Load Saved Song

Grem_Songs · Post by **Grem_Songs** » Thu Jan 27, 2022 5:13 pm

I am trying to bring JS4 into a song I created a while back. I can get JS4 as a VSTi into the song, but when I try to load a saved song that I already made, it's not loading the song.

When I hit the Load command (from the Song drop down) nothing comes up. IOW, no window opens for me to select which save I want to load.

I am on JS4 4.5.0 Beta 1

Tried to load a saved song with a new project in Cakewalk and I am getting the same results.

Try saving your project and closing your DAW. Then reopen your DAW and see if you can load it.

No that didn't work.

I was just saving that song in another project version. I will try a few things out and see what I come up with.

OK sorry it didn't help then. There is an issue I reported to Ralph with 4.5.0 that when I first open my DAW and then Jamstix' GUI, I can load songs or restore points. However after the first time I close the Jamstix GUI, I can no longer load either after reopening Jamstix' GUI unless I close and reopen the DAW. Just starting a new project won't fix it.

It works as expected in Reaper. Will have to contact CW devs on this one.

That's funny. Reaper is the DAW I found the problem with. LOL

Just to make sureÃ¢â‚¬Â¦. Did you check BEHIND the DAW windows for the load window? I remember it doing that back in beta, I think.

This is also happening to me. So at first I thought the issue resolved itself. But it didn't. Still happening as you say.

That was one of the first things I did when the Load/Save window wasn't coming up. Thanks Jas.

I will have to correct myself AZ. It only works in Reaper on the first try. I (wrongly) assumed that it worked. Never tried it after closing and reopening the UI.

One thing I did notice between both CW and Reaper is that there appears a blank window in the taskbar next to the app that has JS4. I have two screen shots. One in CW and the other in Reaper.
