Changing cables fixed it. For now.

Try changing your workspace to 'None'.

Put a MIDI note with a very low velocity at the place you want it to start, or other MIDI message.

Cool. Now I need to check other things.

Geez, Wookiee, I don't know. How do I find that out? I looked up my update history and checked out the latest info contained in each one and didn't see anything about MIDI 2.0. But I'm not fluent in technese. Read a little about it in Pete Brown's article Windows MIDI Services October 2024 Update - Windows MIDI and Music dev which was the latest paper I saw. It only mentioned 'possible backwards compatibility with W 10 API 1.0'. Or words to that effect. Will do some more troubleshooting tonight once the new cables arrive.

Probably coincidental, but after the last update a week ago on this W 10 machine, MIDI has refused to record in Cakewalk Sonar, X3, and SHS 6. It will play back correctly through my Yamaha keyboard, but recording is hit or miss. Sometimes the app will record a few notes but get stuck. The keystrokes were only a quarter note or so, but graphically, the notes are never ending in the TV, PRV and Staff views and in playback. Other times it will begin recording several measures in. Rebooting the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 didn't help. Waiting for some new MIDI cables to test. It just seemed weird that this happened immediately after the update and my enrollment in the W 10 support extension.

John and George seem to be having a good time.

It's all the way at the top.

Quoting HOOK will draw his attention when he checks back in, if HOOK does check in again. Otherwise, HOOK may never think to check a 3-year-old post.

I'm wondering why you have so many muted tracks that are selected and the export option to render muted/soloed tracks? Plus, it seems like most of the tracks still have an input selected. Confuses me. Maybe confusing the computer, as well.

Have you seen the latest bi-weekly post in News and Announcements on the main forum page? Greater customization is coming.

😉

That's cool, Steve. Started reading it but will have to finish another day. It got long. And you know how I like The Beatles. It's nice to see something I haven't already seen.

Is that like nonexistium?

That stinks. 😁

What's that?

That is really odd. I have a 12-year-old, 8 GB of RAM computer running through a Focusrite 4i4 3rd generation interface set pretty high and get 0 latency when monitoring through the interface.

I aleays use the Master bus as my source for the bounce, making sure all the audio is flowing through that bus.

You won't be able to stay with Cakewalk by Bandlab much longer. It's unsupported and eventually you won't be able to reactivate it at all.

Lots of ways to change speed. I would wait until all recording is finished, bounce the mix to a stereo track, then use Process>Length to alter the, um, length making it slower or faster, depending on which way you want to go.

Maybe hit Save after bouncing to clips before saving as a .bun file. Which isn't even necessary nowadays. Save as a normal project file making sure to include any audio. Put on CD, DVD, thumb drive or backup HD.

Welcome to the forum. If by "free cakewalk" you mean Cakewalk by Bandlab, it is dead. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that it won't work anymore since Cakewalk has been telling us for months that it is ending soon. I don't know how you missed all the pop-ups that happened every time you opened the program telling you to re-activate and/or that it can't be activated after a certain time. I read that some folks still have working apps, but the coffin lid is being nailed shut as we speak. I don't think you can even download Cakewalk by Bandlab anymore. There are other options: the free version of their latest Sonar program, or the full, for cost, version of Sonar. If you ever owned a paid, downloadable Cakewalk program, you should still be able to acquire it from Cakewalk's legacy page, and you can continue with SONAR X(x), or SONAR Platinum. As long as you still have your credentials, email, original log-in information, serial numbers and activation codes. Good luck!

This is from the Cakewalk by Bandlab Reference Guide. "Bouncing to clips Individual audio clips in the same track can be combined into a single clip with the Bounce to Clip(s) command. Note 1: Like any clips, slip-edited clips can be combined with other clips using the Bounce to Clip(s) command. When a slip edited clip is combined with another clip, any slip-edited data (audio clips or MIDI events that are cropped from view) is overwritten. Note 2: You control the bit depth of all rendering operations (bouncing, freezing, applying effects) in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data, in the Render Bit Depth field. The default value of 32 is the best for most situations. See “Bit depths for rendering audio” on page 1361 for more information. To bounce to clips 1. Select the clips to be combined in the Track view. 2. Click the Track view Clips menu and choose Bounce to Clip(s). The clips are combined into a single clip. Empty space between clips is filled with silence in the new clip. All clip automation from the source clips is applied to the new clip. Bouncing AudioSnap and stretched clips Cakewalk includes a command to select all AudioSnap and stretched clips. The primary use of this command is to quickly select all stretched audio clips before you use the Track view Clips > Bounce to Clip(s) command. There are two common reasons why you may want to bounce AudioSnap and stretched clips: To free up CPU resources during playback. In order to save a bundle (.cwb) file, which does not support AudioSnap data. Editing audio Basic audio editing To select all AudioSnap and stretched clips On the Edit menu, point to Select and click All AudioSnap/Slipstretched. To bounce multiple audio clips to a new track 1. Select the clips to be combined in the Track view. 2. Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Bounce to Track(s). The Bounce to Track(s) dialog box appears. 3. Select the track you want to bounce to in the Destination field. 4. Select other options in the Mixdown Audio/Bounce to Track(s) dialog box and click OK. The clips are combined into a single clip on the destination track. Empty space between clips is filled with silence in the new clip." Presuming you're using CbB, which this forum is for.

If you're using the ASIO from RealTek and not TASCAM's, it could be a problem. Welcome to the forum.

I don't know. I've been thinking about this a bit and maybe have a project template with all of your plug-ins and synths in it and then when creating a new song, you can mute one drum synth and unmute the other or reroute your outs to another drummer and so on. Possibly have a project template set up like you want it, have both projects open and drag the new synth track to the new work. Seems impossible. Welcome to the forum.
