Wow Keni!! What a great gift.  So who will you gift your old computer to????

You think as we do.

I have a downlink chain. This is the 5th machine my friend has gifted me. They then proceed to other friends he and I have in common who have less demanding needs than I and he in turn passes his old until it becomes a machine none of us need. The last person does as pleases at that point.

All that does is take up Control Bar space. 

Yes, but luckily (?) I re-counted. Dual 12 core, not 16 do it's only taking up the space of 24 cores!

edit:

back on the ground. I believe only a single xeon 12 core but Cake is displaying the  multithreads turning the 12 into 24?

A bit of confusion as my older DAW has 2 xeon 6 cores for 12 total. I was surprised by Cake displaying threads as well...

That said, I would suggest to Keni that you make your topic title something like "Installing on dual boot Mac Pro" or something. As it is, it just looks like you're having issues with a vanilla install. I believe that there are others here on the forum who have gotten Cakewalk to work on dual boot Macs.

And dang, Keni, that is one nice setup to be gifted. I would rock the snot out of a Mac like that! Once you do get Cakewalk to work, mmm, dual Cinema displays, 16 cores....

big surprise ? just found out it's a dual xeon 16 core! It's showing 32 cores in Cake!

Naw man, I'm a relative newcomer. Used SONAR for a couple of years right when it transitioned from Pro Audio to SONAR, then not until Cakewalk by BandLab.

Let's see what Wikipedia says....according to the Cakewalk, Inc. entry, 2008-2013.

BandLab have been in charge of the software longer than any other parent company since Twelve Tone Systems. Even the Gibson period is ancient history in computer years. We're coming up on the 5th anniversary of the first issue of Cakewalk by BandLab in a couple of weeks.

BTW, on "Livin' In The Wind," is that a real Hammond, a hardware emulation or a soft synth? You got a great sound with it. My current go-to for Hammond sounds is AIR DB-33, but it sounds kind of brittle. I used to have an M3, but sold it because I wasn't playing it.

yeah ... I'm  a real old timer dating back to cakewalk for windows in the early midi sequencer days.

The Hammond ! One of my favorites. A very early entry from ikmultimedia. the B4! I use it in nearly everything !

Thanks Erik...

I'm really not worried . Probably would attract more people. I'm just feeling anxious and elated .

I was gifted this amazing machine 2 weeks ago and have been learning and remembering things as I  go .

I haven't  done this involved a  build in more than a decade . I'm trying to remember which versions came with anything  important to me . Today I wiped the mac drive , installed monterey, installed win10 pro on a partition and now building a new Cake DAW. long way to go , but today was the major hurdles.

Note that though older (2010) the machine I've been using is no slouch. An earlier gift from the same generous friend. mac pro dual xeon 6 cores running at 2.93 with 64GB RAM, but trapped (comfortably)  at win 8.1. I'm finally @Win10 now that the world is moving to Win11!

Do you remember which years were the Roland years?

...edit Never mind . those versions  are no longer  available . Yet another reason to keep my old DAW running

Wow!

Going a bit nuts here.

I was gifted a used mac pro 2013 (trashcan) fully maxed out with dual apple cinema 27” displays.  Xeon 16 core @2.97GHz 128GB RAM

Problems galore! Im downloading and installing old sonar x1,2,3 and Platinum as well as a number of others to retain all the gadgetry before installing Cakewalk by Bandlad (hopefully in this lifetime) after weeks of work getting this machine dual bootable!

1st problem x1 won’t open. I did notice the regsvr failing. But I’m gonna pound away at all the old installations even if they don’t work. The only one I use/want is the Bandlab version!

Any tips, warning, help of any kind would be greatly appreciated!

It's been a very long time since I ventured into a build such as this!

Wayne Shorter passed today. Best to family and friends. Amazing musician.

Oh my!

I'm very sad. I will miss him as I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember.

I saw/heard him with Weather Report a few times as well as his own band more recently.

The most brilliant soprano sax player I’ve ever heard. His music has influenced millions!

❤️

I’m thinking maybe midi channel assignment needs to be specific? Do the tracks have a specific midi channel assigned?

...also thinking, there are patch change enabkes in most instruments. Maybe it got accidentally changed?

Did the settings contain the correct path to your song files?

...now if there was only some way of saving the actual bitrate settings!

I'm pleased and impressed.

I own a number of their' devices and love the sound and feel... But I have continually had so much latency from these plugins that I rarely got to use them.

I just installed the latest updates on all of them and every one of them is running 400% better as far as latency on my system. Previously I had to raise the latency to 1024 to be able to use them and now they're all running clean as a whistle at 256. I have been running at 128, but I can leave it at 256 for general and drop to 128 when necessary.

Wow! I'm so relieved. I've been so itching to use these more often. I own:

Voltage Modular

CA2600

Eight Voice

Memorymode

Stardust 201

Uh-Oh... Let's temper that a bit. Memeorymode (hungriest) still gripes a bit at 256, but still far better than before where it was useless below 1024

Sure enough...

