Patrick Wichrowski Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 BBC SO Discover Template for Cakewalk: For those who have Cakewalk and bought or grabbed Spitfire's BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover for free, I created a simple Template to load all the instruments of the Orchestra with instrument icons, family colors, the tracks all named and separated in folders. There is no mystery. It is very basic. Just to have a starting point and not spend more than 2 hours assembling everything before starting to create music. Note: This consumes about 5.72 gigs of RAM to load all instruments. Note 2: If you make modifications to the template, it is better to leave the .png image next to the .cwt file when doing SAVE if you still want it to appear as a Template icon on the Cakewalk home screen. ------ (PT-BR) Template BBC SO Discover para Cakewalk: Para quem tem o Cakewalk e comprou ou pegou de graça o BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover da Spitfire, eu montei um Template simples para carregar todos os instrumentos da Orquestra com ícones de instrumentos, cores das famílias, as tracks todas nomeadas e separadas em pastas. Não tem mistério. É bem básico mesmo para ter um ponto de partida e não ficar gastando mais de 2 horas montando tudo antes de começar a criar música. Obs: Deve consumir uns 5,72 gigas da memória RAM para carregar todos os instrumentos. Obs 2: Se você fizer modificações no template, é melhor deixar a imagem .png junto do arquivo .cwt quando fizer o SAVE se ainda quiser ela aparecendo como ícone do Template na tela de início do Cakewalk. --- Thanks to the user @Matthew Sorrels for the track icons and for the other Template Spitfire BBC SO Discover - Cakewalk Template.zip 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBob Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Curious question though... Why not make each instrument a "simple instrument track" and avoid having to make an audio and a midi track for each? It would cut the template in half, and I can't see any functional limitations.

Teegarden Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks, I don't have this library but I'm going to study it and see how you've constructed an orchestral template. Very useful as a start for other orchestras as well I hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use my full BBC SO template. It works with Discover and in fact gives you more articulations, though they don't play "correctly" as part of Spitfire's compatibility thing. So you can exchange things with say teachers/etc. I even stripped it down for just what's in Discover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I signed up, but still don't know what to do? It said something about filling 14 days after you completed your application. What Application? Max Arwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan M Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 You could send the template to Spitfire Audio, so Cakewalk will get a mention in this template list: https://www.spitfireaudiothepage.com/posts/discover-templates 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Arwood "Log in (or create a new account), fill out our questionnaire, and we'll send you a FREE download after 14 days" I clicked the free link, created an account, filled out the questionnaire, and about 2 weeks later I got the download link ? If mentioning an application I believe they are referring to a completed questionnaire. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Wilby Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thanks @Promidi. I tried that but it didn't work. What I've also noticed is that, when I do add the image, an asterisk doesn't appear in the title bar to show that the file has been edited, even when I "run as administrator". Having said that, the image is still in the "notes" after restarting CbB but it doesn't appear on the start screen for my template. It's the recommended size too, 600 x 600. I'm rather confused ?

Promidi Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just tried it here and it worked fine. This is with Cakewalk by Bandlab 2023.09 Build 62. I copied the BBCSO Discover.cwt to my Projects Templates folder as defined in Preferences - File - Folder Locations > Templates Enabled the start screen (I do not have this enabled for my day to day). Closed and reopened CbB. The “New” section indeed showed the correct image for the BBCSO Discover template. I think the asterisk doesn't appear in the title bar to show that the file has been edited is probably because the same image is already in the template and technically, and file has not changed.

Keith Wilby Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thank you so much for going to all that trouble @Promidi. I think I have not been concise in my question. I have made my own template and I wanted an image to be associated with it. The image for the BBCSO Discover template works fine for me too but I just can't get my image associated with my template using the described method. I am also using Cakewalk by Bandlab 2023.09 Build 62. Sorry for the confusion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I tried it here as well. Could not get it to work with a template. Projects work fine, just not project templates. I even tried loading the BBCSO PNG file from the template zip file - nada! Must be a bug. (can't even try a previous version of CbB) FWIW you could log a ticket with CW support. Mind you, I don't hold much hope, as this version of CbB might not get any more fixes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Template File and PNG picture Must have the same name in the same folder. If you edit the template, remove old picture, add this in the Notes and save. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 5 hours ago, Patrick Wichrowski said: Both Template File and PNG picture Must have the same name in the same folder. Yeah, that works. It’s still a bug though. No where in the CbB help file does it say about having to have the png file in the Project Templates folder for it to show up in the Start screen. There is no such requirement for CbB Project files - the PNG file shows up even if the PNG file is not present. The image data is embedded in the project file itself as it is in the Project template file. I guess this will be fixed in the pad version when it’s released. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Like this? Still doesn't work for me. But I've also noticed that, if I remove the image from the notes in the BBCSO template, the image still shows up on the welcome screen, so I'm guessing that there's something not quite right about how CbB is installed on my PC. I'm not expecting you guys to spend any more time on this, thanks very much for helping ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
