Cakewalk Next 2025.02 Now Available!
TheSteven replied to Christopher Amato's topic in Cakewalk Next
Next v1.0.1.434 won't load - I've clicked No over 10x before giving up. Trying to run it again - no luck. Uninstalling and reinstalling - no change. When I click on Yes, I get a crash error. I submitted a "request" https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Here's the error log. -
In Sonar can I change the sample rate audio tracks are recorded at (IE if I start at 96k can I record other audio tracks at 48k)? I record my guitar tracks with the sample rate set at 96000 because with my Quantum 2 interface it reduces my latency to between 2 - 5ms; but I do not want record my other audio tracks (vocals, acoustic instruments, etc.) at 96k, would rather use 48k to waste less disk space. Is this possible in Sonar?

For $99 that looks like a pretty nice upgrade deal. Looks like Augmented Yangtze is the only new instrument not currently included in Collection V X. Usually there's a number of new instruments that have dropped before they announce a version update, so wondering if Collection V XI is really going to drop this year.
-
$99 to upgrade from v9 to vX (at least for me). That's for 4 new instruments - MiniFreak V, Acid V and CP-70 V and Augmented Grand Piano (which I already have) and 2 rebuilt instruments (their terminology) Mini V 4, and Wurli V 3. + 3 expansion packs. Still - will need to think this over. At the moment I am overloaded with virtual instruments and probably should be thinking about shedding what I don't & won't be using instead of collecting more.

I hadn't realized that David was that last original Doll's member. They were highly polarizing - people seemed to either strongly love or hate them. Their androgynous attire totally freaked some people out. Despite their short comings they were highly influential. Along with Blue Cheer, Iggy & the Stooges, they were one of the early protopunk bands. I don't think this producer checking out the band quite knew what to think...

per Google: WebView2 is pre-installed on Windows 11 and is also included on most Windows 10 devices, meaning it is essentially included with both operating systems; however, for Windows 10, it may need to be manually installed on some older versions depending on the update level. Key points about WebView2: Pre-installed on Windows 11: This means it comes automatically with every new Windows 11 installation. Widely available on Windows 10: Most Windows 10 devices should have WebView2 installed, but older versions might require a manual update. Evergreen Runtime: WebView2 uses an "Evergreen Runtime" which automatically updates in the background on both Windows 10 and 11. So if you have Windows 11 and don't have WebView2 installed (assuming that you didn't manually delete it) you might have other issues as well. If it was me and I ran into that issue on any of my Windows machines I'd do a little system maintenance i.e. Open an elevated command window and run SFC /SCANNOW then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth These are basic IT tech tools, if you don't know what these do - Google them*. (not being rude or snarky just don't have the time at the moment to explain them when it's so easy to look it up)

or because I grabbed the wrong set of glasses again... (so a resource issue on my end?)
-
If it stays blurry it's because the plugin can't find its resources. Possibly something screwed up during the installation process or it can happen if you take the VST3 plugin (1) out of its folder (2) because it needs the contents of the Resources folder (3) to render the GUI. Most developers don't use html GUIs on their plugins. Nothing wrong with that approach (probably makes it easy to have cross platform versions) just not the most common. This structure - Folder.vst3, contents, resources, etc. is actually the lastest VST3 spec; which is why you see more & more devs adopting it, though many don't use the Resources folder for anything that matters. Now days I just move the whole folder.vst3 to organize/cleanup things instead of bothering to extract the actual plugin.vst3 file. You usually can move the whole Folder.vst3 (with its contents) to another location (i.e. subfolder) within the C:\Program Files\Common\VST3 to organize thing if you wish. I don't bother with the UAD plugins because the installer just reinstalls them back to the root of that folder everytime it runs.

I purchased this yesterday. I have an account at Sweetwater and paid by PayPal and it took around 15 minutes for me to get my license.

FabFilter has just updated Pro-Q to v4.02, which contains various bug fixes and improvements like the new per-band Spectral Tilt parameter. They recommend everyone to download and install this new version. You can verify the version number that's currently installed by clicking Help > About in the Pro-Q 4 interface. Changes in Pro-Q v4.02: Added Spectral Tilt parameter per band. If enabled, a tilt of 3 dB/oct is applied to the input spectrum before it is used to trigger the spectral dynamics processing. By applying this gentle tilt to the spectrum, higher frequencies will trigger slightly more than lower frequencies, which helps to get more natural sounding results. When the plug-in is in Linear Phase processing mode, Character Mode oversampling will now also be linear phase. Improved copying and pasting of bands: if you're pasting bands within the same instance, the pasted bands will now get a small frequency offset so that it's easier to distinguish them from the originally copied bands. If the instance list is used with a DAW that doesn't report the instance track index (e.g. Pro Tools or Logic Pro), instances are now sorted by track name using an improved algorithm that compares numbers in a natural way. For example, "Track 2" is sorted before "Track 10". The instance list now only shows instances from the same project in DAWs that report this information (most VST3 hosts and Pro Tools). All Pass filters will now show as bypassed when the plug-in is in linear phase mode, since they won't have any effect in that case. Fixed a bug that could cause a temporary DC offset in the output when changing the slope of a Low Cut filter at very low slope values (< 6 dB/oct). Fixed a possible crash that could happen in rare cases when enabling Spectral mode for a band. Fixed a bug that could cause audible artifacts when changing the gain or dynamic range of an EQ curve while is was actively applying dynamic changes. Fixed a bug where clicking and dragging the EQ Sketch button could sometimes lead to an area selection instead of an EQ Sketch action. Fixed a bug that could cause Alt+Shift+click on EQ curves (toggling slopes) to skip some of the slope settings or ignore fast clicks. Fixed an issue that could cause the output to be abruptly cut off when stopping playback in some DAWs in combination with ringing, resonant filters. Improved factory presets with more meta data and some small tweaks. Minor bug fixes and improvements. FabFilter Pro-Q 4.02 is available for download at: www.fabfilter.com/download More about Pro-Q 4: www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-q-4-equalizer-plug-in

I must admit that I had interpreted this as meaning that as an owner of v1 that I would receive v2 for free. So slightly disappointed. Should have gone to their website and verified the terms and conditions for myself.

If you check in the iLok Manager - looks like most of their plugins (unless there's been a recent update that changes this) will only authorize to iLok USB (2,3), or iLok Cloud. Note that, as shown, authorizing with iLok1 or directly on your computer is disabled.

If you mean putting out hacked versions - probably, as it has happened many times before.
