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 . . .

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

Watched the video - Lots of pops and drop outs?

I will probably try it out, but if it sounds like the video (pops etc.)  I'll just get rid of it.   I'm hoping it was just his set up because it looks interesting.

Just my observation.

Freezing means rendering audio to a file. Currently a bus can't play an audio file, though I suppose that capability could be added. In the mean time you can bounce the bus to a track that outputs to the same destination, and mute the bus. 

I would agree to the above (from @David Baay) as one solution.   But I was thinking and thought why not use the "Mix Recall" function.  I don't know if it would meet your requirements but I did this experiment since I was curious:

I opened a project and added a extra bus called "Sub-Mix1" - no FX added to either

I saved this configuration as a project, then crested a "Mix Recall Scene" called "mix1"

I then added a limiter to the master bus and a "EQ" to the sub mix bus - created a new scene named "mix2"

next I changed the FX on the "Sub-Mix" buss to something else and save that scene as "mix3"

At this point I could go to original mix "Mix1" and no FX in either buss.  Selected "Mix2" scene and each now had FX added.   Selected "Mix3" and the sub buss FX changed.

Now I don't know if that is what you are after (as in trying different mixes).    I myself, do not see a use for freezing a buss (with FX) since I can a bounce the buss to a track (to save plug-in overhead) or just create another buss with a different FX  and then mute the one I don't want in the mix.

Don't know if that helps . . .  But it is an idea . . .

When I retired 2 months ago, one thing I anticipated was having time to do some recording.

I have hardly touched my DAW, or a guitar since then. No inspiration, except time.

I encounter the same type of thing . . .   Don't let it get you down - it shall pass!   I think that retiring is a bigger challenge then some people think.

I was depressed for a few months after the "newness" of retirement wore off.

Excellent video - it was like I was there . . .  !

Congratulations to the two of you!

You could try contacting support yourself and suggest to them that it would be helpful if they could tag "sonar" videos with "Cakewalk" also.

It can't hurt to give it a try!

Syphus

Although this might not be helpful, I had a similar experience with Amplitube 4.

I was running AD2 (Addictive Drums) standalone and AT4 standalone at the same time and they were not happy sharing the ASIO driver for Focusrite very well.  Now I never had that problem within Cakewalk (running together), but did have problems trying to run the standalone AT4 and Cakewalk at the same time (mostly crackles).

This was over a year ago.  Lately, I have run AT4 standalone and Cake running AT4 and everything seemed happy, but I think that was just luck.

Make sure you are not running any programs (outside of Cakewalk) that are using the ASIO drivers and Cakewalk at the same time.  Generally as a rule-of-thumb, I just run Cakewalk by itself.  Otherwise, I do not have any other ideas.

Syphus

You might want to open the "IK manager"  and have it check your ampltube  configuration . . .   I have have update (win 7 ) cause Amplitube to need to be "Fixed".

Syphus

Could you mark this as solved (if it is indeed "solved) - helps other out when looking for answers - thanks

[SOLVED] Why won't my files play after they are exported?

I'm thinking of backing up (imaging current disk) and giving 10 a try but I need to understand what is meant by "Deactivating" licenses (as mentioned in previous posts).  Are we talking just ILok or all registered (licensed)  Vst's.

I don't want to fight my system to get things back to normal - thanks for info . . .

Auto Update failed for me, so I did have to download and install manually

You can change the year, you can change the decade, but it seems you can't change BA. 

True -  I think the first couple of times it worked for me (updated from BA) - Never works now - They should fix that . . .  (He said, stating the obvious)

NOTE: old posts refer to simply copying and renaming folders to create working versions of CbB. This is no longer a safe practice. To have multiple versions of CbB available online use Launchpad.

@scook ,  Can you explain "what is not safe" about the rename/copy option?  If it exist, point me to the thread that talks about or explain it here.   I have been copying the "cakewalk core" and archiving it and I would like to know how this could muck things up . . .   Thanks "ahead of time"

Is there a way to downgrade to a lower OS, the new update is slow acting. The scroll line jumps and skips to the music. I tried editing the latency, but still the same. Didn't do this before the update.

Folks - I read this as a reference to the new update of CbB . . .

@kday - please state what you actually requesting - Cakewalk upgrade OR an actual OS (operating system) update.  It would let members advise you better . . .

Thanks,
