After you have made your selection, hold down the Shift key and click exactly on a note in the selection and drag your selection. You will see your pointer turns into the move tool. Hold down the Shift key is for moving a selection of notes as desired in the OP. Without the Shift key, you can only move a single note where I am. Kind regards, tecknot

It works for me. I can move notes in the Staff View just as I described above. See my updated response regarding a selection (using the Shift key). Kind regards, tecknot

Do not use the move tool. Use the select tool by clicking and dragging. You will see the pointer turns into the move tool as you are dragging. To move a selection of notes, hold down the Shift key when clicking and dragging. Let us know if that works for you. Kind regards, tecknot

My guess is that either you have your project set with a Workplace that does not include the Synth Rack or you saved your project with a Screenset that does not include the Synth Rack. In that case, I would suggest that you save a screenset with the Synth Rack open before saving your project. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Mark and welcome to the Cakewalk forums. It sounds like you are using an internal sound card, e.g. soundblaster. Unfortnuately, internal sound cards at this level (meaning quality) do not work well when working with CbB (Cakewalk by BandLab). Please let us know more about your system (DAW) setup. For instance, are you using a desktop or laptop, what type of sound card/audio interface are you using, what driver mode are you using, how is your headset connected to your PC. Kind regards, tecknot

Check to see if your clips are linked. Kind regards, tecknot

The only other things I can think of is that perhaps the output from your instrument/soft synth is not directed to an output (or a muted output) or input echo is turned off. Kind regards, tecknot

Could it be that your MIDI notes are out of range of Xpand!? Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Logan and welcome to the Cakewalk forums. Tell us, are you using an internal or external sound card? If you are using an external sound card, I would check in Windows as to which one is set as the default device the internal or external card. Kind regards, tecknot

Just one thing to check when it comes to crackles and pops, does the sample rate and bit depth match between CbB and your Saffire? If so, just ignore my question (apologies). Kind regards, tecknot

Cool. Glad you got it going. Kind regards, tecknot

After you checked all the necessary boxes (driver mode, output driver, playback timing master, etc.) make sure that your Master Bus has its output set to your audio output device. Kind regards, tecknot

Excellent!

There is a simple way to save the MIDI from a track. Just as scook suggested dragging it to the desktop, you could do the same to the USB flash drive. (If the MIDI is separate clips, select the track and Bounce to Clip(s) so that all the MIDI is consolidated.) Using the Media Browser, navigate to your flash drive and simply drag and drop the MIDI from the track in/onto the flash drive. Kind regards, tecknot

Steve, try making a track template for VA-3 and see if that works also. That way you can just insert the track template as desired. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Steve, I am wondering if you were to make a project template based on one of your earlier projects in which VA-3 is working, would it load correctly? If it works then at least you have a workaround until this issue is resolved. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Akira, Make sure that you do not have a lock on the clip. If there is a lock on the clip you should see a lock icon in the upper left of the clip in the Track View. There are two types of locks on clips, position and data. It could be that a data lock is protecting the clip/data from your desired change(s). To release a lock, right click on the clip and go to Clip Lock and uncheck Lock Data. Kind regards, tecknot

Yeah, Tobias, try the Matrix View as rsinger suggested. You can set it to playback each clip at different time intervals or immediately. Sounds like it would do what you're looking for. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Hendirk, There is a setting under Preferences | Customization | Editing that's at the top "Copy Entire Clips as Linked Clips" which is, I believe, checked by default. I set mine unchecked so that I don't get clips linked together. So, the SS clips can be repeated by stretching/rolling to the right and that's working for you now. Hum, must be something that didn't allow it to work in the first place. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Hendrik, I haven't used the step sequencer for quite a while, but I haven't been able to recreate your issue. I'm going to keep messing around with it and the groove looping to see what happens. Kind regards, tecknot

I would go to the Steinberg website for an answer on this one. Presumably, just one is all you need to store your licenses. Kind regards, tecknot

In order to have your SS clip to repeat when rolled out to the right, you have to convert it to a groove clip (Ctr+L). Kind regards, tecknot

uh, have you installed the driver(s)? Had to ask. Kind regards, tecknot

Just to clarify something important, your interface is your "realtek high definition audio" sound card. Make sure that your interface/sound card's sample rate and bit depth match that in Cakewalk's driver settings (Preferences | Driver Settings: Audio Driver Bit Depth (16 or 24, etc.) and Sample rate (e.g. 44.1k, 48k, etc.)), as well as the Playback Timing Master set to your Realtek sound card. You may have to change your Driver Mode (under Playback and Recording) after you figure out the above. Check those settings and get back to us with your results. Kind regards, tecknot

Thanks for the info. abacab. User905133 - this problem is at the installation level. The install does not see Rapture (installed) on my C drive. Kind regards, tecknot
