34" Samsung Ultrawide Issue with Cakewalk Plugin UIs
Amberwolf replied to sjoens's topic in Feedback Loop
If you force the 34" to the same res as the 29", what happens? -
But...it shouldn't have to be "got around". If they are allowing it to be got around they are allowing existing users to use it so they ought to just let existing users use it. Not have to dick around to get it.

Noob-friendly "Bring all notes to the same volume" question?
Amberwolf replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
True... if you don't have a compressor, limiter, compander, etc., that has that function, then if you put it in a bus and route your track to the bus, you can turn on waveform preview for that bus and also see the results. -
Most bizarre issue with new 34" Samsung ViewFinity S5 monitor (3440x1440) when it's zoom is 125% or higher. Issue: Oversized buttons and text. Affects: most Cakewalk plugins. Issue persists when UI is opened after screen zoom is set to 125% or higher. No issue if screen zoom is 100% before UI is opened even if zoom is changed afterward. No issues with 29" LG Ultrawide (2560x1080) monitor.

AI and the future state of music creation
Tony Carpenter replied to Mr. Torture's topic in The Coffee House
I too jumped on Suno, I uploaded a few of my songs that I recorded, everything from a straight acoustic guitar and vocal to a finished recording. The results are astounding and very natural sounding at least in the genres I have chosen so far. It's ability to listen to my melodies and rhythms and translate them to something almost entirely new is well.. amazing. It's putting my over half a century of song writing in serious question LOL> -

Synth rack options for Toontrack Superior Drummer multiout
Chaps replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Yes. In Superior Drummer 2 if you insert the synth with the First Synth Audio Output, if you look at the mixer all the instruments are routed to S1/2. which is the master stereo output, and the buses are routed to 'None'. You can right-click the instrument Output and keep it Stereo, select Multichannel which puts the instruments on sequential stereo outputs, or manually select an output channel for the instrument (or bus) you want to assign to an audio track. Then on the audio track you use those channels as the input. -

I was disappointed to read in this post below: “Please note that this offer is only available to new subscribers. If your current subscription is nearing its end during the sale, you can let it expire, cancel and then resubscribe to take advantage of this new discounted rate.” So, loyal users (30+ yrs here) must pay full price ($150) to stick around, while newbies pay less than half ($70)? My subscription renews Jan 11. So I’m supposed to cancel today, and sign up tomorrow? What does “nearing its end during the sale” mean anyway? Is there a date range that qualifies? I looked for a customer service email but couldn’t find one. Really sad.

Not only that, but it is actually available now for people that have access to such things (i.e. MComplete, and I'd assume other bundles that have it) Included mics looks like it is off to a good start, hope they do continue to add more. Certainly some surprises of what they did include - but some industry standard things that lots of people would have to record with are also missing.

If you VST effects and instruments are not about the Cakewalk/Sonar Vsts, you should be fine in that area. I did not read anything about free Sonar that would not allow 3rd party VSTs to work. I hope this chart helps you: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/49546667908121-Sonar-Free-Tier-vs-Membership-Tier

I just downloaded the package from the link in the first post and indeed Dear VR Monitor is missing from the download.

Synth rack options for Toontrack Superior Drummer multiout
Bass Guitar replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
I’ll have to try this tomorrow morning but I always thought that you could only choose multiple outputs when you first inserted the synth. But then I have never tried inserting a few audio tracks and seeing if you could set them up as the optional outputs from a synth. Im thinking you’d have to first assign them in the synth mixer first before Sonar would see them. -

Synth rack options for Toontrack Superior Drummer multiout
Chaps replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Another option in addition to what @57Gregy posted is to insert necessary audio tracks and change the track input to the synth instrument you want playing on it. Like if you wanted all the drums on on stereo track but wanted separate tracks for the snare and kick drums, for example. -
Noob-friendly "Bring all notes to the same volume" question?
Amberwolf replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
If you are using mono clips, just use the snap function with only the landmark of audio zero crossings enabled, so your cuts or slipedits all end up on one. If your'e using stereo clips that rarely works out. -

Noob-friendly "Bring all notes to the same volume" question?
Amberwolf replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Normalizing something only raises the clip's highest peak to the normalized level. If you have many notes of different volumes within a single clip, it will not bring up the lower ones to the same level as the higher ones. You'd have to split all the notes into separate clips first, then normalize each one. To do this without splitting into separate clips per note, you need to use a compressor or compander (compressor/expander). One "easy" way to do it with these is if you have the old VX-64 that used to come with Sonar (maybe still does?) it has a number of good squashing presets you can modify to do what you want. -
Noob-friendly "Bring all notes to the same volume" question?
Chaps replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Splitting clips and using normalize is how I usually level-out my audio but splitting a clip can be produce annoying clicks it you don't make sure the audio is at zero where you split it. Cakewalk has a tool called Enable/Disable Automatic Crossfades which can keep that from happening. See image below on the options it has. I keep it enabled unless I have a reason to disable it. Really, though, it would be in your best interest to learn the basics of compression because it can be very useful in the situation you describe. There are many informative videos on YouTube about it. Here is a good place to start because it covers the basics of compression. Splitting clips and adjusting the volumes through gain or normalization is a blunt-force process and can be time consuming. I think it is best to know how to use both methods so you can use the one that works best for any given situation. https://youtu.be/B20p-G-SBLw?si=PplJ3Y8lY43zFcwP -

57Gregy replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Normalize raises all the levels to approximately equal volumes as set by you. You may also split your quiet parts from the rest of the clip and apply Clip Gain until they're the same level as the rest of the track. -

Hi! In order to use multiout for Superior Drummer, you need to access a setting in the synth rack. These options are displayed when adding Superior Drummer as a NEW synth...but it is already in my project with a edited midi in it. Is there a way to access the synth rack options of the already loaded Superior Drummer instead of greating a new synth with it?
-
Me, too. Core Plug-ins are not included with the Sonar Free Tier. There are several threads around here about what is and is not included, maybe on the Announcements page. There is currently a great offer for CaSon at a steeply reduced price... for new users only. But they add that you can let your current subscription expire (if it's near that time) and you can get the deal. Check out the staff post at the top of the main forum page. You can get the deal since your subscription has expired.
