DAMN!!! ? I should have posted and then updated with the connection. Babes before Cubes! Maybe I can find a connection with Cubes? EDIT: The cubes and the babes are both sweet and so are the GTOs?

Just in case the connection is not obvious: "Girls Together Outrageously"

Just remembered where I heard of Robert Service. "Radio humorist and raconteur Jean Shepherd recorded a collection of Robert Service's poems, Jean Shepherd Reads the Poems of Robert Service." Used to listen to Jean Shepard's show as an impressionable teen! "War War War" sounds familiar, but I can't remember if I listened to it "back in the day." Good ol' Country Joe! Thanks for posting this!

Option to put the Multidock/Console view on the left or right side!
User 905133 replied to SVSX's topic in Feedback Loop
Interesting idea. For some of my Workspaces I float the Dock on a second monitor set up maxed size. Sometimes I will have just the Console, but sometimes I use the Dock's tabs so I can flip through pages on Monitor 2. I am trying to imagine what your proposed feature would do. UPDATE: Out of curiosity, have you (1) undocked the multi dock, (2) moved the floating window to your second monitor, and then (3) maximized it? Hmmm. Are you saying you also want the Inspector on Monitor 2, to the right of the multi dock but rather than positioning them manually, you want them to snap into place? I am sure I have some Workspaces where I placed multiple views onto my second monitor so I can recall that arrangement with the switch of a Workspace. Manually placing the views "just right" can take some effort, but sometimes I find the blue "snap to" feature annoying. -
Transfuser 2 by Air Music won't work in Cake? - Solved
User 905133 replied to LoopJunkie's topic in Instruments & Effects
Its a VST (not a VST3). My default installation has it in Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins. I don't use it but will checked to see if it works on my system. I assume you have that in your scan path and that you have not set your system to use only VST3s. It opens in Cakewalk, the loop list shows up, I can drag loops into the "Drop Track or Audio Files Here" Box, it does the analysis, and I can play the loop/file/sound. Hmmmm. I also have program files (x86)\air music technology and program files\air music technology in my scan paths. So maybe that's the default and I told the installer to use the Steinberg folder? Not sure. I use a tool called "Everything" and searching for transfuser*.dll found it in seconds. -
Aren't we supposed to have multiple licenses for the same products so we can keep extending the 30-year license? ?

moving a bunch of tracks to a new folder shuffles order
User 905133 replied to John Bradley's topic in Feedback Loop
Not sure its related, but before I did the folder creation and moving thing (above), I inserted the empty tracks I used. When I manually moved (highlighted frame/dragged] the tracks, track names changed as follows: ==> ==> ==> Again, not sure of any impact of the automatic naming/renaming of tracks on the folder moving/ordering issue. -
moving a bunch of tracks to a new folder shuffles order
User 905133 replied to John Bradley's topic in Feedback Loop
There seems to be some retention of the order of creation in my test. STEPS I USED: Create 5 tracks one at a time. They each get a default name that shows the order the tracks were created in. Reorder the tracks. I did not resave the new project (not sure that would make a difference). Rename the tracks to show the new order (using ordinal numbers!). Select all 5 tracks in a random order. Right click on first one. Select Move to Folder > New Track Folder. The order of the tracks in the folder is based on the order the tracks were created. Second Test: Undo the order from above. Reorder and rename the tracks. to show the new order. Select all 5 in a random order. Insert New Track Folder. Right click on the first of the five selected track. Select Move to Folder > Folder 1. NOTE: There are a lot of variations. I tried 3 more each time using either undo [sequential Ctrl+Z] or bulk [Edit > History]. One variation used the Menu Bar to create the New Folder (instead of right clicking). Each time (so far) the order of the moved files got rearranged to the original order as created and named [Track 1 . . . Track 5]. -
Updating plugins makes them non-functional in older projects
User 905133 replied to Bobo Fret's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Automation lanes and take lanes were in SONAR long before I ever tried them. I think it was in 2018 or 2019 that I finally used the take lanes. I had a bass pattern and I was testing melodic leads on top. That's when I decided that the comments box was useful. I think I had 18-20 of melodic lines with a bass pattern that was maybe 16 or 32 measures long. So I listened to them and took notes for later. -

User 905133 replied to Bobo Fret's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Expand the track. The Take Lanes button is at the bottom. I usually expand the track by dragging the bottom edge of the track down. Other use the expand/collapse button in the upper right corner of the track. Some people use keyboard shortcuts to expand the track. -

