Referring to the software in general as "leased" (or rented) is misleading as most users do not understand IT terminology (especially without providing the context in which the term was used) and would think the lease is a contract involving the exchange of money for goods and services. In this case lease refers to the time a token is valid for an authentication process. IOW, it is a technical term with a specific context and using the term outside of that context to describe the software is incorrect.

If no one provides a solution, I'll try to make some time later to take a look at this. In the mean time, for auto-panning take a look at Sonitus Surround.

I appreciate Azslow's effort but as an aging Tcler, it would get a lot more use by if it used a Tcl engine instead of Lua. Don't have anything against Lua, I know it is an extremely popular scripting language just have my own preferences. Now if Variorum want's a challenge, create an MFX wrapper for Tcl. One that takes advantage of the TK graphical toolkit.

Cakewalk will break up MIDI data entered in the PRV based on the space between notes. I have no idea where the clip was copied or how the tracks in the project are setup. There are a variety of video tutorials on basic operations. Most of them are for older Cakewalk products but a lot information still applies. Some tutorials on an older Cakewalk product targeted for beginners are here Here are more tutorials feature a product more like current Cakewalk product. Some users have created their own tutorials and there are quite a few on Youtube. Cakewalk has quite a learning curve and it may take some time and a little study to get up to speed.

What you want to do is export the clip. There are several ways to export clips. Drag and drop to a folder in Windows Explorer or a folder in the Media Browser (you may recall I provided a link to the Media browser in your other thread) may be your best options. Both do the same thing - create MIDI clips as files on the hard drive. As far as naming the clip, this can be done in clip properties in the inspector or once the file is created.

Yes, ALT+click on the bus number will select the tracks sending to it. Sends have a pre/post fader switch. The output is post fader. Functionally a post fader send is the same as routing the output to a bus. Pre-fader sends are useful for sidechains. Sending tracks to another track using a patch point or an aux track can serve the same function as a bus except the it is located in the track area. Some like to see "buses" next to the tracks. Some prefer the have buses in the bus area.

Just installed. The original and MK II were installed and activated.

Bit depth does not matter. ASIO bit depth is disabled because the driver works at one value. This is normal. Given the sample rates are the same. this is not the problem. Are you using another product that uses an ASIO driver? If so, make sure its sample rate is set the same. Most Widows software does not use ASIO. In addition to DAWs, audio/video editing software typically can use ASIO.

No, the plug-ins included with CbB are listed here.

If this is the default Windows audio device make sure Windows and CbB are set to the same sample rate. Sample rate in Windows is set on the Advanced Tab in the Properties of the default Playback and Recording devices in the Sound control panel.

Thanks for this Eventide is one of the worst when it comes to letting users know about updates. This plug-in is free for Anthology X and XI users. Downloading Anthology XI 2.1.1 now.

For audio clips, you can change the pitch and tempo of the clip but you cannot go into the clip and change a major to a minor. At least not without additional software. This can be done with tools like Melodyne Editor and Studio (the lesser versions cannot work with polyphonic data) and in real time with products like Zynaptic Pitchmap. For this type of application MIDI is much more flexible.

Creating MIDI loops for chords will work. Use the Media Browser to store them in a folder in the MIDI Groove Clips (a predefined area in the Content Location menu) or anywhere you like. You can extend the Media Browser as you see fit, add folders, create new entries in the Content Location menu, drag and drop MIDI and audio clips from your project into folders.... Ultimately if you spend any amount of time in the Piano Roll View, you will get a keyboard controller for data entry. Does not have to be expensive, have a lot of keys or control options, Just something to bang in the notes. Of course, if you play keyboards the size and feel are issues. If not practically anything beats using a PC keyboard, mouse and copying loops when entering data in the PRV.

That is a good idea. Having Always Echo Current MIDI Track enabled is part of the problem. When this feature is enabled, any track that has its input set to None will have the input changed to Omni when the track has focus because input must be set to echo something. Having the track set to Omni will pick up all MIDI data at its input. This will include the controller and any plug-in with "Enable MIDI Output" selected. Any synth that can send/generate MIDI data will have "Enable MIDI Output" selected by default. "Enable MIDI Output" for a plug-in instance is available on the Soft Synth Options dialog when adding the plug-in and the VST2/3 drop down in the standard header (scroll down to be bottom of the page for the description and image) after the plug-in is added to the project. A good practice is only "Enable MIDI Output" when needed. This along with manual control of input echo should take care of unexpected MIDI data hitting instrument and MIDI track inputs.

Yeah, fresh install of everything is the way to go. It would help to know which versions of SONAR you have and need to install. At least one full SONAR install is a good idea before adding CbB. Depending on how presets were stored can affect a new build. If the Cakewalk preset manager was used (the one in the upper left above every plug-in UI), the plug-in manager can export the presets from the registry. If plug-in specific preset managers were used, migration depends on the how presets are stored. Third party plug-in activation is another manufacturer specific routine. As mentioned above, Celemony and XLN Audio have their own installers and activation methods. Use their installers to install their products. Both allow 2 concurrent installs so it is possible to have them both activated on the old and new PC although you will want to deactivate the software before retiring the old machine.

No The Overloud plug-ins were locked to SONAR and now CbB. To run the bundled Overlound plug-ins (BREVERB 2 Cakewalk, TH3 Cakewalk) in SONAR requires a version of SONAR that included the plug-in. Unfortunately SONAR 8.5 did not include the plug-in so the plug-in will be locked out when opening projects containing the plug-in. Other than the PC modules which won't work in SONAR 8.5, all of the others are included in 8.5 (with the exception of 8.5 LE).

Assigning note names in the Notes Pane is not the same as using a drum map and the Drum Grid Pane This covers the basics of using drum maps with AD2. It is possible to use the master and individual outs at the same time. Refer to page 33 in the Addictive Drums 2 Manual.pdf or look at the template supplied in the zip file linked in the OP and the Knowledge Base article link in this reply. When using separate outs for the toms use a bus or aux track to sum them. Use quick groups and create control groups if desired.

Since re-install appeared to fix the issue in the past that would be the first thing I would try. It should not be that painful. Run the uninstall option from the menu shown below then the Open button next to the menu will change to Install, click Install.

When running a DAW it is a good idea to disable Windows sounds completely. If you are running ASIO4All, this is not a real ASIO driver. It is a wrapper for WDM drivers primarily designed for programs that only support ASIO drivers. Sometimes it works better than the native Windows drivers; other times ASIO4All is a problem and must be uninstalled to restore the machine back to proper operation. AFAIK, the native Realtek ASIO does not work very well either. MME is the driver mode of last resort. Typically the worst performer.
