Never mind. Wishful thinking.

Moved to V-Vocal thread. The comment about reducing the size of the region to stop Vocal Sync from crashing got me thinking about V-Vocal crashes.

Click on the pin at the top right of the plug-in. It will stay. I use that a lot.

I've brought this issue up to both the VST developers and CbB. Both claim they do it right to allow the patch names to appear, but they don't.

Make a V-Vocal region and lower the formant. You can change the pitch too if you like but slightly lowing the formant alone might do what you want.

Is this a non-supported language?

I never have either but I thought it was a notification at the top of the page, not an email. I get the top of the page notifications.

I turn off all effects (highlight FX), turn on PDC (highlighted) and set the buffer down to 128 or 256. At that point the delay is not noticeable but my system sometimes starts going static at 128. 256 is good enough for me. Considering how slow MIDI really is, it's disappointing that you have to defeat so many thing to get it to pass from the keyboard/controller to Cakewalk without taking seconds (ok, it's less than a second with effects turned on. no PDC and a larger buffer.) It's a Windows issue. DOS didn't have this issue even with the generally slow MIDI data rate and opto-isolater delays.

I would like a global flag I could set for "always undocked." I too still have to undock all of the time. I know I can do some workspace changes but it would be nice to know things will be always be undocked.

I have Cool Edit available via Scook's tool just for this purpose. Good for noise reduction too.

I was wondering about this!

When I open certain files, a box pops up with the message. I close it and the file opens. It appears that resaving fixes it. I'll give this a try. I can't really predict or associate it with anything specific.

I see this periodically loading some older project files. Any guess what it means?

Ok!

Is this Cakewalk Error 5 or the ever popular Windows c00000005 memory access error?

I like it and I have Xpand!2 too. TTS just has some very useful sounds. I am not alone in these crash issues. Again, do it early.

I've learn something about TTS and V-Vocal. Add TTS early in the project and as many instances as you think you will need and do your V-Vocal tweaks before you start building up the track with effects. Otherwise, it's crash city with no fix in sight. I've learn - don't expect to add TTS or use V-Vocal late in the project. Grief will ensue. If I have a project that I've built up with a lot of tracks and effects, I have to copy the audio to a new project to get V-Vocal to not crash. I usually copy one instrument track with the audio so I have a pitch reference. I've spent countless hours with problem projects trying to figure out what is going on. I've started deleting effects, freezing tracks, merging tracks and nothing works. I've play with just about every setting, switched audio interfaces, different PC's, slaughtered a goat, nothing works. Once either TTS or V-Vocal decide to not work, they will never work in that project no matter how much you delete/remove/change/pray/dance ...

I suspect CbB fixed some feature that I had gotten used to how it worked broken. Before, once undocked, always undocked. Not so now. I need to read the manual more in case there is a setting that means "Always docked."

Now that you mention it, the console would open back up on the second monitor in the past, but now everything is always docked ... I'll check a bit more.

Well ... Windows update 2004 fixed this. I give up! LOL!

Perfect! Does Zoom support stereo? Skype doesn't.

I didn't even try to select more than one before. This is what I was looking for. Thanks! It would be cool to have a way to save all of this floobydust at one time ...

I originally posted this in the Early Access 05/20 thread since I first saw it after I installed it but after rolling it back, the issue is still here. It's not related to EA05. I can't change the CPU Meter Option in the Performance module. I can right click on the module, go to the CPU Meter pull-down and see all threee options (Audio/System/Overall) but selecting System or Overall doesn't. Audio Processing stays checked. Is there some other setting that can lock the CPU Meter option? On a side note, I also lost the Audio Processing/Engine Load/Later Buffers dialog when you hover over the Performance module but determined it went away because I de-selected Tool Tips in the Preferences (weird, but it does that.) Tool Tips must be selected to see that dialog.

Not sure if this is related to the 05 EA but I can't change the Performance/CPU meter settings. It's always stuck on Audio Processing. I can't select Overall or App. Also. The drop-down shows them but no matter what I select it stays on Audio Processing. I also don't see the dropout information if I hover over the CPU meter. Did I lock these settings somewhere? Edit: I rolled back and it still doesn't work so it's not EA 05. Edit 2: Changing the CPU meeting setting still doesn't work but I found Tool Tips needs to be enabled to get the Audio Processing, Engine Load, Buffer bubble to show up. It's shouldn't work that way. There is nothing intuitive between Tool Tips and the Performance bubble.

Is there a single location for saved plug-in presets? I noticed when reinstalled CbB none of the presets were there. I had a lot of compressor, eq presets created. I was able to recreate many by loading the associated song file and resaving them but being able to save them for a reinstall would be nice.
