@RobertMcClellan may well have covered midi and audio in other videos (I'm sure he will point you the way ? ) and you also may want to check out Mike at Creative Sauce who has a complete course on Cakewalk here. He also has a specific video on routing Kontakt. Hope these help

That's certainly my position - I've never been an early adopter - didn't get a mobile phone until I needed to call home after a conference (as I was going on a pub crawl ? ) and found none of the phone boxes worked and one of them had been used as a toilet! I'll stick around until the upgrade from TS2 to TS 3 is worth it - I wouldn't go to more than £100 as I don't really need the stuff

Yep Peter please stick around - most of us recognise that your response was out of character and you graciously apologised. I'm sure none of us here us innocent of not losing it occasionally in a discussion and regretting it afterwards! The best thing about this forum is its friendliness and helpfulness - ok we get a bit annoyed about stuff sometimes but we shouldn't shoot the messenger!

Orchestral Tools has a free percussion library for the free Sine Player. Not sure how extensive it is but the sounds I've played have been pretty good

Quite a lot of stuff in there over and above TS Max 2 so I don't imagine it will be a cheap upgrade

Yep that seems to work for me too

Sine Player is the VSTi - you then load Layers sound files into the VST. It's not the easiest of hosts to get around admittedly. Orchestral Tools also have some new free sounds including a very good string ensemble

Definitely. A few disappointing ones but lots of great stuff in there especially the more ambient / atmospheric ones

That pesky abacab - I'd have beaten Larry if wasn't for him!

Have I actually beaten Larry to this one?! https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/pipe-organ?__s=gzw6qow58ownp56lonyy

There are many excellent tutorials around that you could follow. Mike at Creative Sauce has a whole series from first steps.

Installing the Synthwave sounds and the free AT content seemed to reset my content paths in ST4! It deleted my ST3 path and replaced it with an additional ST4 one! I've reset the paths and rescanned and it seems to be ok now. I was very confused when I opened ST4 initially and most of my content had the download symbol overlay!

Sorry to hear that, Bill. Best wishes from York in England

Just downloading it as I read this!

Yes good luck to Robert with this. He has contributed a lot of excellent tutorial and other material for free so I can't imagine anyone would begrudge him success with this course

I fancied that but my ageing graphics card isn't up to it - still I've got a backlog of Epic & Ubisoft games to try out from when they had their Christmas giveaway

Agreed - Mike is an excellent tutor & seems a really nice guy too

That was so easy I wish I had done it ages ago! Thanks again!

Worked ok here - the one that doesn't work for me is the Steinberg - had to go to their website direct to dl

There is a new update to IK's Product Manager and AT5 which may help if you don't have them? I only have the free version of AT5 so don't know if this might be a solution but maybe worth a try?

Yes just tried here too - just opened a project with Halion Sonic SE and saved it without any problems ?

Ah I am hoping that this is the one (saves me troubling Noel for the one he has)

Ah! Many thanks!

I have a huge number of VSTi s that are in the Uncategorised 'folder' under the VSTi tab in the Browser pane and I want to move these into different and, in some cases, new folders. Could someone please advise of the best way to do this? Thanks in advance

This series of tutorials doesn't cover your specific question (that has already been answered) but is a great introduction to Cakewalk from first steps. All of Mike's videos are easy to follow and entertaining to watch and as you progress I'm sure you will find them invaluable as I have done
