Twenty years of cigarette smoke and high dust environment.

When I wrote 'they don't do anything when pressed', they actually do. Click the CD button, the radio comes on. Push the DVD control, the TV input is activated. It's all random, you never know what you're going to get. It's a 25-year-old Denon, and the JVC I replaced it with is of similar vintage, but the buttons work. If I soaked it in contact cleaner for a few days, it might start working again. 😁 I have a newer Denon in the living room that could work except for the lack of RCA inputs, only 1 (!). Seems like everything needs to be HDMI these days. Saving for a new receiver.

Experienced a big "ow" moment last week. Installed a used stereo amplifier in my system to replace the other used one which no longer allowed any setting to be changed. It didn't matter what button you pushed, nothing would happen, except the power. The remote broke years ago. I connected my mixer to the phono input, not realizing that the amp had an internal phono preamp. Powered up Sonar, loaded a project, hit play and nearly blew the speakers and my ears! Ouch and oops. Never gonna do that again. Knocks wood.

You cannot use the sounds of your Roland E-A7 'in the DAW'. You can play the DAW through the keyboard using MIDI (if you have a Roland E-A7) and record that keyboard's audio output into an audio track in Cakewalk Sonar.

A hardware synth.

Click on an effect's or synth's GUI, then hit your computer's F1 key. That will usually bring up that app's Help file.

I don't think I do, John. I'm not sure what I would look for. In any case, I purchased CaSon back in July and it seems to work fine, also. What I really need is a Time Producer and an Inspiration Generator.

Try recording 2 mono inputs on separate tracks (L on 1 track, R on the other) and see what happens.

For what it's worth, I have 64-bit SONAR Home Studio 6 working on this W 10 machine. I can't say 'perfectly' because I haven't used it enough to uncover any flaws. It records well, plays back as it should, but beyond that...

I remember when I got my first computer and bought a copy of "Windows for Dummies" (I was definitely a dummy) and just about the first sentence in it was something like 'put this book away until you have a problem'.

The first thing Mike taught me was the bass to Peter Gunn. do do do do do do do do.

My brother Mike was only 11 months older than me and was teaching himself to play guitar (with help from our 2 older brothers). He was left-handed but we only had right-handed guitars in the house, so he had to learn that way. He would teach me bass lines to 1968's popular songs, and he would play along. Probably the first song chords I learned was Bad Moon Rising or other CCR song.

In TTS-1, if you set the channel, bank and patch in the Track Pane, it will be saved. At least that's how it's always worked for me.

Finished it, Steve. I liked it!