User 905133 replied to Bobo Fret's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yes its there, but without double clicking in the text area I don't think others can type in comments either. That's why I double click there. For all of the obvious, unnecessary stuff that's in there, the documentation doesn't tell people to double click (unless I missed it)!!! ? Maybe its different on different PCs? Maybe there's a way to bind "Open Take Lane Comments Box" to something else? [Nope; not that I saw] -

I select the take lane and double click on the text field. See this to expand the take lanes. This page shows item J. Comments in Figure 205. The "explanation" is the last item in the list of Track Lane controls. -
So far, I've only gotten one of the three that came bundled with SONAR a few years ago. Any ADPak recommendations from people who use them and found them helpful? Thanks.

Just my opinion: Based on the Multis I got with Syntronik 2, I don't think people should avoid the SYN2GB waiting to see if Multis will be included. From the ones I have that don't crash Syntronik 2 Full, they are OK as idea starters but I am guessing people will probably want to make their own. And if IK can get user presets and Multis into the ToneNet sharing system, I think that would be a good thing. For people interested in the new Instruments, from all the ones I have heard in CS and all the new presets I heard in Syntronik 2 Full (Classic Instruments), while the Multis are handy and will likely save some time, I think the larger part of the value of Syntronik 2 comes from the new synth engine with the new Edit Panel controls (4-layers, access to massive wave sets, etc.). Maybe I should ask Peter: Would I be violating anything proprietary to IK if I shared the factory Syntronik 2 Multis I have to SYN2GB participants here? They reference Instruments and Presets that are not part of the full version (i.e., the new Instruments that come with MAX or its equivalent). Without editing them (which is easy enough to do, though it would be time consuming), they are not much use to me since since I only have the limited, CS versions of the new Instruments and Presets . No longer relevant; see Peter's reply below.

I assume that's an in-house e-mail. Any idea when the contents will be shared with customers? (PS: Sorry to hear your head got "sliced off.")

Is this GAS-aholics semi-anonymous? ? Seriously, though, if it gets to one less than the full shebang** (buy 1 get 33) and the SYN2GB needs help getting over the top, I will pull together $35 cash + $15 jam points, $4 of which expire in June, if they use the FIFO method of accounting. Wait a sec. They are "Musicians First," not Accountants!!!! ? (So much for a brief foray into seriousness.) ? **Should I say "the MAX shebang" because Full doesn't have the 11 new instruments?

BTW (re: multis). I made a test Syntronik 2 multi the other day. Today, to sort some things out with my spreadsheet, I set Syntronik 2 to use just my Sample Tank 3 Library Folder. As expected: Syntronik 2 displays and plays the Generation 1 ["v1" st3-based] presets; it does not display the Generation 2 ["v2" st4-based] presets. The st3m multis are displayed and work The st4m multis are not displayed. The test multi which included some Generation 2 presets was displayed but crashed Syntronik 2, evidently because it referenced either (1) a SYN2 instrument path or (2) a SYN2 presets. The crash is consistent with crashes I experienced with some of the multis that came with Syntronik 2 Full and which included references to Instruments and Presets I didn't have. My test multi (as an st4m) had been stored in my user's Documents folder [. . . \ Documents\IK Multimedia\Syntronik 2\Multis\Syntronik 2]. All of that is fact. Here's the conjecture: Perhaps the technical people also discovered that Multis which have erroneous Instrument or Preset paths can cause crashes, they are working on that, and Peter is waiting for the technical people to report back on it. Just a guess. It could also be that I am the only one who has been having crashes with the SYN2 Multis.

If you have a standard stereo mini audio plug going from the headphones into the standard mini audio jack on the PC, it is not spdif.

First Impressions: I like that it has both an Options button and a Settings button clearly visible. Its tough to get used to playing its one-note-at-a-time mode. The way the octaves on the display jump around when lower and high notes are played is "unique." The UI is a bit "minimalistic." Some of the exposed parameters work (tested a few in Voltage Modular, both the dll and the vst3). Works on my PC at the smallest sample buffer size.

So does that mean if I make it through to the end of SYN2GB without buying in I am officially cured? ?

