I am not a professional arranger by any stretch, but for scoring Davinci Resolve is what I go to. It's got a daw built in, and it's editing features for video are pro level. Me personally, I'll never leave sonar/cakewalk, unless it dies again, but for video/film I don't touch it. Oh, also, davinci has a free version that is full functional, with the exception of some fancy effects plugins for video. Which in your scenario shouldn't be a problem. Just my 2 cents, good luck.

100% agree. Nothing against creative sauce, I follow him on youtube, but I was sent to groove3 when I was a noob intern years ago (SONAR PE 6), and have recommended to people new to platform even during the CBB years. They really know their stuff.

That's a good tip. Thanks JohnnyV

Hey David, yeah that's it pretty much. The inability to fine tune that part of the process. If I move it from zero to try and get a tighter sync, I can't ever get it back, unless I remove the region effect as a whole and then start over. It's a bummer cause I think drum replacer, sonically, is better than a lot of plugins that do the same thing. I guess I'm just frustrated cause I've got something I need to get done. Thanks for trying to help though.

Hey Guys, I've been looking all over the forum and the old forums for sonar, and can't find an answer so hopefully someone here knows. I'm working on a project, and have drum replacer on a track. It's working as intended, but the playback is a bit off, but I can't get the sample head to lineup exactly with the sample start. Is there an easy way to get it to zero milliseconds? Thanks. If anyone's wondering it's the section marked G on the manual in the drum replacer section. Thanks!

I noticed I put this in the wrong section, sorry guys, I'll repost somewhere more appropriate.

Nice work!

Cool, thnx for the link

12?! 😂

It's funny because I run a powerful but pretty old rig, and windows ten was hell on it. As soon as I upgraded to 11 my rig came back to life. Knock on wood, besides yesterday, I hadn't had to many problems in the year or so I've been running it. I've liked it so much, I'm thinking of getting a newer desk workstation.

Thanks @Lord Tim

Well I don't know how to close a thread or marked things solved, so maybe the mods can help me with that. Either way, I figured out what was happening. The duplicate folder thing is a non issue. Turns out that in windows 11 if you go to the cakewalk projects folder and click the link short cuts to your actual project drive, it keeps the letter c in the folder display. In windows 10, this didn't happen to me. When I'd click through, it would show me the d drive. Either way, it was the D drive, and there was no double saving of projects happening. The other thing that I discovered, which is why I went troubleshooting in the first place, is that the issue of not being able to save because the drive was "full" popped up because of audiosnap. I had applied audiosnap to a section of audio, and that's when that problem of not being able to save popped up. As soon as I disabled audiosnap on that specific clip, everything went back to normal. Anyhow, just posting this in case anyone has the same issue happen to them, and maybe some bakers will become aware of the audiosnap issue. Thanks to @Promidi for patiently trying to help yesterday.

Thanks for trying to work this out with me. I get what you're saying, but in my case there is identical audio data files being written to both. I double checked this. It's not just a folder with a structure that's otherwise empty. Their identical down to the last edit. I honestly don't know what could've changed for this to happen.

Yes, mklinks. When I had set them up originally, it worked great. Nothing was being written to my os. I just checked again, and I confirmed it's writing identical copies of the same project to both os and external drives. It's driving me nuts cause I don't like doing anything to the os drive and seeing the amount of gigs written to it is raising my blood pressure!

Hey guys. A long time ago I setup my folders in cakewalk to point to an external drive. I used a method that @scook put up here somewhere where you use a powershell and point to the drive you want. Now that's worked great for me for literally years, but today while working on a session it wouldn't save, and kept saying my drive was full. So I ran a check on all my drives and they all came up ok. Then I started poking around, and I noticed that my projects where being written to both my external drive and my internal os drive. I've never seen this happen before. My last session shows up as last worked on today in both drives in the exact same location. When I tried re-doing the Scook powershell trick, it told me it already existed. How do I get it to stop writing in both places? This is sort of driving me nuts to be honest. Any help with this will be really appreciated.

Hey Ewoof, If you're willing to pay, you'd probably be better off checking out the engineers at soundbetter . com. There are literally mixers from all over the globe, and ranging from different experience levels and price points. It lets you filter out by genre, experience, price etc, so you can really narrow it down to what your looking for. After that, you can do research on people you've liked on google if you want to hear more of their stuff. I personally think it's a good service, but you'll have to try it and see if it fits what you're looking for. Good luck.

Thanks KSband, really appreciated!f Second time here someone's mentioned the bass thing. I've got crap monitoring, but I'll try and keep that in mind for next time, thanks. Thanks Jack.C Hey Nigel, I understand how you feel, and personally, I agree, but it's where people are currently, so I just deal with it. I don't have a following like that, if I did, I'd use my own website. Thanks Deering, much appreciated!

Hey Guys, I changed the post to make it easier for those that don't like spotify. I'll try and keep it in mind next time.

Oh, Sorry about that Jack C., no worries. It's ok, no worries. Hey David, I appreciate the feedback, dully noted, and thanks for listening!

I'm sorry Jack C, I didn't quite understand, am I not allowed to share Spotify links? If that's the case, I apologize, I didn't know.

This is my most recent track. It's latin pop, I know not everyone's thing around here, but I do everything in cakewalk, and thought I'd share. Edit: Made some changes to the post as per suggested by folks in the forum. Thanks guys. Spotify
