@Mesh Thanks for the link. I had PC Part Picker bookmarked in the past but lost it somehow. There are similar sites but PC Part Picker seems directed more to the general consumer than gamer.

Google translation from Portuguese to English: Hello, I'm having a problem with the program's main page, the "basic project" will not appear among other things. " Please verify you have the project templates.

@Simon Mair I haven't purchased anything yet. What problem are you experiencing? I was interested because of the pricing. Especially since the BandLab Store web pages have a banner stating However, once I found the fine print that states That kind of takes away any price advantage Bandlab had. So I started checking out the website information a little closer. I couldn't find any information about device drivers or conversion specifications so I e-mailed my questions to Bandlab. The digital interfaces do not ship with a driver disk and drivers are not available for download from the Bandlab Store website. Instead Bandlab uses generic Microsoft USB drivers. Last, the digital interface recording specifications are 44.1 sample rate at 16 bit depth. I maybe wrong but I believe purpose built external hardware works best when paired with purpose built drivers. While the recording specifications match the commercial CD standard I prefer using 24 bit depth for recording as it provides more gain setting headroom.

I'm wanting a new music computer and I'm blaming Microsoft since it is ending support for Windows 7 early next year. However, I don't have the funds to purchase an off-the-shelf computer like I want. My alternative is to buy components one at a time and assemble it myself. It's been awhile since I assembled a system. Some things like a case and power supply seem to change little and keep a constant price. Other components like cpu, motherboard, ram and storage seem to have short shelf lives and large price fluctuations. Anyone have thoughts about what might be the right order to buy components so the first components I buy and the last will be compatible once they are assembled? My general thoughts are first acquire the mid size tower case and power supply, then one or two hard disk drives for storage, then 16 GB of DDR4 ram, then 1 TB SSD or M2 memory stick for use as a primary (C) drive, then a basic Nvidea dual monitor card, Windows 10 Pro and last a motherboard and Intel Gen 8 I7 cpu. What do you think? I'm saving the motherboard and cpu for last because they and their drivers seem to change most frequently. I'll likely be sourcing through Tiger Direct and New Egg. but will consider other sources.

@craigb MIDI 1 was introduced in 1983 and MIDI 2 in 2019. That's 36 years so you may want to jump on the bandwagon sooner then later. ?

@Creative Sauce Good video but I'm a little disappointed. Since Cakewalk by BandLab includes a large assortment of effects, I'd prefer if your Cakewalk videos only used effects included with the DAW. I believe it is better to learn to use the tools on-hand versus ignoring them. While I appreciate the time and effort you spend discovering new effects and exposing us to them, that is not the stated purpose of the video and is off subject.

Interesting and informative tutorial. Thanks for sharing and hope you'll continue to create more Cakewalk by BandLab content.

Hi Mike, I'm enjoying learning from your videos. Your demonstration song, "Wonderland", is a good listen. I'm glad you're finding the Cakewalk by BandLab community is receptive to your offerings.

Deleted.

@Brian I don't know the answer to your question. as I don't own a MODX and haven't used the software. Perhaps you will answer your own question once your MODX arrives and you've spent some time becoming familiar with it and the software. I'm sure other forum members will be interested in the answer.

@James Argo Great idea! Your idea for the Cakewalk by BandLab DAW to transmit a midi "Local ON" command to each midi device during DAW close is a nice touch housekeeping task. Considerate touches like this is what elevates one product over the the rest of the pack.

The TASCAM studio in a box featuring Sonar was still listed as an active product up until last week. I notice TASCAM moved it to their discontinued products sometime this week. https://tascam.com/us/product/track_factory_project/top

It's an interesting video to watch. There is a lot to learn about Melodyne 4 because it can be used in many different ways. One comment I found interesting in a Celemony video, but the comment may not necessarily be in this video, is it's not natural for musicians to play to a click track. That's true but by making the statement Celemony seems to imply that developing the skill to play to a click track is a bad thing.

Nice looking video series so far Mike. I'm enjoying them and learning. That's what it's all about. My brother first alerted me to your videos while he was attempting to convert me from Cakewalk by Bandlab to PreSonus Studio One. While I didn't convert, I'm glad to see you've expanded your DAW palette to include Cakewalk by Bandlab. Welcome to the Cakewalk by Bandlab forum! I hope you will be a frequent contributor to the forum.

Hi Brian, Never hurts to be prepared. I hope you enjoy the MODX once it arrives. If you have not done so yet, in addition to the USB driver you may want to download and install "MODX Connect". Per Yamaha's website MODX Connect allows the keyboard to be installed as a VST3 plug-in. More information here: https://usa.yamaha.com/products/music_production/synthesizers/modx/apps.html#product-tabs MODX Connect is available with the USB driver downloads https://usa.yamaha.com/products/music_production/synthesizers/modx/downloads.html#product-tabs

How about your forum avatar? It would be distinctive!

Hi Mike, I don't know. I'd hate to mislead you with a guess. May I suggest you start another message post and ask that question? My workflow is different. I use an outboard digital recorder to record my tracks or use Band-in-a-Box to create audio tracks and import my audio tracks into Cakewalk for editing, mixing and effects processing. Getting back to your initial question and my questions, where do you hear sound coming from? What sound is missing, guitar or Cakewalk by Bandlab audio tracks?

Wow, what a storage space! That's like a huge Cakewalk / Sonar attic space. I've gotta' spend some time exploring.

I'm impressed with the Monroe Music website. If the site is any indication of Adam Monroe I'm very impressed. The site does not collect your e-mail address or require registration prior to downloading the freebies. The site has virtual instruments as well as effects. Prices are exceptionally inexpensive.

Nice backing track. I really enjoy hearing your use of the Jam Orgin Midi Guitar 2 plugin. This is a great example demonstrating how well the plugin works. Side question, I'm trying to figure out what web site offers the weekly backing tracks. I believe it is TDPRI.com, is that correct? https://www.tdpri.com/

@Variorum, Thank You! Thank You! That's two heartfelt words of thanks. Thank you number 1 is for sharing your talent and expertise with us. Any thing that can make MIDI more user friendly is welcome. Thank you number 2 is for your cheerful and upbeat attitude in all your messages. I can't express how uplifting and refreshing it is to read your posts. You inspire me . This forum is very lucky to have you as a member.

The idea of a beginner's lens or screen set is a good idea in my opinion. One idea I think worth deeper investigation is lens based on experience level and screen sets by function. By that I mean different lens for beginner, apprentice, journeyman, craftsman, master and user lens with each lens adding more features. Each lens would have 10 customizable screen sets like present with the defaults based on daw centrist functions like (1) Audio Tracking (2) Midi 2 Audio (3) Loops (4) Editing (5) Mixing (6) Mastering (7) Distribution and user screen sets.

@Chris Boshuizen, Great catch. I'm glad you figured out a way to reproduce the glitch and video it. This is the kind of thing that can drive a person batty when you're in the mood to get something done and then something like this happens. May I make two suggestions? First click on the support request link in my signature line and submit a formal bug report to the developers. While the developers are pretty good about visiting the forum I'd hate for this glitch to slip by because they failed to see this message thread. Second include computer information like cpu, ram, operating system, audio interface or motherboard audio device and graphics.

That link didn't work for me. The link circles back to this message thread. If it helps, I've made the same kind of mistake many, many times! @Chuck E Baby Here is a YouTube video that details how to use "Fit Improvisation". Perhaps this is what you meant to link to? https://youtu.be/MnAqjtXglOQ
