| Title: | Dimke Fake Date |
| Picture: |  |
| Explanation: |
The latest version of Cakewalk Pro Audio sequencer software for windows 3.1x
is still version 4.5. It worked fine for years, but with the beginning of
2003 it simply refused to process audio data. This effect had been discovered as a bug in the function
which is used to create the temporary wave files, containing the audio samples. So, you could do one of the following: Call Cakewalk hotline and tell them that you've discovered a bug in their win 3.1x software and ask them for a patch. (...LOL!...) But now, just serious: You can either go for a new version and hope that it will not only contain new bugs, but also some old problems are solved. Well. Or, perhaps you consider switching to an alternate product. ...Cubase, for instance. Well. Or, you could try working with "Dimke Fake Date", which is a workaround for the Cakewalk bug. |
| How it works: |
"Dimke Fake Date" is a true windows 3.1x application which
had been tested under Windows 3.11 For Workgroups and Windows NT4.0. |
| How to use: |
First, start Cakewalk, go to File Open dialogue, select the file containing
audio data ("Bundle" file), then start "fakedate.exe", either manually or
using a keyboard shortcut, then click on "OK" in Cakewalk. Now both processes, Cakewalk "load file" and the countdown in "Fake Date" run concurrently. When the time counter is down to zero, Fake Date automatically closes, but Cakewalk has its data in memory and the playback can be startet. Note: You can start the application as follows: "fakedate.exe seconds", e.g. "fakedate.exe 60", or, if no parameter is given to the program the default value of 10 seconds apply. |
