I know the end result will be well worth the wait, and I think it's really cool that you can do that. Everybody sing along! Anticipation, anticipay ay shun.

I watched the video and I was wondering where you got all those Windows. Usually, that control is for cycling between open views, such as Track, Staff, Piano Roll, etc. At least, that's what I have always used it for. Then I thought, "maybe he has more than 1 project open and he's cycling between those open projects". So, I opened one of my own, went into Preferences and unchecked 'allow only one open project at a time', which is checked by default. I then opened a few more projects and they all appeared under the Window gadget. I believe you are switching between different projects. Is that what you intended?

Do you have any older versions of Cakewalk programs that included the DropZone sample player? That does what you want. I don't think Cakewalk by Bandlab has a sampler/player. Don't know about Sonar or Cakewalk Next.

I'm not sure I understand this. After exporting, when you play the bounced track in Cakewalk, it's too quiet? Without changing a thing in any setting? What do you listen to the exported track with? Windows Media Player? Some other media player? Do you use busses in your projects? While not an absolute necessity, they are handy for mixing your music. I see your export source is the Focusrite and not a Master bus. Most of us use busses, with like instruments routed to a single bus that then is sent to a Master bus that leads to the Main outs. I usually export or bounce from the Master bus.

They do know the house is already built, right?

There is an entire forum dedicated to instrument definitions here, probably thousands, your keyboard might be one of them.

How did you do that? Where did the MIDI file come from? Directly from the Yamaha or from the hard drive of the computer? Or a thumb drive?

Naugahide. When the nauga became endangered, Kustom had to stop making them.

Welcome to the forum. That could be almost anything, including loose cables. What are your export settings? If you could provide a screen shot of that window that will help. Are you using MIDI with software synthesizers? What audio interface or sound card are you using? Under Preferences (P), what Driver Mode are you using with that device? What device are you using to play the exported track? Try Bouncing down the song to a single stereo track in the project, then mute all the tracks except the bounced track. How does that track sound?

Traverse is my favorite.

You should always make copies of your tracks or projects before doing any major editing or rendering.

For audio, select the track/clip, (go to the top, Process>Length, set it to maybe 125%, which will slow it down but keep the pitch. Welcome to the forum.

You would think that the Pearl Jam concert I went to in the mid aughts wasn't memorable, but it was a good show. I just forgot it. ?

Was the guitar in tune?

Because you survived.

According to Wiki, they have more than 11* live albums. *I didn't actually count them when I was there, but it was a lot!

If you right-click the drum/cymbal icon, you can select which sound you want it to play. Is that what you mean? Clicking the icon at the bottom, middle or top changes the velocity, so altering the velocity of a note in the PRV or Staff will also change the sound.

So, you never had any Cakewalk program before this one? Then that synth will not be available. There is a thread somewhere in these forums about other free or low-cost General MIDI soft synths that you can use...

What program are you using? We assume Cakewalk by Bandlab, latest version. That doesn't include TTS-1. If you downloaded any earlier version of CbB, that did include it, in which case you click the Insert button at the top, then Soft Synths>TTS-1.

The afternoon before the concert that I attended, they gave a free concert for the GIs.

Bitflipper and I were both in Frankfurt at the same time, and that's where I saw my first concerts, at 14 years old. Grand Funk, still one of my favorite bands, with Mott the Hoople opening for them at the Messe in Dec. 1971. Then, Ten Tears After a month later at the same venue. The GF tickets were 14 DM, about 3.5 USD at that time. I haven't been to a lot of concerts, due to a problem with large crowds, so all of the ones I have seen are memorable. Jeff Beck at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, ~1981, David Gilmour around 1987? The 'Blue Light Tour I think it was, in southern Florida. The North Carolina Symphony Orchestra doing Beethoven's last symphony a few years ago.

Drove from NC to Cali in 1978 on I 10 in early Sept. I had to run my heater to keep the engine temp below 220 degrees across most of New Mexico and Arizona.

That's right. Cakewalk plays straight through the sound card or audio interface bypassing any other audio software. Glad you figured it out.

Usually this is due to audio "enhancements" in WMP and other players. Realistically, every system sounds different, although not always so different as to be noticeable. Bounce your song down to a single stereo track in your project and solo it. Does it sound the same? Export it then import it into the same project and solo it. Does it sound the same? Of course, I assume you use a Master bus to run all your audio tracks through, and set your bounced/imported audio to that same Master. In WMP especially, turn off all the included effects and compare the results.

More importantly, where does the hole go when you've finished the doughnut?
