SI Drum Kit - Why do some of the notes not make sound?
David Baay replied to ThexEmperorx's topic in Feedback Loop
TTS-1 is a full 16-channel Multitimbral GM instrument. Like all GM instruments drums are on channel 10 by default. All other channels default to piano, but can be changed. -
latency Extreme Lag/Latency Using Hardware Synth
David Baay replied to Ratthew's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Sorry. Glanced to quickly; thought you were on the Audio Driver page. MME is correct for most MIDI interfaces. As mentioned, Manual Offset is on the Audio > Sync and Caching page. Easiest way to set it accurately is to download and run the free CEntrance Latency Tester with an audio cable patched between an input and an output on your interface. Then set Manual Offset as the Measured Latency minus Reported Total Round Trip. https://centrance.com/driverfolder/CE_LTU_37.zip- 19 replies

David Baay replied to ThexEmperorx's topic in Feedback Loop
How did you go about that, exactly? So far as I know, SI Drums offers only a basic kit with no percussion or other sounds. It's not a General MIDI instrument. EDIT: TTS-1 offers a full GM drum kit, and there are many free drum synths available that will include at least some percussion. -
latency Extreme Lag/Latency Using Hardware Synth
David Baay replied to Ratthew's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
That shows your Driver Mode is MME, an outdated protocol for PC audio. The Arturia should have native ASIO drivers. Change the mode to ASIO and see what you get. It should work much better overall and allow you to run a lower buffer size. Also, I would suggest you lower your MIDI Prepare Using buffer to 50ms. 500ms was the old default before the MIDI buffering code was revised. Values that high should not be necessary any more, and might actually cause issues.- 19 replies

David Baay replied to Ratthew's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Seems most likely an issue with the Korg as the the interface and CbB would not be aware in any way that a knob s being turned on the synth. Possibly the Korg is generating controller messages that are being received by the track and echoed back out to the Korg. Make sure the Input Echo button is disengaged (you might need to disable Always Echo Current MIDI Track in CbB Preferences) or configure the Korg not to send controller messages from its panel. Incidentally, I don't think it has any bearing on the current issue, but one oddity I see is that that your ASIO buffer is set to 256 samples (applicable each way, in and out), but the reported I/O latencies are much lower than that. This reported value comes from the driver and can never be smaller than the buffer size. That misreporting shouldn't matter in real time, but your record compensation is going to be way off without an appropriate Manual Offset entered in Sync and Caching.- 19 replies

Audio slide completely ruins arrangement of audio
David Baay replied to HuddahBuddha's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I still think that's only if the selection is partial, and your have Slide over to Make Room set in Drag and Dorp options. And a selection always moves as a contiguous block; clips within the selection should never move relative to eachother. I don't disagree with that, but it should have worked as expected based on my experience. And I'd be really curious to see and understand the scenario in which it doesn't. -
If you're using a synth that generates MIDI or echos input to a virtual MIDI OUT, you'll need to ensure that track inputs are set specifically to the port and channel your controller is on rather than All inputs/Omni. This is a best practice in any case.

Audio slide completely ruins arrangement of audio
David Baay replied to HuddahBuddha's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I'm actually not sure what scenario Mark is describing. I use slide a lot, and have never seen that behavior when sliding an entire track or project, and can't reproduce it now. The only time I've seen anything like that is when moving/sliding a partial selection with Slide Over Old to Make Room set in Drag and Drop options which has always been buggy (later material sometimes moves later than necessary or actually moves earlier when you're moving something ahead of it later). But that's all moot if you're starting with Select All. -
Audio slide completely ruins arrangement of audio
David Baay replied to HuddahBuddha's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Those are all good points/suggestions, but if the OP started with Select All and the meter is contant, that should have worked as expected, at least with regard to clip start times. Would probably need to see the specific project first hand to understand if the result was due to user error, faulty expectations for the circumstances, or an actual bug. -
Yes. In both cases, when the buttons are not lit/engaged, the underlying functions (PDC and FX processing) are working. When the buttons are lit/engaged, the normally working-by-default processes are bypassed/overridden.
-
Yes, the FX button also operates as a bypass/override. There has been a lot of virtual ink spilled over the arguably unintuitive and inconsistent labeling/lighting/functionality of these and other buttons in the Mix module. If we're lucky, the new Sonar will revise the iconography at least.
-
CbB is loading TTS-1 because the GM/GS Wavetable is not longer supported in CbB so its MIDI port is not available and you have no other hardware MIDI ports available. If you don't want to use TTS-1, you'll need to get an external hardware GM sound module or a multitimbral keyboard synth with a GM mode.
-
Yes, as the documentation shows, the button is to "Override" PDC on "live" (input-monitored) tracks. Note also that you can only override PDC on an input-monitored track if the PDC-inducing plugin is not on that track or in its path to the output.
-
Most likely due to Inadvertent imbalance of the separate L-R level controls on the "Main Out" hardware bus in the Console (drag the splitter at the far right to the left if you don't see it). You can double-click to reset them, and then click the Lock button to keep them together. EDIT: I always recommend exporting just the Master bus, anyway, because having a send to a secondary hardware out for any reason (e.g. a headphone mix) will get you in trouble with the two outputs being merged with Entire Mix.

Freezing multiple tracks in multiple audio tracks at once!
David Baay replied to carlo's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Quick-grouping should work with freeze buttons. Ctrl+A to select everything, then Ctrl+click a freeze button. -
[SOLVED] Laptop Fan Stops System Cold Every Few Minutes
David Baay replied to sjoens's topic in Computer Systems
Did you re-install the MOBO Chipset drivers? I haven't built a system from scratch for quite a while so maybe Win10/11 take care of this for you, but it used to be SOP for a fresh O/S installation. -
... And I'm going to glom on to every CbB-is-flaky-unintuitive-and-unpredictable thread and write "This Happens to Me Too!!! And what's more , it does this other entirely unrelated weird thing when I mis-use it instead of reading my mind and doing what I want rather than what it's designed and documented to do based on the change I made to Preferences and promptly forgot about".
-
Not sure why you want to have two identical lanes of notes, but the behavior you describe would only happen if the clips are Linked (as indicated by fine dotted lines around the perimeter) which may be your default for Editing > Drag and Drop in Preferences. Right-click one of them and choose Unlink > Independent.
-
The only way you get overlapping notes like that is by editing or bouncing. It's not possible to record overlapping notes in single take from a controller unless it's sending on multiple channels and you're not restricting the input channel. If they are the same duration and 100% overlapping I can see you wouldn't be able to avoid selecting both by lasso as the whole purpose of lasso is to select everything in the time and pitch range the lasso encompasses, regardless of whether it's visible or not. In any case, I don't think it's reasonable to expect the DAW to be accomodate a situation that you can only get into by user error, and I'd be very surprised if lasso works differently in some other DAW. EDIT: Ironically the "merge" feature being requested here would actually make this scenario of overlapping notes and the resulting editing challenges more likely.
