Define excessive. I like lots of options but recognize we could get in a situation where things stop working and figuring it out is overwhelming. But I don't know what excessive is.

I really like the Sonitus reverb but it will go all goofy at times especially if you change a setting while playing. For DX plugins they otherwise work well.

No, just injecting some levity (tm). I'm the guy that posts a question asking where the Play button is. SCook and msmcleod always come through except for the beer part. Seriously, I took your comments as positive in that (I think) I asked a questions that others have pondered. Not sure why the thumbs down but maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Without faces, words only do half the job and with faces, words get overworked.

It's hard work being this stupid but someone has to do it.

Thanks guys. What I was missing is that I could use a synth output as an input to a audio track rather than needing a simple instrument or midi. In hindsight I had already done this but it escaped me.

It's just so crazy it worked!!!!!!! Thanks as always. And I noticed that all of the synth outputs available (if you did track per output or simple) are all there. Never noticed that before. Like a lot of things ...

I'm sure this is answered on the first page of the manual but ... Is there a way to add tracks to a soft synth outputs after inserting it as a Simple Instrument Track but switching it to multiple outputs? Scenario using EzDrummer: 1. Insert EzDrummer as a Simple Instrument Track. You get one track. 2. Go into the Mixer and change the Kick output from 1 to 2 . 3. How to I create a track that is now listening to that number 2 output? Right now I insert a new Ez Drummer with an Instrument Track per output and then copy over the patterns. Is there another way? I played with Insert Multiple Track using the Midi section but none appear to be pointed to the EzDrummers second output. Am I missing something?

Cakewalk for Windows white. ;0

I got the opportunity to hang out with Mike Pinder several times trying to help him solve a digital recording issue. We got to talking about the recording techniques of the Moody Blue, mixes, etc. On this topic he did say was that Hayward's guitar was often recorded at extreme volume levels to the point that being in the room with the amps was painful. But the sound was great!

And never mind again! What I would give for a truly white theme ...

Ah ha! See I tried finding Select in the shortcuts some time back and couldn't find it. I assumed it wasn't available. A quick look in Global and there it was. Thanks guys for helping. It saves a lot of motion. You can formally remove my demand.

Minor request. It would be nice to be able to filter the Event View directly from that window. Yeah, I know I can click on View->Select but it would be nice to have it directly on the Event View.

Yes, I'm seeing it too. If I try to run buffers under1024 I risk the audio engine generating tons of static noise just sitting idle. During playback it will dropout or generate the static like its a feedback loop. Nothing has changed in settings or Cakewalk as far as I know. Only the new Windows updates. No wifi, no conflicting audio devices, no mismatched audio bit/depth settings, no other programs running, no new plugins, no ASIO driver changes. The latency monitor says everything is fine but I haven't been able to run it while its generating the static. Sometimes it just stops. Rebooting doesn't fix it. At times it will be fine for an hour with smaller buffers and then go south. During record, I can still set the buffers to 64 and be OK with FX off. 32 will work if the project is simple with few effects. But playback now needs large buffers. I am certainly a VST hog and it could be Windows and that colliding now but it's worked for a long time. At this point I might play with some Cakewalk setting to see if it helps.

I don't believe Linux or any Unix clone has the libraries and controls readily available to just "recompile it."

Are you using Delete Special with the remove hole box checked?

Wow, I still have my 505 that I used with my Pad5. I should dig that stuff out. D110, S330, VP70 among other stuff.

So think of it as GM's drunk uncle.

In fact, MIDI 1.0 could do it.

Share.

It is if you believe ...

Also look for the free Munt Roland MT-32 VST. He did a great job of emulating the MT-32 and undid the 14/15 bit limitations of the original hardware.

Well what ever happened, it works now. I did a CTRL-A and then changed one of the tracks from Volume to Clips. Only that track changed. Did it again, same thing. Shutdown the program, restarted, same thing. Rebooted, works fine. It's a conspiracy I tell you! The CTRL-A and change one was my obvious thing to try but when it didn't work I thought it was something else. Thanks again! The more I read this the more I think that might be why it wasn't working.

Hi Bristol "Jonesey" (if that's your real name ;)) Maybe I'm not being clear. From the Track View, I want to switch all tracks to Clips vs. Volume, Pan, etc. Assume I have 45 tracks and want to switch the focus of all 45 to Clips. I don't see a CTRL-Event filter doing that.

I searched the manual and didn't find anything on this. Is there a shortcut to switch all tracks to Clip? I was thinking also for automation but some tracks might not have a particular control like reverb. But a global switch to Clips would be nice.
