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. EDIT-> we tried so many different things you wouldn’t believe. Trying to save some edits to songs done in the last few days. Well, there’s nothing like having a good back up and sometimes that’s the answer. It certainly was the answer this time. Thanks for all the help guys.

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!

https://discuss.cakewalk.com/profile/233-thesteven/ Steven wrote it. You could ask. I have never heard of version 3. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7220181#p7220181 It looks like v3 is out! I'll have to look into it, thanks!

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

It looks like a midi track. A midi track has no sound. It has to make sounds through a soft synth or a keyboard (midi module)

Oh yes to move 1 track click on 1 track. It will also unselect all others. No CTRL Then go back and select what you need.

Thank Mark and Glenn. I do mix a lot at night after everyone else has gone to sleep. I have been using Arc 3 and sound reference. I tend to screw up my mixes doing this. That is why I was looking into VSX. The waves things were fun at first, but in all actuality, never improved my mixes. I guess a need to go finish measuring my room again for some Glenn fine tuning.

“More and more I find myself opening projects direct from windows explorer just to make sure I'm opening the last project I was working on and not some earlier version“ I have to keep reminding myself about this! File open and sort by date reverse. It’s sad when you finish touching up v21 and it is sounding so good , but you do a save as to increment the number and you see v23, v24! Lol

I’ll send you the version of ffmpeg mine uses. You could try it. I’ll try to do it tomorrow. Do you have win 11? Steps on how to change MP4 to WAV with FFmpeg 1)Download FFmpeg library and install it. 2)Open Terminal / Command Prompt on your computer. 3)Type in the command: ffmpeg -i inputvideoname.mp4 outputaudioname.wav. ... 4)Press “Enter” to start converting MP4 to WAV. Does this work?

I have the waves CLA room , Ocean way and the rest. I have never got much out of these. Is the Slate better/different. I think I ready there was some binaural stuff in this setup. Anyone use these? Is it just more plug-in sales hype??? Thanks

You could re-read path stuff or I think you could drop the files in any of the default windows paths. Variable: %PATH% Default Value: C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem; etc. Details: Contains a list of paths to binary files used by various programs. You can execute the files kept in these directories directly from the command line without using the entire path. one of the default pre setup folders. Any of the above.

Yes windows could do this https://www.editframe.com/guides/how-to-install-and-start-using-ffmpeg-in-under-10-minutes offical site https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows edit- Qucik meds converter is a GUI only. Sometimes called a front end. All it does is sort thru the hundreds of commands that ffmpeg has built into it. QMC sends this to ffmpeg c:\fmpeg myvideo -r -g 225, 860, /w /c /e :f mp3 /280 /o /etc so you don’t have to memorize all this stuff lol! ffmpeg is a command line application with no GUI. That’s why most humans need QMC or other front end to use it Including me lol

Rain that is super Koooool looking. I'll bet it works great too!

I thought turning it up to 11 was great back in the day. Now your telling me we got a 1000db dynamic range! I was going to create a few .1hz-1.0hz audio wave files and see what they would sound like at 1000db. Now you've ruined everything by this "everything is clamped to 0db" 😆

I guess I should have done this. Sorry about all the graphics.I just looked this program supports 60 different video formats. Dozens of iphone,iPod and other phone formats. Xbox, Playstation, Wii DVD, H264. HTML5, Youtube , Windows media player. Just hover the icon for general info. Click and the selections for that group appear. Don't buy it, I think the guy quit working on it. Free, MANY types or conversions, Unlimited length, Free Internet Downloader.

No limit on file length. I hope I have these in order. I know it’s a bad UI, but once you learn it, it is very easy to operate. + to add files music note for audio Circle thing to convert folder icon to locate the file Hope this helps (This is like Razor Lame-which is dependent on Lame. Quick media converter is only a GUI for ffmpeg which must be installed for it to operate) I think many programs use ffmpeg for the actual conversion)
