If interested in this issue, the YouTuber known as "Top Music Attorney" has a reaction video to the "WTF Udio" video. It's a typical reaction video (setup, plays video segments, comments on video, adds opinion(s), etc.). Jesse Josefsson also has a conversation video with her. Top Music Attorney also has a conversation video. "YouTubers of the World, UNITE!"

Interesting. I had not heard of him, but he definitely made an impact on the history of music from our era.

I saw that news segment!!! Found the dynamics between them interesting (as well as what they were saying).

Yeah; it can be frustrating. I think I wrote up the procedure I used a few weeks ago. I will see if I can find that post. IIRC, I logged out of Bandlab via the CbB Help Menu, and then logged back in by going to the Bandlab site (again from the link in CbB's Help Menu). PS: I am not on Cakewalk's staff, so I have no authority to acknowledge anything about alleged user-hostility with the activation process/messaging. I am just a user and try to share my experiences in case they help other users. UPDATE:

Personally, I have long thought evolving textures and arps/sequences/beatz went well together when properly layered with progressive development as you've demonstrated here. Nice one here!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Here's a "piano roll" that's more of an accordian [word plays intended]. ?

Interesting (Atari ST Pro 24 Software). This issue of "Amazing Computing" has an article on "Master Tracks Pro v. Bars and Pipes" (starts on page 30).

Where did the "standard" timeline/piano roll DAW UI paradigms come from? I am pretty sure software got the idea of the piano roll from player pianos. As for putting all the different elements together, it might be nice to have a reference book on all the different elements and when they were first used in different DAWs.

I have had a low opinion of AARP for a few years; never heard of AMAC before, but I just looked it up. From what I have seen, they are not worthy of a high opinion either.

To see if its been excluded from your Workspace, use the Workspace Manager and look at Show in GUI > MIDI > Sysx. Is it checked or unchecked. Also, does Sysx show up under Menu Bar > Views? If not, try "None" or Advanced. Does that enable the Sysx function? FWIW, a few years ago when teaching myself how Workspaces (formerly Lenses) work, I created a Workspace I named "No Views." I consider Cakewalk's Workspace customizations one of its most innovative workflow features.

Are you intentionally using a specific Workspace? If its a custom workspace, did you exclude Sysx? Did you accidentally switch to a Workspace (such as Basic) that excludes sysx?

I think they should tally up the amount of money each user paid for Cakewalk/SONAR products over the decades (including all upgrades, add-ons, etc.) since Cakewalk for MS-DOS came out and then give a prorated discount/benefits package to long-term users over the age of 70 to cover the Senior pricing plans described above for as long as the historical users live or the individualized prorated amount based on prior spending runs out, whichever comes first, after which the Senior pricing plans as described above kick in. For Seniors who never paid anything for Cakewalk/SONAR, maybe a deal could be worked out with SilverSneakers.

Cool. Thanks for mentioning this. I will have to take a look. My first new synth purchase from the MIDI era of the mid-1980s was Sequential Circuit's Multi-Trak. I have audio files of a handful of test tunes I did with it. It was fun. I traded it in for a Casio CZ-5000, though I wish I could have kept the Multi-Trak and gotten the CZ, too. Back in the days when synths were so much simpler and easier to use than they are today!!!! ?

FWIW I searched my PC for TTS-1.dll files. I have some from various dates ranging from 2009 to 2013. The one that's in my C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi\TTS-1 folder is from 11/9/2010 3:33 PM and shows up in Windows as 5,973 KB. I have no idea if that's the version that CbB installed or if it's just the one the CbB migration selected from what my PC already had (or from a retro-installation of an earlier version of SONAR). Since it works for me, I am not planning on swapping it out for one of the others I have. I trust science only to a point and I don't want to risk trying one of the other TTS-1.dll files just for the sake of scientific curiosity. ? Hope this helps.

People here in the forum seem to enjoy causing confusion. It looks like so much fun, so let me add SteelSeries Sonar Audio Suite into the discussion. ?

Wait a sec. Didn't you ask this (or something like it) already? I just read a post that sounded very similar. UPDATE: Found it!

Thanks for the details. It makes sense. As for me. although I started using Cakewalk for MS-DOS and upgraded a number of times along the way, I was not active in any of the Cakewalk/Sonar forums. So when Cakewalk folded and offers were made by AAS and others, I was not in any pipeline to hear about the offers. I never switched away from Cakewalk. I was using gear including a pair of hardware sequencers, and the AAS Sonar Editions worked in X1 and X3 and later CbB. After getting into Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular I found that the AAS Sonar Editions didn't work with the Plug-in Host. As luck would have it, AAS had a Humble Bundle. Tier 3 included licensed versions of the AAS Session plug-ins along with 5 Sound Packs plus Objeq Delay. So even though I missed out on the offer of free licenses for the non-SONAR Edition plug-ins, it worked out for me and I became a fan of AAS.

As for Dim Pro, I opened an older Cakewalk project and Dim Pro came up as missing. So I added a new instance and it worked--even though the original file still had the missing one in the Synth Rack--in parentheses. But at least one instance of it works. Good to know; thanks for bringing this issue up. Just tested Dim Pro in Voltage Modular (Host Module). With a *.voltagepreset from 1/2021 and one from 11/2021 all 4 instances of Dim Pro works. I was also able to insert an instance into VM's Host Plug-in once I found the location of the right *.dll. Dimension Pro x64.dll from 8/30/2010 seems to work for me. Not sure if this is relevant, but I remember with one of the bundled programs having the LE version and the full version installed or registered or something caused an issue. Not sure if it was Dim Pro and Dim LE, but I do not have the LE version in my CbB Browser. Not 100% I am remembering the conflict correctly, but it might be worth looking onto. I am using Dim Pro 1.5.

Is this with the SONAR Editions? Did they just give you registration numbers so you can use them with non-SONAR products? Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not being clear (my error). In referring to the SONAR Editions. I was asking about the AAS Session SONAR Edition instruments. Did you have the SONAR editions? I seem to recall that those only worked with SONAR. They might have also worked in CbB; I don't remember. Several years ago, I did buy the AAS Sessions so I could use them in Voltage Modular. I forget how much I paid for them; it might have been on sale somewhere or in a Humble or Fanatical Bundle. (Ultimately I got the full versions.) It doesn't hurt to (1) look around or (2) to ask AAS about an upgrade price for The Sessions from the SONAR Versions. I have the SONAR Editions on my current PC. They load in VM, but make no sound. In the list of options (top/center), there's a button to press to get the "Become an AAS Registered User" and a button to get the full version. Not sure if trying to become a registered user will give you prices to upgrade to the Non-SONAR Edition. My question to you was intended to be part of my reply to John in connection with the AAS Session SONAR Edition instruments, but I hit quote instead of edit and was too tired to fix it. I'd like to think I won't make the same mistake again, but I probably will.

Not Unix! ?
