I ran a Waves update yesterday before I did the Cakewalk update. I have v12 and did not encounter the file locked issue. I wonder if Waves has fixed the V12 bug?

Well, since I already had the Abbey Road Collection, and then I received a few free plugins last year in a deal, I chose the NX Abbey Road Studio (not included in the Collection) without trying the demo first because it looked cool. Not because I have ever thought mixing on headphones was cool but I liked the idea of a room simulation, especially one that could potentially transport me into that famous studio! ? I thought is was just OK, but not something I would use a lot. But it does include a profile for my headphones, the Sennheiser HD-280 Pro. So with the new NX Ocean Way Nashville, I decided to check out the demo first, and A/B with NX Abbey Road Studio. Especially before I read the Gearslutz reviews and let them get into my head. ? But I could definitely hear the difference, and Ocean Way is an improvement. I hope Waves goes back and updates Abbey Road! Pulled the trigger on this deal last night! And I do agree with the consensus on Gearslutz!

I didn't get that message, but I had to close my browser and Cakewalk before the update would run. All good now!

I had the TTS-1 issues while running Cakewalk 2020.11, so it's not just the latest release of Cakewalk. I've never had any issues before while just leaving multi-out disabled.

Larry, you have a point there. Most all commercial Windows application software is tied into 3rd party resources, especially those from Microsoft. But there are many other vendors as well that they have to license from. For example, here are the 3rd party resources that Cakewalk by BandLab credits in the "About" screen:

Do you have a link to what you are asking about?

I'll have to say, based on that experience yesterday, that I wouldn't recommend trying to do any complex projects with TTS-1. It's just too old and doesn't appear to play well with the new Cakewalk. Not sure what's going on, but I sense a general instability that I don't get with Kontakt Player or SampleTank Max. So I will just continue to keep using TTS-1 to open and audition GM files, then swap it out with current VSTi's. That's what it's very good at, and I've never had any problems in that regard.

I didn't mention it earlier, but I encountered some weirdness while I was auditioning VST FX presets with the TTS-1 multi outs enabled. I encountered garbled audio sometimes on the instrument I was playing as I changed VST FX presets. That corrected itself when I stopped and restarted the transport. I finally bumped up my ASIO buffers and shut everything else running on the PC down, as I was also seeing fairly high CPU use across all cores. I got one Cakewalk crash and an audio engine dropout, but finished what I was trying to do..

I didn't intentionally "keep" any particular instruments sounds, I just left all "as-is" from the original MIDI file GM, so they are the assigned instruments. Made no MIDI edits or any other alterations to the original file. Just saved it as a Cakewalk project and messed with effects and TTS-1 outputs. Left piano & drums on output 1, and put guitar, bass, and organ separately on outputs 2, 3, & 4.

You get to keep the best free DAW!

Updates for Analog Lab 5 and Pigments 2 as well.

I noticed that Glenn's track was slowed down a bit. Did think the original MIDI tempo was a bit fast and considered doing that. He nailed the combo organ!

I'll probably not bother to update my XLN stuff anymore, until they add something I really need.

Here is a new attempt, done with the TTS-1 instruments using the original GM file without edits. In all fairness to TTS-1, I thought I should give it an even shot with my last attempt where the TTS-1 instruments were substituted. Used separate audio outputs from TTS-1 for the guitar, bass, and organ, and put 3rd party FX on them. Guitar: Amplitube 5 > Fender 2 - Clean and solo [4x10 '65 Super Reverb]. Bass: Amplitube 5 > Bassman Round 1 [Fender Bassman 300], Organ: IK MixBox [Rotary]. Used a console plugin on the master bus to level it up. IK Lurssen Mastering Console. Believer TTS-1 + FX.mp3

I have received 2 emails from Waves about this plugin. The latest with my exclusive, " special offer" for users of Abbey Road Studio 3. Might have to take a look see. Still $29.99.

No good on crossgrades...

Suggest that the producer of this video change the title. "Cakewalk Needs All DAWs need to be improved: Part 1 - Suggestions for Cakewalk".

I've already got the Waves Abbey Road tape and vinyl machines for artistry and character. Do I need to upgrade to cassette?

Just got the email. Is it worth downloading? Just for the record, I hated cassettes. Worse than MP3's... ?

I would agree with that plug for BIAB. Plug in the chords, choose a style, and generate from RealTracks. Since a solo generally follows a scale, a pre-recorded solo loop would be fairly limited in use, unless it came recorded in every key (not counting whether you would plan to transpose/pitch shift the audio somehow to match the other tracks).

@Aksel HolandI caught that you were looking for OSX installers. I'm not aware of which instruments were available for the OSX, but the info below is what I know about the Windows versions. Z3TA+2 and Rapture Pro may have been released for OSX, as they were the last two stand-alone instruments being supported when Cakewalk was shutdown. As far as I recall, the z3ta+ was always bundled with the Sonar installer, and Z3TA+2 was always sold separately. Rapture (classic) was bundled with X2, X3, and Platinum as a separate installer. Dim Pro was bundled with Sonar 8 thru Platinum as a separate installer. If you migrated your old Cakewalk account to the single sign-on account between 2014 and 2017, support should be able to loop you back into your account. If you missed that window, I don't think there is anything support can do. BandLab support has access to the more recent Cakewalk.com accounts. You would still need the original product serial numbers and registration codes, even if you were able to obtain the installers.

Here is the thread view for just the main Cakewalk process on my PC. You will see a thread for each plugin. Each thread has a stack view that can be accessed by selecting the thread, then clicking the "stack" button.
