@Time+SpaceI understand times are tough these days, but if that's true, I would have to say that making an exit without any words for their loyal customers is certainly burning bridges if they ever hope to reopen some day. ?

Run Native Access to update. Change log is available in Native Access. Click on the Kontakt icon to view it. Mac M1 compatible. Minimum Windows version is now Windows 10.

It's weird that this part of their site is available >>> https://help.timespace.com/home But not the main page...

Valhalla VintageVerb can do gated, reverse, & non-linear in "Nonlin" mode, but is 64-bit only. https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-vintage-verb/ And I just noticed the AIR Non-Linear Reverb in my Creative FX Collection. https://www.airmusictech.com/effects/creative-effects-collection-plus.html $99 at JrrShop https://www.jrrshop.com/air-musi-tech-creative-fx-collection-plus

This detail suggests that Element is grabbing the Windows audio driver by default, and hogging it exclusively. So then your Windows audio apps are unable to access the on-board audio driver. Maybe if you just go into options in Element and select the same audio device that you normally use for Cakewalk, the result will be the same as if you had started Cakewalk. Assuming that you have set Cakewalk up so that it is currently playing audio nicely through your external interface, side-by-side with your other Windows audio apps running with the on-board audio. Not suggesting here to attempt to run Element and Cakewalk at the same time though. Just one or the other...

This thread is almost 3 years old. Have you contacted Cinesamples or Native Instruments support yet? If you have, you should probably start a new topic with your Cakewalk issue if they have not helped you yet.

Sorry to hear you have troubles with your PC audio! I use my external USB audio interface for everything on my PC, hooked up to a pair of powered studio monitors. My pro audio software finds the USB ASIO driver when needed, and Windows uses the USB interface for basic audio for everything else on the PC. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, works great, and no conflicts!

Element v0.46.3 (latest version) change log: Changes in this version FIXED: Problems with MIDI “learn” when mapping a controller. Changes in 0.46.0 – 0.46.2 listed below: https://kushview.net/article/element-v0-46-3/

Awh, buy the dev a cup of coffee! $2.99 won't even get you the good stuff anymore!

Yes, Reaper is without a doubt the DAW with the most comprehensive routing ability! I even paid for a license to support the developer, even though Reaper is not my daily go-to. But Reaper always seems to just work when I am having issues with a plugin in another DAW. That said, IMO Element is even more flexible and faster if you don't need a DAW for tracking at the moment, and just want to wire up some instruments and plugins. Could also be used for live playing because it will allow MIDI in from hardware controllers. Save and recall your sessions. Element can also be used as a [VST / VST3] plugin in your DAW as a wrapper to host plugins [AU / VST / VST3 / AAX Plugin] that your DAW cannot host.

+1 Element exposes all of the audio & MIDI ports available for any plugin used. That also makes it an excellent troubleshooting tool if you are having difficulty routing a plugin in a DAW, and wish to test it in another context. Plus you can also connect multiple patches from a single plugin output to several other plugin inputs. Very flexible and visual patchcord routing!

Way to go, reviving an old thread with an off-topic rant. ?

That page seems a bit older and hasn't been updated yet. Click the download button in your link and you will see that this download is $2.99 now.

Looks like they may be going to launch on a new web hosting platform. Is this new? The fine print at the bottom of the page says: "This shop will be powered by Shopify"

https://kushview.net/element/ It's open source, so you can download and compile it yourself. But the pre-built current release installer costs only $2.99 here: https://kushview.net/product/element-single-download/

Unfortunately, I was automatically *following* this thread because I responded to it a couple of years ago. So every time someone digs up this old thread to complain, I get a new notification. ? Probably time to *un-follow* it now! Hopefully this thread does get locked, so folks won't waste any more time with it.

Element is amazing!

Some MIDI drivers are single-client only. In that case only one program at a time can access your MIDI device. Close any other programs that may be using MIDI, and then restart Cakewalk.

Hoops are not required, nor is reading the whole topic. There is a useful search function in the top bar of the forum that will allow you to search the contents of a thread for a specific search phrase. In any case this particular topic should have been locked long ago, as the original posted question was solved, and then others added their question to it along the way. Fyi, this thread was started almost 3 years ago, and contains multiple questions and answers. So this thread has become a rather confusing mess for anyone else stumbling across it. It's not an organized FAQ, it that's what you are seeking! Cakewalk is a complex DAW, and you should start with the documentation and tutorials, to help out with the learning curve. The YouTube videos linked above from Creative Sauce would be a good place to start. Then if you have any specific questions you would like answered by the community, please start your own topic with YOUR question. ?

I played around and setup 2 CbB projects, one with 1 instance of ST4 using 6 instruments, and the other using 6 instances of ST4, each with 1 instrument. It took more memory to run 6 instances of ST4, but I had more balanced CPU core utilization that way. With only one instance of ST4 running all 6 instruments, I had a single CPU core bearing most of the work. In my experience, once a single core goes much above 50%, there is a higher risk of dropouts.

I understand, but have only bought WUP once just to add the re-sizeable plugins feature update. So I generally stay un-WUPped! Had no issues with the last update for a free plugin to v13. So I currently have v11, v12, and v13 running side by side, no issues. But since I take a full image of my system drive daily, I can always just roll my PC back to "yesterday" if things ever go sideways with an update!

Huh? Whassat mean? WUP insecurity?

They apparently have several US patents that might make them attractive to acquisition. https://accusonus.com/patents
