I had piano lessons from 5 to 7 years old. Was taught both to play and theory/notation. Then i studied classical guitar for a couple of years before changing to electric (circa 1969 - thank you Creedence). I can still (60 years on) read music, play by ear etc. Read music and notation. I thank my music teachers for all that. My son played pretty good guitar, but i could never get him to understand that notation or reading music would be beneficial for him. I’m also for basic music theory/notation in schools (here in France or anywhere, for that matter). J

Mostly Demos, so not a big deal after all J

No sound suddenly on Home Studio 2002
Jeremy Oakes replied to Steambyrd's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
You’re using imported midi file - check in the Event Viewer (if Home Studio 2002 - no comment - even has one) to make sure no wheel events occur before the notes. If there are, erase them. If it doesn’t, you’ll have to find another way to erase them. This has got me a few times in the past - midi bass files inEZ Bass. J -
Need Help Trouble-Shooting Computer Audio Problem
Jeremy Oakes replied to JamPro's topic in Computer Systems
Mr JamPro, please note we’re not talking about Mackie drivers here. I’m sure they are rock solid. Its the MS legacy one. I humbly recommend you try installing this legacy file and see if it makes any difference for you. FYI, W7 handled FW in a much better way than the current W10 installed one does……….. I have had success with this file/driver. https://www.startech.com/en-fr/faq/firewire-cards-windows-legacy-driver-swap Its merely a suggestion. You don’t have to at all. J -
Need Help Trouble-Shooting Computer Audio Problem
Jeremy Oakes replied to JamPro's topic in Computer Systems
Use the MS legacy firewire driver. AFAIA it doesn’t get installed automatically on a new set up. you’ll have to Google for it, but using that one worked for me when i used to use my Focusrite LS 56 on W10. J -
Why on a Cakewalk forum would you ask that ? J
-
FYI there is a Magix Asio generic driver that gets installed with some of their music products. Fruity Loops does the same thing. A quick trip in the registry to nuke them takes care of potential issues. J

Question-Audio system Windows 11 users
Jeremy Oakes replied to John Vere's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
After major updates and especially an upgrade from w10 to w11, i always re-install my audio device drivers. Couple of clicks, couple of minutes of time……. And peace of mind. Focusrite (desktop) and Soundcraft (laptop) drivers are rock solid. Jerry -
Finally have to say goodbye.

IMHO constructively written posts get constructively written answers. This was not the case. YMMV also. J -
Output issue with cakewalk regardless of driver
Jeremy Oakes replied to Michael Finnity's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
W11 working fine on my laptop (Soundcraft audio device) and on my desk top (Focusrite audio device). I did however re-install both sets of drivers after the upgrade from W10. I do this also after a major update. Couple of clicks, 2 minutes max and its done. You don’t give many details about your set up - have you tried re-installing your audio devices latest drivers ? J -
Is Erik Norlander a better keyboard player than Jordan Rudess?

I have never heard of them so i don’t know. Am i missing something ? Jerry -
Dead desktop - best way to recover
Jeremy Oakes replied to Steve Moddelmog's topic in Computer Systems
I always Clone my HDD’s once every 3 weeks so that if one fails i can just insert its clone into my system. Other people will certainly clone more often. I don’t have to go through re-installation etc. Try a recovery software (Google, there are freebies out there). you have Acronis - did you make a start up disk from which you can boot then restore ? If not, you’re knackered. Jerry PS : use punctuation/paras in your posts, its easier to read ! (No offence). -
Anyone have a dedicated USB out electric guitar device?
Jeremy Oakes replied to Marc Harris's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I have amps and pedals that have their own USB ASIO drivers. However, i would always recommend using a multi pedal line out into an instrument input of an audio device - Boss GT100 and Focusrite 18i20 in my case. i also have a Line6 and a couple of Digitech multis. Forget the AsIo’s, line out into the audio device is the way to go. Just my 2 Eurocents. Jerry -

Recently Discovered 1967 Gibson Factory Tour
Jeremy Oakes replied to SteveStrummerUK's topic in The Coffee House
I particularly enjoyed the Spanish guitar player - reminded me of some of Jan Akkerman's work from the early 70's (solo and Focus). Jerry -
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Is this what you mean ??

driver update causes plug in chain failure
Jeremy Oakes replied to charles kasler's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Which interface ? What os ? I have the 18i20 running on its latest drivers with no issues. Rolling back will not necessarily help - any error messages, from CbB or in the event viewer ?. Jerry -
Morning Mashup - Led Zeppelin vs The Beatles
Jeremy Oakes replied to TheMaartian's topic in The Coffee House
Great question. This enquiring mind would also like to know. I once asked Rick Beato how he got the isolated tracks when he analysed a song. He never replied. Jerry -

[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2022.02 Update 1 Early Access
Jeremy Oakes replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Weird one here : * open a drum midi track in the PRV * change the names of the piano keyboard to drum names *the small dialogue window pops up for kit selection. Select any one from the list * the piano notes change to drum names, as expected. * click on a drum note to edit it and ......... poof ....... the drum note names change back to the piano roll keyboard. Happens to any selected kit. I've just updated to 2022.02 Build 037 via the toast that popped up when opening CbB. This did not happen in previous versions. before. Cheers, Jerry PS : I tried to upload a gif video but the website reported "upload failed". -
Is Cakewalk Reliable For Large Projects?
Jeremy Oakes replied to Tim Smith's topic in The Coffee House
Agreed, large projects are not an issue with Cakewalk. If we record a live set (1 hour +) we use a Soundcraft MTK 22 with full USB capability into an i5 laptop running a 16 track CbB template. Bees knees ! FWIW, Cubase, Samplitude, Magix audio products, Fruity Loops et al install their own version of our favourite wrapper. In most cases you’re given a choice during initial software installation if you want it or not. Just do the registry “hack” if it it slips through onto your system. Jerry -
Cakewalk/Realtek/ASIO and Windows 11 ?
Jeremy Oakes replied to Michael Finnity's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The way to get rid of the Realtek driver coming back is to turn off the on-board audio device in the Bios, or, if you’re not comfortable delving under the bonnet, disable it in Windows device manager. You can then safely delete the dreaded Asio4All. There will be a registry key to delete too. You can then use your off-board audio device for both Windows and DAW work. You have not yet said if you have one and what it is. I have done this on my desktop and audio + W11 works just fine (Focusrite 18i20). Same goes for the laptop on W10. J -
Cakewalk resetting to 44.1khz 32bit
Jeremy Oakes replied to Michael Reynolds's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
If you use your audio device as a Windows sound card, check that the Windows settings are the same as your card. In your case they both need to be 48/24. My Focusrite 18i20 automatically syncs to 44.1/24 which is what Windows (11) is set to. That is what i use in Cakewalk. Just a thought. J -
I must be a little slow (like your bounce) but why would you bounce individual tracks to individual tracks ? What is the advantage over simply getting a great sound, using albeit some effects, then bouncing to a stereo mix track ? Just curious. J