That was a correct guess. The comment field had text in the Browser so opening the mp3 options dialog would be over-written...

All is well in KeniLand...

Thanks again Mark!

One way I guess is if you save that sentence in your default template, it should be picked up by any new project made based on that template.

Thanks Mark,

That's what I tried, but closing Cake, re-opening the project and the edited info is back to it’s original instead of saved.

One thing came to mind just before seeing your reply that I will verify tomorrow (system down for night).

I know it picks up song title etc. from anything typed in the Browser. I mean to double check to see if the comment field is represented there as it would logically overwrite the info in the mp3 dialogue.

I will post after looking in the am...

I know I've been through this before... but it has not been reliable for a long time...

I have a few options that I continue to use regularly and must always click through them. No way to save my selections... But the text areas? OK, Using the Browser I can maintain info for the  Song specific info, but the comments area? I have a default sentence there that works for all my personal stuff and has been fine up until now. I can't seem to get it to remember an update to the comment (change of year). I've done this every year prior, but not since the new export dialoge and now I can't seem to get it to remember the change.

What am I forgetting this time? Anybody?

Thanks!

I am not even a guitarist, and Jeff has been an inspiration for me most of my life. He could play anything, in any style, knew when to show off and when to back off. He and Tal Wilkenfeld were such a great duo.

I’m devastated.

A brilliant artist on any instrument/medium ignite inspiration everywhere!

 I’m re-watching Ronnie Scott's for the hundredth (or more) time. Brilliant performances by Jeff and all three of his band mates and other friends.

He's been a major influence and inspiration for me since the Yardbirds days!

I am pretty sure you can have multiple articulations but they have to not be dependent. When you create the articulation maps you specify which ones are exclusive and which ones can be independent by creating different group,.

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.51.html

Thanks again for the lead!

Ha! I see I can duplicate an existing map and then using each map selected separately, I have managed two simultaneous articulations.. Not sure this was the best solution as I have barely scratched the surface here, but I am getting two on screen simultaneously. A bit uncertain how I made it happen ? So I've got some more learning to do but I'm on track and grateful...

---Edit---

A note here as I'm learning this. Different groups doesn't seem to allow simultaneous multiple articulations. I must use separate maps and I can add  numerous articulations simply by duplicating a map and using each successive simultaneous event from separate maps...

OK... I can live with that I think?

Thanks Reginald...

I thought I saw that in the release notes but haven't yet figured how. Thanks for the link. I'll do some reading and see what I can find!

I couldn't find any other way, so i created a new event that included a few within. It works, but not particularly intuitive and certainly slower and less convenient.

Am I missing something? Is there a way I simply didn’t find?

Yeah... Subject really says it all but I'll expand.

Why are Zooms and Screensets combined in Zoom undo? When I hit Alt-Z I am repeatedly taken to previous screensets instead of only undoing zoom in current window. This is almost always contrary to what I wanted or thought to expect. Changing screensets in not undoing a zoom. Too much screen unexpected screen changes can cause me to lose visible track of what I was looking at/for...

...or am I once again misunderstanding the "true" purpose of Alt-Z? Undo VIEW as opposed to undo ZOOM? If so, Can this be changed by user? If not, I will most certainly post a FR as I keep waiting for this to magically be "fixed" but it doesn't go away!

Thanks Gang...

@Keni, if you don't mind I'd like to move this to the Articulations subforum. Seems like the kind of tip others who are exploring articulations might find useful.

Certainly Bitflipper... I love to help!

I’d love to see dynamics added to he QuadEQ!

I would have to look at it again, not at my DAW, right now, but they way I do cymbal "chokes" or mutes is to have the cymbal play and then play the cymbal choke or mute articulation anytime during decay of the cymbal. It plays a sample that is the drummer grabbing the cymbal to mute it.

Yup... If working in midi list. The event needs to be either key or channel (some different characteristics fir each) aftertouch to trigger that sound.

In PRV, only channel aftertouch seems available via envelopes, but I’ve now created & posted Cakewalk Articulation Map to make it easy using key aftertouch inserted at each desired location. Much easier now. This has been irking me for quite some time now so I’m relieved to finally have an easy solution.

There's a link to the Articulate Map in the Content forum...

OK!

This is better....

I fixed the crash 2&4 as well as the ride so they now perform correctly triggering at start and releasing at note end so that following notes respond correctly.

I've replaced the link in the Top of thread message...

Done! Got that quickly. Much thanks for the pointer! I'm about to post the updated versions....

Thanks again!

Articulations are pretty low level, so if you send an aftertouch on message it doesn't automatically send an aftertouch off message unless you tell it to.

You need two events in your articulation - one that sends the "on" message at the start, and another that sends the "off" message at the end.

Thanks Mark!

I was guessing something along those lines. The learning continues. Two events in one articulation. First happens at start and second at end.

Just booting up. Today’s lessons begin with this at top of list.
