Hi all . . . I'm having an issue with a plugin that doesn't remember the changes within Cakewalk by Bandlab. I've never had a plugin not remember setting changes after saving and re-loading a project, so I'm wondering why. It's a sample pack loaded into Kontakt . . . I tweak some parameters, but whenever I open the project again, it hasn't remembered the changes I made. All my other plugins remember changes no matter how small. I've tried saving a preset within Kontakt, but I can't figure a way for the project to automatically load the plugin preset ? Probably not a Cakewalk or Kontakt issue, maybe just a poorly programmed Kontakt sample pack ? Hard to say. Has anybody run into this issue ? . . . or know of a workaround, as I use this sample pack a lot, and have to document the parameter changes in each project with pen and pencil, so old school.

What can I say, Mr. Emerald . . . it's a clinical explanation of composition, with a jazzy underbelly . . . it's goes uptown, and then it goes downtown. I get pictures of cruising in a really expensive car, yet it's organic and earthy. For me it's got it all, I never lost interest, and wanted more. Please write a sequel. Thank you for the amazing journey. Also, the recording and mixing clarity are top notch. I'm going back for a few more spins on this one.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement regarding my voice, for me it's always been about the songwriting . . . so to hear so many comments here about my voice is very surprising.

. . . since there's a few here who seem to know the Tascam 688 Midstudio pretty well . . . anyone know where you can buy that little motor that makes the wheels all spin on this device ('cause without it, it's just a really great mixer, but no playback or recording) I would love to re-capture some of the stuff I recorded on the 688 back to digital world.

Thanks to everyone for the great and useful feedback ! @ David Sprouse . . . do I do demos for others ? . . . well, I've never been asked, so guess that's a not so far. @ SPAK and cheap_guitar . . . yes, you've explained syncing to Cakewalk very well, stripe a track on the 688 with SMPTE time code and run Cakewalk to receive SMPTE. It always worked great, but yes, now I prefer the way things are all in the Cake box these days as well. @Will . . . I'm hearing what you're hearing, more BASS low end (now that you've suggested it) . . . I'm going to play with that in Ozone 8 in the next few days, thanks ! @James G . . . thank you for the compliment, and Glen Frey is high company indeed. @LadyFuzztail . . . thanks for reinforcing that the mix has some clarity, unfortunately, I'm forced to do a lot of headphone mixing these days, and that has some serious limitations for getting "good" and balanced mixes.

Here's a link to something I worked on "a while ago" Wanted to post this to Noel's thread for Cakewalk by Bandlab efforts, but truth is this was done (I think) in Cakewalk Pro Audio version. The audio tracks were done on cassette and synched through midi to instruments to Cakewalk (Tascam Midi Studio 688). Tried to have a bit of fun re-mastering it all with Ozone 8 and other new tools now available. Let me know if you think it sounds too cassette ? I'm thinking of re-recording it all, so I guess this is just the demo . . . If I can only get those guitar fingers working the same way again ?

I've used Macrium Reflect for a few years now. https://www.macrium.com Highly intuitive and customizable backups and clones. I've also used it to clone my OS to a larger SSD, and I was able to recover some lost data, even individual files, without having to restore a whole drive volume. Good solid British software.

It's true, no pitch, but if Cakewalk can at least get the tempo correct, then Keni's version of Melodyne Editor should be able to use "select all" and adjust up (or down) one cent at a time to find the desired pitch.

Hey Keni . . . as Mr. Sandlin says above . . . inside CakeLab's latest "big" update . . . "élastique Pro time/pitch" should work to do what you're looking for. I must admit I've had some troubles trying to get a larger complicated project to adjust tempo upwards / downwards using élastique, but I'm thinking to adjust one track as you're looking to do should work pretty easy. When they released that update, there was a great thread by Craig Anderton that I found very useful over in the old forum regarding this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Changing-Tempo-of-Entire-Song-with-201809-m3787767.aspx . . . hopefully you'll find it useful for what you're trying to do ? . . . (oh well, just noticed you're there in post #3)

Willard . . . when you say "They show up in the VST manager" . . . I think you're talking about Cakewalk Plugin Manager ? I'm wondering if you ever customized and saved a "Plugin Manu Layout" in the VST manager ? Also, do they still not show up even when you sort the plugin layouts by "Manufacturer" under AAS ?

yup, back to one post, just like a rebirth I guess ? How did "bapu" get his 86,000 + post count back anyway, just don't seem right, think he should be reborn too ?

Okay . . . 'scuse me while I test drive the new forum thing, nothing to see here, just out for a meaningless spin, I'll post something useful when I get used to this new ride, in a bit . . . good to see a lot of familiars have moved here !
