I'm a big fan of pipes of all kinds - I especially like bands featuring the Breton pipes! I've watched the Transatlantic Sessions on TV and also the live stream of it that they did from Celtic Connections. Great stuff - they recently repeated the early ones and I had forgotten how long they had been going for.

Ah I see! ? It was late!

If you are referring to my posts on YouTube I've been following Mike for several years now so that would hardly be surprising - I haven't kept count. In any case what relevance does that have?

I'm sure he would To be honest Mike has a large community following him so rather than 'clickbait' I'd suggest that many of these videos are aimed at those of us who enjoy his content. I even watch product reviews that I have no interest in buying just to see his take on them! I'm sure I am not alone in that.

No he doesn't. It was the title that made me think that not the content

Yeah I laughed out loud when I saw that and wondered if Mike had been here ?

Mike is a genuine guy - I've engaged with him a lot since beginning to watch his videos. In my opinion he has the most accessible and enjoyable Cakewalk tutorials I've seen ( there are lots of other excellent presenters too of course) and when he puts out videos like this he speaks from the heart. He is also very active in offering help on his Cakewalk related Facebook page.

I clicked on the download for the PC VST3 version when the message came up. Suspect it's a false positive but will wait a while to see if anyone else gets it

Got this warning from Malwarebytes - possibly a false positive but I'll hang back for the moment - shame as it sounds excellent! Website blocked due to malware Website Blocked: usc1.contabostorage.com Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this page because it may contain malicious activity.

I chose between Scan and Chillblast - I went for Chillblast in the end as a) my old PC built by them had been rock solid apart from needing a replacement CPU fan and b) they have a much better guarantee than Scan. They did overcharge me a bit for an additional 2Tb M2 drive that I specced but other than that prices were similar.

Wish I had seen this before the Coronation!

Oh and thanks! ?

Very wise! I was going to wait but the old PC was on its last legs so went for it as my Win 11 laptop (nothing critical on there!) seemed ok! Then it all went pear shaped ? I'm not going to rush into any changes as hopefully MS will do an update that will sort before I get attacked by the Kernel Stack Monster!

Try the WASAPI modes - they work for me on a PC with an internal soundcard - you may need to redirect your Master output in each project as I did after using ASIO4All for many years. Took me a while to figure out that that was why I wasn't getting any sound

Hi all - in Win 11 has anyone experienced the 'Kernel Mode Hardware enforced Stack Protection is off' in Windows Security - Device Security - Core Isolation' warning. I've read around about this an it seems like it may be related to a new Windows security update that was intended to fix another security error (which seems to have gone away now) It gives an option to turn on and restart but I have read that some people have had problems with this as it affects drivers I'm tempted to take the risk and leave it alone hoping that another security update will sort it but does anyone have any experience of enabling it?

Welcome back Larry!

If you are using an onboard soundchip then use WASAPI Exclusive or Shared. If you are using an audio interface find a proper ASIO driver for your device. ASIO4ALL has been problematic for some. Although I had no problems with it I swapped to WASAPI and that is fine - you may need to reroute your Master output though as I found when at first it didn't seem to work

I thought Sine had been a bit quiet! Thanks!

Malwarebytes Browserguard flags up a warning for that site unfortunately - don't know if it is a false positive but I'll not take the risk - who needs another free synth anyway ?

Open the pod bay doors GPT........

ha ha - that's me to a T - though I usually go for free ones - having said that I'm still working through Sample Tank Max & Syntronik 2 (both of which I got at a bargain price!)

So did Spitfire with their LABS choir - really focussed the mind which is what I need!

I'm not surprised at all - I'm considering putting an improvisational piece I did with TFO out to members of the Cakewalk Forum run by Mike at Creative Sauce for comment and then friends - if I do it will be the only piece I've 'released' since a competition entry using LABS Choir (which I didn't win unsurprisingly) TFO is amazing!

Nice one! Could that be Spitfire they're taking the P out of by any chance?!

Thank you!
