@Olaf you might want to reach out to @Noel Borthwick and have the team look at the project file you're using/created so they can try to recreate the steps you've described here. probably the fastest way to solve this.

+1 on the UR22 (or 242) - rock solid interfaces with decent performance

also, recheck some windows settings as well: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d

actually there are a number of features in CW which provide tempo changes to audio files - and depending on the content - can be effective. in some cases though, the stretching and slicing needed to change a tempo can produce undesired artifacts. so check out the options for modifying tempo.

does deleting the presets.db remove any custom presets?

the presets.db is a SQL lite file, so unless there is a rollback function (which the "restore" button sounds like) you'd have to reload that db file. depending on how you backup your system, you might be able to restore that file to its last known good config. another thought (if re-installing isn't an option) is to install it on anther system, bring up the preset you want, document it (photo etc) and configure and save it as the factory preset on your main system.

i have the AT 3035 but if i was looking for a mic under $100 (and assuming you haven't already bought the #1 universal mic the Shure SM-57 at about $100) the Audio Technica 2020 is an excellent choice.

so, the typing is really fast then? ?

what i do is add the image to a project file (which is my template also) then save it as a project file. next - rename the file to <templatename>.cwt. the image is now part of the template and as subsequent project saves from that template. move (or copy) that file into your project templates folder.

the adapter is key - i used a type-c to type-a "smart adapter" ('cause it also does hdmi and charging) and plugged an M-Audio Keystation 49 and voila! (e.g. https://smile.amazon.com/Adapter-Charging-Multiport-Projector-Monitor（Gray）/dp/B07R7PD8TR) it worked when you have the right programs - like the midi piano, caustic, and there are some midi "controller"/"converter" type out there as well, however, in trying a bunch of free ones, they did no controlling or converting ? i did this experiment to get my daughter set up with her phone and tablet. so it's mainly: 1) get the right adapter - a powered one is better because it will supply the keyboard power rather than draining the phone - if you're planning on being in the wilderness - perhaps a solar charger is in order ? 2) you'll have to play with different software products to see which ones work. there is not a lot of free ones that do a good job, and i didn't feel compelled to spend money on something that was really just trying to see if i could get it to work...

i keep a printed cheat sheet of my buss/track color scheme (small squares with color, RGB#, name of buss). i only have about 30 busses so the groups of them are similar that if my overall template doesn't solve it, i can create a new custom version. although i tend to just use the main templates and trim out what i don't need rather than try to create new versions with track templates (and hopefully someday buss templates!)

yeah! then you get the best sound from your 8-bit crusher distortion analog-defect reproduction VSTs! ?

triangle or square wave setting on the synth oscillator(s). sine waves can be hard to hear so the triangle and square wave harmonics will likely be more noticable with lower volume levels...

my first thought would be the power rectifier tube is fritzing, or the power supply caps are on the way out. doubtful it's the transformer. one option would be to swap out the four (4) tubes for a new set. if you'd don't have electronics repair skills - then take it to a proper shop for repair because changing out components can make things worse if not done correct - product choice and installation etc.

it's not the format, it's the option of players on the iphone. if you connect your iphone to your PC, you can directly copy files between them (with the correct drivers) and then install another player which can access those files and play them. otherwise bow in obedience to Apple... ?

maybe create a MIDI clip with notes at each velocity - 1, 5 ,10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. if it's a sample based VSTi, it's likely a limit of the sample scaling used, if it's synthesized, maybe some velocity range is imposed to create "realism". perhaps a pure synth set to square or triangle tone would show/sound correctly.

just to summarize - we're asking about the 64-bit engine - on or off - with regards to how it impacts the rendering of 1) the mixing process, 2) the export out file? maybe @Noel Borthwick can clarify but my understanding is the 64-bit engine processes using 64-bits versus 32-bits in-CPU/in-memory and then depending on your project word size, would store the results by either truncate? or dither? or as @Milton Sica notes - we don't really know what's going on ?

or go to the display menu on the lower left and select the options you want and save the workspace(s) if it's not global (i think it is)

it's likely that few people would notice single vs double float processing - i believe in the old forum someone had done some tests with reverb tails tapering more nicely on the double float but it was also specifically testing for it versus what it would be in normal material. since the 64-bit option has been there in SONAR and CbB, i always have it checked. i'm perfectly comfortable using 64-bit processing ?. i just don't use any type of float when processing overnight fed fund currency swaps ? as a note, i generally export either 48K or 44.1K @ 24-bit, no dither WAV. subsequent processing via Ozone 9 which may or may not use double float to render 44.1K 16-bit WAV and MP3.

i'm thinking the #2-3 is akin to "bounce to track" effect where the (apparently temporary nature of the gain control) is effecting the level. my guess - the soft synth output is being written to a temp memory queue or temp file while recording it and so its acting like a clip input, it has that level adjustment, but once done, the proper clip file is written, it's written as unity gain as noted. so when recording it from a patch point, which is receiving the gain variations, it does actually record that. my guess is we need an updated flow diagram ? and/or perhaps letting the gain level work on inbound audio regardless of source... (which is likely what the majority of folks would expect).

as a note: the original joking around by the Bakers (per Noel and some others) was calling it WASABI... it may have been an internal name by Microsoft as well...

yes, not surprising [cough. cough] competition with [cough, cough] paid products is [cough, cough] heating up... ?

dealing with intricacies of MIDI often require some details... the OP seemed happy with the original response - use automation. now they're at the point of finding the optimal or alternative MIDI CC which do this best...

oh, did any one notice the VoS plugins are (being) updated to 64-bit? a minor issue to download. a lifetime to enjoy. i love the baxter EQ and density ones!

since when do you have 10 seconds? ?
