Lost Note Sound in Score View GPO4 with Sonar 8.5 Producer over Window-7/64

[PabloMack]

Hi,

I posted this problem on the Cakewalk forum last Saturday. Lot's of looks but no replies in 3 days. I am using GPO4 and Sonar 8.5 over Windows 7/64. I use Score View mostly for composing with frequent tweaks in Event View. I need to hear the note when left-clicking a note when in Score View. When I have only one track, it works. But once I get two or more tracks, I can no longer press on a note and hear it. When I press play, I usually hear all notes but sometimes notes will not turn off and I can get several notes that stick on like our church pipe organ does sometimes when the weather is cold. Does anyone have any insight into these problems?

Investigate:

• does the note has velocity greater than zero?
• using ARIA player? when starting and stopping lots of times shortly one after another, sometimes you can get that ever continuing sound (at least I had).
• modwheel set for those other tracks (CC#1)?

I never compose using the Score View, so I don't have any experience with it and use it only for corrections. I cannot think of anything else, maybe somebody will help you any further.

Greetings and success,

Raymond

Hi Raymond62,

Note velocities are all 100%. I am using the Aria Player to generate sounds. I am not starting and stopping quickly like you say. As for the modwheel, I haven't ever dealt with it but it shouldn't matter because it works and then it doesn't.

I have played with it some more and have a better understanding now. My test project has five tracks, all string sections. When I press on a note in Staff View, I hear the note. I then play the piece by pressing the Space Bar and then I stop it after four measures by pressing the Space Bar again. The time indicator goes back to the beginning of the piece. I then can't hear sound after pressing any note. If I exit Sonar and then re-run it, I can then play individual notes once more until I play the piece. After that, I can't hear the notes any more when I press them.

Cakewalk tech support finally came back with a reply containing two useless suggestions. They also said that sometimes there are problems using audio that is integrated into the motherboard which is what I have. Maybe this is the problem. My old system XP/32 used integrated audio and I never had this problem before.

Good morning Pablo,

... and this may help.



When doing Zero Controllers when play stops, all controllers set are back to zero.
