I would suggest checking your task manager and what processes are running!! I woke up last week to CbB maxing out the cpu meters at 100% across the board!! It turned out that after checking the task manager, I found that somehow , Windows had installed an update for a Hewlett-Packard printer that was eating my cpu alive. I had not used the printer in several years, but somehow the HP update was installed and was creating all kinds of chaos!! I deleted the printer software and everything returned to normal!!! Never saw anything like it and can't understand how that update got in there!

Thanks! Checked my folder and already have it! Sorry!! But thanks for your help.

Instructions aren't clear to me! Do I enter FREE in the discount code box? Or do they automatically take off the $139 price after you complete the purchase? My card can't take that big of a mistake!!!

I have a fellow musician who is blind. He has used JAWS for many years! He recently had someone suggest a reader program called NVDA! It's FREE!! https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ He seems to be very enthusiastic about it! Might be worth a try!

Seems like a revamped version of MasterDesk!

I have done commercialy released cds, radio commercial projects, video soundtracks, and on and on with those Rolands and no one has ever said anything about not having pro quality results! I have mastered tracks for a music hall of fame producer and he liked the results so much, he wouldn't use anyone but me to do all his mastering for the past 12 years! Yes, there are more advanced interfaces out there but these things have held their own.

I bought 2 Studio-Captures in 2013 and they worked even synced together with absolutely no problems for about 6 years until they both developed a problem with the power supply boards internally!!! Still have them with the intention of having them repaired but it was cheaper to buy replacement on ebay! It's still purring along with no hiccups!!

Try reducing velocity in certain points, such as, velocity reduced on verses and slightly increased for chorus and middle sections or during solos! This technique can bring a bit more character to the entire song! Try this with all instruments, not just the drums! Dynamics are the very soul of music!

IMO, good call on Surge! I don't actually do a lot of projects using synths in the box, but I have played around with Zeta quite a bit over the years. Surge XT is a beast! BEWARE! There will be quite a learning curve involved but it would be well worth it!

I do fully enjoy some of the new features, but the brightness of the screen makes it hard for my old eyes to withstand! I worked hard, staring at Cakewalk products since the 90s!! I have earned these cataracts and I intend to enjoy them as long as possible!!! Hee-hee!

I'm prepared for the flamethrowers! This gui is butt ugly!!! Can we have some darker themes, PLEASE!!!

BEWARE! Installed it! Liked it very much BUT my very stable computer started getting wonky, freezing, slow response on clicking, some slight delay in pressing play and actually starting, etc.! Uninstalled both V-pan and Codemeter and cleaned the drive, rebooted and all problems are gone! NOTE: UNINSTALLING V-pan DOES NOT GET RID OF CODEMETER! YOU MUST UNINSTALL CODEMETER AS WELL!!!

FWIW, I have an old Asus laying around mainly for just goofing around. It doesn't meet the specs to even install Tonex! I got the A5 update and installed! The first time opening took almost a full minute! I immediately shut A5 down and reopened it. It opened in about 18 seconds! It does so everytime after that first initial opening! Not too bad for an old dinosaur of a desktop! Will be interested to see the results on my studio computer. It was has Tonex on it. Will keep you posted!

The Metal Gems would be installed in users. Would it not?

Question! I have used up my 20 user spots in Tonex CS. As I understand, if I download the Metal Gems it will overwrite and I would lose 4 of my installed user amps possibly!! I have probably 5 or 6 of those spots used up by pedals that I never use. Can I delete those spots and that leave me open to get the Metal Gems without overwriting my other amps? I have the Dumble Collection and do not want to lose those! BTW, I do plan to move from CS to full version asap but money is tight right now.
