You realize this thread is over a year old. 🙄⏰

You should really watch the tutorials on basic recording as from what you have written you are way off the mark. It takes to long for me to type basic instructions and the videos do a great job of explaining. we have a tutorials sub forum here and I recommend the videos by Creative Sauce. it’s well worth the time spent when you start out.

Are you talking TRACKs or LANEs there's a difference. Lanes will be silenced.

There's lots of info about working with clips. I never work with loops so I am not the right person to answer, But there's another thread just a few days ago and it sounded pretty simple to make loops match the song. There will be a bunch of videos about it too. I only showed the length tool as that is the closest Cakewalk comes to varispeed. True Varispeed changes the tempo and the pitch.

I think the OP is just asking how to export the songs which Jonsey briefly answered. Myself from now on I'm waiting until there is a post count of 3 or more before I start typing. Has been a lot of 1 post topics lately.

The Process Length tool does not change the pitch of the audio and you can go a certain percentage without noticeable artifacts. Any process to audio can cause artifacts as it is just re-arranging the ones and zeros. I myself use wave lab for this as I find the quality a little better. But I did try the Cakewalk tool a few times without audable issues. Can't remember the amount but I think I was only after speeding up a whole song by 20 BPM. I only processed the Mastered stereo file, not the whole multi track.

In Cakewalk it’s found in the process menu.

That’s right. Cakewalk is a standard windows program so all mouse behaviour is like any windows program. I do believe that for full touch screen behaviour the software needs to be designed from the ground up as in tablet or phone OS Cakewalk is pure windows 100% I think Bandlab would be touch screen friendly

@Joel Stolarski Then you need to use the percussion setting in Melodyne. I would also try Drum Replacer it creates 3 tracks and you can mess with the sensitivity to get better results. Then what I do is drag the drum replacer track to a midi track You will still need to move the notes to the correct key to trigger the sounds you want But Drum replacer can sort out a bit more than Melodyne will

@paulo So did you perform the loop back test and adjust your timing offset?

@Glenn Stanton Thanks for testing ASIO4ALL This verified the 2 possibilities. Either it would behave like ASIO and be right on time or it would behave like WDM and be late. So as reported by others is that Asio4all is really just WDM in a wrapper. Looking at your results they seem worse than what I got using my Realtek sound card without going through asio4all is it you RTL is less with Asio4all? The timing offset is one thing. But RTL is another. Not that I think you could ever get it low enough to be used with on board sound.

Obviously Mike is not an active forum member so unlikely he'll ever see your post, You need to start your own thread and state your issues clearly including system info like your audio interface etc. The more info the faster we can solve your problem. But start a new thread otherwise its a hijack which is confusing.

That's right, Your lucky it's CWP as that's the easiest of all formats to use in the new version. Just open the fines and sort out the few things that might not jive and your audio and MIdi should all be the exact same as when you saved it 15 years ago. As Treesha has said, it will only be any outdated plug ins and possible those were 32 bit anyhow, so good to start with new stuff.

In this video I explain about driver modes and how they work for using an Audio Interface that has ASIO drivers. At the very end I test on Board audio where you will see that my test showed that WASAPI exclusive was by far the best mode for a Realtech driver. I'm just working on a second video that goes into detail about using on board audio.

As a side note to this. You could even do that in the old Home Studio version of Sonar. It’s been built in to the core program for a long time now I mostly have converted all my analog bass tracks to midi for my backing tracks. This way every song is identical so the mix is consistent from song to song. I did this for probably 60 projects. There’s some minor editing always needed but it certainly works.

I use the conversion all the time. You drag and drop the audio to a midi track. Make sure to choose the correct setting.

Oh no. I have a sound craft signature 10 mixer and the driver was sort of ok definitely not as good as Focusrite Tascam or Motu. It’s made by Harman I think Harman is with Korg. but after one year of light occasional use at a few gigs it no longer works. It seems the connection port or possibly the chip inside is fried. This is unacceptable as I’m very careful about gear. I got no where’s on the user forum and with support. you are better off with a proper interface. Mixer interfaces seem iffy It’s a good mixer. The compressor sucked but it was best bang for the buck for channel count ant aux sends. All made in China even though it has British flag on it.

Why I like to have an on off switch on my interface but that is usually the solution

Seems mr twang leaves a trail of threads behind that he doesn’t respond to This is becoming annoying common especially on this Q&A forum

If you had read the release notes for the update you are told that it will ask you to install what you ignored. It’s needed for the way you can now update without the assistant Don’t blame people for not doing it as it seems like a scam. Badly done once again with that pita assistant

Make sure you midi device is checked in preferences /midi /devices as input

You did download the driver? And make sure your master bus didn’t change. Make sure you’re using ASIO and check the audio settings in preferences

I actually tried to test asio4all and had set everything up. But on the 2 computers I used ( no way it was going on my DAW ). I could not get an input from my on board. I tried everything and gave up because why should I bother. I don’t see the point in it anymore as my testing shows WASAPI exclusive will be just fine without having the invasive stuff that comes with asio4all. Another one I tried was this viocemeeter app. It was also invasive. It also did nothing my on board doesn’t already do. There was also a huge noise floor with it. So that’s not on my list of on board options. I’m thinking of making a tutorial on optimized on board sound for recording. I actually have a new respect for it’s limited but free uses.

You didn’t get the humor when I tossed the jug of wasabi in there. Thanks for the clarification. But my point is that if you use ASIO you don’t need to mess around with the offset. That’s what I said at the end. I think there people blindly using the other modes and oblivious to the timing offset function. There’s also a lot who don’t understand why you need to use direct monitoring on most systems.
