it would be (Window key + Shift + S) - all three. Just spent 5 minutes trying this and it was not working for me. Had to look it up. it also takes a few seconds to come up ( at least on my system). Just say'n . . . Syphus

Yes it is supported . . . That would have been the first thing support would have informed me. I thank you for checking - you did try to change the "Tube Overdrive" parameters. The presets with the overdrive seem to work correctly. It appears that the exception I am seeing has to do with one of the graphics DLLs in my system. Also if you are checking this using Win 10, your check might be invalid for my purposes. Thanks, Syphus

Could be a bad or dirty mouse . . . Check the mouse for excess dust & blow out the dirt . . . Syphus

Thanks . . .

Tried already - no luck. IK support told me the new version was coming this week and see if that would change anything . It did not. Thanks Syphus

Problem: Trying to access the Satriani "Tube Overdrive" in pedals causes a AT 5 Crash/exception in both standalone and VST3 What I'd like to find out is if anyone else is experiencing this. If I touch the pedal, try to edit the pedal or insert the pedal in to the FX chain, I get a crash. All the other pedals in the collection appear to be stable. Also any presets with the pedal in it appear to be stable until you try to access the edit parameters. I am using Windows 7 OS <--- If you are checking you version (of AT 5) I think this applies only to Win 7) Also, if I try to use the pedal in AT 4 there is no problem. If you are seeing this behavior, could you please let me know. Currently I do have a ticket into IK for this but they are not able to reproduce it - They had me wait for version 5.02 update to see if it "fixed" itself, but it did not. So now I am doing a survey to see if it is local to my system. Thanks for your time . . . Syphus

Update to 5.02 - 1.02 makes it look like an old post . . . Correction: IK Product Manager is now version 1.03 Amplitube is 5.02 Syphus

Hi, I just looked and there does appear to be a VST2 version installed, but it does not show up in my FX list (due to being a VST2 - I think), but does seem to be installed per "Plug-in Manager). Don't have time to mess with it right now . . . You could give it a shot . . . Edit: Sorry, I did not see that you already said that you loaded VST2 with the same problem. Perhaps the new version will help Syphus

I don't have that same problem, but I do have a problem with AT5 (both stand alone and VST). I just bought the Joe Satriani add-on and when ever I touch the "TubeOverDrive" from the collection AT crashes. I am working with IKM support to get it resolved. In cakewalk, once I touch the pedal (click on it or try to insert it into another preset) it results in a "Not Responding" message. If I try to close the AT UI, windows shows a dialog box asking i want to close or wait for the program to respond. Have you tried the VST2 version (I don't know if there is a VST2 DLL yet). I'm going to try mine soon and see what happens (if VST2). You can also look at the event viewer and see if there is any info that will help. I thought this would be a good place to post this. Heads up - Support said that a 5.02 version is coming out next week. Perhaps that will resolve your problem (whenever it does come out) Syphus

ok - just checked on the cakewalk definition: "The new material is merged with any existing material. This means that any existing clips on the track are left unchanged and all newly recorded material is stored in new clips. While recording, you will be able to hear material from existing clips." So I stand corrected as to how "sound-on-sound" works for Cakewalk. But that does not invalidate my previous statements . . . and as mentioned by @RBH, you can use take lanes . . . Syphus

Firstly - you are using a "multi-track" recorder. So why are you not using the software as it is meant to be used? Record your extra notes on a separate track then you won't have this problem. "sound-on-sound" is a technique that was from the old tape era. Once you record over top of already recorded material the previous track and the new recording should be mixed into "one data stream" (or track). You may be lucky enough to be able to "undo" a sound-on-sound recording. I have never used it so perhaps I do not know. The other thing would be to copy the track before you overwrite it with sound on sound. Just my opinion . . . Syphus

I got you beat by a bit. I have a floppy disk for windows version 1.03 and I have 5" floppy disk of version 1.0 I believe (dos version with manuals). Until Gibson bought Cakewalk, I had a user number of "104" . . . Syphus

