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.

At the top of this page, click Cakewalk>Online Documentation or >Reference Guide PDF.

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!

I'm not Jonathan, but the best way is to upload your project file to the cloud and message him here with the link. I think that's what you wrote. 😉

If you've already read the above, that should be 'Aux Tracks' and not 'Patch Points" And it may not record on both tracks? To record an audio track that contains effects 1. Insert the desired time-based plug-in effect(s) in the effect bin on the audio track. 2. Click the audio track’s Output control and select New Aux Track on the pop-up menu. 3. Arm the Aux track for recording. For details, see “Arming tracks for recording” on page 355. 4. Begin recording. For details, see “To Record Audio” on page 363. copied from page 994 of the Reference Guide.

I think that by using a AZux Tracks, you can direct the output of the track that's being recorded to another track and then have one track with the effect in the bin and the other track with the effected audio. A plus is that by deleting the FX in the original track, you now have a clean and dirty recording. Aux Tracks have been around for a while, so not new to Cakewalk Sonar.

I seem to remember reading here that 32-bit DX will not work in 64-bit OSes.

Here's what my reference guide says, "The following plug-in types are supported: DirectX and VST audio effects. MFX MIDI effects DXi and VSTi instruments".

DX is/was native to Windows. It does not need to be scanned. If the Windows operating system 'sees' it, it may work in Cakewalk.

Why is France?

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.
