all the streets, so I'd guess you're out of luck.

"MOTU Has Been Disconnected or Turned Off"??
Amberwolf replied to sjoens's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yes, and even worse are people with computers that have problems (usually caused by them), when you're the tech that has to fix them. That's why I went to work at a pet supplies store after CompUSA went out of business a couple decades ago instead of running a techshop somewhere else. Pets and people with pets are MUCH MUCH nicer, even when there are problems, than computers and people with computers (even when there aren't any problems). -
"MOTU Has Been Disconnected or Turned Off"??
Amberwolf replied to sjoens's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Things that delay some systemwide process or something that's in a high priority or realtime process could cause an apparent temporary system freeze or pause, until the process finishes or releases. I had this with one of the external video "displaylink" boxes for a while, regardless of which driver was used...but the same drivers on a different displaylink box worked fine. It would be a randomly timed thing, and it would usually just hang for a second or two, just long enough to be nearly sure that the system had frozen, then it would come back. Really annoying. I forget which diagnostic I used, probably ProcMon, to eventually find the culprit, and that's when I tried a different DL box i already had, and fixed the issue. Same cables, so it was something in the box (but could have been a connector). On my present laptop i had something that would pause like this, and sometimes actually BSOD, but nothing ever told me exactly what it was; the crash dumps (when they happened at all) were incomplete. My only clue was that almost everytime there was an audio buffer repeat d-d-d-d-d- you know the sound, immediately before the pause or crash. Eventually I fixed it by uninstalling and cleaning out all traces of the realtek audio drivers for the built in hardware. Something is probably just wrong with that hardware somewhere, as it didn't matter what version of driver was used for it. -
The KSHMR Wild Ride contest ends submissions today, so I posted up my version: https://www.labelradar.com/artists/Amberwolf/profile?track=394d9ad7-2796-4226-b3ab-690febbcfa0d I don't think they have a voting system but they do have a "like" button... They have VERY limited set of "genres" to pick from, so I'm sure it's the wrong one for what it is, but I couldn't find a better one than "electronic - indie dance". They don't have "soundtrack" or "soundscape" or anything remotely like that.

Are you using Splat (sonar platinum) or are you using the new sonar premium? Don't know if it makes a difference, but... -
Need help with inputs, for cakewalk sonar.
Amberwolf replied to connor armitt's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
There are some that are both: https://www.ebay.com/itm/387830215415 or this one that's much older and not actually midi...i have one around here somewhere, AT-style keyboard plug (looks like midi but isn't), flip it over for whichever side you want to use. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=72413.0 -
Please add colour customization at least for PRV
Amberwolf replied to Maria P's topic in Feedback Loop
You're probably thinking of Bars & Pipes Professional by Blue Ribbon Software on the Amiga... They were working on a Windows version (for win3.1 IIRC) when Microsoft bought them out; nothing ever came of the software except that the first (maybe first few) DirectX SDKs included some version of it for devs to implement things with (but I didn't find out about that till much later, after I was using Cakewalk 3 for windows, or I would've found a way to get that SDK just to use the B&P) I don't know CB's full history, but I thought they were concurrent with B&P's time, but CB was on the AtariST? -
Updated Don't Know Why You Stay with extensive backing vocalizations. I have to fix these up the same as I would the lyrical vocals, so it's time consuming (I first have to find the right ones, then make them fit the rest of the track). 08-30-25: 082525 000001 100070m https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/dont-know-why-you-stay

I never knew who this song was by but I have always liked the feel and sound...I think I am going to try my hand at it. Unlike the KSHMR wild ride track, though, I have no idea where to go with it yet. That one I immediately heard a soundtrack as soon as I heard the vocals...
