When you want to make persistent changes to a theme, locate the following nodes in the Theme Editor treeview: Space between strips: Console View > Background #1 Empty console strips: Console View > Background #2 Populated console strips: Console View > Unfocused Strip Background Also, some ideas on how to locate graphical elements in the Theme Editor when you don't know their names are discussed in the following thread.

This may be old news to some of you, but I just noticed that a new version of Thorn is available at Plugin Alliance. As some of us previously noticed, the VST3 version of Thorn 1.2 had some serious issues with Cakewalk, throwing an unhandled exception error during load and took Cakewalk down with it when crashing. However, after downloading and installing this new version I managed to run the VST3 version without any problems. The installation file was created May 23, so it seems to have been around for almost two months now. According to the change log the following fixes have been made to Thorn 1.2.1: Fixed a startup crash in Cakewalk by Bandlab Fixed AU opened in mono configuration in Studio One 4 Fixed a crash when selecting generic UI option in Reaper Installer always copy Thorn resource files to the correct location now https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/ds_thorn.html#downloads

It’s not a bug. The controls displayed will depend on the width of the pane. Just make the pane a tad wider by grabbing the left-hand edge and drag it to the left and all the buttons will show up.

Just a thought: have you or any of your neighbours recently bought a robotic lawn mower and in doing so installed perimeter wires? If so, make sure the wire is turned off when the mower isn’t running.

Midi Keyoard using Cakewalk TTS keeps sustaining
Canopus replied to Frank DeFede's topic in Instruments & Effects
Look for a pedal (sustain) event (MIDI CC 64 with a value > 0) placed ahead of time to your inserted events. The sustain will affect all subsequent notes until there is a MIDI CC 64 event with a value of 0. To turn off the sustain, either modify the curve at the bottom pane of the PRV or optionally in the event list add another CC 64 event with a value of 0 where you want the sustain to end. -
A lute? To me, crimes like these simply defies logic, far beyond reason. Just as Mark said, having used pro tools, breaking in must have been a cakewalk. And still – just a lute? Was that instrument made for live gigs or was it a studio one? As musicians these thieves obviously aren’t into any digital performance. And that kind of instrument would hardly be used in a garage band. I think the crime investigators need a cue: base the police investigation on the "modus operandi". There’s simply no endo to the possibilities. Sorry for the last ones. Ok, all of them.

It really makes me sad to hear that, Ken. Mina tankar är med dig och din familj.

You’ve got a point there. But looking back, both the Key Suite Acoustic and Key Suite Electric were introduced at $149 and UVI offered existing owners of related instruments a $50 extra discount. So with UVI Attack 88EP currently going for $59 and assuming a similar intro price of $149 for a Key Suite Processed, you’d probably only risk losing $9. Which is about the price of a Whopper Meal for Edith.

Using the voucher I just bought the Lindell ChannelX for $9 plus VAT. Remarkable price really when you consider what this channel strip used to cost when it came to the market some four or five years ago. Noice indeed.

My impression was that the soundbanks in this deal mostly were older ones and most likely not their current best sellers. That’s probably why the prices could be set as low as they were. Asking to replace them with new ones fresh out of the owen might be granted (what do I know?), but maybe not ethically correct.

Well, I'm able to find your thread with a Google search but when clicking on the link it doesn't show up as expected. It is however possible to see the cached version here: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:03W7KWJD9zoJ:https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php%3F/topic/3877-sun-lightning-mix-thoughts-and-feedback-please/+&cd=3&hl=sv&ct=clnk Something must have happened, not sure what. Edit: When reading through the cached thread it seems as if you initial links were targeting mediafire which required some kind of download. Maybe these links were considered containing malware by the forum software and removed because of that? Just my two cents.

Let’s hope that this amazing deal will help increase the interest for AAS' instruments. Hopefully an even greater customer base will help them in the long run make up for almost giving things away like this. I’ve had their Modeling Collection for almost three years now and I really like it. And for those who think they already have enough virtual instruments, take a look at AAS' awesome Objeq Delay.

