Guitar Tracks Pro v3.0 problems
Hi just bought GTpro v3.0 on loaded it on to my laptop which has windows vista on it but when i try playing audio i get no sound, i have assigned the sound card in the options menu and made sure that all the fades on up on the windows sound card, any one any ideas why i have no sound on play back?
I guess GTpro v3.0 is compatible with windows vista?
Im using the Demo file to test but still no look
Every thing works fine apart from no sound
Cheers for the help
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy and welcome.
Two things about running GTP3 on Vista. You will need to run it in compatibility mode and Vista is not officially supported.
In order to set GTP3 to run in compatibility mode go to Start> All Programs> Cakewalk > and right click on Guitar Tracks Pro 3. Select "Properties."
In the Properties Window select the "Compatibility" tab and click on the check box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and in the drop down select "Windows XP SP2." In the "Privilege Level" section of the same tab select "Run this program as Administrator." The select "Ok."
One of the things I found in using GTP3 on Vista, at least on my machine is it only likes 2 kinds of drivers. ASIO and MME. WDM drivers just don't work right under the Vista environment using GTP3. So what you will want to do is go to Option > Audio go to the Advanced tab and select MME for your driver type. Click Ok and then exit out of GTP3. Reopen the program. and go back to the Options > Audio selection. Now on the General tab select you sound card. Set the Buffer Size to fast. If the play back starts to chunk go back to the audio option and increase the buffer size till the chunking goes away. Be aware that the internal audio card is not designed to handle pro-audio and that latency will be an issue.
I like others here recommend that you use an external audio interface. You can get them for anywhere around $35 to $200 for a decent low cost card that will reduce or eliminate the latency issue.

Hi, I just got a new laptop which has Vista on it. I tried following your instructions and got as far as selecting "properties" but then there's no "compatibility" tab for me to click on? It's probably me...but any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

What you are donig wrong is running Vista. No version of Guitar tracks is supported on Vista.
If it worked correctly on Vista it would be supported. Some people here will tell you that its possible to run it on Vista, but remember it is not designed fo Vista and you will potentially have problems.

Hi there Gina and Jimmy - let me echo Robert's and Doc's welcome to you both.
After a few of the inevitable teething troubles and following some excellent input from Doc, my Guitar Tracks Pro 3 and Vista now work flawlessly with each other - in fact, I also have GTPro 2 running on Vista, and even my treasured old GT2, which incidentally isn't supported in XP, let alone Vista, works like a dream in compatibility mode.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that most of my older programs run OK in Vista - in fact since I moved on from XP, only two programs I use regularly have resisted all attempts to get them to run - and Windows even told me this before I got to install them [Nero 6 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 as it happens, I now run Nero 8 and Elements 5 instead].
Just to emphasize the point, the "only thing you are doing wrong" is not trying to run GT3 in Vista, what you are doing right, however, is ignoring PistolPete and taking some of the genuine advice that's on offer in here!
Good luck
Steve

GinaG65, I have the same problem you had. New laptop with Vista. No compatibility tab in GTP3 properties. What did you guys do to get the program to work? Thanks, Johnny

Hi there Johnny - welcome to the forum Did you work through Doc's post above - the filepath will take you straight to the GTP3 icon in the Cakewalk folder. Steve

Thanks for your welcome into the forum, Steve.
I got through all of the Compatibility Wizard ok. I also got through the install steps of my disc except at the very end when the install starts an error window comes up saying: The file 'C: Window\system32\msvcp60dll' could not be opened.
So it seems it's trying to install to the wrong destination file instead of 'C: Program Files\Cakewalk\Guitar Tracks Pro 3 file which is the destination folder I selected.
There's probably something simple I'm doing wrong but just can't figure out.
Thanks,
Johnny

We'd be more inclined to listen to you if you could get it to work on XP... I'm surprised you're not saying the problem is CWGTP 3

Hi there Chris  What soundcard are you using? There's probably an easy solution to this problem once we know more about your signal-flow  Steve

I don't actually know...
I run to a Dell Vostro 200, So i guess the soundcard i have would be the one that comes in the package with that. I can't seem to find any info on the soundcard when i google the computer, sorry.

Hi again Chris To find the name of your soundcard, double click on the loudspeaker icon in your system tray (bottom right of the screen, by the clock) - this opens the audio mixer and the name may be displayed. If it isn't follow this pathway: Start > Control Panel (Classic View) > Device Manager (click Allow when prompted) Click on the + sign next to Sound, video and game controllers - your soundcard will be listed there.

Ok so I just got guitar tracks pro 3 and It installed fine, but the problem I'm having is the use of audio effects and virtual amplifiers. I'm unable to get them to work, whenever I try selecting ones like my VST sound devil amplifier, it wont let me. Anyone know how to get virtual amps to comply with GTP3?

Hi there Ninja Here we go: - Open a New Project in GT3 - Connect your guitar (let us know how you do this) - make sure you can hear it (we can help if you can't) - Make sure you're in the Mix View - In Track 1, right click in the FX Bin and select Audio Effects > VST - you should see your amp simulator listed, if you can, click on it to insert it in the FX Bin. If you can't see it - we can help. - Click on the Input Monitoring (Echo) button of Track 1 - you should now hear the processed guitar signal when you play, albeit there might be an echo (this is called 'latency' - we can help with this) - Press R to arm the track and then the Record button on the Transport to start recording. The most important thing here is that, although you can hear the effect, GT3 won't actually record it - just the dry, unprocessed signal. When you play back your recording however, the signal will be played through the amp sim. If the latency echo is too long to work with, you can turn off input monitoring - GT3 will still record the dry signal as above. Most guitarists like to record with effects though, we can help you try and get the echo down to usable levels if that's what you want to do though. Let us know how far you get with this plan - we'll soon get you up and running WN. Steve

Ok, the usb adaptor I have is called rock frog. I plug the male end of that adaptor into it, then run a cable on the female end of the rock frog unit and it goes directly into my amp. I used the process for vista by doing the MME driver, I also have the ASIO driver which I'm not sure if that effects anything regarding the usb unit. So far I hear my guitar with the echo it doesn't sound very clear at the moment so it may be due to the latency. I got the VST FX running now. I would like to get the echo down to usable levels for recording in clean tone, lead distortion, and rhythm distortion for the songs I'm writing.

You may want to make sure you have the updated Cakewalk VST adapter.
