Chaps

I listened to it again and it does sound much clearer to my ears. Very good job.

In other movies it's the computer telling us what to do, and we do that or it destroys us with lasers.

I recall I stumbled upon it while looking for something else regarding the taskbar. I checked my settings and it's at Settings>Personalization>Taskbar>Taskbar Behaviors>Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop. I guess I could just press Windows Key+D but I can move my mouse cursor anywhere on my three monitors without moving my (left) hand so it's easier than using a Windows shortcut. I'm all about whatever is easiest.

There's a thingy in my taskbar (far right edge) that shows the desktop when I click it. Very handy. I added it so long ago (it's part of Windows) that I forget what it's called.

Sounds complicated. I have my DELETEPICS.BAT file in several Cakewalk locations as well as the desktop. That seems simpler and more my speed. Two mouse-clicks and the picture cache is emptied. That, and I used the Windows Task Scheduler to have it run as a weekly task. All bases covered.

You made a keyboard shortcut in Sonar to execute the .BAT file? I didn't think you could do that.

That's a very good question so I checked it out. If the text in the .BAT file has NO quotation marks no files are deleted when I double click the .BAT file If the text has ONE quotation mark all files are deleted. If the text has TWO quotation marks (Quote-End Quote) all files are deleted. Why this is so I am not qualified to answer. All I did was make the file according to instructions I found online years ago. Because it worked as desired I never gave it another thought. None of those deletes folders, only files.

It's been so long since I've seen a SATA 2 cable that I had forgotten the difference.

Look for the buttons I have labeled in the edited image (of your screenshot) below in views that can be docked/undocked. They are in different areas depending on the view's type and state. Left click them to see the options.

I just want to add that if the Track Inspector is undocked the 'i' keyboard shortcut will bring it into view even if the Console View is full screen. The Track Inspector will stay in whatever place you put it so it is possible to have it mimic a strip in the Console View when it is visible.

Those look like standard SATA data and power connectors. They are compatible with the HDD you posted a link to.

Which sounds are you previewing? I've tried some samples in the audio library and samples in the BandLab Sounds using the Sonar browser and so far the up arrow works just as well as the down arrow. If it were me I would try to rule out any mechanical problem, like a stuck key, or a low battery in a wireless keyboard, that was affecting the behavior of the cursor arrows. Is the down key working as expected in other areas, like your Internet browser, like on this page? I know that isn't very helpful but it's all I can think of.

Just to clarify, which shortcut key are you using? Are your other shortcut keys working? Is it possible your track inspector is collapsed and the shortcut key doesn't expand it? Is the drag bar there to expand it manually? Is it possible that it is undocked and not visible? These are the first things I would check if it happened to me.

Sounds very good. If I had to come up with any kind of criticism it would be that the acoustic guitar sounds a little bass-y. Sounds better than anything I've been working on lately, that's for sure.

You posted that you don't even use take lanes so the simplest solution seems to be to stop expanding the take lanes. Then the button will never change color. Expanding take lanes without using at least two take lanes serves no practical purpose. You aren't turning on the take lanes, you are expanding them and, ironically, causing the problem that is vexing you. There is nothing you can do about the lanes you have already expanded and have changed color but in the future you can avoid this problem by not clicking the take lane button unless you have a need for multiple take lanes.

On page 441 of the Cakewalk Sonar Reference file it says: And: Basically, the first take lane you create is the same data as the original track. If you don't need more than one take lane I don't see a reason to open the take lanes at all because the first take lane just duplicates the original data. It seems to me that once a take lane is created it is permanent and the take lane button will always have that highlighted box. At least I can't find a way to restore it to its original condition. If someone knows how I'd love to see how it's done.

Are you using a VPN? If yes, turn it off. If no, then reboot your computer and try again. Can't hurt to try.

I haven't browsed it for quite some time but there's heaps of free old music software at the Internet archive. https://archive.org/details/software

Those audio examples were pretty impressive. Can't wait to try this one out.

Sure, but maybe watch the movie first. Not everyone liked it as much as I did.

It turned out better than I expected, for sure.

Good job. If they ever make a sequel to Ghosts of Mars this should be the main theme.

I'm using a variation of that method in a current project. I recorded a chord of just guitar harmonics on one track, reversed it, attenuated the tail with volume automation (the attack) and used a send in pre mode to a long reverb (Valhalla Supermassive TriangulamHall) so the reverb increases at the very end of the chord. The reverb tail blends in with the rest of the tracks when they start. Here is what the chord sounds like. Dancing with Debbie 1.mp3

You can select the Audio Preview Bus in the top menu Project>Set Audio Preview Bus. Check your Bus Pane to see if the Preview Bus is showing and if it is receiving audio.

UA Connect? You can disable its startup in the Task Manager. You can also stop the Universal Audio Helper Service from starting with Windows.