UVI Introduces Key Suite Electric $149 intro offer
Canopus replied to Reid Rosefelt's topic in Deals
The first UVI instrument I ever bought was Tines Anthology and this incarnation seems to have a lot more of the same. Keysuite Electric actually seems to have replaced Tines Anthology as there is no longer any mention of it in the UVI product line-up. After listening through the demos and even having got a personal offer of $99/€99 I doubt however that I would use those rare and rather obscure additions very often. But still. -
Should I upgrade from Windows 7 now? What are you using?
Canopus replied to Christian Jones's topic in The Coffee House
By the looks of it that quote comes from windowsreport.com. It was an Aprils Fool's joke as you can see in the editor's note at the bottom of the article: Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on April Fool’s Day. As you probably noticed, this article is an April Fool’s Day prank. We hope you enjoyed the joke. We also noticed that some of you got upset after reading this article. Keep in mind that it’s only a joke and should be taken as such. -
Why/What got you started using Cakewalk (before it was free)?
Canopus replied to Christian Jones's topic in The Coffee House
When I decided to try out MIDI, I went to a local instrument repair shop to buy a MIDI card in order to connect my 386SX computer to a Yamaha SY22 that I’d bought a month earlier. When I was there, I took the opportunity to ask the owner if he had some appropriate program to go along with it. He said he had, and took a cyan coloured box down from a shelf. So I went back home with a MusicQuest PC MIDI Card, some MIDI cables and Cakewalk 4.0 for DOS in my hands. This was September 3, 1991. I’ve still got the receipt, that’s how I know. -

You are talking about the Notes Properties dialogue window in Staff View, aren’t you? FWIW, I have no problem increasing or decreasing the Velocity value of a note whether I use the mouse or the plus or minus keys on the keyboard. What input device are you using, mouse or keyboard? And if you’re using the mouse, what happens if you use the keyboard, or vice versa? Might be a hardware problem.
-
No, I don’t have Anthology so I guess that’s the problem. Though I do have the full Agitato series (which Troels in a recent vlog says actually was kind of Adagio v2) so I don’t know how much more I’m willing to spend on something that probably doesn’t add that much to what I’ve already got. Definitely not the regular price of $98/lib., not even the current discounted price of $48/lib. I might possibly have stretched to $28/lib, but that would be as far as I would go. Guess I’ll have to wait for some crazy deal in a BF or two, if I still feel the urge at that time. And yes, crazy complicated indeed.
-
Hm, strange. I had the Adagio Violas v1 and got an offer some two weeks ago to update to Adagio Violas v2 for $28 which I did. But if I now put any of the other Adagio instruments in the cart it shows the normal $48 deal for each, so it’s not even $28 and definitely not free. Unless there’s some coupon code involved they haven’t sent me? They clearly don’t like me at 8dio.

I started playing the guitar when I was around twelve. It was my mother’s old acoustic, dating back from when she was a member of the Salvation Army. But those steel strings really hurt my soft and tender fingers, so I stopped playing the guitar a few days later. And the rest, as they say, is blistery.
-
I jumped on this as soon as I got the mail yesterday. According to GOG it’s free only until 1 PM UTC 1 June, 2019. I assume they mean GMT as UTC is a time standard and not a time zone, so don’t wait too long if you want it.

I understand that you’ve put a lot effort into this theme. Spending that much time on a theme you’re not too crazy about yourself just for the benefit of the user community deserves a massive amount of respect.

I’m done buying new synths. Of course, buying sound libraries to those I’ve already got is a completely different thing. And, of course, updating synth bundles I’ve already bought when new versions pop up (but that goes without saying). Oh, and buying full versions when I’ve only got the limited ones that comes with CM. Ah yes, and filling obvious holes in my synth collection. Ok, and also when something comes at a price I can’t resist (but I’m proud to say that I’m always able to stand firm until the very day the deal runs out). Call me uncompromising, but that’s just the way I am.

VVSTBuzz: 82% off “The Acoustic Samples Guitar Bundle”
Canopus replied to Larry Shelby's topic in Deals
For those who like me have some of the instruments in the bundle and haven’t noticed, it is possible to buy a single instrument from a drop-down on the page linked in the OP. The VSTBuzz price for each single instrument is €49. I’m only lacking Strategy (Stratocaster) but don’t know how much would be gained already having the Telematic (Telecaster). But I would say that €89 for all four is a steal. -
I invented the phrase "One Hit Wonder" ...
