I'm sure its because I don't understand the program, but the above statement you have on your site is pure ****

sorry, but we can't help you if you don't have a question.

I've bought many a programs, and I thought this one was a good one, maybe it is, but somehow or another I don't seem to get along with it.

I knew there was a strong learning curve. Its on a level way above Sony Vegas and lots of other programs.

I believe I don't have all the files I'm supposed to have. This was the download version, I d/l from cakewalk for 34 and change.

Is there someway I can determine if I have all the required files. I have a list of what is on the pc but it is way  too long to post here.
Thanks

why do you think you don't have all the files?

again - you're not giving us any information about your problem for us to be able to help you.

[size=2 font="times new roman"]Hi,

Yes, Music Creator is[and will be] frustrating but if you download the tutorials from Cakewalk.com/Owners/MusicCreator5 and 'have a stab at it' until you 'hit a brick wall' then let the folks here know what it is you are doing and where you are stuck, they will try to guide you through the problem.  I know I can't make head nor tails of the manuals myself but the people here will [re]write in plain terms if that is what you need.

Regards to all,

Vincent.

Sure would be nice if folks would say stuff like " I downloaded this and i can't get any sound, or It will not open , i seem to get a rash when i record", or whatever, but it does not work is really hard to help with.

happens all the time.

Beag you forum hopper!!

Ok let's be serious here for a moment. I also am trying to figure out what to do, so I guess I will post here. I can't figure out how to pull up the instruments (in program, not separate) and record from there, without having to plug in my own instuments. I did the whole tutorial as much as i could, and looked into the faq guide under help. Still puzzled as to how to actually PLAY the instruments in the program, and record the sound once I have the notes and chords I need. any help?

Yeah... let me expand on this post..... bored.... nothing else to do.

Follow the directions on my web site to get the INSTRUMENT inserted in the project.

Instruments that play themselves do exist BUT... they offer little control over certain parameters. Most people do play the guitar or a keyboard fairly well so they use those to input the music (guitar) or keyboard (Music or data) into an audio track or in the case of the Cakewalk Soundcenter instruments..... a midi source track.

To record: get the instrument set up (inserted) and working properly. Then simply arm the track and press start.... start playing. The program will record the notes you play. When you play it back, you should hear the music you just played.....

it not.... well, post here and tell us all the details.

It really helps if you are using an external sound card or otherwise called an interface, as opposed to using the built in factory sound card..... they are horrible...... latency and other issues... so if yo plan to do this much, you'll want an interface.
