Studio is finally up but with problemsKevin:
Does your jaws ask you to authorize? Of course you know that you can't run
Jaws in demo mode. What kind of midi interface are you using?

Dear All,
After four months, and a Far East Tour, I finally have the studio
back up, sort of. The problems are these:
1. Both JAWS 7 and 8 say that they are in demo mode. Also, while Sonar 5
will come up, Sonar 6 goes to time trial mode which has expired. I had a
product registration code in my e-mail for Sonar 6 but that appears not to be
the same as an activation code, or vice-versa. I guess I fired the machines up
with some piece of hardware configured just slightly differently than it had
been in the old house. Actually, I did fire the computer up just to se if it
would boot up before I connected all my audio devices. So, that might account
for that problem a la the Tascam 1884 SNAFU. Whatever the case, it still ticks
me off.
2. This is the more important problem. I'm not getting two way
communication in either Sonar 5 or Sonar 6 with my current rig. If I'm at the
desktop with no apps running, I can hear my Triton keyboard play. Local is
off. However, when I fire up Sonar 5, the only one that will run, see above, I
don't hear any sounds from my MIDI keyboards. I have enough vision to see that
I am getting lights on my MIDI IN, but nothing on my MIDI OUT. Also, none of my
soft synths will play.. AS you might expect, when I'm at the desktop with no
apps running, I will see all the MIDI OUT lights flash when every note is
played. That suggests that the hardware is working normally. However, I
should hear both my Triton keyboard and my Kurzweil K2500R play in that
situation. The Korg plays but the Kurzweil does not and I don't see any MIDI
activity lights on the Kurzweil, which I should.
For the record, Sibelius does seem to function fine. It did say that
my MIDI devices had changed when I first fired it up, but quickly choosing
devices brought the expected results.
Last, both my versions of Cake Talking, for both Sonar 5 and Sonar 6,
as well as Sibelius Speaking are now claiming to be uppercased copies.
Albert, if you're reading along, can you e-mail me the authorization codes I
need to bring my CT and SS copies back from the dead? That would be Sonar 5,
Sonar 6 and Sibelius 3.
Thanks,
Kevin
