I wonder if they're an American company and know what getting the clap means?

Did it in 5 clicks. Two tracks selected/soloed. Hit Tracks above, Bounce to Tracks. Make sure Entire Mix (main outs) is selected, or your Master bus. Hit OK. Try that and see if you get the results you want.

That could be a problem. I have always 'played' in the MIDI melody and then typed the lyrics. I have read here that you can drag an audio track into either Melodyne or into the timeline? and extract MIDI from that. No experience. Once the lyrics are in the Staff View, you can open them in the Lyrics View. In SHS 6, anyway.

I don't know, but you can automate the track panning. Someone else may know more later. Welcome to the forum.

After 2 and a half years I finally installed my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 third generation interface on this computer. Looking forward to recording some new music in the next few years. ?

What do you want to know? I often insert lyrics and they seem to scroll in time to the song correctly. I don't know where a tutorial might be, I just went by the Help files for SONAR Home Studio 6 many years ago and that worked. Search forum member John Vere AKA Cactus Music; he wrote a bunch of tuts and maybe he has one for lyrics.

Have you optimized the laptop for audio?

I wonder if I can eat this entire cake?

Where's the monocle?

In my experience, libraries are folders full of samples which are loaded into players and thus don't require scanning. They are typically dragged into a sample player or synth from their folder.

Ditto.

Check out Bouncing, Rendering and Exporting in the Help files. Probably more ways to do it, too.

Welcome to the forum. First some info from you. How is the kit connected to the computer? Direct via USB? With MIDI through an interface? Telekinesis? ? If by USB, did you have to download a driver for the cable and was it recognized by Windows and Cakewalk? If through an interface, did you download and install the proper drivers for that interface? Were they recognized by Windows and Cakewalk? The kit must play through a MIDI track. What input options do you have for your MIDI tracks? They should be the USB cable or the interface. Is the MIDI track's output set to the VSTis input? It seems like you may know much of this, so let us know what you've tried already and maybe we can offer some more ideas.

Where can I get one of those?

I thought I remembered seeing a control to "Don't Use Take Lanes", but that may have been several iterations ago. Or wishful thinking.

If I understand you correctly, set this to All.

I remember an interview with him from decades ago when he said he had to get into music to get girls, because he looked "like a pear with a Brillo pad on top". He was a cool guy and wrote the ultimate anti-establishment song "Almost Cut My Hair" (see above). My brother Mike and I played and sang many Byrds and CSNY songs back then. Loved the harmonies. 4 Way Street was a favorite album. RIP.

Oh, and make sure the audio file is in an audio track and not a MIDI track.

First, click P on the computer keyboard. Find where it lists Playback and Recording Master. What is listed for playback? Set the output of the audio track to the same thing. Can you hear it now?

Welcome to the forum. Almost 2 days and no responses. I'll give it a try. Before you inserted a software synthesizer (VSTi), did you hear anything while writing MIDI notes? What were you using to hear the notes? A MIDI keyboard? Microsoft's GS Wavetable synth? What is the MIDI track's output set to? It must be set to the VSTi. What is the VSTi's output set to? It must be set to a valid output; if it's set to S/PDIF Output 1 and you don't have anything connected to the S/PDIF output, you won't hear anything. Do you have an audio interface or are you using the computer's sound chip? Any audio must be channelled through whichever you're using. What is your computer's operating system?

For 1 track? Point the output of the MIDI track to a different synth.

Or, as I do, don't use take lanes. ?

The army has a vehicle that can carry a squad's gear and follow them wherever they go on foot, stopping and starting when the troops do. I saw a baby carriage (pram) on the news last week that will follow the parents, stopping and starting as they go. I would never use one of those, but I'm sure many parents will. I imagine a speaker that, when the gig is done, you just press a button and it rolls itself out to the van and loads itself in it. Like R2D2.

I started with Cakewalk's Music Creator 2003, then CWMC Pro 24 and my most-used DAW, Cakewalk's SONAR Home Studio 6 XL. They were all pretty similar, functionally. When Music Creator 6 came out, Cakewalk gave me a copy (thanks, Cakewalk!), presumably so I would use it and comment about it in the MC forum, in which I was active. I couldn't get used to the new ways of doing things and never really utilized it to its full potential. I've had CbB for several years, but am still using SHS 6 on my ancient computer, but am trying to digest as much info about it as I can here for that day...
