Select all, then refine the selection by moving the start marker (which is called From) to where you want your song to end. Enable Ripple Edit. Edit > Delete Special and select all items, except “Shift by Whole Measures” and click OK Disable Ripple Edit.

I gave the trial of Serum 2 a go and loaded PD Amazon Souls. On my antiquated 4th gen i5 3.4 ghz CPU (which can handle Chromophone 3 - another known CPU hog), PD Amazon Souls crackles badly... they will really have to work on that CPU hit. Uninstalled Note: I have Msoundfactory 17.04, UVI Falcon 3.1.1 and Pigments 6 - All of which my PC handles well. I don’t think I will be spending $AU300.00 (or AU397.00 after June 1) on Serum 2 any time soon - even if they get that CPU hit under control.

That's what I am thinking. If that's the case, keep an eye on your vouchers. BBA2 owners might be in for an upgrade price.

You sure about that? WS4 (now updated to WS4.01) has been out for a couple of weeks now....

As above. This file stores the settings configured in Preferences - MIDI - Instruments I know hardware synths are a relic of the past. However, I suspect there are still people who do use them. I believe these people would find it handy if the Instrument definitions to MIDI output/Channel configuration in Preferences - MIDI - Instruments was saved when one backs up Sonar configuration using Preferences - Customisation - Backup/Restore Settings. The “INSTRMAP.INI” file is not included when you back up settings.

The need for for hard drive space...?

Run the XLN Online installer and check activation status.

Yes, I paid $US49 for the upgrade from Blackhole to Blackhole Immersive.

I guarantee you, no one has (or should have) ever paid $US199.00 for Eventide Blackhole.

My suggestion is valid. Perhaps I was using some common DAW terminology that you may be unfamiliar with? PRV = Piano Roll View. CC = Continuous Controllers - MIDI events that do things , like adjust volume, pan, etc. Controller lane - Part of the PRV where you can enter Continuous Controllers. (Cakewalk’s user manual is your friend) Velocity - how hard (or fast) a note is played on a keyboard. This is one of the MIDI Note event parameters. The other being duration.

This is still the stuff you will need to learn if you want to do things like this.

Please have on your agenda to one day purchase a proper audio interface that comes with Native ASIO drivers. Then you can uninstall the Magic Low Latency 2016 driver. This is not a true ASIO driver but is a wrapper that makes your non ASIO audio device present to your DAW as a an ASIO driver. Cakewalk does not like any form of ASIO wrapper software. An example of such an audio interface that comes with Native ASIO drivers is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. https://focusrite.com/products/scarlett-solo

What is the make and model of your 5pin DIN to USB adapter?

Open the MIDI tracks in the PRV. Then open up the controller lane. The fade outs will either be by means of CC Events (Probably CC7 or CC11) or the notes’ velocities. If it is via CC events , using the Smart Tool, selected all of the CCs responsible for the fade out except for the first CC event at the start of the ramp. Then delete. If it is via note velocities, using the Smart Tool, select the notes that are fading out. Then, while holding SHIFT, drag the velocity of the last note up. This will edit all of the velocities to create a line of velocity values. Simply drag the velocity of the last note to match that of the first. That will get rid of the fade out for that track. Of course, you will have to do this for all the MIDI tracks in this MIDI file.

We need more information from you. Which version and iteration of Cakewalk? (numerically - don’t just say “the latest”) If you are recording MIDI information into a MIDI track, you need to route that MIDI track to something that can actually make sound - like a synth plugin, or and external keyboard capable of receiving MIDI data.

That actually sounds like a PC issue (or driver or even a plugin) rather than a Cakewalk issue.

What happens if you select none?

Paste this into Start + Run to go to the correct folder. %AppData%\Cakewalk\Library

What is your sample rate, Bit Depth and Buffer size? Is “Plug-In Load Balancing” enabled? - Try with this disabled if enabled. Because it’s not mentioned, I am going to assume you are using native ASIO driver mode.

Did you perform the sign out then sign out from Cakewalk by Bandlab’s help menu?

I use outboard gear that relies on Sysex data being transmitted to and received by that outboard gear with perfect integrity. I am not sure I would be trusting a no name brand USB to MIDI adapter to perform that particular data transfer in a way I would trust a more expensive brand. Even If all you are doing is using an older keyboard that has on older 5 pin din MIDI out port to play your VST plugins, I would still avoid a cheap no name brand USB to MIDI adapter. Of course, another option is to simply buy a more modern keyboard (or even a MIDI controller) that has a USB port.

On the current version, clicking in the top half selects all between from the marker to the left and to the marker to the right of where you click. If no tracks were selected before clicking, all tracks are included in the selection. If any tracks are selected when you click, the selection narrows (or expands) to include the data from the marker to the left and to the marker to the right of where you clicked.

I sincerely hope this never happens.