It would be nice to have an option of inserting negative bars (as -2 ,-1, 0, 1, 2 ect). I believe Qubase has this functionality. I don't know if anyone else would like to see this happen on Cakewalk. Normally I just start my song at bar 2 or 3, but that does not reflect reality (bar 1 actually being bar 1). This has been brought up before in the old Sonar forums - don't know whatever became of it. Thanks, Syphus

Your title indicates that your "recorded track" has the metronome on it and the statement above says "during playback". I'm taking a guess here and saying the problem is during "playback" . . . . If so: Go into "preferences > metronome" and check if the box is ticked for "during playback" . . . I don't have Cakewalk in front of me (not in the studio now) but it could be that you have this selected and would cause your problem . . . see this: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=4&help=Dialogs2.069.html Syphus

I was not in the position to check at the time - thanks for the update @msmcleod. Sorry for the useless info . . . Syphus

I can't tell you where it is at, but in the settings there use to be a setting that would allow cakewalk to send data back to "cakewalk servers" for development purposes. You need to be sure that that is not checked to be active - the result would be that the closing process will try to report back to the "old Gibson server" which of course does not exist! This will hang due to no IP resolution and cause Cakewalk to hang in the "task manager" (unless you kill the process). I found this to be quite the pain if you don't know that it is selected (report back to server) since it takes quite a long time to release (disappear in Task Manager ). I would check that - of course this could have been fixed and no longer a problem, but I believe I have had this happen with in the last year. Syphus

. . . A duckless wonder?

Hi, I was reading your topic and I was wondering if this has to do with resolution of the automation nodes . . . So I did some digging and here is what I found: To draw automation shapes 1. Set the track’s Edit Filter control to the desired automation parameter (Track Automation or Clip Automation). 2. Select the desired pattern tool: Sine Pattern tool , Triangle Pattern tool , Square Pattern tool , Saw Pattern tool , or Random Pattern tool . 3. Set the Snap to Grid to the desired length of each cycle of the shape you want to draw. For example, if you want to draw sine curves, and you want each complete sine curve to last one beat, set the Snap to Grid to a value of Quarter. If the Snap to Grid is disabled, the default cycle is one measure. 4. Click and hold the mouse button in the Clips pane at the place where you want to draw the envelope shape. The place where you click also sets the vertical midpoint of the shape. 5. Drag up or down to set the vertical range of the envelope, then drag to the right or left to set the length of your edit. As you drag, the cursor’s vertical distance from the midpoint (the point where you originally clicked) determines the amplitude of the shape. To create a series of identical shapes, hold the SHIFT key down while you drag. To gradually increase or decrease the amplitude, gradually move the pointer farther from or closer to the midpoint. 6. Release the mouse button when done. The shape you selected appears, repeating according to the Snap to Grid setting. I have not try this, or claim to know what I am talking about (lol) but the above is what I came across (see number three). I don't know if it helps. I also saw some topics in the forum from long ago that also complained about the resolution of the "nodes". I don't know if that was addressed from then . . . Hopefully someone from this forum that does have automation experiences will reply . . . Syphus

I see that there are no replies. I have not used Cake for that myself but here is a link for a thread about Cake and video - Maybe it will help:

Sorry if it led You to "Agitated State" - LOL Syphus

For me - Link goes to 404 page (forbidden), then redirected to agitatedstate.com Syphus

@greg54 - do tell us what the resolution was. This will server to help others that may have the problem in the future . . . Thanks, Syphus

Now $79 @ Best Service . . . Bummer, I missed it! Syphus

I could not log in after they came back up so I sent a message to support and they fixed it eventually . . . I can now log into my account, but my order data is still missing. They said they were in the process of restore orders . . . . Just checked: "There has been an error processing your request SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'jrrshop_mage_LS.orders' doesn't exist, query was: SELE . . . " Still not there (orders). It has been a week since they emailed me . . . So who knows when . . . Syphus
