From Wikipedia History Development In the early 1980s, there was no standardized means of synchronizing electronic musical instruments manufactured by different companies.[5] Manufacturers had their own proprietary standards to synchronize instruments, such as CV/gate and Digital Control Bus (DCB).[6] Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi felt the lack of standardization was limiting the growth of the electronic music industry.[6] In June 1981, he proposed developing a standard to Oberheim Electronics founder Tom Oberheim,[5] who had developed his own propriety interface, the Oberheim System.[7] Kakehashi felt the system was too cumbersome, and spoke to Sequential Circuits president Dave Smith about creating a simpler, cheaper alternative.[7] While Smith discussed the concept with American companies, Kakehashi discussed it with Japanese companies Yamaha, Korg and Kawai.[5] Representatives from all companies met to discuss the idea in October.[5] Using Roland's DCB as a basis,[6] Smith and Sequential Circuits engineer Chet Wood devised a universal synthesizer interface to allow communication between equipment from different manufacturers. Smith proposed this standard at the Audio Engineering Society show in November 1981.[2]:4 The standard was discussed and modified by representatives of Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Kawai, and Sequential Circuits.[5][8]:20 Kakehashi favored the name Universal Musical Interface (UMI), pronounced you-me,[7] but Smith felt this was "a little corny".[9] However, he liked the use of "instrument" instead of "synthesizer", and proposed the name Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI).[9][2]:4 Moog Music founder Robert Moog announced MIDI in the October 1982 issue of Keyboard.[10]:276 At the 1983 Winter NAMM Show, Smith demonstrated a MIDI connection between Prophet 600 and Roland JP-6 synthesizers. The MIDI specification was published in August 1983.[5] The MIDI standard was unveiled by Kakehashi and Smith, who received Technical Grammy Awards in 2013 for their work.[11][12][13] The first MIDI synthesizers were the Roland Jupiter-6 and the Prophet 600, both released in 1982. 1983 saw the release of the first MIDI drum machine, the Roland TR-909,[14][15] and the first MIDI sequencer, the Roland MSQ-700.[16] The first computers to support MIDI were the NEC PC-88 and PC-98 in 1982,[17] and the MSX (Yamaha CX5M)[18] released in 1983.[19]

It sounds to me like a huge deal. If you want us to look at this you need to give a little bit of info about your system. OS, Audio interface, Memory amount, CPU and GPU. The more information the better. What steps have you tried so far. Is there a time when this crashing wasn't happening?

The thread is not in compliance with being non political. Please refrain in future from posting this kind of thing.

PBS sometimes hits a home run!

It seems every time I use an assistant to DL something I often have to update the assistant before I can update the item. I think some of it is due to security. It may not have anything to do with security but I do believe they do need to know for sure who is downloading.

There is a ton of stuff on Ozone and mastering in general. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel on a forum. I have written a lot myself on the old forum on this subject. What I have seen and come to know is Ozone is a very fine plugin. Yet, it can ruin a mix very easily. Also, not everything needs Ozone or mastering. I think if the user has an notion of what they want in the sound, how they want it to sound; and from that get a mix as close to it as they can they are better off in the long run. It really doesn't matter what is used to get there. The Izotope Mastering Guide is a good place to start. In the end I said what I said because I believe it really is true and it boils down to that point.

When you type in the "control panel" it will show in Cortana as a program icon. Drag that to your desktop or pin it to your taskbar and start page. This will give you easy access.

Do you have the latest version of Bandlab assistant?

Hotel California. ?

My advice is a little Ozone goes a long way. When using it restraint is the key.

You do know that CW no longer exists. The servers are not going to have much traffic going out.

Not only do I install a platinum version but I go back to Sonar 8.5 to pick up Pantheon and a couple of others. I don't install the core program but only the plugins I want.

Another word for two way communication is feedback.

I do everything on my computers. That is the point of software. Without it a computer is a block of nothing. Add software and it can do anything you want it to do. I suppose that if you run a business centered around a computer it should be dedicated to the job for that business. Otherwise, I see no reason to limit ones self to only doing one thing and only one thing. I do video I also do photography and yes I do music. Each is done not for myself alone but others and I do a lot of documentations of events. I do DJ work too. I have laptops, desktops and tablets to help accomplish the jobs I do. When I not doing anything for anyone I will on occasion play a game or two.

You should have an audio interface for recording the sound from the deep mind 6. If you are using the internal sound chip of your computer it can exhibit the symptoms you describe.

And so have I. What I am trying to do, perhaps badly, is to tell you is I still have no idea what you are after. You have yet to make a definitive statement. Spell it out in easy to understand statements and, who knows, I might agree with you. Talking about Ableton live is no help to me. I don't have it or have used it. All I know for sure is you don't like the way keybindings work in Cakewalk and that is all I know from your postings. If you want anyone to agree with you, you need to be persuasive.

All very good points. One huge reason I leave the defaults keybndings alone is communicating with others . Those keybindings that are not bound I do bind to keys of my choice. The OP may not know that Cakewalk can import keybindings from other DAWs. There is one for Logic and one for Cubase.

OK maybe there is a language problem. I'm simply not understanding you at all. What I wrote 10 years ago has nothing to do with your thread. Besides D is for the dock. That thread from so long ago it has no meaning. I am trying to help you get across your ideas to improve the keybinding by asking you to be more detailed about what you want. Bringing up a very old thread that has nothing to do with this or you isn't helping.

Thanks for the animated picture. I just checked it out in Cakewalk and you are right . It should grow and shrink as one zooms in and out.

OK that link goes to a page which is not working. What I'm asking is what is it you don't like about the keybinding in Cakewalk? I have found it easy to use and very useful. If you want improvements listing them in a rational order and with enough detail for the the developers to have some idea what you are asking for would help greatly.

How about a picture. I don't know what is being said here.

I wish I knew what you are talking about.

Right General MIDI 2 is the full name. My view is it seems we are only interested in GM in relation with a DAW. I am not talking about patches but how we use MIDI. Nor did I see anything in the documents that says anything about how it will impact a DAW. To me most softsynths have their own way of using MIDI. They don't follow the GM spec. I also have a Rolond 5080. I really like that box.

On my SC 8850 is is marked with MIDI2. Also GS. MIDI 2 in those days took GZ and XG and incorporated them into what was called MIDI 2. It also upped the number of patches from 128 to 256. Yes it was GM. The SC 8850 has over 1500 accessible patches. That is based on GS though.

So what about the old MIDI 2? My Sound Canvas 8850 is a MIDI 2 device. Also if there was a MIDI 2 why are they calling this one MIDI 2?
