ASIO can only (usually) handle one IO device at a time. First uncheck the Solid State Logic boxes (both input and output) and you should be able to select the Zoom stuff.

Try highlighting the clip and pressing 'K' (clip mute)

Have you got every track selected?

Thanks for testing things out, bvideo. Hopefully the bakers will check this out.

Then why don't you try it out, and see if it works like you're telling every else. Oh right, you already have and it works perfectly.

Hey bdickens, thanks for the great info! Just a couple of quick YES or NO questions for you. 1. Have you sat down for a few minutes with Piano Roll, put in a note and moved it around to different locations, while playing around with the Window settings to see if Quantize picked up your note or not? 2. If so... did you get the results you were expecting?

Has anyone else tried checking out the accuracy of this? I haven't got good results.

Sorry folks, it appears that when you split the instrument track that both are selected by default. My problem was not realizing this. When I make sure only the track I want to move is selected everything works fine. Thanks for everyone's help.

Anyone else tried it? I did this first thing in an empty project, if it makes any difference. Doesn't work every time for me. Thanks!

Nice video, John, but have you tried specifically what I was asking about (the Window option of Quantize)? I thought I understood it, and was trying to demonstrate it to someone what these options did, and I found the Window to be very inaccurate. Thanks!

Open up an instument track in Track view. Then Split Instument Track. Now try to move the Midi track on the other side of the Audio track. There seems to be a problem there.

I don't think the quantize Window setting works properly. Either that or I just don't understand it, in which case I think the documentation can be a bit clearer. If I am quantizing to the quarter note, I am under the impression that a window of 100 would include everything from half way to the previous quarter note to half way to the next quarter note. If I reduce the window to 70 say, I would think it would shorten the window by 15% on each side...and so on. Swing setting is at 50. I've been playing around on the piano roll by placing a note where I would say it's definitely out of range of the window, but it gets quantized anyway. I could make a video but if anyone tries to play around on the piano view with one note, I think you'll see what I mean. And it's no better in Sonar X3. Or if I'm not understanding something, maybe someone could set me straight!

Its under the Tracks menu in the Tracks View

Get them to send you an audio click track as a track. They could record the metronome onto a aux track.

Are you using a Positive Grid (BIAS) product? There is a problem with these plug-ins that cause this issue. They have known about it for a couple of years and don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it.

I assume that your talking about Cakewalk. You can get Sforxando right here... sforzando (plogue.com) You can drag soundfonts on to it.

Yes they are compatible!

Although, I have never owned or used this machine, I have used similar recorders. I had a look at the documentation for it and there are only 2 Outs ( 1 stereo ). I'm sure that if you want to record more than two tracks at once, you could record them on your Zoom and transfer the audio files into Cakewalk. I don't know offhand how to do it, but I'm sure that there is a way. Tip: take the SD card out of your recorder and put it in your computer, it's way faster than USB.

Have you got your Scarlett set to "Instrument"?

I've had issues with Schepps Omni Channel before and what cured it was hitting the reset button from the VST Settings section in Preferences.

I think it would be nice to have a button to open the property page of VSTi's the way it is in Track View. Often if you are in Console View you are at work on a mix and it kind of breaks the flow to have to switch to another view to edit a soft synth. Great work!

What is the quickest / best way to get at the property page of software instruments from Console View? A button might be nice here!

I found my letter! It is the directions on how to clean install Cakewalk. This is from Support (Mike)....... "To completely remove all Cakewalk software from your computer and reinstall it, follow the steps below. Please note that this will remove any effects presets and key bindings you may have made in your Cakewalk software. You can back these up separately if you like, using Utilities menu > Cakewalk Plug-in Manager, Edit > Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts and Edit > Preferences > Customization > Colors. 1) Run all Cakewalk uninstallers. This is normally done by utilizing the Add/Remove programs tool from the Control Panel. BandLab Assistant and the previous Cakewalk Command Center also have uninstall options within their respective programs. 2) After the uninstall process is complete, open the Run Prompt. In Windows 7, 8, and 10, this can be done by holding down the “Windows” key and pressing “R” on the keyboard. 3) At the Prompt, type regedit and click [OK]. 4) Click [Yes] if asked to allow the program to make changes to your computer. Important: When you access the Registry Editor, create a backup by going to File > Export. In the Export Registry File window that comes up, make sure “Export range” is set to “All” and that “Save as type” is set to “Registration Files (*.reg)”. It is very important to create a backup of your registry because if you accidentally delete a registry key, there is no undo function. You can, however, double-click on the Registry backup you made above to re-import your registry keys if you make any mistakes. You must re-import your backup (if needed) before restarting your computer. 5) Delete the following Registry keys. If you do not have one of the Registry keys below, simply proceed to the next one on the list. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cakewalk Music Software HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Cakewalk Music Software 6) Open the Run Prompt again. 7) Copy and paste %appdata% into the prompt and click [OK]. On Windows 7, 8, and 10, the “AppData\Roaming” folder will open. 8) Right-click on the Cakewalk folder and select “Delete”. 9) Open the following directories and delete their contents: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk C:\Program Files(x86)\Cakewalk 10) At this point, you can reinstall your Cakewalk software via BandLab Assistant. Note: Any products from 2015-2017 should be available to install via the previous Cakewalk Command Center, while older programs may need the original install disc. --------- We're actually updating some parts of the program to not rely on the older redistributables, as some of those parts were originally built with those in mind. Now that we're doing quite a bit of cleanup work, that particular issue should not come back in the future! In any event, if you have any questions or need help along the way, please do get in touch and we'll always be happy to help." Good luck!

I think I've had this problem. I solved it by re-installing Windows and everything but I hope you don't have to do all that. A good person from Cakewalk (I think his name was Mike) wrote me a note with instructions, too late for me, and I can't find his instructions. I'll continue to look for them, but it involved the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. One thing to try might be to Uninstall them all (make sure you write down exactly what you uninstalled) and install the same things from the Microsoft website ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads). If it doesn't help, I would write the support and probably someone would give you a few more tips. Let me know how you make out.

A couple of other things..make sure echo is enabled on both tracks. And out of the box ...middle C is the only key that works, on my system, anyway. You could try changing MIDI - Process, to Pass (top right area) and I would think that if the keyboard works, you're good. Change Pass back to Process to go back to InstaChord mode. You got to load some Presets and Press C3 along with C5 and play around pressing a low key and a high key at once. For me, I found that the time it took me to learn this one would have been better spent on my keyboard skills! Good luck!
