You really ought to listen with your ears instead of your eyes.

Cakewalk's staff view is abysmal. Always has been and does not seem to be much of a priority. Even a cursory search will reveal thread after thread going back into the deepest reaches of prehistory. I am not one to tilt at windmills and this one is tilting at windmills. You're certainly free to do as you wish, but my advice would be to throw in the towel . It sounds like the staff view is truncating what is being displayed. Odd time signatures display just fine in PRV. I don't know about your workflow, but composing in the DAW doesn't work for me. As someone who can semi read music, the PRV is confusing for writing stuff out; I find it great for editing, though. I tend to write everything in notation first, then export the MIDI and open it in Cakewalk. MuseScore is not very difficult and to get better you have to fork out some real money. I would highly recommend it. I use either that or Guitar Pro depending on what I'm doing.

Dupe

The staff view in Cakewalk is, um... how should we say... real basic. If you just have to look at notation I would advise using a real notation program. I have absolutely no trouble in the piano roll view with all kinds of crazy time signatures that change back and forth all over the place and PRV follows them just fine. I've never bothered with Cakewalk's staff view

Yes it will. I'm watching it do so right now.

What an idea! ?

It's all has capabilitiess at least moderately above my own skill level.

Maybe it's because I RTFM, follow the instructions and do it the way they say to instead of the way I want to

I've always had exactly 0 issues with either downloading, installing and/ or authorizing IK stuff.

I did. And Steinberg's thing cost roughly in that range. Back when it was available. So it looks like the OP - if he comes back- is gonna have to either pry his wallet open or learn how to write bass lines.

...From 2005. Bingo. Because it at least works. Indeed. Nothing inherently wrong with old, no-longer-supported 32 bit plugins. If they work. If they don't, it isn't worth fighting with them.

I have no such problem.

That is a depreciated, unsupported 32bit plugin. Not worth the hassle.

I believe that before adding a plugin, one should take a long, hard look and decide "do I really need this; is it really adding something necessary, or just more clutter to deal with?" I read your reasoning behind this and quite frankly I think you could accomplish the same result with only one. I know I can. When people use more than one EQ on a track, it is usually to have one as a broader, more creative tool to shape the sound and another in a more surgical role to fit it into the mix better. For example, creating complementary EQ curves to fit bass and kick drum together after shaping the broader sound of each. And this is coming from the guy who layers 6 different synthesizers on top of one another or runs a guitar through a live amp and four different sims.

Not use so many is one. 3 different EQs on a track is unnecessary and overkill.

OMG! No, not logic and reason! Forfend!

Did you change the edit filter back to "clips" from "automation"after you added your envelope?

Did you run a VST scan?

You have to map your controller to whatever you're controlling.

You wanna know why the mom & pop stores are struggling? That's it right there; not because big corporations are evil.

And like Jack said, be sure to get rid of all the bloatware. No doubt that laptop is packed with it, with about 7 million useless, BS, apps all running on startup.

Whatever

Why wouldn't the one master volume on the one interface that has multiple speaker outputs accomplish the task?

"I have win7 with update problem" means a problem with updating Win 7. At least according to the way English works. At any rate, not only does MS no longer support W7, neither does CbB.
