Mmmh, there is something strange happening. I attach the file gt.ini (Boss GT1000 asio driver) and the midas.ini (Midas VeniceF 16 asio driver). If I copy the file in %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Sonar\ the relevant INI file then it seems to change my asio driver (Boss or Midas). However, using the "backup/restore" feature it seems to change the AUD.INI file too, but (even after restarting Sonar) the audio driver is not changed. I have to investigate a bit.... Thanks, Giorgio gt.INI midas.INI

Hi there, this feature seems really useful, however I tried to change my audio configuration (using a different asio driver) and tried to save the setting before and after. In my system it seems that the asio driver "saved" in the configuration is not saved (or not loaded... I don't know). Can someone try the same thing and verify if there is problem is there? Thanks, Giorgio

I tried to load your file (using Sonar): in normal mode it crashes, in safe mode it loads. There are plugings that I don't have insalled in this project, anyway. Regards, Giorgio

Hi, could it be that while you record your voice (and the metronome is on) the metronome itself is recorded inside the track along with your voice? Try to create an empty project and record your voice for a short time (with the metronome on while recording). Then check if the metronome sound have been recorded too inside the voice track. It could be that your USB Mixer is "mixing" your voice and the metronome and sends all this to the DAW in the input channel. Regards, Giorgio

I noticed that TTS-1 will be no longer installed in the future. Would it be possible to copy the TTS-1 folder from C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi (for a future installation) and follow the instructions found in this page? Thanks, Giorgio

Mmmm, the track manager is set to "custom". Try setting it to ALL. Now you will also see the midi channel that you are using to transmit midi data. Try to change it (from 1 to 16). Other suggestion: please check that into Preferences, Midi, Control Surface the "Portable Grand" is NOT enabled. Giorgio

As far as I can see your track n. 3 is routing to Cakewalk... (maybe TTS1?). Try to set the output to Portable Grand instead and the midi data will go there (back to your piano). Regards, Giorgio

Hi Frank. if your keyboard is connected with the usb cable to the computer, then you should install the yamaha's midi driver. Then, in Cbb preferences, you should find and activate both midi in and out. Beside that, your keyboard has the Local On/Off setting (see your keyboard's manual). Local off means that the keyboard transmits midi data but does not play itself while in Local on mode it transmits midi data and plays too (no vst required for this scenario). I suggest to check those details. Regards, Giorgio

The midi track, once recorded, should go to a phisical midi output in (in the track, check where the output is going). That output should be connected to the midi IN of your keyboard. If the keyboard is only connected via usb, check into the preferences in Cbb in the midi section and activate the usb yamaha midi output, then set the track to that midi output. Regards, Giorgio

As far as I know, in Piano Roll View if you move a note holding SHIFT, the note will be moved changing its pitch and preserving the position. However I didn't understood exactly the problem you are describing. Regards, Giorgio

If you downloaded the driver from Korg you should be able to use the synth as an audio device. I think that this will cause the problem that you will not be able to use the "other" audio card that you usually use at the same time. Anyway, maybe, you could use the Korg as audio card just once, and creating an audio track you should be able to capture its sound. Once recorded the track you could then switch to your regular audio driver. Am I wrong? bye, Giorgio

There should be more ways, but why not to route those tracks into a dedicated bus, and put just one envelope there? Giorgio

If you want, you can check the "view" menu and choose Synth Rack View. Now you have all the VSTI shown there.

Dear Brian, are you using a Presonus 24C? If yes, look at the front panel of your audio card and turn the MIXER knob totally to the right (it says Playback). Now you won't be able to hear your guitar while you are playing - that's ok. Now create an empty project in Cakewalk Bandlab and insert 1 audio track. If you arm the track (engaging the red "record" button) you will see the vu-meter working while you play, but still you will not hear anything (it's ok). Finally, close to the record button you will find the Input Echo button. Engage it and now you will hear your guitar with a little latency. You can now insert all the FX you want and everything should work. Bye, Giorgio

Hi, as far as I know, no. The phase button changes the phase of the signal but not the waveform. You can easily hear the difference so you know that the phase has been changed... Regards, Giorgio

I remember the Norton Commander!!! eheheh

I had a problem with some (not all) very old projects, and Cakewalk Bandlab refused to open them. Then I tried using an old Sonar installation on a different computer (32 bit), and it loaded the projects, so I saved the songs again and now all those songs seems ok. Regards, Giorgio

Project templates should be in: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates and track templates in: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Track Templates You can check those folders.... Regards, Giorgio

Hi Joel, I don't understand exactly what is happening, but I suggest to create an empty project, then insert an audio file into a track and verify that you can hear it during playback. Hoping that this will work, then we are sure that the system is working, so you can try with a VST instrument. Regards, Giorgio

Hi, in Piano Roll view, select View, Show/Hide track pane. You will see on the right all midi tracks and you can choose then the track you want to see. Bye

Did you checked if the file indicated (in drive D) is still there, in the same path?

I have the same UR22mk2. I suggest to download and install the drivers from the manufacturer (https://o.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads_hardware/downloads_ur22mk2.html) and then to use Cakwalk in Asio mode. Regards, Giorgio

Try to check the power management in Windows and set it as full power... Maybe it will not disconect anymore... Giorgio

Check if the midi in/out is assigned to a control surface. Regards, Giorgio

Yes, in my experience...
