It's normal behavior - even for MIDI only projects

Thanks - I know it makes perfect sense - I just expected it to continue past that end note

Syphus

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,

Syphus

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)

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.

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.

Syphus

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 . . .

Syphus

Additionally I saw this:

Cakewalk SFZ+ does not read .sfz files, it reads .sf2 (soundfont) files . . .   Be sure that is not your problem

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  . . .

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 .

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.

Syphus

I ... could... be only arguing in my spare time!

No problem - that is what I saw . . .   Just checking

Later - Thanks

Ok, I'll bite . . .   Free from where?    I only see a pay version . . .

Just curious . . .   Thanks,

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 . . .

I'll give it look again . . .

After much digging . . .   It is NOT available in the US.  I did manage to get a screen to come up that will notify me if/when if become available - otherwise no deal for US

Syphus

I believe if look to the bottom of the page - it says:

"All this for 10 per month - what's stopping you"

I'm assuming this is a subscription price - but looking deeper, It seems to be a strange set up ?

I'm just say'n . . .

I'll give it look again . . .

Star Trek discovery is on NETFLIX also but not Picard .. Yet

Just checked and I'm not seeing it on Netflix - should I be searching for something specific ?

Actor-singer Kenny Rogers, the smooth, Grammy-winning balladeer who spanned jazz, folk, country and pop with such hits as “Lucille,” “Lady” and “Islands in the Stream” and embraced his persona as “The Gambler” on record and on TV died Friday night. He was 81.

One of my favorites was "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" -   Rest in Peace Kenny R

Hi All - Thanks for the response . . .

My buddy disabled all his sound drivers except the UMC404HD driver and he said it appears to be stable (time will tell).  I won't know till this weekend if he was successful . . .

Still, if you have info on this interface, please do include it in the thread.  It could prove to valuable to others using or thinking about getting  this interface.

Once again,   Thank you all!

Syphus

Hi there,

A friend of mine just bought this interface and I was curious if anyone out there is using this hardware?

His OS is Windows 10 -  I don't want to get too technical here.  I want to hear some opinions about it (good or bad)

He is experiencing what appears to be a driver conflict:  With out warning while using CbB or youtube,  The driver disconnects and has to be "jump started" by pulling the USB cable and reinserting.

The dropout seems to be random and not triggered by any particular action.   Doing some research, I found it might be conflict between Windows bit rate settings and his ASIO settings.   Has any using this unit experienced this and if so, how did you "fix it"

Any experienced suggestion is appreciated.   I don't want to dive too deep.  I don't know what his board specs are and don't think it matters in this case.   Just fishing for ideas on the problem and possible solutions

Thanks in advance . . .

Bummer . . .  I need more Camel Growl !

I know you just posted this,  but when I click the link, it does not look to be free.  In fact is says:

But Digital Album  $12 USD   or more

I like the "or more" part . . .     Listened to the samples, glad my neighbors only have horses - LOL