WOW. I learned something. MME-32 does indeed still work (somewhat). I just tested it with a 2011 era PC using my on-board audio device. However, once I start doing anything that involves using my PCs resources (visual resources that involve updating graphics, such as opening tracks, transport/scrolling, meters moving, recording, etc. ) I started to get that stupid crackling. I don't get that with WASAPI. Just playing a plug-in (Voltage Modular) that contains a soft synth (AAS's CV-1) and an FX Rack (IK's MixBox) in realtime from a usb keyboard, I do not get the crackling. My PC is an HP with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz processor and 8 GB RAM. UPDATE: The crackling seemed to go away when I minimized Cakewalk so there was no graphical updating of visual elements. Also, after I rebooted Cakewalk (still with MME-32), the only crackling I had was on a recorded track. I didn't get the crackling recording or playing new audio tracks. During playback, I even heavily resized a number of windows thinking that might trigger the crackling. (It didn't.) Not sure if shutting down Cakewalk and restarting it a few minutes later triggered something in the audio chain that cleared up the crackling. Probably just coincidental. Also, it is possible that PC services were using resource the first time that weren't being used after rebooting Cakewalk. (I didn't have Task Manager on at the time.) [image deleted to reclaim allotment] UPDATE: Switched back from WASAPI to MME-32; added another track to the test project from yesterday; recorded another audio track; played it back with yesterday's audio tracks; Cakewalk at just under 11% CPU; Total PC bouncing between 14 and 19% CPU; Memory at 68%. No crackling today. Hope you can fine tune your PC to get the audio working. Note: Not sure why I don't have the crackling using MME-32 because LatencyMon says: [image deleted to reclaim allotment] So even though LatencyMon says, "Your system seems to have difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns." Cakewalk and MME-32 is holding its own (no crackling). I can't explain it.

Some info to try to help others sort out facts from conjecture: Facts: I had several IK products including Syntronik 2 CS and SE. Then, on April 14th, I picked up TS3.5 MAX so I could upgrade Syntronik 2 SE. On April 15th, I installed a number of things which included: SYN2_Multis.zip, which included the multis I listed above. Some of the multis contained Instrument Paths to *.st3i files Instrument Paths to *.st4i files Some of these *.st4i files (and paths) I do not have because I don't have the instruments. Conjecture: Maybe at one point IK was working on TS 4 MAX but it wasn't ready for release and so TS 3.5 MAX was released which didn't include any of the 11 SYN2 MAX instruments. but did include the multis just in case would buy them ala carte? [Insert your own conjecture here] Who knows?
-
I can relate. If I knew that the SYN2GB was coming up, I probably wouldn't have gotten Syntronik 2 SE and TS3.5 which I got for Syntronik 2 Full. Do you think that's part of IK's marketing strategy? ?

AAS Multiphonics CV-1 Superbooth Modular Sale (Exclusive)
User 905133 replied to Larry Shelby's topic in Deals
Glad you are finding it useful! I was inspired by your comment to take the CV-1 --> VM audio and run it through MixBox. (Audio Out of the VM Hosted CV-1 into Audio In of VM Hosted MixBox.) MONDO CV-1 sound! Currently just controlled by usb keyboard --> VM but no reason it couldn't come from VM modules. Yup, VM's Plug-in Hosts don't work with everything, but I have found lots that do work (most of what I have tried). Parameter Panel for MixBox (serving as a MONDO FX Rack for CV-1) up to 19 MixBox parameters for each of the FX slots which get listed in VM's I/O Module. Playing very nicely (for the most part**)!!! ? **Parameters for MixBox's 8 slots show up in VM's parameter list, but since MixBox seems to default to showing only the first 4, I had to press MB's expand button to show all 8. It was a little tricky to get VM to resize MB (close VMH editor, reopen, slide onto second monitor to force it to resize due to monitor resolution differences, slide back onto main monitor). Just in case someone is thinking this is off topic from the CV-1 Deal: Full Circle as per CV-1 and VB's comment about interconnecting modules: (1) CV-1's audio can serve as a sound source controlled (in a limited way) by VM CVs and external MIDI controls via VM and (2) CV-1 audio can then be shaped by other plugins hosted in VM. In short, if you like CV-1, it can be used in several ways within VM. Personally, I like many of the sounds AAS products make and many of the design features they have. I have a number of VM presets that use them (e.g., VM as sound source --> Objeq Delay). As per @Vernon Barnes comment, I'd love to find out there is a way using VM to tap into all the parameters the CV-1 plug-in exposes.
