Thanks John and Colin and Sjoens for replying. I guess its just one of these quirky things that might never get looked at...

For me, it's always the same, it takes about 60 seconds to load all the themes. I wonder if anyone knows why...

Hi, Whenever I open Preferences-Themes CW takes about 60 seconds or so to bring up the current theme. Is this normal? Every aspect, except this, of CW is completely normal, in fact it runs very speedily on my i7 CPU with 32 GB of RAM and a fast SSD drive. But opening Themes seems to take an excessively long time. Might someone know why? Thanks, Jerry

I know what you mean Bjorn. I keep hoping for a 3rd generation word builder with choir but I don't know of any software publishers that are working on such a project. The word building with the "Hollywood Choirs" (I hate the name so I just credit the choir as East West Choirs) is good, but could stand a lot of improvements. I think if you listened to the recording without seeing the words printed you'd probably not be able to understand many of the words. But that's always been my experience in a church or large hall with choir, unless I know the words by heart and see them printed while listening, I miss a lot of what is being sung, even if it's in my native language of English. Thanks for listening and commenting, much appreciated! Jerry

Thanks treesha for listening and commenting! Jerry

A very short hymn on cultivating an attitude toward death. Part of a collection of Nine Hymns on Spiritual Life, which will be included on my next CD release in the fall of 2022. VSL chamber and solo strings, East West Choirs are the libraries used in this piece. PLAY

Thanks Tom. I probably will never go back and re-do the mix, but even with these "ancient" samples of the mid-1990s, I could have gotten a better balance between the acoustic violin and the digital ensemble. Live and learn.... Jerry

Lovely song, very nice playing too! Thanks, Jerry

Thank you Steve!

Thank Starise, RDB, garybrun and InstrEd for taking the time to listen! Jerry

This movement was produced before sample libraries even existed, so the instruments are primitive compared to what we have available today. But Karen Bentley did such a great job playing the violin part that I am posting it to share. Produced in 1997. Violin Concerto, 3rd movement

Thanks Jack..

I want to do this because when I pin this often-used folder to Quick Access, I can't change the pinned name, which is "user". There are many CW folders that we can move around, in PREFERENCES-FILE-FOLDER LOCATIONS we can change names of some folders and move others to different locations. I actually got it to say Cakewalk Workspaces in the pinned folders (Quick Access) but now I don't know how I got it to work. I bet there's a way, I just don't know what it is. UPDATE: I figured out how to do it: 1. Go to App Data=Roaming-Cakewalk-Cakewalk Core-Lenses. 2. Make a shortcut from the Lenses-User folder on to the desktop. Change this shortcut name to Cakewalk Workspaces. 3. Drag this short cut to the pinned folder on the Explorer folder icon on the taskbar. 4. Move it up or down within the list under Quick Access if you like folders in a certain order. Now, the real folder "user", has the name that CW needs to function, but the name in the pinned list is "Cakewalk Workspaces". That's how to do it without confusing Cakewalk.

This collection of short compositions for the virtual piano is on my album Moon Festival. You can hear it here.

The default name of the folder is "user". If I change the name to "Cakewalk Workspaces" Cakewalk won't recognize the location of my custom workspaces. I want to change the name so that when I use Quick Access in Windows I see "Cakewalk Workspaces" rather than "user". It worked before but now I cannot get it to work. I went into the Registry (I'm fairly familiar with it) to seek out where Cakewalk defines the location for user-created workspaces but cannot find it. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Jerry

Not exactly a pun, but: A guitarist and his wife did not get along well at all. One night, after he had been drinking heavily, she grabbed one of his guitars and hit him over the head. Next, she took his other guitar and whacked him again so hard that he died. But a neighbor heard the commotion and called the police. They came to the house and arrested her. In court, the judge asked her, "First offender"? And she thought for a moment and replied, "No, your honor. First I hit him with the Gibson and then I smacked him with the Fender!" ?

Hi All, My 11 year old CD player died and I have an issue. I have the Argosy Halo desk that has racks on it but the racks are slanted about 50 degrees. The CD player that died had a tray-loading mechanism that was slanted and sometimes the disc wouldn't play without skipping. I am not sure if it was because of the tilt or the fact that the player was old. Does anyone have an experience using a CD player on a tilt? Is slot-loading better than tray loading? Thanks! Jerry

Glad you enjoyed it Antler. Thank you for listening.

Thanks for listening Bjorn!

Thanks Per-Erik!

Thanks for listening 905133 and Gary Brun!

This is a work-in-progress, the 1st movement which I just completed, is here. All instruments are from the VSL Symphonic Cube.. Best, Jerry
