I've known a few girls like that.

They got a lot of cacti in British Columbia? ? I'm glad to see Cakewalk becoming more international and more people coming here for advice. I'm even happier when one of the forum members can answer in the OP's language.

With Cakewalk open, press P (Preferences) on the computer keyboard. You should see everything you need to know in there.

And just to be clear; in my 19 years using Cakewalk software, I've never needed any kind of keyboard to use the software and hear what I created. I do have one, though. You can enter notes in a MIDI track with the mouse and set up that track to play through a software synthesizer and hear it without a keyboard. It's all in the set up. These guys will help you get there. And many of us are older folks; I'm 64. How are you getting MIDI data into a track?

Well, I think freezing or bouncing would be faster. I don't know why you're getting these results and I've never tried to do it that way. Read up on Automation. Once you have your recorded, bounced or frozen audio tracks, you can automate the volumes of the tracks by riding the faders while it's playing and be able to easily adjust any 'wrong' levels you may have entered by moving the nodes you created. Of course, that should be done without riding the faders while recording the tracks, your method.

Yet banana pudding is soooo good.

Base 57, glad you got power back. Next: Flying cars!

Under Preferences>MIDI Devices, you should have something selected for input and output. Since this is a "no drivers needed" keyboard, it may be something like 'Generic USB MIDI Driver' If that is chosen for both input and output, you should be able to set up a MIDI track to record, record your performance, and then play it back through the Casio and hear it if the Casio has speakers or you have your headphones plugged into it. If you have the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synthesizer selected for output, you should be able to hear it from your computer's speakers.

I don't really understand this. If there is data in the MIDI tracks, it is already recorded. To get the audio from the soft synths, you can Freeze the tracks of Bounce the tracks or export the tracks. Maybe it's something new in CbB that I haven't heard of? Or something old in CbB I've never heard of. ?

It's probably available somewhere. In 2002, I was wanting to get back into recording, so I bought guitars, a keyboard (with drum patches), a microphone and a TASCAM Portastudio tape recorder. Going to do it the old-fashioned way. But my brother the programmer kept telling me to get into computer recording instead. He said it would be easier and I'd be able to do more. I resisted, mainly because I was a new computer user at that time. We went to Circuit City and I found a copy of Cakewalk's Music Creator 2003, which was MC 2 with a MIDI-to-gameport connector, for $50. I bought it and my brother gave me that book. I haven't looked back.

I have never read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" nor seen any of the iterations on film or television, until yesterday. Now I know where Slartibartfast got his handle. The things we learn. Well, as long as you're still learning, you're not dead. Oh, there was music in the movie, too.

Wait a minute. Wasn't he... Isn't he... shouldn't all Tony Iommi guitars be left-handed? I'm so confused. ?

Steal This Book! Apologies to Abbie Hoffman. And Craig A.

Or does it stop where the 'Now' line is in your image? What happens if you drag the clip to the 2nd or 3rd measure instead of the first? What sound card or audio interface are you using? Is it a Simple Instrument Track? I think it must be since there is only one track. Try inserting the SI Drums synth not as a Simple Instrument Track but with a MIDI track and a soft synth track. Drag the clip into the MIDI track. I just tried what you're doing; a simple instrument track with SI Drums and the "Clean" clip dragged in from SI Drum's browser. On a pretty off-the-shelf HP computer from 10 years ago using the onboard RealTek sound chip. No problems at all. I also did the separate audio and MIDI tracks, also no problems. Welcome to the forum.

Bapu Am spatial.

Thanks, folks. Her mother/my room mate is taking it very hard. Jami's husband and her kids were going to drive out to Cape Hatteras tomorrow and scatter her ashes from atop the Hatteras lighthouse. Jami had a fondness for lighthouses. Just discovered that it is closed until sometime in October. @Tim Smith My friend Sean died in December from the same disease at the age of 50. Hoping for a better outcome for your friend.

On a previous computer, sometimes the mouse would make noise that wasn't in the mixdown/export.

Jami didn't make it. She died Friday night. She never got any better after the previous happy posts, and the cancer spread even while she was on chemo. She made the decision to stop the treatment so she could enjoy the days she had left. Another music lover gone.

You can add chord diagrams, it just can't be done automatically.

Well, you are over 6 feet tall.

What are your nudge settings? Sometimes they are so small that you can't see the movement, but clicking several times you will see it. Try this: check a clip's start time in properties. Do the nudge. Check the clip's start time again. Is it different?

I have my keyboard (MX49) set up in my bedroom studio so I can easily start playing/recording without having to set it up. A few months ago, my room mate/landlady acquired a new kitten. It's been a good cat, mostly, but the other day I woke up smelling... something. Rolled out of bed and pulled on my socks, and they were wet, and smelling like... something. Investigating further, I saw liquid dripping from my keyboard to the floor. I had the foam packaging bag that came with the piano covering it, so the keyboard itself didn't get wet, thankfully. So I banished the cat from my room and ordered a soft case from GC so I can safely store the 'board in my closet, knowing that the cat would eventually find its way back into the room. Got the email stating that the package would be delivered the next day (Saturday). I was watching some baseball on TV and heard the distinctive sound of a UPS truck coming down the street. I walked to my studio and watched the guy pull up in front of my across-the-street neighbor's house, get out with a box approximately the size of a 49-key soft case, and drop it off on my neighbor's front porch. Her address is 2225. Mine is 2228. I looked at the label and it was 2228. The guy walked right by the address on the front of her porch in order to place it on her porch and then walked away with a smile on his face. I suppose he could just need glasses, but that would only help if he could actually read. In any case (see what I did there?) everything turned out fine; the Yamaha is protected, the socks have been washed and the cat has been scolded.

Select the clip; then at the top, Process>Apply Effect>Reverse.

Probably deemed too political. IBTD.

Shazam!
