Chaps

They could always use a computer as the drummer. 'Would you like to play a song? I wrote one called 'Global Thermonuclear War''.

An important thing to consider is how expandable is the system? How many M.2 NVMe SSD can you put in the motherboard? One is good, more is better. How many watts is the power supply? Will it handle all the components you might end up putting in the case? How many hard drives will the case hold and what kind? How many fans can the case hold? The more powerful the CPU the more heat it will generate, generally. How many USB ports will the motherboard support, and what kind? How many PCI slots does the motherboard have? Does the case have multiple USB ports on the front and what kind? Things that don't seem important right away might be a problem down the road as you learn the limits of your system. One thing I've noticed when doing my own shopping for computers is that many companies that sell computers is that there is often an area that they skimp on that they don't mention, and often that is the motherboard. Of course, anything you buy you can always upgrade in the future. Not happy with the motherboard or the case's air flow. Replace them with superior components when you have the extra cash.

In the e-mail I received after completing the purchase I clicked the link that says View Order and the registration number was in there.

Have you run the Cakewalk Product Center to make sure it is also up to date?

It looks like what you are clicking is the Show/Hide Controller Pane thingy. When you HIDE the controller pane the velocity bars will show up in the same pane that the notes do. If you SHOW the controller pane they will be separate, like in the image below.

I'm having trouble visualizing this. Are you using a simple instrument track? Where are you clicking 'velocity?' Do the lines look like the image below?

I routinely use both mono inputs while recording my guitar. Audio from my guitar preamp and direct audio for guitar sim processing. So the problem may be with your interface's software, or outputs, and not the Cakewalk software. It's worth exploring. Also, if you are using Cakewalk for Bandlab its ability to save projects will soon be gone as it is being replaced by Cakewalk Sonar, which has a free tier.

Sweetwater also has a similar page for Windows 11. https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/windows-11-pc-optimization-for-recording/#Windows-11-system-maintenance

It's a great sound when it all comes together. If I could get my drum sounds to fit in the pocket like Joe Morello's in 'Take 5' I would be very happy.

As I sit here tuning my AD2 drums to a song I'm working on I wonder how nice it would be to have drum presets that would tune my drums to a specific chord (or key, or scale/mode) at the touch of a button as a place to start from. Years (decades) ago I was in a band with a drummer who wanted me to tune his drums to an A7 chord. After I did that his drums sounded amazing. Going after that sound is where my head is at right now. That's a feature that would definitely motivate me to bring out my debit card. It's already pretty simple to tune drums in Session Drummer. Might be a nice feature for Session Drummer 4.

Have you downloaded and installed any Steinberg software? The Steinberg ASIO driver they install can cause ASIO problems. I would check your registry and see what is in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO .

Personally, I am hoping that Sonar will eventually be offered with the old purchasing model where we can buy the program as is and pay for later major versions/upgrades. We get a program we own and the company has motivation to produce major upgrades.

The License Key will show up in your e-instruments account dashboard. I had the same problem, waiting for the e-mail that never came. Copy that number and paste into Native Access - Add Serial.

You can download the Cakewalk Command Center at the Legacy Cakewalk site. Are you sure you want it and not the Cakewalk Product Center, which is used to download newer Cakewalk software? Anyway, here are links to both of them. https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Command-Center https://downloads.bandlab.com/cakewalk/CPC/Win/Cakewalk_Product_Center_Setup_1.0.0.095.exe

If the new Track Manager is overwriting the old Track Manager your only option may be to set up presets in the Track Manager to simplify its operation.
