I feel your pain John. I also struggle a lot with tempo and tempo map myself. I think for the uninitiated, it is a topic that is hard to grasp in Cakewalk. I do not have a solution, but I may have info that might help figure it out. Keep in mind that Mark and Craig are light years ahead of me knowledge wise and my suggestions should be taken with that in mind. What I have noticed when adjusting tempo, is when I do it at the start before I edit anything, I have much more success. When I have done some editing and a track gets broken up in two or more clips, things get moved around when I change the tempo. But only on tracks that made of multiple clips. I believe that if all you have are tracks that are one clip and all start at timestamp 0, it should be easier to change the tempo.

The suspense is killing me! ?

Something I don't understand or is wrong in the video: I am pretty sure Larry post's deals before they are available, not seconds after they are!

This is the first time I hear about this digital mag. Very informative! Their articles have a lot of depth. The Mixbox article with pros and cons paint's a more realistic picture than most reviews on YouTube. A well written article still can offer more info than a 10 minutes video it seems...

Oh man, thanks Mike! Being a guitar player, I am not using midi all that much, although I love keyboards in a song. But with this new release of Cakewalk, I kept wondering what the fuss about articulation was. I must admit, shamelessly, that I have no idea what it is and how it is such a great idea. But now I'll go check out your video and I'll finally know!

Thank you very much for this release. Cakewalk gets better and better and your hard work is truly appreciated. You guys rock!

Yes it is. I got this email this morning:

I also used to be an avid reader in the early days of the magazine. Its been running since 1975! For those who don't know: Electronic Magazine was co-founded by Craig Anderton you all see dropping here once in a while...

You can take Peter's word for it: in a nutshell: The introductory pricing runs through December 31st but the release date will be during Q4.

This is more difficult than I thought! Now I have to figure out the second word of a page of a magazine that isn't out yet! ? You guys are making these riddles very hard you know! ?

This seems to be exactly the same as OutlawCM offered free with Computer Music magazine. Useful if you don't already have it.

Who can't remember what plugins he has, tsk tsk! ? I had to check too! ?

Got mine in a matter of seconds. Lucky me I guess. Now downloading the IR lib. Thanks @cclarry !

But the images show two other entries for the Omni channel above the two ones highlighted!?!? I too am using the Scheps Omni Channel and it is working fine for me with the latest early access and previous versions... If there is anything I can try for you let me know.

... and no problem in that other DAW, what's its name again? Cakewalk I believe! ?

Hum, I didn't see any options in the Waves installer about VST2/VST3, but is it possible that the VST2 was not installed, or not in a path Mixbus is searching for? Mixbus does not support VST3.

With Mixbus, I got a warning message in the log: [WARNING]: Ignored VST plugin which is newer than cache: 'C:\Program Files\Vstplugins\WaveShell1-VST 11.0_x64.dll' (cache: 'C:\Users\Jacques\AppData\Local\Mixbus5\cache\vst\9af9eac4a9bf3ee865efb88f49e450d99498c75a.fsi64') Here is how I fixed the problem: Open the 'Preferences' window Click on 'Plugin/VST' Click 'clear' on both 'VST Cache' and 'VST Blacklist' (Although I believe only the cache is really necessary) Go back to 'Plugins' and click 'Scan for Plugins' Finally: go make yourself a coffee, it's going to be awhile..

It's no that bad, and it may still be useful for your needs, but it has some glitches. Here is a portion of it at 150%. if you look closely at the boxes around ST/DUO/MS and at the filter types below them in DS2, you should see some of the artifacts of resizing. It is still quite usable, and if you have a high resolution screen it may not be much of a trade off to see things better. I hope this helps you decide. Cheers!

I updated this morning. The resizing is so so on some plugins, good on others. It is pretty bad on the Scheps Omni Channel. The preset browser is quite nice for me. On the Scheps Omni Channel it makes it much easier to check out presets and zero in to the best preset (starting point) for a particular track. ex. just typing 'el' makes it easy to find all the presets for electric guitar. Very very nice! One feature not mentioned in the upgrade info: I got a ton of new presets for the Scheps Omni Channel which was well worth the 13$ I paid for WUP. Very nice surprise! All in all, I find v12 worth it.

Great to see your back Larry!

The link is broken, but the text of the link is correct. Here is a functional link: Drum replacer video

I don't see it either. Can you give us a heads up Fleer? What plugin is it?

You can go on their forum and you will find discussion threads about VST3 support. In short, they are working on it, but no time frame is given. But they say it is at the top of their priority list. My opinion: VST3 is a really important feature, especially since the likes of Melodyne is VST3 only, and it probably will hurt sales if not added asap. That said, if you like a workflow similar to an analog console, I certainly do, Mixbus is a very nice DAW to work with and sounds great! For 19$, it's a steal!

Just saw the news before dinner. Dawn, what a loss! ?

Yes, the GT-1 sends and receives audio through USB. I do presently run the analog out of the GT-1 through the 2i2 so that I can hear everything through my monitors which are connected to the 2i2. If I want to use the GT-1 digitally through its USB interface, then I must use the GT-1's headphone out for monitoring. I wish I could use the GT-1 as an input to Cakewalk and use the 2i2 as output. That is not possible presently. The idea of using the GT-1's USB interface is to eliminate analog conversions and getting the best signal possible. Being a world renowned guitarist picky guy, I always look at the best way to get my audio into Cakewalk. Might not make much of a difference, who knows...
