  1. Yes. I can't understand how sighted people can play that. She must be an alien.
  2. I also use a drum track, with the count-in in that drum track.
  3. I was wondering the same thing a few days ago. Couldn't find a way to do it. That space is reserved for other controls, like sends, etc.
  4. We lived through some great times, didn't we? You mentioned before that you were there at the same time as me. I was one of the kids you defended. Thanks for your service, Dave.
  5. I must say, that was fantastic! Watched the whole thing. I couldn't turn away. Love me some ELP. Watching Rachel Flowers play the keyboard, I was amazed anyone could play that, and how in the world did anyone think it up? (Thanks, Keith!) All of the performers were first-rate and how did the vocalist monitor the recording? I didn't see any headphones or ear buds. Studio magic? While there were a couple of geezers, it is encouraging to see young people appreciate this 50-year-old music enough to want learn it and play it so well. And was that Dave's Nord?
  6. So others can benefit from any good info in the thread, and possibly a solution for their problem. It's like a library; they don't throw away the books after you've read and returned them.

    Midi

    If you are looking for a way to control the volumes of your MIDI tracks with 1 control, you can route your soft synth outputs to a single bus, or, if you use your keyboard's sounds, use the keyboard's volume knob. The latter is what I do.
  8. Cocaine. Requested often and we always complied. Sometimes 4 or 5 times a night. Another Brick In The Wall. Same thing. Early 80s time period.
  9. The Markers view in CbB. It lists all the markers in your project, alas it seems you can't externally choose between them. I think you have to select with the mouse only. With Change Marker Properties, you can lock them to SMPTE (Real World) time. I wonder if there is a keyboard shortcut to go the specific times in a song?
  10. If no other solution works, try recording on another track.
  11. I saw on FB that yesterday was the anniversary of the release of Deep Purple In Rock. In 1972, we were living in Frankfurt and my mother took me out of school for a week to go with her to Berlin, a sightseeing trip. My father's job in the Air Force was sensitive and he wasn't allowed to travel to the East Zone, so I was volunteered. Took the train, and I remember being stopped at the border, and East German and Soviet soldiers boarding and searching the train. I wonder what they were looking for? We stayed in a military-run hotel and spent the week seeing the sights, hence the name. Checkpoint Charlie and the wall, the Brandenburg Gate and all the other points of interest. While walking along the Kurfurstendamm, I spied a record store, and went in while Mom took a break at a coffee shop. Deep Purple was kind of a new band to me, and I found In Rock in the bins and thought the cover was cool. I bought it, I think for 12 DM? About 3 bucks. Man, that album blew me away. Listening to it in my room with the speakers next to my head (I already had ear damage, so, why not?) it was amazing to hear and feel. Sent me on a Deep Purple album-buying spree. One of my favorite bands ever. I still have it.
  12. I see you have no questions about this; I would certainly question why you can't select specific input channels. I think everyone else can. Can you list your gear? Keyboard/controller, sound card or audio interface (if any), and how you're inputting data (mouse, recording keyboard). Maybe a screenshot or two of your Preferences re: MIDI settings, etc. Your queries suggest you're an experienced computer musician and are baffled by the simplicity of Cakewalk and/or MIDI basics, or are a complete neophyte, which I don't think you are. I'm not the most knowledgeable guy here, but I get on okay. I'm sure you will, too. Lots of folks here that can help.
  13. Another reason to never visit Jersey. ? Sorry about your predicament, Bub, and hope you get well soon!
  14. I don't have this device, but the picture shows a 'Mixer' knob, with 'Inputs' and 'Playback' as the range. That looks like it would control the volume of your input with respect to what the computer is playing. Try turning that one way or the other to balance the signals to taste. Good luck!
  15. Ettore's Law: The other line always moves faster.
  16. Like with some other things, the thicker the better. Pertinent exactly now in sequence.
  17. Welcome to the forum. How are you trying to activate CbB?
  18. One doc I remember from my youth is Mad Dogs and Englishmen. I saw it ~1972 and, besides all the great performances, I remember how much fun everyone seemed to be having. Funny that I haven't seen it since, possibly because it's not in regular rotation on TV. That's Joe Cocker, if you were wondering. An acquired taste, to be sure, but I like good rock and blues. Leon Russell, too, before he got famous. To each his own. I love the Who, and Who's Next is among my possible choices for best album of all time.
