In the UK nanites are little grandmothers, I don't think it will be them.

OOOOOPS!  [ Insert  :embarrassed:  emoji here ]

I was thinking of a Star Trek episode specifically (these things, in general):

Quote

Nanites are microscopic robots, often envisioned as the core technology in nanotechnology and nanomedicine. In science fiction, they frequently appear as programmable entities capable of intricate tasks like repairs, drug delivery, or even restructuring matter. In the real world, while still largely theoretical, nanorobots are subjects of research and development with potential applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and other fields. 

I suppose in a way they are indeed little grandmothers--small beings that make things right!

I don't generally use the quick start screen, but I checked some of the recent files I have opened and they do include a few *.mid files.  Out of curiosity, does the current quick start screen also include *.wrk files? 

ADDENDUM: I answered my own question re: *.wrk files: yes. (FWIW: date/time/length error reported via in-app form.)

FWIW: When ceez started the "Until there's a separate discussion for Product Center" thread, I suspect ceez might have been implying that there should be a separate website page under Cakewalk Products for "Cakewalk Product Center." 

I have no opinion on that; it's for others to decide.

Which version ? IIRC it was updated since to stop this issue

You are correct. Notice the date of my post: 5 days ago!!!  Also keep in mind that I replied directly to a post  that read "it updates to 10.0.094 and again singing in Bandlab is impossible." 

Thanks for asking.

PS: I know you know this, but for the benefit of others who might not have seen it:

MixBox, Syntronik and SampleTron

They still sell them. Some are complete and do not any tinkering.

(1) I checked the other day by searching the IK Store for Syntronik.  I just checked again.  The site says 0 [zero] for Syntronik Products.  (2) The other day I also checked the IK Forum and Syntronik came up as being discontinued--but if you already own it, you can still use it. (3) I just checked on line (several places). Audio Plugin Deals has an article "Still Using Syntronik 2 in 2025 (Discontinued)? These Are the Synths Worth Loading Up and As Well As Alternative Synths"

It might be true (I don't know) that some third-party vendors have them for sale, but so far as I have seen. IK does not have them listed for sale.

Jeez, 9, I thought I  was the one who overthinks things.😄❤

My thought process went something like this:

"Hmm, 9 says that 'Mississippi Queen' rules because you can see the guy smacking out a straight 1/4 note ride on it in the intro. Well 'Perfect Kiss' has the lead singer take a cowbell solo with the camera zoomed into his face and the instrument in question. How can I respond in the silliest way possible?"

I was being "snooty" about the relative difficulty of the cowbell part and Jonathan Demme's choice of shots. As in "oh is there now, well take a look at the ahhhtistry on display in this  video."

I didn't overthink anything.  I just explained it in detail for your benefit. Your post made no sense whatsoever. That's hardly overthinking. 

For the record, in my mind's ear, I definitely heard "oh is there now" but with a ? at the end. Clearly you think very highly of the ahhhhtistry of a band I never heard of--about which someone in the forum commented,

I'd seriously forgotten how dull New Order were.

Thanks for clarifying that you were intentionally being silly and snooty. 

Thanks. I was interested, in part to pick up the one syntronik model I don't have, but it looks like IK has discontinued the syntronik line (plus it's no longer included in the Total Studio Bundle). 

Looks like it includes a large number of Premium Tonex Models and Nine Pianoverse Models, though.

VERSION COMPARISON

I lost track of IK's product variations.  Is this (TS Max 5) a bundle that just came out recently, or is it one that's been out for a few months or years?

@User 905133, the part I'm referring to regarding cowbell starts at 6:30, after Steven's frog solo. Bernard takes a lead on it, a nice, complex rhythm striking two different parts of the bell, giving it an agogo flavor.

Thank you for pointing this out (See below--very bottom--which starts at 6:26, just before the video shows the drum stick.)

However, that is not what I was confused about when I gave your post the emoji. To understand better, please follow the posts in order:

So, my comment was about Mississippi Queen and Honky Tonk Women.   

After the post with War's Low Rider, you quoted me and the posted  New Order's The Perfect Kiss.

 there's a cowbell in the video

Oh is there now....

Given the context, it seemed to me your "Oh is there now..." was questioning my comment "there's a cowbell in the video," a reference to Mississippi Queen. Possibly you thought I was confused because there was no cowbell in the intro to the New Order video.

If you notice my reply to your "Oh is there now..." rejoinder,  I posted a picture from Mississippi Queen showing the cowbell being hit after saying "I vote for Mississippi Queen because there's a cowbell in the video. "

So, I still have no idea why you questioned me.  To my way of thinking (i.e., chronologically, in this case), you could not have been referring to the New Order video which you had not posted yet. Ergo, I am still confused as to your rejoinder.  As has been my custom, I would be happy to remove the confused emoji if you clue me in to as to what "Oh is there now..." refers if not my observation that the Mississippi Queen video shows a cowbell being played.

New Order's Perfect Kiss --should be cued up to just before the cowbell section.  

It has a nice retro space music vibe.  Thanks for sharing.

As a DAW user, I don't think I can understand what a bitmap is and what a vector is. The colors nowadays are too unfriendly, with white being too bright and black being too dark. Poor thing about my aging eyes

This is one of the few things I like about AI. Ask Google, "what is the difference between bitmap graphics and vector graphics." and even if it's not 100% accurate down to the very detailed level, you can get a relatively quick answer that often has a reasonable "close enough" answer for people without expert knowledge looking for the gist of an answer.

Here's the first paragraph I got:

Quote

Bitmap graphics, also known as raster graphics, are composed of a grid of pixels, each with a specific color, while vector graphics use mathematical equations to define lines, curves, and shapes. This fundamental difference leads to key distinctions in scalability, file size, and suitability for different types of images.  [from Google AI]

Am I noticing changes in CW Sonar since this latest update . . . . 

Yes, much nicer to have shorter wait times for the Free Tier. I am getting initial countdowns from around 8 or 9 and then just the button (no countdown) later on.

Clicking on Workspaces seems to have its own independent countdown timer (from around 8 or 9) just like the initial splash page. During the same session a second click just had the button (Use Free Tier, no wait timer).

People who don't like long waits should appreciate this!  Thanks!!!

Well, I suppose I could be wrong, but to me it looks like there's a cowbell being played live as opposed to the video of Honky Tonk Women where I could see no hand-to-instrument reasonably synchronized gesture + contact with a what could remotely be called a cowbell. 

Thanks, Noel.  Worked for me, too, on my main music PC.

Please, let's stop feeding the troll.  Let's leave it up to the moderator(s) in conjunction with the website owner/management.

Just curious, what is an example of what parts of the User Interface that you think needs to be be a special color?

I can't answer for anyone else, but as for as my visual needs, it would very helpful to see color control for track names (text and background) returned, as well as for the kinds of plug-ins in Browser lists, to name just a couple. (See examples below.)

Just curious, why are you asking?
