I was having problems with 2021.01, so I decided to use the Cakewalk rollback. it didn't work. I got this error message while trying to open CbB, which never opened cakewalk.exe system error code execution can't be found ttslame.dll not found reinstalling program may fix I assume it means to reinstall Lame and not reinstall 2020.11, which I was trying to rollback to. The setup files for 2020.11 are never saved, so I can't reinstall that version. if it's referring to Lame. I don't use the old Cakewalk MP3 converter from about a decade ago, I use a custom version of Lame that's integrated into CbB when I export files.

Noel suggested to always use the official rollback installer if I need to go to a prior build. I've looked all over and can't find it. Any suggestions?

While trying to test a bug in 2021.01, It was suggested that I reinstall CbB since I may have a faulty install. I didn't see an obvious way of doing this without first uninstllling 2021.01 and then reinstalling it. When I did this, somehow it deleted all my Export Audio presets and Bounce to clips presets. Where are these files stored? I can revert to a previous image file of my C drive to find them or I can look in my Deleted files folder that saves all files that were deleted. I also have quite a few older versions of CbB that I can run using Launchpad, but those older versions don't have these lost presets either. I wondering what else I may have lost by uninstalling. Any help will be appreciated

Can I copy leading or trailing MIDI notes that overlap the selection?
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I would be nice if our cut, copy, and paste function had this feature that Arranger has: "set the Overlap Threshold to 1/16 and copy a section with overlapping notes by using Ctrl+Shift+Mouse drag," -

gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Man it's good it was a test project. If I ever try to use it, I'll rename the cwp, so I don't lose anything. Either Arranger is buggy or we need help in understanding how to use it -
Can I copy leading or trailing MIDI notes that overlap the selection?
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I love the ripple editing. It's a huge addition. I guess using the 1/16 or 1/32 before the spot it'll be good especially if I set the nudge to 1/32. Then it's easier to find the beginning spot and find the target. I think I'll try that next time. I just installed the new 2021.01 update last night, it lists several improvement to the Arranger. Maybe it'll work better for you. I hope some one else replies that has had success with it. -
I saw this feature in 2021.01 "Arranger section inclusion of outlying MIDI notes. When dragging sections or committing arrangements, Cakewalk has logic for dealing with leading/trailing MIDI notes that overlap section boundaries." Sometimes I want to copy a midi piano from Verse 2 to Verse 1. If it starts on or near the downbeat of the selection, I quantize beat 1 so the piano is exactly on beat 1, because if I don't and the piano starts even 1 click before beat 1 it won't copy. Apparently the Arranger feature solves this. I've never used the Arranger, so I'm not sure if I should try to use this in this situation or if there's a way to copy a piano track with leading/trailing MIDI notes that overlap the selection boundaries and paste it to Verse 1.

How to send an exact copy of an audio CD over the internet
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
When I found out I couldn't use an ISO file I thought like you that Nero could problem do it and I could send the client my free copy of Nero for him to install along with the Nero file. I noticed your file was a NRA file. That sounds more like audio. Here's maybe part of the problem, I used CD Architect to create my original CD I then uploaded it to Oasis CD Duplicator and created a test CD. I first put the test CD in Nero and chose "Copy CD" it then created an .NRG file in my E:\My Documents folder. I then copied the NRG file to a different computer in E:\My Documents folder. I Opened the NRG file in Nero and everything looked ok until I hit "Burn" then instead of prompting for a CD I got this "Save Image As" window. My situation is different from what you outlined, because I'm forced to burn the test CD from Oasis. Weird things can happen with an upload due to the internet and various computer problems, so I felt he needed to check out the test CD not my original. I do have a 2nd CD to do with him, so do you think Nero would work in my situation? -
How to send an exact copy of an audio CD over the internet
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I was certain that exactly how I could do it, until I tried and then started reading articles saying that an audio CD is different from a data CD and the ISO image won't work. If you've successfully done this let me know. Maybe there is a specialized ISO that will work with audio. -
How to send an exact copy of an audio CD over the internet
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I'm not wanting him to get separate wav files from a zip file, I wanted to send him 1 file like a ISO that he could easily burn an exact copy of the audio test CD from the upload I did to the CD duplicator -
How to send an exact copy of an audio CD over the internet
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I sent him the wav files with wetransfer and walked him through the upload and he burned the test CD. I'm surprised there's no ISO type file for audio CDs. DDP is what the duplicator uses, but they didn't have any solutions for getting the client a file to burn the test CD -
How to send an exact copy of an audio CD over the internet
gmp posted a topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I've done a CD project for a client and we're trying to save time by uploading to the duplicator. I uploaded it and made a test CD of the upload and thought I could just make an ISO copy of it, send it to him and he could burn an audio CD from that. But ISO files don't work for audio CD's. Does anyone know how I can send him the exact copy of the test CD? -
Sometimes a dark gray selection is following my mouse
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I just tried Aim Assist and couldn't get it to do it. So I think it's something else that's causing this. The selection is following my mouse curser with no buttons pressed down. If I hold my left button down, I can get the selection to follow my curser. Maybe my left button is sticking. If any one has any clues about this, or has experienced this, please chime in. -
Sometimes a dark gray selection is following my mouse
gmp replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I'll try that next time. I can see how easy it is to accidently press X. I think I'll disable that shortcut for X. I never use aim assist. Thanks -
For a long time I've been seeing some strange behavior In the clip pane if you left click and drag the mouse from the top to the bottom and then to the right or left you have a dark gray selection. But sometimes I have a dark gray selection follow my mouse without me dragging. I think if I click somewhere in the clip pane I can get it to stop. To me this is a strange quirk or bug, maybe it's a feature, but I don't like it. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks John, that's sure a good cheap solution I can pass on to some of my other clients. It turns out this guy does have a decent mic and a Focusrite interface. He called it a Focusrite Fate, but I must have misunderstood him. I didn't find that one. But regardless I know Focusrite is a good product so he should be in good shape.

