  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 .
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. Does pressing h on the keyboard open the new track manager?
  11. Try adjusting the search setting to see if that helps.
  12. The story behind the film may be more interesting than the film itself. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/restoring-the-audio-of-orson-welles-final-film-with-rx?page=36 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Side_of_the_Wind#
  13. You can download the Cakewalk Reference File from right at the top of this forum, though Cakewalk Sonar is net yet able to access it from within the program, as far as I know.
  14. You're very welcome. I made a short video and published it to YouTube to hopefully clear up any misunderstandings my clumsy explanation may have caused. Linking Kick and Snare drums to Flexi instruments in Addictive Drums 2
  15. Another feature of AD2 I like is the ability to link the kick and snare with the Flexi instruments, so you can have up to four kicks or snares sounding in one kit (or other combinations), and assign an audio track for each one. the kick and snare can both trigger the Flexi instruments in different ways. Even with just one instance of AD2 you have a lot of flexibility.
  16. Cakewalk Next is a different program and is not a replacement for Cakewalk by Bandlab. Cakewalk Sonar is the replacement for Cakewalk by Bandlab.
  17. Check your Folder Locations in Sonar and that will show where the drum maps it accesses are. I have drum maps in three locations because SONAR X3 Producer, Cakewalk by BandLab, and Cakewalk Sonar all seem to have installed drum maps in different locations. Or I did it and forgot. One of those two. If you need it, here is a folder with different AD2 drums maps, project and track templates. AD2 Files
  18. I did a quick experiment and if create a send to a bus and the send is POST I won't hear the track, or the audio sent to the bus, if I mute it. If the send is PRE and I mute the original track I won't hear the track with the send but I WILL hear the audio on the bus that the send is output to. So if you mute a track with a send and still hear it after you mute it, change the send to POST. You can always change it back if you want.
  19. Do you have any sends on the muted tracks you can hear?
  20. Cakewalk Next isn't Cakewalk Sonar. Sonar is the Cakewalk by BandLab replacement.
  21. Not sure what is going on there. Here is what I would do. Reboot and then use the Cakewalk Product Center to make sure everything is up to date. That's all I got.
  22. I have the free Sonar tier and I have plenty of samples to browse. Did you use Cakewalk by Bandlab? Is your Sonar online?
  23. The way I've been doing it for years is to duplicate the MIDI track a couple more times than I need. So if all I have are kick and snare drum notes then I would duplicate the track 3 times. Then I rename the tracks to the instrument I want on it, then on each track I delete all the notes that I don't want there. On the kick track I delete all the snare notes and on the snare track I delete all the kick notes. I delete all the notes on the tracks I don't need at the time so I can add different drum instruments on them later and the tracks are already output to the synth I want. I label the unused tracks Perc 1, Perc 2, etc. and then label them for any new instrument I put on there. Is there a better and faster way to do it? Probably, but this way works for me.
  24. Log in to your Bandlab account, even if you have to use Google. Then go to your account settings and LINKED ACCOUNTS. Disconnect from any linked accounts, like Google or Facebook. Save settings if prompted. That's how I did it months ago and I just log right into Bandlab with no other prompting.
  25. My bad, it was Sandor Kundrath who asked about a tuner in the free version of Sonar. The most likely reason I have the Cakewalk tuner and you don't is because I probably got it with a previous version of Cakewalk that I own and have installed, Cakewalk SONAR X3 Producer.
