  1. OS [aka software--Operating Software--needed to run the program] as opposed to (1) the Sound Content or (2) the product which consists of (a) sound content and (b) proprietary operating software needed to do stuff with the sound content. Sorry for any confusion caused by the abbreviation. I made the mistake of assuming that anyone who uses the products would know I was referring to just the product's operating software and not the whole product which includes software content. My bad. Not sure I should abbreviate it US for Underlying Software, which I believe some have also called it.
  2. Not sure if this will help some recently reported issues.
  3. Note: I have not yet updated and tried inserting any TONEX Stomps (from CS) into AmpliTube 5.
  4. I just took a quick look at all of the pages of the Audio Sampling book. It shows up in a reader [book2look.com] that displays 1 scan (2 pages) at a time. If someone wants to learn/read about sampling, I think it would be useful to read online from cover-to-cover, or in sections/chapters as needed. There is a table of contents and an index. If you find most you need a page or two because you already understand most of the content, you might be able to print the image to pdf or grab a screen image. I do not recommend trying to do this with the entire book. The original book is copyrighted 2008. So far as I can see, all of the elements are covered as of that date. If someone who knows almost nothing about real sampling and wants to understand it so they can make use of sampling tools that have come out since 2007, I'd recommend reading the book and reviewing newer product manuals, tutorials, etc. If the book interests you, I suggest contacting T&F/Routledge to see if and when the book will be updated.
  5. I have tried to understand this: and have come up with: This is just a guess.
  6. I have thought of using a directory junction, but I am not clear on how they work. Some questions to try to clarify: If I make a directory junction like this ^^^^, will Cakewalk see/use only D:\Cakewalk Content or will it see/use both as if everything in both Cakewalk Content folders are in a single folder? Also, are there potential problems if there are files or subfolders with duplicate names? Thanks.
  7. I never used this feature, but I looked it up in the index to the Cakewalk by Bandlab online Documentation because I was interested in learning about this. Here's the link I found. If this page doesn't help, maybe someone else can explain it.
  8. There is one reason I can think of: Microsoft sometimes doesn't respect user choices. Very often Windows will change my energy settings--not for every single update, but often enough that I have to change them back to what I had before. So, I agree that computer users need to understand their systems and to know all the ins and outs of setting them up to do music, but at the same time, if the CbB team could figure out a way to respect our power setting needs despite Microsoft's changes, I am for it!
  9. I don't use the PRV (Piano Roll View), but the Cakewalk Reference Guide says its part of the PRV. Its there. I see that you can turn it on in the PRV by clicking the downward arrow on the View Tab. Evidently that just resizes the content with the PRV. To manually change the size, I used the Vertical Zoom slider on the lower right edge of the PRV. Until someone with more experience using the PRV chimes in, I hope this ^^^^ helps.

    oooops

    It is a way of saying "I/We made a mistake, did something unintended, etc." It is a more polite form of saying, "I/We F****ed up." For example, in the case of an unintended pregnancy, "Oooops" might mean, "We didn't intend to get married so soon."
  11. No thanks. JMO: I think Groove3 does a very good job at making educational videos, has reasonable rates, and deserves to pay their content creators.
  12. Wait a sec. Are you saying the cisa report had absolutely nothing to do with this company, their website, or their product?

