Hey guys. I don't know if this is the issue group to post this topic. I will be in Austin/TX between the 25th and 9/29/2023. It would be really positive if you could meet with a Cakewalk partner who lives in the city to exchange experiences and everything else related to music production. If any of the friends are available during the period, kindly call me in private. Hug.

Don't work.

I got a little closer to what I would like to do. 1 - Insert midi clips. 2 - In each of them I changed the tuning. That worked. I couldn't access your links about inserting pitch markers. Which is exactly what I want to do. Creating melodic bass lines, etc.

I want to take the samples from the basslines and change the bars to the notes/chords I want. In ACID I did a lot of that, but it was with wav samples. With MIDI sequences I don't know how to do it.

Thanks for the answer. I will try to be more clear. I want to know if it's possible to do something like the image, that is: change the sequence of the midis notes for the chords. C - F - G - C Note that the midis notes remain at their original values.

I've always been interested in inserting samples of standard instruments into a MIDI track and being able to change the tonalities. Something like C - G - F - C . I was able to do a lot of things by positioning each sample within the MIDI grid on the desired note. With the evolution of the application, I think there could be a more modern way of doing it. Something in JOINTS. If anyone can help me thanks. My wish is quite simple: Include or midi samples and be able to change to a desired chord sequence.

I believe the answer to my question lies in the correction brought by the latest version of the plugin.

I use the free MT POWERDRUMKIT 2 plugin in my productions, separating each piece of drums into a specific channel that receives the stereo from the plugin for each piece. I've noticed that the SIDE-STICK sometimes ends up sounding like the MIDI note is doubled, popping/clipping, sometimes even reverberating. My question is if this is a known plugin issue or something you can fix either in the plugin settings or with a plugin on his channel. Details: the project is completely flat, that is, there is no plugin or any other treatment in the channel or master. Any suggestion ?

I think most of us still don't realize that the relationship has completely changed. When the programs are free/free, what is created is a participatory, collaborative community, where everyone seeks the same end, which is the constant improvement of the program. The company, unilaterally, which is its full right, will change this relationship. It's kind of like a marriage where the couple owns a joint business and one of them files for divorce but wants to keep the business. The relationship changes completely. It is no longer partnership/collaboration, but consumption with completely different relationship rules where even that affectionate codename (BAKERS) no longer makes sense.

There's so much talk about those pixels that I was remembering someone's comment on the forum that DAW is for music creation. Unless I have missed something and have to learn to use PHOTOSHOP , COREL DRAW .....

I have a proposal to make to friends of the community, considering that, apparently, at least not until now, registration and participation in the forum will still not be charged. Therefore, I think we should leave this post aside and create a topic where we, users, could actually help each other. The topic I propose is that it be an evaluative approach of all DAWs available on the market, considering prices, features, etc. In my case, I live in Brazil to buy $1 dollar I pay R$5 reais, 1 Euro pays R$6 reais, 1 pound pays 6.50 pounds. When DAW was free this financial reality did not exist. Now yes ! Which, of course, must have been included in the world-scene assessments of its use.

I see that at the moment there is a lot of focus on the "display pixels" issue, when, in fact, it should be focusing on Usability x Performance x Stability. It is clear that a new version, which will be charged to the user, should not add the numerous BUGs reported in the free version, as well as the hundreds of suggestions for improvements brought by the community over the years. That being the case, since we are going to pay, I will do as the market behaves: I will try to better evaluate the existing DAWs, prices, functionalities, performance, etc., evaluating the best cost/benefit ratio. Since, when the application was free, I'm sure that many users, like me, revealed bugs, non-implementations of improvements suggested by the community, etc. Upon being paid, it enters the market where the cost/benefit ratio is evaluated.

In order to collaborate with the post, below is an evaluation of the 23 best DAWs of 2023. https://woodandfirestudio.com/pt/die-12-besten-daws/#:~:text=força em força.-,PreSonus Studio One%3A O melhor DAW por pouco dinheiro,Sphere (%2414.95%2Fmês). Detail: Cakewalk the best free. When it ceases to be free, its valuation scale will certainly change......

My current problem is that the program loads, but does not reach this screen. It simply aborts the operation without any message. I've tried everything, reinstalling, redownloading and reinstalling. Any other tips?

In the paid version, some kind of discounts will be offered to users who, like me, have actively participated in the improvement, enhancements and corrections in the EA versions ???? It is a marketing and relationship suggestion that I bring.

Is it possible to participate in the Beta version of this wonder?

This is an old claim: being able, in the console view, to operate in a better way in terms of usability than marking the view or not of the track. I myself have a post addressing this request and @Herbert Zio there is also another post with the same approach.

For some reason I can't specify the application, when executed, it loads, but immediately after it closes without any message. I reinstalled the REDIST files and everything, but I can't get it to run again. I'm running it on a Dell Notebook, with no asio audio interface. Any idea ????

STEP BY STEP 1 - On a computer with an IPAD 2 connected via USB - Install JAILBREAK for the IPAD 2 (there are several videos on Youtube that guide you on how to do this) in order to allow the device to survive. 2 - On a computer, install an old version of Itunes that allows you to GET the MIDI CONTROLLER application from the APP Store. A 12.6.5.3 é uma delas. 3 - In the APP Store, enter the COMPRAS option where the application previously obtained via Itunes will already be listed. Click on the Cloud icon. The APP Store will ask if we want to install the latest version of the app for our device. We reply that YES and app will be installed. 4 - In the MIDI CONTROLLER create a Connection via Windows TCP, that is, by an IP of the Wi-fi Network used, which must be the same as the one used by the IPAD 2 and the computer where Cakewalk is located. To obtain the ip of the computer on the wi-fi network, just enter the Windows CMD and run the IPCONFIG program. The IP to be informed when connecting the MIDI CONTROLLER is what appears in the line presented as: IPV4 ADDRESS. In the details of the connection configuration there is one that will receive the port number. Make a note of this number as you will need to enter it in the LoopMe driver setup later on the computer. 5 - Install the LOOPME driver on the computer, as instructed in the MIDI CONTROLLER help. 6 - Run the program that downloads with it with the screen below and inform the same port informed in the creation of the MIDI CONTROLLER connection. 7 - With that done, it will be enough, already in Cakewalk, to configure the LoopBe device that will already appear as a MIDI device that I configured only as an input device. 8 - Set up as a control surface like the image below. 9 - Finally, access the free preset setup called CUBA on the iPad 2. So I got it and am using the old iPad 2 as a control surface.

Where is the Tutorials forum ?

RESOLVED With your opinion I was able to connect my iPad 2 via MIDI CONTROLLER and I share my step by step for this in the hope of being able to help other users who may come across the same need.

So I got it and am using the old iPad 2 as a control surface. Especially to practice/record my drums on my dear Alesis.

I understood but, from what I saw, it only works if the iPad is connected via USB. My intention is to command the DAW via wifi network, ip, bluetooth, etc.

Very good. I also got this far and even managed to connect with Cakewalk via the IP of the machine where it is installed. I managed with the driver suggested by them. With RTP Midi there was even a connection, but it was not executed. An interesting piece of information is that my Nano Kontrol turned out to be disconnected. So I think this is information that @msmcleod should already have.
