AD2 has a more complex map, but in the AD2 options (IIRC is the ? in the upper right of the GUI, going off memory here), there is an option to use the common GM map. That should resolve it. Just be sure you also have AD2 loaded with a kit in a traditional manner. Another option (more convoluted) is in the PRV, you can run the mouse up and down the keys on the left to find things. To move pieces to the correct kit piece, you can click a key (MIDI note) on the left to highlight all notes on that kit piece then Shift-drag (to preserve timing) that selection to the proper kit piece (each piece should each fire as you move that row so you can here what piece you are currently on).

Dimension Pro not showing up on WIN 11 computer
mettelus replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yes, I used a simple junction to point to my Multisamples directory on another drive. You probably need to hit F5 on the DP browser when first opened to refresh the program list. Is the (64-bit) 1.5 version running/registered for you now? -
In addition to the above, volume automation is all you would need. When set to -inf, that is "mute." Keep things simple and just work with automated volume. @57Gregy's recommendation is even simpler (no need to mute things that are not there).

Dimension Pro not showing up on WIN 11 computer
mettelus replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
After looking this up again, there did seem to be a conflict with installing DimPro 1.5 over the version included with SONAR 8.5. This link walks through the clean uninstall of that older version (some regedit work to this). You may want to go that route, then walk through an install of whichever 1.5 version you prefer. Quick side note to the above... the MASSIVE amount of the DimPro download is the Multisamples directory (roughly 3GB). Prior to doing the above uninstall, I would copy that entire Multisamples folder to a safe place. The actual DimPro application is only ~30MB (no samples included). If you have a(ny) CCC download already, you can use 7-zip (or similar) to extract that app installer from the 3GB download (is the top-level file), run that installer, then move the Multisamples folder back. You will also need to hit F5 to refresh the browser directory so it can see the programs to complete. There were issues over the years of some samples/programs being bad, so having a backup of a properly reconstructed Multisamples folder is highly advised. -

Try simply installing the CCC version over what you have first. Most installers verify files as they go, so it should make the installation "whole" as it goes. -
How to freeze/bounce individual tracks in a soft synth
mettelus replied to GBTBassist's topic in Instruments & Effects
+1 to this, definitely check it out to convince yourself. You can test it by loading as many Kontakt instances as you have instruments (sans loading the samples) and see what the Windows Performance Monitor is telling you for having multiple (empty) instances of Kontakt enabled. -
OBS Studio is a free option to get loopback capability at a system level. It is a bit of a pain to get familiar with at first, but it does expose audio/video feeds to other apps. Or you can capture system audio/video with it and import that into a DAW/video editor for post-processing (that option may be simpler for you, depending on what your needs are). Quick edit: Also depending on your source, there are apps to simply download media from urls (e.g., YouTube) and bypass the "real-time" recording. Again, that depends on what exactly you want the audio from.

Have you tried installing it via the Cakewalk Command Center? For legacy products that you registered, that is probably the easiest way to install those legacy apps. -
I had this happen and think the "solution" was an odd one. I needed to have both Native Access and the iZotope Product Portal logged into for the issue to reset for me. It seems those two apps are linked in some fashion, so the Product Portal alone wasn't resolving it. This was shortly after the merger, but may still apply in your case.

No worries, I hope you are feeling better soon!

Get the tempo of a project without opening it
mettelus replied to Heinz Hupfer's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
This made me wonder... @azslow3 knows the construct of CWP files well, so he may have something already made for this. He could probably extract the tempo map from a CWP as well, since static tempos are not always applicable. I forgot offhand who made Project Scope, but it is worth shooting them a PM as well to ask. -
new USB interface - unsure of what settings I need
mettelus replied to Jenna's topic in Instruments & Effects
Something to check real quick... Windows may be doing this to you. In Windows Search Bar, type in "Sound Settings" and at the bottom of that window there is an "Advanced Sound Options" at the bottom, click on the bar right below that. For sanity sake, check the volumes in the next popup (App volume and device preferences). and make sure your device is at 100%. Windows will let other apps adjust those (at a system level), so when things go wonky, that is something to check. -
I have been meaning to submit a feature request, so just tried to post on the their forum, but the post button cleared the page in Firefox with no feedback (I did think ahead enough to copy that first). Ironically, it all fits into that tiny window in the "Feedback" within the app, so at least I got it off to them. Not sure if you re-tint things, but this was the crux of the request (for a "Clone Tinting Mode"): **** I have been using the water color brush for subtle (sometimes more extreme) clone tinting to often Paint/Mix/Blend. Most often this is done with very little opacity and water in the brush. However, to achieve this requires a bit of manual muscle memory (and the second one has bitten me more than once): Diffusion must be paused when doing this so that there is the precision required. When finished, the layer must be specifically dried (Shift-D) so that diffusion doesn't take over. Where this has bitten me is I am zoomed in while working, so if I move to another area and shift the brush (which re-starts diffusion), I do not realize this has happened until too late. My personal experience has been the watercolor brush is ideal for "clone tinting," so the feature request I personally would be to have: A specific "Clone Tinting" option (for me this could be locked to the watercolor brush). When in "Clone Tinting" mode, diffusion would be paused by default. After that initial mode selection, diffusion on/off would be at the discretion of the user, but entering that mode would always pause diffusion initially. When either exiting or changing brushes the layer would be dried. For me, this is more of the safety net, whereby changing brushes would automatically 1) dry the layer and 2) exit "Clone Tinting Mode." A big icon similar to the "Pause Diffusion" on the main work space would also be ultra-helpful. This feature could certainly be expanded in the future to include more brushes/options (other users may have more uses for this). For me, I have been bitten by forgetting to dry the layer, that this would be an immense help.

Escape Motions is having a 40% off "Back-To-School" sale across the entire site for those that are interested (including upgrade pricing I "assume"). All of the products with the exception of Rebelle 7 have been static for years, but Rebelle 7 (Pro) added some significant advancements when it was released last December.

Yeah, I am not sure if Notion has been touched at all since it was absorbed beyond the initial streamlining. Notion 6 has been static for years now.
