I saw this posted once, but can't find it. TIA

Since we are already off the subject - Me - I got to look up and google everything. So google CLAPS plugin format lead me to "Hand Clap Studio" and this -> A little over 1/2 way through - when the Surge XT plays there are a couple of fantastic patches that play!! I have looked everywhere to find them. I saw "Filtered Saw" on the patch name. I have downloaded all the surge presets I could find. Stayed up all night auditioning them. Anyone got any ideas besides taking lessons on Surge XT ? TIA

I've seen CLAP is a new plugin format, is it supported in Cakewalk yet??

I haven’t bought it yet. I like it but it kind of sounds like they turned up the volume , boosted the high frequencies with mild saruration they also spreaded the width some. Also sounded like Look I it had limiter in the mix. That’s a lot to do using one knob! GUI is pretty simple.

I have really been liking the 9000J. I got the new Amek 9099 waves SSLEV2, but for now I still prefer the 9000J

I just turn it completely off when I am in a dense mix. I'm not sure all the programs/files that might get scanned while mixing a song. There was a thread a while back, but I can't seem to locate it. You could disable virus scanning on all folders with Audio and CWP files. These would probably be the ones that would be accessed the most. You could just turn it off for a min and see if your song will play without dropouts. If it plays ok you could decide when to turn it off and on or you could turn off audio/cwp folders. I tried just selected folders, but it was not enough for my system, I had to turn it completely off. Just a note ** it will turn itself back on**. Hope you get it all figured out.

Yes that reminds me of a great idea for a projectScope 2. That would be a great add on for an already awesome program. Sounds like a rather complex idea to calculate all this info.

Yes and a way to see each plugins cpu/latency would be good. plug-in doctor could help but it does not open waves plug-in bundles.

I tried to read all the post. I didn’t see where anyone mentioned how much of a problem antivirus programs can be. I have to turn mine completely off to make the computer process my songs smoothly. Another option is to disable virus scanning on your cakewalk folder.

Can’t help with driver problems but - Lussen is super cpu intense. If you are talking about ozone, it is also a very high cpu plug-in. I own a few thousand plugins and these two are at the top of the list in cpu usage. I assume you are using these on a master bus in the song.cwp. My recommendation is - 1) If you insist on using mastering plugins in the main song file you should freeze all tracks with plugins on them. If that does not free enough cpu 2) Export you audio without theses plugins. Then move them to a separate project called (your song)- master. Do your mastering from here and export your final version. Some people make a master cwp file and load all the songs for a cd into the file. They balance the volume and tone here. I use samplitude for this last step. It can be done in cakewalk as well.

I think it is in ……\core I’m wondering if everything is in “core”.

If I wanted to back up all the cakewalk settings, which folder would that be? (Recording mid settings preferences etc?)

I love background vocals with these micro shift plugins! Thanks, Max

Eventide H910 Harmonizer H949 Harmonizer H3000 Band Delays H3000 Factory If you were going to get 2 which would you get? Yes, I have the demos. Thanks

Where and how does Plugin Doctor show the CPU usage? Anyone figured out how to test waves plugins?

Thanks for all you post and research Larry.

Yes, my wife will kill me if I spent 200-250 on another reverb LOL!!

I can't find the demo downloads? Can someone post a link? I have sound toys micro shift, but are any of the Eventide's pitch/harmonizers extra special?

The title says it all. EDIT-Added - Any software recommendations? I want to share cakewalk video and audio both ways. Is it possible? I want to, one on one, teach mixing / editing. Thanks

Also just turn off vst scans on cakewalk startup. You don’t need to do that. You only need to scan after adding plugins or if you are having problems with plugins.

I was just watching a video by Marc Daniel Nelson. He was using that and the real thing. I thought about it but decided not to buy it. What do you guys like about it?

Yes thanks. I wish there was a plug-in refresh button. It worked the day before. Something got crossed up some where. A refresh would probably make it work. I do have a bunch of plugins and soft synths. Wow I just ran project scope. 161 plug-ins! It is a pop piece with some orchestration. Didn’t check how many soft synths. I sure wish project scope would add synths. Thanks

ASIO moved to 2048 still happening. Yes this is what I do first too. Thanks

No but thanks. I will look to see if there are any 32 bit plugins in it.

I have a song I have been working on. I saved it a few days ago, at that time it was playing ok. When I opened it back up to play it today, all I get is a pop. I have had this happen a few times before on different songs. I think it might be plugin related. Anyone had this happen before? I would be grateful for any help.
