Melodyne working fine for me as well. something to check - when you find a number of plugins misbehaving - re-run the redistributables for Cakewalk this happens to be the cure for when Microsoft Edge and several other companies are busy making your user experience better and embedding all the AI-wares to make sure every keystroke is a lead to a possible solution to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything...

pretty much John has the best way. the presets file content is binary and even if you check in the registry (under the intuitive names of ActiveMovie -> Presets, many of them have content where the name is missing (although a bunch of the commercial ones do have the names), so you'd have to guess at the list of content to determine if it's a plugin you want to keep the preset for. in this example, i knows its for my Channel Tools plugin as i use custom settings for set the width on stereo instruments. another option is to copy them all over - they're associated in the registry (under the vst listing) so they'll only be used by those programs anyways.

and you checked the audio level of the guitar before pressing record? https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.19.html very likely the guitar which is further away from the mic, needs additional level on the input.

thanks! i hadn't watched it (but did now). since i have the TTS-1 as well as the Coyote WT and the VSTSynthFont if i need a quick GM MIDI i should be good to go. one of the things i use TTS-1 for is to quickly capture the markers and tempo changes from the MIDI i export from Hookpad (hookpad.hooktheory.com). then import my regular recording template. re-arrange the MIDI into my normal instruments and i'm ready to record, arrange etc...

then there is the coolsoft virtual synth https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth i used to have it installed when i wanted something with more control vs the MS synth.

no idea unless you disarmed the audio track. either way, if you recorded the MIDI, you can just play it while you re-record the audio.

maybe share the solution so other can learn?

yes, i set mine to all 24-bit (24/24/24) and when i checked several projects (to be sure ? ) where i know i did a lot of rendering steps, all of them were 24-bit as expected.

Alt+9 = open synth rack view, then the + symbol and then select EZDrummer --- OR ---- open add track and select the Instrument tab select Ezdrummer 3, advanced -> split instrument track -> output type you desire

and in effect, 32-bit is "lossy" because of the float... same reason banks don't use floating point for currency calculations... e.g .https://dzone.com/articles/never-use-float-and-double-for-monetary-calculatio

divide and conquer! if you find it's the FX then at least you know it vs tracks. either way you'll still need to do the elimination steps - but you could also divide the project into 1/2 of the tracks first, then if the same you know it's the other set. etc. might be speedier if you have a lot tracks...

this might help getting past the first one or two entries in the search results... ? https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/soundfonts-and-sfz-files The list below are different from other sf2/sf3/sfz online depositories, in that these virtual instruments contains at least one Musescore 3 compatible attenuation modulator. That is, they are engineered to at least responds to one volume-affecting MIDI data exchange practice used by Musescore 3, such as MIDI velocity.

Musescore has some large SF2 files available which form the basis for their orchestration. and there are a quite a few free SF2 GM files out there. note: musescore.org and ONLY the free software - do not use the Musehub unless you like the pain and suffering thing. musescore.com is the paid score site - unless you want to pay for sheet music, i'd avoid that as well. Musescore (which is not a plugin) is pretty good at taking a MIDI file and converting into the right set of instruments. like TTS-1, not great instruments, but the Musehub sounds (imho) are not great either - so if i failed to mention not installing Musehub because of pain and suffering, then i suggest avoiding it...

this is a recorded triangle - if so - then the hiss is part of the audio and to get it to trail off while reducing the hiss - you might need to pre-process it using something like RX to remove and/or attenuate the noise and/or manually edit it. depending also on the perfection needed - use a sample or synth to re-create the triangle part (think of it as "drum replacement" or "sample augmentation" ? )

you can record 32-bit -- but if the IO is 24-bit then your LSB are 0. same thing if you have a 16-bit IO and record 24. and if you're using 32-bit files, then those LSB are quickly filled with the results of any hard processing writes or dithering. they do make 32-bit ADC (and corresponding DAC). and there are 32-bit IO units - https://prorec.com/best-32-bit-audio-interface/

since you're late to the party - as far as i'm aware, there was never going to be a "free forever" product while the Bandlab folks tried to get the product(s) in shape enough to sell commercially. and the discussion on the new commercial products has been underway for about a year... so either use an old version, or another free/low cost product. i'm on a fixed income but plan on either subscribing when the new Sonar is ready, or i'll use Reaper and suffer in silence. and yes, like any computer thingie, it's an excellent idea to future proof your archives by going to the simpliest model - in this case exporting WAV files, documenting everything, cleaning up, zipping/ etc and storing it across several platforms/disks etc in case you ever need to re-open it and do stuff, or someone finds it and want to resurrect it in ProTools or Studio One... LOL.

you can set the bit depth in the Preferences -> Audio Data otherwise it tends to use whatever bit depth your IO unit is set to use - including any virtualized settings like Sound Reference ID etc which uses 32-bit regardless of system settings...

did you install is as "administrator"? was it ever working and then something changed? you could hold the shift key while launching to go into safe mode but this sounds like an install issue -- in which case i'd likely reinstall it using the "run as admin" to make sure you can write to the program files directory

i have the Keystation 49 II and it's been reliable over many years and still one of my go-to keyboards. i recently (last year) acquired an NI S49 Pro which is very nice feel and i use it mainly because i can quickly scroll through instruments and patches with the Komplete Kontrol app. but if i was getting a new one, it would like be something like an Akai or similar 49 w/ the pads.

so you have the tracks? then follow step 3 in my explanation on assigning the mixer outputs. then name your tracks accordingly.

Alt+9 then use the + symbol to add the synth
