chris.r

it says free trial 30 days for me... and purchase the license at bottom ? I have been naughty this time??

I didn't get it too but I had it already in my account as a single, probably from the previous campaign. But if you have it with the bundle then it's strange indeed that you didn't get the single.

So, another 'technical' question. If I'll be using AT5 CS for a while and somewhere in the future I'll upgrade to the full version (or SE, Max) the sounds used in my projects will change from that point? I guess that was already answered in this thread but just want to make sure.

You had been naughty, Larry p.s. Check if you don't have it already...

I'm pretty sure IKM does not sell cigars. just found this

That would disqualify my Dell laptop also

I'd put this between other conspiracy theories. I, like many, have a few Sonars plus Cakewalk by Bandlab on top of them simultaneously installed on more than one computer and never had any issue associated with the presence of the previous versions. From the top of my head: I have sonar X1 Studio and some of its components, then Platinum with the whole suite and Cakewalk.

Still got this: immaculate condition, last used many years ago

4GB of release notes?? ?

During the previous year there was this campaign with introducing new law regarding personal data safety where every data holder had to ask his subscribers for an extra permission to keep the data otherwise they had to delete it. Usually it was an email asking for a new consent to keep us as subscribers, this is where I think I've got unsubscribed in many places after I didn't reply to some of those emails. And it was AAS one of them too.

Isn't that one that you wanted Larry? Maybe you should vocalize your wish more often

I knew there was something about NI as well but I couldn't find it anymore on my disk nor in Chromaphone's installation log! Maybe it was the AAS Player. Good catch you too

a few more (although some might find it useful to keep these plugins here as a backup): C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Acoustics Systems\VST Plug-ins C:\Program Files\Applied Acoustics Systems\VST Plug-ins and for those that detest any 32-bit plugins on their system: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VstPlugins OR any other path you specified for 32-bit plugin during instal I'd call it pretty comprehensive installation

Ah yes, that's the one I was waiting a whole year! Thanks.

That's exactly what I was trying to say, I only mistakenly said "MIDI track" instead of "instrument track". There's no problem with dragging an audio clip from Cakewalk's clips pane onto a 3rd party sampler, I just did, actually I highlighted only a selection of a clip and that selection beautifully landed in both, Sitala and Speedrum, no issues whatsoever. Pretty sure Cubase does that already as well. So the only process missing in Cakewalk, that Cubase does, is bouncing a MIDI clip from an instrument track to audio on the fly when dropping it onto an audio track or a sampler's drop zone. Regarding Cubase's sampler track, probably one thing that I find outstanding there amongst many, is how they nailed setting loop points visually. The way they've implemented it is just brilliant, haven't seen it anywhere before. "Check this out" :

A year ago I've bought 500GB Nvme chip, relatively cheap, with a belief that if I put only the most essential, substantial libraries on, it should last maybe for the next couple years. Yeah, silly me, that was so naive . Well, maybe if I didn't spent most of the time here on this forum since then...

I wish my drive(s) was largo too... in addition to the pocket.

Thanks mate, but I know all this already. I too come from pre VST and DAW times, was connecting my hardware instruments through MIDI to an 286 (or 386?) SX laptop with 2 MB ram and 40 MB hard drive Cakewalk Professional 3.0, Windows 3.1 for workgroups was sending SysEx dump and using instrument definitions like you (I've read your post on another thread). In my post above I just did a wrong explanation of the case, and I've corrected it now.? I was saying about dragging a MIDI clip from an Instrument track (not just a plain MIDI track, my bad!) onto an audio track or a sampler and getting an audio output. That feature is missing in Cakewalk (hope you've watched the video at the time stamp I posted above, there you can see clearly what I'm talking about), I guess that makes it a feature request, then. Only hope someone from the BAKERY reads on those threads. I've posted also on another thread that we miss a feature in Cakewalk where you'd want to drag a MIDI clip from an Instrument track onto an audio track and get an audio clip bounced on-the-fly, assumed it's a standard in most other DAWs.

That feature already exists and you can approach it in multiple ways. One way is what sjoens says above, to edit the data in PRV's controller pane. Also you can use Find/Change in menu under Process to manipulate events in many ways. Another way is to put a MIDI effect (mfx) on the tracks, but you'd have to search for that particular mfx plugin on the web first. And there's CAL, if you know how to program it. Unfortunately the Transform tool doesn't work on multiple tracks selected or at least I couldn't make it work. I just wish we'd been given some more useful tools and commands for editing midi control change events in PRV. A simple example of what's lacking in Cakewalk: double click in the controller pane to select all events of that particular CC# in a track. Or split selected controller events by channel, control change number or other criteria into tracks or lanes. Editing notes and velocities is more flexible in Cakewalk with it's shift/control+dragging selected velocity tails in PRV and with the Event Inspector, but is much less when editing controller lines, especially the visual editing when working with multiple tracks in PRV (for example: easy filter out the same CC# events, or two or more CC#s at once, then select some or all of them and do a relative/absolute scaling or shifting time of the selected events, on all selected tracks at the same time).

Oh yes, absolutely, the terrible amount of GBs justifies the need for a manager, I'm just a voice from only one side of the coin . Otoh I have fast network so I managed to download everything by hand without much trouble.

Are you saying that I can drag a midi clip from an instrument track onto sampler and get the audio out of it in Cakewalk, like this? edit: Apparently I can't succesfully drag any *MIDI* clip (from an Instrument track) from the clip pane onto Sitala, and I'm getting "unsupported file type" when dragging a MIDI clip from an instrument track onto Speedrum, which suggests that there is no conversion to audio going behind the scenes in Cakewalk.

Ah right, I was too quick with my response. I should have said an instrument track, or MIDI track already assigned to any instrument, basically same case where you freeze a MIDI track and Cakewalk is bouncing it to audio, all automatically.

No, I mean dragging a MIDI clip from MIDI track [correction: from Instrument track] to audio track. You'll get a MIDI clip in an audio track. What's missing is that Cakewalk will bounce the MIDI clip to audio on-the-fly when dropping it onto an audio track. I have melodyne ess. installed. Similar with dragging MIDI clips onto a sampler, I guess. Cubase has got it.

Absolutely +1. I wanted to say something around the lines but that's basically it. Let us ask for features that will serve ourselves, the users, and not the 'global reputation', in the first place.

The Waveform's one is not a slouch either One thing I'm missing here is dragging a midi clip onto sampler where the DAW will convert it to audio automatically on the fly. Maybe it's there just not mentioned. That type of processing is also missing in Cakewalk, generally. We can either freeze or bounce through a command, simply dragging a midi clip onto audio track will do nothing (will keep it midi).
