  1. Yeah, there is 50MB quota. I don't use any forum option to insert images into posts. imgur.com provides a copy button for the BBCode to past directly info the post. Once I upload a png or animated gif (the two formats I currently use) clicking on the image provides a list of copy options like this Click the BBCode copy button and right-click & paste in the forum post. ScreenToGif and LICEcap are both decent capture tools for animated gifs. I mostly use LICEcap because I started with it and it is simplier. But ScreenToGif can edit and add text to gifs so I grabbed its portable installer. It depends on how the link is added to the post. Using the method described above, images appear directly in post. They also appear as created. The forum does not mess with linked imaged. I have seen some post the url to the imgur page that hosts the image or the direct link to the image. As mentioned above, I use the BBCode copy option and paste it into posts to embed images.

    Computer overload

    Some Dell computers run a program called “Dell SupportAssist Remediation” which has been identified as a resource thief. See
  3. There are two basic track types in CbB: Audio - these have a wave icon MIDI - these have a 5 pin DIN icon Instrument tracks (a keyboard icon) is a special presentation of an audio+MIDI track pair. Normally a synth requires at least one audio+MIDI track pair or an instrument track to handle the MIDI data consumed by the synths and the audio data generated by the synth. When adding a synth plug-in into a project, all methods except the Add Track menu rely on the Insert Soft Synth Option Dialog for information about the tracks to add with the synth. The Add Track menu options are in the menu itself. If the Insert Soft Synth Options dialog does not appear every time a synth is added to a project, the "Ask Every Time" option has been deselect. This may be restored by opening the dialog using the "Insert Synth" button in the synth rack and re-selecting "Ask Every Time". After adding a synth to a project additional tracks may be added and connected to a synth. For example, after adding a synth with just a MIDI track, to complete the synth setup add at least one audio track and set its input to the synth. It is possible to create an instrument track by selecting the audio+MIDI track pair associated with a synth, right-clicking either track header and selecting "Make Instrument Track"
  4. Unless the registry is cleaned up as part of the re-install, BandLab Assistant has no idea what happened to the install it performed. The clean install process is detailed here BandLab Assistant keep track of what was installed. The details have been posted several times like this
  5. I prefer to upload images to an account I setup on https://imgur.com Then link them to post here. This avoids the forum quota issue entirely.
  6. Check for config differences between X3 and CbB such as the UseHardwareSamplePosition setting in Aud.ini
  7. try changing the recording mode to Sound On Sound
  8. A drum map may work. Each note number or a group of numbers to different targets.
  9. The SHIFT (partial personalization) and CTRL (full personalization) start up options may not be in the documentation. I believe they are part of the scripts used by the help desk. They have been mentioned in the forums for years. Partial personalization copies the user directory files from a master set of files in ProgramData without overwrite. Full personalization copies the user directory files with overwrite and resets some registry entries to their defaults. There is an option on the CbB Windows context menu and properties page to run as administrator. As a rule, running the DAW as administrator is not necessary.
  10. BTW, normally "Rescan Failed Plugins" and "Rescan All Plugins" should not be enabled.
  11. The second line in the scan path is a problem. The scan path should contain paths with VST2 and VST3 plug-ins only. Scanning the entire D drive is likely to result in the scanner trying to load dlls that have nothing to do with VST plug-ins like bzrclient.dll. Replace the second line in the scan path with the location(s) where audio plug-ins are installed. Avoid duplicate paths, for example, do not add d:\vstplugins\somepath, if d:\vstplugins is already in the scan path.
  12. Is bzrclient.dll in a VST plug-in folder? Searching Google indicates this may be game related. Review the scan path settings in preferences. It may be they are causing the scanner to scan folders containing non-VST related dlls. The image in the link shows the default scan path. Maybe start with the default and add back paths that only contain VST plug-ins. Post the scan path here if necessary.
  13. Importing MIDI into a project strips tempo because the project already has a tempo track. Opening a MIDI file creates a new project and uses the tempo data in the MIDI file to create the tempo track.
  14. Works for me Here is an example changing from Sort by Category to a custom Categories layout with nested folders:
  15. To restore the missing metronome files, hold down the SHIFT key when starting CbB.
  16. The layout is set at the top of the plug-in menu and in the Plugins tab in the browser

  18. At the bottom of https://inmusicbrands.force.com/BFDHelp/s/article/BFD-Migration-Frequently-Asked-Questions is
  19. CbB includes a plug-in called Channel Tools for this. This post may prove interesting
  20. WRT track controls, @Craig Anderton offered this solution (from http://forum.cakewalk.com/Pro-Channel-Panning-m3755460.aspx) I believe it was deleted from the Huge Book of CbB Tips because Channel Tools was not bundled with CbB at the time the book was compiled.
  21. For now, once they are set hide the controls
  22. Plug-ins included with X2 are documented here Plug-ins included with CbB are documented here To take advantage of all the extra content bundled with SONAR, perform a full installation of 64bit X2, apply the X2a update then install CbB. Installing CbB last insures all the shared files are up to date. If CbB is already installed, it may be a good idea to uninstall it before running the X2 installer. Use BandLab Assistant to uninstall CbB then run the X2 install and update.
  23. TAL Vocoder is a good one to start with. I would not rely on any posts older than SONAR Platinum for signal routing. Better yet, search this forum for current info before going to the old forum. The trick is learning about routing MIDI in Cakewalk. I posted a general guide here And here are a couple of more recent threads about TAL Vocoder that may help
  24. Editing in the Event List works as documented AFAIK, there is no way to revert the behavior to PA9. To disable a shortcut bind it to the "Do Nothing" function