    oooops

    No need for cell phone; can count on fingers.** ? **toes not needed for any spill over.
  14. What is that pdf for? The Company? The Website? The Installer? Interesting that cisa.gov reports all sorts of versions/affiliations to Dark Side, but the website and the installer don't have any issues per VirusTotal. Is Virus Total less rigorous than cisa.gov? Is Virus Total fake? Question answered: "Microsoft's conclusion: virustotal.com is fake and randomly generates false lists of malware. Mar 29, 2017" Thanks for the cisa report. Techivation T-Compressor now removed.
  15. Odd that we get the reserved results. I got the 504 error 3 times with your link. Possibly the Gateway timeout error is related to a server/internet issue and independent of which link is used. UPDATE: Cloudflare is reporting the error to me. Each time it reports a host error at www.routledge.com.
  16. Got 504 error. Tried: https://www.routledge.com/go/audio-engineering-free-books-bundle-2022 Worked for me.
  17. If they [Mixcraft] take their "spaghetti code" and marry it with VM's virtual cabling UI, to me that might be very worthwhile. Using VM interconnectivity with CbB is amazing (MIDI and Audio), but if a DAW (like Mixcraft) had fully integrated patchability (i.e,, being able to connect everything via cables) it might be more intuitive for others, too. With an overt system of virtual cables, maybe music software users would "get" all the connections that are not readily apparent because those connections can be seen.
  18. BTW, according to this page, "KONTAKT 7 requires graphics hardware support for Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_0) or higher. If your graphic adapter does not support this requirement, KONTAKT will open with a black window and will not function." While DXDiag shows that both my displays support Direct3D DDI 11.1, my highest feature level is 10_1, not 11_0. You might be able to save some time by running DXDiag first (that is, before trying to just download and install this "freebie"). It would have been nice if NI had checked first instead of failing to download/install Hypha several times and giving me the "not enough disk space" error for several of those failures. I get it that they are giving away Hypha as a marketing gimmick to sell Kontakt 7, but maybe they could have had less drain on their servers if so many of us hadn't wasted so much time trying to download and install it. Clearly, I should never have gotten the "not enough disk space" error message.
  19. I remember back in the days of SONAR giving up on NI with all of the installing/updating/debugging required. Having spent hours trying to download and install this so-called "freebie", and then once it downloaded and installed at last trying to get it to work, I agree: for me this was a huge waste of time. Thank goodness I had coffee handy!!!
  20. Thanks. Evidently its popular: NI Access is now connecting for me, but I am getting . When I first saw it I wondered what the weeds overtaking the synth imagery was all about. I don't want my music making tools being made obscure by weeds. Perhaps its a sign that their HYPHA promotion is spreading exponentially and over powering their servers? hy pha - noun: each of the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus UPDATE: It took a while for NI Access to connect, authorize licenses, and then download and start to install Hypha--enough time to grind coffee beans, boil water, make the coffee, and do several other household activities (more than usual, but not 24 hours, yet). After maybe 35 minutes, NI Access switched from "Installing" to the "Oops . . . " message. NI Access now says Hypha is installed, but the Kontakt 7 Player (Standalone 7.0.11 ) shows a solid black window. Earlier it showed products I had. More Info: 15 minutes later: Logging out of NI Access and trying to log back in doesn't help. Reconnecting takes more time than usual (logging in, loading products). After about 6-8 minutes (more than enough time to read the manual), NI Access shows products with Hypha (and Kontakt Player 7 installed). After 20 more minutes Kontakt Player 7 (standalone 7.0.11) still come up with a solid black window. File > Options > Libraries says the Hypha library folder is present. Thanks for this detail. I have NA v 3.0.1. Will try reinstalling NA 1.11.0 (2019) on previous audio PC. Trying NA 2.5.0 first: Hypha Download failed. NA started Kontakt 7 Player downloaded/installing; Hypha queued. Task Manager said both Windows Installer and NA were active. Kontakt 7 Player allegedly installed; Hypha still queued. Kontakt 6 Player still works; Hypha library not present. Hypha switched from Queued to Install. Tried reinstalling Hypha. Triggers web browser + NA Error Message > Not enough free drive space Webpage shows example with 552 GB required and 379 GB required Hypha installation failed again; no details as to why except the web page. Will look for a message that says how many Mega GB are needed for Hypha. In NA it says 1.87 GB which I have. Tried again; NA downloaded (with time remaining countdown); NA allegedly installed successfully. Not seen in Kontakt 6 player (Standalone 6.7.1) Kontakt 7 Player (Standalone 7.0.11) opens and remains with a black window. Ran *.msi and *.exe for Hypha installation; looked at log. Evidently it is installed now. *.exe give the option to Uninstall Conclusion: My PC cannot use use Hypha. Opinion: I have enough that does work properly without getting a new graphics card just to run NI's so-called "free" instrument.
  21. UPDATE: Thanks @ralfrobert . That linked worked! "Your All-Access Pass will end on January 6, 2023." ? Your All-Access Pass will end on January 6, 2023.
  22. Thanks; good advice. I actually saw a music book bundle probably less than year ago. It was one that had far more sociology and other academic-oriented books than this one. Not sure if that's the one you got. Given my academic background, that bundle might have been better for me than this one. I did actually check the sample pdfs in this one and the other one. In both collections I looked at, the quality of the content varied. Addendum: The Foley Grail, Website. Info about the book; not the text from the book; includes supplementary materials (several clips from videos not included in the bundled book version). From the pdf in the bundle: "Accompanying the book are online resources featuring video demonstrations of Foley artists at work, video tutorials of specific Foley techniques, lectures from the author, and more." You can see some of those at the Website. No need to answer questions about what words are on any of the pages from the book! ?
  23. Is this typical for these book bundles? $1.00 get 4 books (25 cents each) $10.00 gets 10 books ($1.00 each) $25.00 gets 18 books ($1.39 each) My bad (in part). Now it says $18, not $25 for the whole bundle. It seems to default to $25.00.
