Yes the few old timers are still there. Bad news about the friend's computer. Is it not fixed. It is stuttering. We turned off the FX the computer. It's running 1.5 cpu taskmanager on cakewalk. He didn't tell me all the details. It won't even play a song. We reinstalled cakewalk. That didn't help. I will try to do a fresh install (It will be remote - Which make me a little nervous messing with the registry over the internet. I'll try that tomorrow. Edit here down-> He has no control surface.

Bad cable. Thanks for all the suggestions and help! That is one of the best things about cakewalk. I even check in at the old original newsgroup once in a while. There are still 5-6 people that check in from time to time.

We will try the soft synth.

Keyboard no longer communicating with Cakewalk.

PB - Everything off reboot Computer, sound card, keyboard. Reinstall . Bristol - thanks Where is that complete fresh reinstall link?

I'm trying to help a friend. He went to bed, woke up the next day and his MIDI no longer works. We have done most of the simple things (Reboots, Reinstall). I was trying to find the audio.ini etc. I know this is not much to go on. Scarlett Sound card. Using MIDI form there. The ins and outs are set correctly. The start, stop, setting is correct in setup Can't find it Auio.ini to try deleting it?? - Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Go in the bios and disable the Realtek if it is on the motherboard.

Melodyne can very accurately convert audio to midi. You could look into that. Once converted it is easy to loop sections. Edit added: Melodyne has an EQ like scaler EQ built into it Melodyne can do compression Melody can do DeEssing Melodyne can do artifact noise reduction Melodyne can do mouth click noise reduction Convert a sung melody to midi Convert drum tracks to midi And I don’t even know 1/2 of what it can do lol

I already have it. Thanks, I'll send it to some friends!

REA? Lol. Is you have installed the plugins properly. You go to edit, preferences, file group - VST then click scan. This will show cakewalk that you have some plugins. If they are not in a sub of the common folder you should add the folder in file group “folders” from preferences.

This might be a file thing. I would try Chkdsk first. If that does not work, my next suggestion would be a fresh install. let us know if either of these work.

I can’t think of but one thing. If you create a song with a plugin, then you update the plugin software. Sometimes programmers will use a different name. All plugins have registered names. Not like the ones we see, but like My bassfingers VST ID: 1296453715 if the programmers change this number cakewalk won’t know that that’s the same Plugin. Sometimes they do it on purpose for different reasons. Sometimes I just think it’s just an accident. NOT-Lol ! Sometimes it’s a simple as rebooting your computer and restarting sonar or Cakewalk to correct things

And “M” is not mute it’s markers. Lol

That’s a lot of garboly goop? There is a forum search that is good too
