Wow! Fifty five years as a band. 🤯 I listened to the Heep back in the 70's. Gary Thain was a wizard on the bass.

Hey Dave Hope you're feeling better soon. Eric

The Solution! I just received this email from Goran Grooves today. The fix works!!! Hi Eric, I heard from developers of Cakewalk a while back that they were working on a bug fix regarding this issue. I think the reason is this: our loops were originally exported as type 1 with a couple of tracks in them. They were then batch converted to type 0, which should behave strictly as a single tracks when imported into DAWs. Cakewalk was actually creating multiple tracks for type 0 MIDI and not for type 1 in some instances. Anyhow, we have cleaned up, re-exported and re-organized all of our MIDI loops. They are now strictly single tracks. They should import as such into Cakewalk. Please download the v2 from your GoranGrooves Library account. You were automatically updated. Let me know how they work for you. Goran Rista Drummer Producer/ Founder of GoranGrooves

Thanks for the info!

I'm not familiar with converting a midi file. Is this easy to do?

Here you go! 42c is a type 0 1a is a type 1 Chill Beat 42c-8s Ride Sync Kick.midChill Beat 1a-Str 8 Hats.mid

Hey Glenn Most of the created midi tracks are completely blank.

I posted about my issue back in 2022 and no one responded. It makes me wonder if no one is using Goran Grooves midi files with Cakewalk. Here's the issue: When I drag and drop a Goran Grooves type 0 or type 1 midi file into a track, the file splits into multiple midi files - which is a confusing mess. I contacted both Goran Grooves and Cakewalk back in 2022 and received some encouragement that Cakewalk was working on a solution. In more recent communication, it appears to have slipped through the cracks. If anyone is using Goran Grooves midi files successfully with Cakewalk - Please let me know your secret. ?

All is good now! Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize I had Cakewalk looking in so many locations for plugins. This spurred me on to do a little house cleaning. ?

I've managed to exclude th Epson directory. So, all is good. I removed C:\program files (x86) And then had to add the specific folders for each vendor : focusrite, groove monkey, etc. This seems to have done the trick. Hopefully, I haven't overlooked anything useful. ?

My Epson printer just added a new utility (for me) that checks the printer connection. Cakewalk VST scan now hangs while scanning ENSF.dll I've searched the Plug-in manager for this file with no luck. I don't know why Cakewalk is even looking at this Epson Utility. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Very nice!

What a happy tune! Thanks for sharing. ?

I really like Ozone, etc. I normally upgrade my Izotope products with each update. I'm not sure I will this time. The pricing structure seems a little confusing this time around - and pricey. I will wait to see what discounts the holiday season brings.

Exciting news!
