What did they say? If Ugritone tested their products with CbB, they should know if they implemented some specific methods that don't work with CbB. (I can't imagine they didn't test CbB.) Just a guess: Since you mention midi files, maybe all of their files use some specific midi commands that cause an issue.

LOL. Your first post convinced me not to do an impulse buy. But you went ahead and bought/installed it!!!!!! Other than the preset names, have you developed enough of a hands-on, informed opinion to do a brief advantage-disadvantages review (a good for X, not good for Y review)? Thanks. UPDATE: Currently trying the 30-day demo for myself; so, no need for a review. Testing in Voltage Modular (my go-to app for getting baseline assessments via VM's plug-in host). Personal positives: 200+ automatable (easily controllable by CV) parameters Very reasonable CPU load (doesn't tax my 2012 era audio PC) Flexibility per @John Nelson: one of the most versatile and straightforward delay apps. Comprehensive preset menu, too. So, thanks for inspiring me to give it a try.

Did you do a binary comparison of the *.cwp and *.assets files using the MS-DOS File Compare tool? FC *.cwp *.assets /B

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!
