I recorded this song and have been playing it many times. Now when I open it up and hit play I get this message. "Unable to create new audio file for recording". Did I click on something I wasn't suppose to? Thanks

Do I need to mark this resolved? If so how do I do that.

Thanks for the reply! I think I might keep them separate for reasons you suggested. Maybe make copies and deal with them so I don't totally mess things up.

So I was able to find the slide out thank you. I was able to get both tracks one orange and one green from the white notes. So is there a way to combine the two tracks into one or do I not want to do that. Both play at the same time so that is okay?

Simple as that. Thanks!

The electricity got turned off for a minute. When I turned the computer back on to Cakewalk and selected a song I got this message. What do I do now? Thanks

Thanks for the replies! I will work on that.

I recorded one track and then I recorded another track while listening to the first track. When I try to view the tracks with piano roll I get this. Hopefully a screen shot. And it doesn't select all the sounds. Just apparently one track. I'm not even sure how to ask this. The screen shot on the right is how I recorded the tracks and the one on the left is what I get with piano roll. But it doesn't change all the sounds to orange.

Enjoyed the song very much! Being new to this Cakewalk thing I am amazed when someone does a song well coordinated or put together I guess I am trying to say. A fellow Portlander. Where is that rain?

Isn't interesting how "sad" songs can be so beautiful. I really like this song! The quality of the instruments and the vocal is bang on.

Okay Tom Deering. Thanks for the reply. As I posted I don't know what I am doing. I am not familiar with any of the things you suggested. I will try to figure them out.

Made this with an Oasis Obviously I don't know what I am doing here? 09 Track 9.mp3

My favorite kind of music. A guitar, a story, and a person with a nice voice. Thank you!

bdickens Thanks for the link. Very helpful!

Thank you for the links! After looking I couldn't find them myself.

I downloaded a virtual instrument Ample Guitar m 2 lite. There are lots of options and different screens. Is there any place that can explain what the different options do or do I have to experiment with them all and figure them out myself. Thanks

Great voice! Piano a little muddy.

Thank you very much for the responses! I was confused which is not uncommon when trying to learn this DAW.

bdickens your telling me I need both Din cables and 1/4" cables? Correct?

John, thank you for the diagram. What I am thinking is that the diagram shows me is that not only do I have the Din cables plugged in to the Focusrite but the 1/4" plugs plugged into 1/L and 2/R on the Korg and on the Focusrite line inputs 3 and 4 for the Korg keyboards to work. Is that correct?

This what I ended up doing. For the Casio I used the UM-ONE mk2 which is Din plugs to a USB port on the computer. For the Korg Wavestation EX I plugged in 1/4" jacks into the Korg at the back of the keyboard into 1/L and 2R. Then into the Focusrite 4i4 into line outputs 3 and 4. If I want to use the Korg Z1 I plug the 1/4" jacks into the Z1 at the back line/mono and R. Then into the Focusrite 4i4into line outputs 3 and 4. I am able to record with all these arrangements. From what I can figure out from the tutorial this is not correct. But I don't know what else to do. Except for the Casio the Din cords do not work with either of the Korgs. Yes, I know audio and midi are different. I can do audio with the mic and a guitar.

This is what happens. If I connect the Roland UM-one which uses Din plugs and plugs into a USB port to a Casio WK-1200 I get sound through the speakers. If I connect the UM-one to the Korg EX I do not get any sound through the speakers or movement on the sound meter. If I connect Din plug cables to the Korg and the Focusrite 4i4 I get no sound through the speakers or no movement on the sound meter. If I take the same Din plug cables from the Korg and plug them into the Casio WK-1200 and the Din plugs of the Focusrite 4i4 I get sound through the speakers and on the sound meter which to me means the cables are good and the UM-one is good. I contacted Focusrite support and they did some tests and said the 4i4 is working fine. They also had me run a file called MIDI-OX which showed the Korg was producing MIDI. I was assuming that if you wanted MIDI that attaching Din cables would work.

I can play Quiet Piano with my mouse. Is there any way to play it with my midi keyboard? Thanks

Thank you for the tutorials John! I will watch them again and again. I am missing something and just have to figure it out.