It turns out he does have a decent mic and a Focusrite interface. He called it a Focusrite Fate, but I must have misunderstood him. I didn't find that one. But regardless I know Focusrite is a good product so he should be in good shape. On my DAW I do use my Realtec audio to playback Win Media player. It's very convenient and doesn't cause conflict with my AVB audio interface. And the playback quality seems fine. I agree about the mic inputs. I'm so glad he has the Focusrite that should do it and that eliminates the possibly of syncing issues and not needed ASIO4all or WASAPI Thanks everyone for the excellent help and suggestions

I have a Singer/Songwriter who has a laptop which is 1.5 years old with a Celeron processor + 4 gigs of RAM and onboard Realtec audio. He installed Cakewalk. All he wants to do is to import my stereo music track and record a few vocals. I know it's not great quality, but will this work?
-
I have Melodyne assistant, but still prefer to use V-Vocal. For me to prevent it from crashing, I have to disconnect all soft synths. Then save and close the file and double click the file to reopen it. You can't go from one file to the V-Vocal file, you must close CbB first then reopen it by double clicking the file. Doing this seems to clear out the RAM. Once I do that V-Vocal never crashes. It seems to have something to do with RAM. My template with the soft synths uses 3.5 gigs of RAM. After I tune a clip I bounce it to track to eliminate V-Vocal. I only work in small clips and it never crashes working this way with CbB.

Check my original top post and try the test I outlined and let us know if it works for you. I don't think It has anything to do with drive access, since I can set up a new song with those sorts of different HD's in the box. It's only when I want to change this after the song is created.
-
I've been using the same sort of audio path's as you have, using different HD's. Sonar didn't have this problem. Wish they'd fix it.

TTS-1 Works In Old Projects But Crashes New Ones.
gmp replied to mdiemer's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
You say "if I delete some of the instruments". Do you mean you delete all the soft synths or some? Or delete other TS-1's? What exactly are you deleting? -
TTS-1 Works In Old Projects But Crashes New Ones.
gmp replied to mdiemer's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hey abacab thanks for the old Cakewalk account link. I assumed after 2 years of CbB, it would not work anymore. I know Noel said we'd have access to that for a while but couldn't say how long. I hope it's permanent. Although it's doubtful I'd need it since I have downloaded the files on a regular basis over the years and still have all my CD's and DVD's, since 1992. It's still very good for all the users in case they need something. With my initial problems with TTS-1, I was wondering if I needed to download something, but I've got it working fine now. My suspicion is since the crash was happening as soon as you'd hit a midi note on your keyboard that it had something to do with the settings on the midi track, most likely the midi input. -
TTS-1 Works In Old Projects But Crashes New Ones.
gmp replied to mdiemer's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Thanks for the detailed post. I checked plugin manager to see what DLL I was using and the only one that's in the 64 bit shared DXi folder is the latest one 2018 like you have. I then loaded the default normal template from 2017 and TTS-1 works fine with that. Then I tried again the song I wanted the TTS-1 on and this time it worked - no crash. This is surprising after 2 crashes in a row and all the other posts of the same crash problem. So it appears there's something a little quirky about this plugin. For my future reference I documented the steps I took to get it to work. Possibly this will help someone else in the future. Some of this is unique to my setup like the MOTU midi interface and the Ivory output OPEN TTS-1 IN SYNTH RACK CHOOSE DEFAULTS GO TO AUDIO TRACK AND CHOOSE IVORY OUTPUT GO TO MIDI TRACK AND CHOOSE MOTU MIDI AND CHANNEL - 1-TTS 1 OPEN TTS-1 WINDOW CHOOSE PRESET PUT ACTIVE TRACK ON MIDI TRACK - PLAY So Craig Anderton, I don't need the DX wrapper. maybe it's already being used by CbB. I've rarely used this plugin, but after that endorsement by Craig, I'll definitely check it out more. -

gmp replied to mdiemer's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I'm not sure what you mean by "only send it through one or two audio FX plug-ins and one or two spectrum analysis plug-ins" What I've tried is to open the Synth rack and hit the + button and add the TTS-1. I can then change the preset, but as soon as I hit a note on my keyboard it crashes. Others have reported the exact same thing in this thread with no solution. If you can outline what steps you take to make this work I'd appreciate it
