so true, but if they make me sing for my supper, they're the ones who will truly suffer... ?

it's only "right wing" if it's a conspiracy "theory", it's "left wing" when it's a conspiracy "fact". like the JFK assassination is now conspiracy facts - all left wing CIA, FBI (Hoover), Johnson, etc folks to stage a coup as JFK was too right wing for them... lol

the CA-2A is. and you can find your product code in your product list.

is the old keyboard lighting up the LED on the midisport when you play? if not, then check your controller settings. and then maybe use something like MIDI Ox to check on what is coming across if the lights are flickering.

check the size of the old one i had remm'd out and the newer one and the PC2A are about 10K different... whereas the CA-2A is significantly larger -- ~1.2mb ... but maybe because it's a VST w/ registry entries for use as a PC module as well as a VST plugin...

interesting. the opposite of my system until i just downloaded the updated PC2A. maybe re-install the CA-2A?

i usually (after tweaking things) hover over the RFX box on the Melodyne-region FX track, and select "Copy MIDI". then render last. never even occurred to me to render then drag as the Copy MIDI option is right there... partly because the MIDI is then on the clipboard.

yeah, i downloaded the DLL (from a link in the post i shared) and it's 10K smaller than the one labelled ".old" and it seems to be working ok (although the CA-2A has the option to be side chained whereas the PC2A does not). so i must have disabled it when it was causing problems.

in my folder - the module has been renamed as ".old" -- maybe i did that when it was buggy?

what module is the PC2A? i think i have all the PC modules and do not see any PC2, only PC4 modules. did you mean the CA-2A compressor? note that not all PC modules came with SONAR and had to be purchased separately. however, there are plenty of free and paid versions of an LA-2 compressor including UAD, Waves, Slate, and free products.

sorry -- your roaming profile path: C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core

maybe it's a permission issue to the file or folder? the INI file is in the C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core folder. rename it so you can recover it if necessary. what is the VST you're trying to record? of course running Windows 7 may be a bit long in the tooth nowadays as well...

modern vector graphics. this is the way ?

yes - if you're only saving it as a bundle to transfer, then so a save-as to a normal project on the far end (does it work like that?) - there is still some potential for overwriting the good version on the far end - so definitely recommend (in all cases - bundled or not - really) to create versions of the projects so they get their own folders when you "unpack them" and then maybe get in the habit of only keeping the last two versions (space savings and clutter).

did you try holding shift when loading a project to go into safe mode to make sure it's not a plugin? then you could try reinstalling the SPLAT redistributables as OS updates (if you're using an OS which is getting updates) can easily impact the functionality. i'd try the redistributables first. while re-installing the core app is not a lot of disruptions, it could be, so last choice for me.

as HOOK noted - the bit depth should be ok -- except -- the 16-bit may be lower quality or have some clips etc depending on the material and how it was recorded. if your project is 32-bit the 16-bit will be padded with the lower bits set to zero until you hard edit them (like bounce to clip) when the new files should become 32-bit (as any processing which then impacts the lowest 16 bits will become non-zero). if there was a sample rate difference - those should have been altered when you added them otherwise you'd get a warning if somehow you slipped them in (not easy so unlikely).

and the idea that using automation instead of MIDI fails when plugins don't have automation on their controls... and technically, VST3 can use MIDI, with the caveat that a) it's not to the specification if you do code it; b) it's a bit of extra work and realistically, if plugin developers started to do it regularly, Steinberg could pull their license or alter any supporting libraries to screw it up more... does CLAP support full MIDI and automation in the specification / libraries?

ugh! learn! not when i can ask a forum for the answer... ?

the trick was to "save as" so the new project file was only taking the bounced files with it (the example John was showing) so there is a reduction. and this is generally a best practice for archiving or sharing projects - bounce tracks from zero (1:01) to end (or export tracks for the same consolidation and reload) and save the project as "myproject-v###" or "myproject-v###-ARCHIVE" etc etc so it's "clean". best to also include project documentation - track list, effects, settings, other metadata, lyrics, artists, etc so if you revisit a project years later you can be refreshed...

the interesting thing about the Synth V - if you imagine yourself as a producer training a singer - here are the notes and a reference track, then tweak to the "singers" voice, it is very like coaching someone on a song but letting them do their thing. in the vocal libraries i'm using, they're created from real singers so they're not really synthetic. the singers who provided their voices had to sing the "phonomes" which is what the engine uses to assemble the vocals. i'm actually impressed someone had the vocal chops to sing partial words and sustain sounds (for editing) (and like thousands of them) and in one of my libraries, in 3 wholly different languages...

do you have "open all devices" set to on? in the past this has caused people to experience slowness and many open files. if you only connect the 828x is it still slow?

i have a pair of powered USB 3.1 6-slot strips with individual power buttons. run all disks off one (content and project drive) + dongles for Waves and iLok, and the other strip for music keyboards, Logitech adapter, IO unit, etc so the faster port is the disks and the slightly slower is the rest. placed off the side of the laptop with my keyboard & mouse only a foot or so away. excellent performance for all and no issues on interrupts or disk access.

i seem to remember that this (when not using all of them) caused a significant number of file to be opened and some allocation which was causing severe performance degradation... of course if you need them open, then you need them.

as a quick test - this happens in all projects? only this one? or only new ones since an update?
