MTuner - newbie Can't Get It Working

[hatflyer]

I'm unclear how MTuner works in Cakewalk Sonar X3. I have an audio track, and add the MTuner plug-in, where I get the user-interface. I see that the audio sound is being recognized, though no converted audio (my voice is all that is heard, not an instrument).

How do I convert the audio to MIDI?

Thanks.

Works in the free version

I did that. Where does the MIDI data go to?

[NTO]

It appears at the midi output of the plug. Don't use Sonar - easy in FL Studio.

Likely in here somewhere...

I only have Sonar.

So, as procedure, I add an audio track. I add the MTuner FX to it. Where does the MIDI track supposed to get made in this process?

I tried to take a look for you in Sonar, but it wasn't obvious to me how to do it. My advice would be to contact their support and/or look in Cakewalk forum to find out how to do it. I'm pretty sure it should be possible.
BTW, Cakewalk is free now! Why are you on version 3? If you go to Bandlab you can download the latest version for free and they are working on it still! They just released an update this month with new features and bug fixes etc. Pretty cool for a free DAW I'd say.

Motivated me to update my CakeWalk!
Usual deal - so simple it's hard to find.

I don't see the MIDI option on the VST drop-down menu (not VST 2). Only the Load/Save Presets and Banks, randomize and Plug-In Properties. That is is X3. Not sure if that matters.
Thanks.

Thanks.

It may have been added in a newer version.
Are you able to update?

I tried Version 14 and also tried V13.06.

I downloaded BandLab and the MIDI output is there. I'm still confused how to then link the output of this audio track to a MIDI track.

Set the input on the track you want to drive.

That's what I did. Do you simply hit play and the MIDI notes will show up there, or is there another step? Record on the MIDI track? What do you set as output of the audio track?

Thanks.

Yes.

Record on the MIDI track?

Wasn't, but yes, works.

What do you set as output of the audio track?

Mixer - master - default audio device.

That's what I did. No luck. Frustrating.
[it is now working. Thanks!]
