    It is not true all is restored, I still cannot login by my email I changed few months ago in JRR... And also I did successful buys on 2 and 4 July which required they manual action with providing serials...

    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 . . .

    [Solved] - Midi ends and transport jumps to Now Marker

    in Q&A

    Posted · Edited by Syphus
    Solved

    Ok - Interesting scenario - I was just messing around and I was just using MIDI notes to drive and instrument.  

    No audio recorded

    When I played back the the midi, at the end of the last note,  the transport jumps back to now time.  Now I expect that behavior,  at the end of an audio recording, but I never had just a plain midi track.   This effect sounds funky and at first I though there was something wrong.  It just sound like the note ends too abruptly.

    I got around this by recording some blank audio so my transport kept going and all sounded as I expected. 

    I know that I can use "Ctrl-W" disable the "Return to Now Marker", but I did not expect that from a MIDI track.    So My question is this - Is this normal behavior for just midi tracks (last note abruptly ends and then Return).

    Thanks,

    BSOD when disconnecting Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd gen

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    I had to disable my USB 3.0 Ports due to a USB error when disconnecting my Focusrite.   Also came up randomly by it's self (BSOD) and traced down to the driver for USB.  Since I was using the latest driver for USB (not Focusrite driver), I just disabled the 3.0 ports.  After that, not more random or pulled cable BSOD.

    I was getting desperate due to the recovery from it was getting risky - once I had to spend four hours recovering  . . .   Since then I do weekly back ups of the C drive - just in case . . . 

    Since this was a laptop - I don't believe I had any other choice (can't replace USB easily)

    Upgrading to Melodyne 5

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    However there are some gotchas...

    1. Melodyne 5 does NOT work on Windows 7 - if you're planning to stay on Windows 7, don't upgrade.

    Well I can verify that V5 will not work on Win 7.   I did not think about it and just updated.   No Go!

    Fortunately I always have the original install files backed up and I just reinstalled the last version.

    I was actually just searching to verify if anyone else would have run into a problem installing on win 7  . . . .  I guess I got my answer . . .   Win 10 . . .   Hmm, one day.

    2020.05 bugs

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    I think this should have been posted  in the "Cakewalk Early Access for 2020.05" area.   It might have gotten more attention. 

     

    But I checked the VST on the developers page and found this to be interesting,  That being said, do post back here if it still remains broken after the release (I might install it myself).

    if it is (still broken) - there will be the feedback on 2020.05 release.  You should mention it there.

    Cakewalk doesn't seem to see *.midi even though the extension is set to open with Cakewalk

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    It seems this has come up before:

     

     

    IMHO:   I do not think that per the midi standard that "*.midi"  is valid file extension for midi.  I'm not saying that it is not used (because there are programs out there that will only output "midi" extension), but I believe that it was not a file type back in the day.

    Personally, I would not expect a MIDI file to have that extension.    I saw the Reaper forums talking about the same issue and now Reaper recognizes that extension. 

    Just some observations . . .

    SF2 files

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Hi - would it be fair to say that a 32bit SF2 (soundfont) file could not possibly play through SFZ  in CbB? I have tried without any success.

    I'm assuming that you are referring to the player as being 32 vs 64 bit.   I believe the soundfont file does not come in a 32 or 64 bit version . . .  it is just a file to load into the player (which could be a 32 or 64 bit application). 

    So as long as the player matches your installation (64 bit), the file should load.  If the app (SFZ Player) is 32 bit, you may have to update the player (or to a player) that is 64 bit.  If need to use a 32 bit version . . .  then that could be problematic because you will need to use another program to run it (such as BitBridge) in CbB.

    Do note that the soundfont file can be *.sf2 or *.sfz.  sfz is a compressed format and not all players can play them (decompress).

    Hope that helps . . .   If you do a search on the forum . . . there are several threads about Soundfonts and players.

    If you still need help . . .  It would be advisable to include specific info as to what you are trying to do and what your failure mode is . . .  I'm sure some will be able to chime in and help

     

    What player ?

    What font file?

    What error if any?  What is the failure mode  . . .

    Screensets Not Working Properly?

    Yes, there is bug in the docking panel.  I reported months ago, and it's confirmed. I believe it takes time for the baker to address the problem.

    Thank for the confirmation  . . .  I had done some looking but I did not come across that.  At least I know it is a known problem .

    Screensets Not Working Properly?

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    Hi All,

    The title is a bit misleading after doing some work.  Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why I'm see this behavior .

    I just spent the last hour combing through the threads and reading the manual when I fixed my problem.  Here is what I saw:

    I had "screenset" 1  set in a new project I started today.  I was working with some samples using the "Media Browser".  To make extra room, I had "removed" the "Help" module.  This gave some room and left a module header bar that said  "Help Module" and contained the ">>" marker (or button) that would allow me to collapse the "Media Browser.

    After working a bit I started to set up some screensets for my workflow and what I kept running into was a problem with screenset 1.   I would collapse the "Media Browser", then switch to another screen, but when I came back to 1, the "Media Browser" would be open again.  This started making me crazy as I knew that I was doing it correctly (or so I thought).

    What I discovered (just as starting this thread) was that IF you close (collapse) the "Help" module, the header remains on the screen to support the ">>" marker.  If that condition exists and you collapse the "Media Browser" to the right side, then go to another screenset, when you come back the "Media Browser" is there again.  It is almost like the screenset save is weirding out for 1.

    Well the "workaround" is to un-collapse the Help module  (you can type "Y"), re-collapse the entire right side panel (including the Media Browser) using ">>", go to another screenset and "BOOM" it works now.  How strange is that.

    The reason I went to this length to type this that I thing this my be a bug, but maybe not??  What do you think?   I think it may be something that is not supposed to happen (i.e. a bug).  I try messing with the workspace setting to fix it but that was not the problem.

    Interesting, because us over here in Europe used to look on with envy at what was offered in Netflix US that we dont get here like alot more current movies etc. However i think thats sorting itself these days and the difference gap is closing. Of course VPNs

    it has something to do with CBS and Netflix being competitors . . .   Oh well,   I guess I will take the FREE route for now . . .
