Kontakt 7 full runs great inside Cakewalk as an instrument and as a standalone by itself. You should try uninstalling it from the computer and then re-install again from NI

My updates worked well without problems.

Hello folks, I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre because I am a hardware junkie and I love recording and mixing with hardware and plugins. I needed a way to connect extra hardware as I ran out of channels with my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and so, the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre justified the purchase and allowed the use of 8 more external connections. I had the hardest time getting this set up in Cakewalk By Bandlab because all of the videos I watched didn't say anything much about DAW Setup, but here is where reading is fundamental. The Audio Interface manual spells it all out if you just read it. It is important that you know the In and Out table for the mode being used for the Audio Interface you are using. Audio Interface connected to the computer via USB-C = Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. Expander unit being used to provide 8 extra channels of I/O = Focusrite Scarlette OctoPre Only have the Audio Interface on at this port for setup. ======================================== To expand your audio Interface, you will plug a Toslink (ADAT) cable into the primary Audio Interface (Scarlett 18i20) ADAT IN port on the back of the unit. Then plug the other end of the Toslink (ADAT) cable into the ADAT OUT port on the back of the Preamp you are using, (Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre). Open the audio configuration software for your Audio Interface. For my Scarlett 18i20, I use Focus Control. The simplest way of syncing the devices is to set the Clock Source of the Audio Interface to ADAT, next set the Sample Rate to either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. The Sample Rate used here will allow for 8 channels to be used within the Audio Interface from the Preamp. Finally, set the I/O Mode to S/PDIF RCA and Save and Close out of your Audio Interface Software and shut down your Audio Interface. Next, turn back on your Audio Interface and at least for the Focusrite brand, you should have everything already set up for you in the software. The ADAT digital format can carry up to 8 channels of audio and this depends on the sample rate you wish to use. 44.1/48kHz - 8 channels 88.2/96kHz - 4 channels 176.4/192kHz - 2 channels For Focusrite: In the Focus Control Software, set the following: (Monitor Outputs) select Playback 1-2 (Line Outputs 3-4) select Playback 3-4 (Line Outputs 5-6) select Playback 5-6 (Line Outputs 7-8) select Playback 7-8 (Line Outputs 9-10) select Playback 9-10 (S/PDIF Outputs 1-2) select Playback 11-12 ADAT Outputs 1.1-1.2 select Playback 13-14 ADAT Outputs 1.3-1.4 select Playback 15-16 ADAT Outputs 1.5-1.6 select Playback 17-18 ADAT Outputs 1.7-1.8 select Playback 19-20 Click Monitor Outputs, and it should now be highlighted black, now click the plus "+" symbol to the right and highlight Analog numbers 1-8 or click the number pairs if you want to add Stereo channels to Focus Control. If using S/PDIF click that also and then select ADAT channels 1-8 either as stereo pairs or as individual channels, If you want to add Loop Back, select that too . For the Software Playback, Click the "+" symbol and click the numbers 1-8, as individuals outs or as pairs. Next, save as a preset or just quit You can decide if you want the above to remain stereo or mono channels. Save and Close out of your Audio Interface software and shut down your Audio Interface. Now turn on your Preamp, for me I use the Focusrite Scarlette OctoPre. On the unit set the Clock Source to INTERNAL, set the SAMPLE RATE to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, and then turn on the Audio Interface to make sure they sync up. You should see GREEN lights or the word SYNC appear. For the Focusrite OctoPre, there is only a green dot on the front screen, the lock itself doesn’t turn green. In Cakewalk go to Edit > Properties and you will see the the Focusrite inputs and outputs. The have to be renamed in order to properly assign the correct input and output to the correct channel. INPUT DRIVERS: Set the Friendly Naming Convention in Cakewalk: Focusrite Input 1/2 Focusrite Input 3/4 Focusrite Input 5/6 Focusrite Input 7/8 Focusrite Loopback 9/10 SPIDIF 11/12 Focusrite ADAT IN 1/2 Focusrite ADAT IN 3/4 Focusrite ADAT IN |5/6 Focusrite ADAT IN 7/8 Apply, OK. When in the Track Pane, the IN’s and OUTs will work with the inputs and outs selected for the Focusrite 18i20 or the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre. You will see when selecting inputs in Cakewalk Focusrite Input 1 L = Channel 1 L Focusrite Input 1 R = Channel 2 R Focusrite Input 1 S = (Stereo) 1L/2R Focusrite Input 3 L = Channel 3 L Focusrite Input 3 R = Channel 4 R Focusrite Input 3 S = (Stereo) 3L/4R Focusrite ADAT IN 1L = Channel 1L Focusrite ADAT IN 1R = Channel 2 R Focusrite ADAT IN 3 S = (Stereo) 1L/2R and so on...

I though it was my browser, but then I tried other websites and I was able to get to them without any problems. That's when I knew it had to be a Cakewalk problem.

I've been watching his channel for a while and I like his evaluations on audio hardware. He is really funny when takes a sledge hammer to stuff!! -
Shane, Say it isn't so,!!! Never stop recording or mixing, you continue until they remove your lifeless stiff rigamortis fingers from the control surface faders.

Alright Already, when Is Sonar being released!!
jesse g replied to jesse g's topic in The Coffee House
Bapu, I think there will be way more in the New Sonar that will not be available in the CbB version. I don't think were being told about everything that will be included in the release. I had a trial of Studio One 6 Pro and I liked using it very much, especially the Pipe Line XT with my outboard gear. So I am thinking about purchasing the Studio One 6.2 Pro version for my Studio Desktop and just using the freebie version of CbB on my laptop. However, I want to make sure that the new Cakewalk Sonar has a chance to remain my favorite DAW. The one I choose will be the one that will be installed on my Desktop Computer and the one I will mainly use, -

jesse g replied to jesse g's topic in The Coffee House
I really like CbB, but I really don't care for the External Insert section. I like using Pipeline XT in Studio One 6. It has a better view and the managing of it is better as well. Bakers, can you change the External Inserts in CbB ???? Please !!! -

Waves adding a 2nd license - Fans rejoice! (Yes, it’s irony…)
jesse g replied to Yan Filiatrault's topic in Deals
I love using hardware, however, the problem is that I can't place what I want on several tracks without mixing it down first. So, I guess I will have to get more hardware and less plugins. Sorry Waves, but I gotta kick you to the curb. -

I say boycott Waves until they get some sense. I rock Plugin Alliance, Soundtoys, Melda, UA and many others. -
Bapu, That was you best installed ever. ?
-
Ok, I am home now, and as Bapu would say, Installed!! Nice improvements. I reinstalled all of my owned PA plugins via the PA plugin installer, just in case there was an update I didn't know of that I may have missed. ?
-
Nice, thanks for the rapid response. Updating as soon as I get home from work. ?
-
Thanks Larry, Is this an update I can do by reinstalling Metric AB through the PA installer?
