What you describe above is way above me. However, I was successful in what I wanted to accomplish. I first deleted the Cakewalk TTS-1 track and Track 1. I was then able copy each MIDI track to a new track individually and assign a new instrument.

That doesn't work. After deleting track 11 each instrument is still assigned to TTS-1. Also, deleting track 1 does nothing as well. What's also weird is that if insert a new instrument track patched to the instrument I want and copy the MIDI data from one of the other tracks assigned to TTS-1, there is no sound produced from the new track.

I don't see where you are getting that. When I click in the space you mention on the track instrument that is TTS that I want to replace with another instrument that is not TTS all I get is this: Replace Synth for All Tracks Using This Synth. That is not going to work considering ALL the instrument tracks are using TTS.

I've never seen either option. Where are these located?

Is there a way to remove all track instrument patches at one time? I have a MIDI file that is defaulting to TTS on all channels. I want to replace all the instruments and not use TTS. Is there a way to remove TTS on all the channels, still leaving the MIDI data so I can replace each track with a different instrument? Hopefully I am explaing this well. Thanks

Got it! Thanks

I do see the images you posted. I don't see that on my end.

I don't know where those are

You lost me there.

I am at a loss here. I have a MIDI track that is playing on MIDI channel 1 as a piano using TTS-1. I've copied the the MIDI track to a new track and have edited to keep only certain notes that I want to play on MIDI channel 11 as a brass patch. The issue I am facing is the track that I want to play on MIDI channel 11 still plays on MIDI channel 1 instead of 11 and still plays the edited part with the TTS-1 piano patch. How do i make this happen? Thanks

Ok, thanks. I will dig further.

As of this morning, when I open any stand alone MIDI file in Cakewalk, instead of it playing through my Focusrite 2i2 it plays through the computer soundcard and speakers. This was working just fine yesterday when I was working on a MIDI file. Under Preferences it does show the device as Focusrite. The thing that escapes me is that when I open up a project I've been working that contains both .wav and .mid files they play just fine through my Focusrite as expected. Also, when I go into Windows Sound and tell it to use the Focusrite, when I play a MIDI file it does indeed play through the Focusrite however, instead of playing instruments through Cakewalk TTS, it plays through MIcrosoft GS Wavetable Synth. I'm stumpted... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

So, I am now back again with this question. I never got it to work prior so I just redid the MIDI track. However, now I would like to reduce the volume of just the Snare drum in a drum track. I select the drum number on the left hand side in PRV and it selects the snare only. I then play with the VEL on the left hand side which is currently set to 100%. No matter what I reduce that percentage to there is no difference in the volumne of the Snare drum. What am I missing? Thanks UPDATE: Nevermind... I figured it out.

I never stated that ALL vst3's will work in Cakewalk...right?

I use VST3's in Cakewalk all the time with no issue. I've been using AutoTune Artist with no issues prior. As mentioned, this was all working just fine until that message popped up out of the blue the other day. With that said...it's all working back to normal now. Have no idea what it was.

I was working on a project successfully yesterday but when I try to open it today I get the following error message and Cakewalk shuts down. I tried the REPAIR feature for Auto Tune Artest and it says it was successful however, I still get the same error and cannot open my project. Auto Tune Artist.vst3: Start Error Out of place engine initialization failed -> Application terminated!

ah... got it. Thanks again

I am working on a MIDI file where all the MIDI instruments are Cakewalk TTS. When I try to change a track to a different non TTS instrument it changes ALL the tracks to that instrument. When I add a new non TTS instrument track and copy the MIDI data to that track it plays just fine with the new instrument until I save it. Upon re-opening that MIDI file the track reverts back to Cakewalk TTS as the MIDI instrument even though the name of the instrument is the name of the non MIDI instrument I copied the MIDI data to. How do I get it to stop reverting back to Cakewalk TTS? Thanks

Ok... that works doing it one at a time. Thanks SCOOK!

Oh... that was not mentioned. I was trying to drag all 7 at one time. I will now try one at a time.

I was not dragging in the browser. I was dragging 7 MIDI tracks to one new one. And no, I am not holding Ctrl, I am holding Shift.

That doesn't work. it copies them again to individual tracks

I have a MIDI file with all the different drum parts on a separate track. I want to blend them together into one MIDI track. Is this possible? Thanks Tim

The issue is solved. All of the vocal track .wav files I was trying to import were corrupted. Once they sent me new .wav files all is working fine. Both drag and drop and import.

I am trying to add some vocal tracks that my friends sent me yesterday to a project I've been working on. Typically I can drag and drop the .wav files into my project. However, that is not working now. I've tried this with a couple projects I am working on and cannot drag and drop the vocal .wav files into the project. When i go to File / Import, Audio is greyed out and I can't import from there either. This has all worked fine in the past. What is happening now?
