Hi, I'm trying to select multiple tracks and export them using "Tracks though entire mix" so that each track goes through the bus processing I have on the master bus. It goes through each track, exporting slowly because of the processing. But then, it only makes one exported track, after all that! What am I doing wrong? I've done this before but not sure why it's not working now. It should be making multiple exports of each track I have selected. Do I have to create a task or something? Kind of confusing. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Solution found. Don't know why they won't let you delete a post. Thanks

Its not video editing to export a small clip. They should remove the option if it doesn't work.

Thanks but that method is absolutely ridiculous. No one is expecting CW to be a video editor, just simply render out a small clip of a project with the video included. It says "Export to video" in the file menu, then it should do that. People that want to do this are not editing video. They are scoring music to picture, and when working on a 2 hour film, constantly going to other programs to do a simple task like this is not something a composer has time for. Cakewalk's dealing with video has been such a joke. The folks updating the program should really look at decade old problems rather than redesigning the parts of the program that already work. "Select all, highlight a region and export to video file" that is how simple it should be.

Hi, I have a video in cakewalk that I'm doing some music on. I wanted to export a short region of it as a video/audio file. I select a region and export the video. It exports the entire video though, not the region I selected! (I say select all, then chose the region, even tried turning on loop. It doesn't render the full audio, it renders what I selected, but not the video. How do I do this?

Nope. I think it was just that particular file.

Tried it again this morning, the multiple tracks brought into melodyne seemed okay, but there were some tiny glitches, very hard to detect but there. Back to bringing them in individually! My friend doesn't have this issue in Cubase.

I've found the solution to this issue. In Cakewalk, if you have clips that have been slip-edited or have fades on them, and you choose multiple tracks like this and try to bring into melodyne region effects, they get all garbled up and glitched. However; if you bounce the files to clips first, it works fine to import multiple clips. Perhaps people not having this issue were simply bringing in clips that were not edited/faded etc. (I think?) The weird thing is, if I have a single track with edits and fades, it works fine, only happens on multiple track/clips Anyhow, it works if you bounce to clips first. Cheers Jono

Ya, the manual method is best but you end up spending time filling gaps that AS would just stretch...

I think the take away here is to gate the heck out of everything before creating a mix to add to the clip pool. And yes, the Radius mix algo is best for this.

For sure! Audio snap is getting better though! Sometimes useful for a fast project.

Hi, question regarding Audio Snap: I have a live drum kit, I turn off any effects and bounce all the tracks to a single track, I apply audio snap to that mixdown in order to add the clip to the pool and then I can apply those markers to my individual drums tracks. In the attached image, you'll see that audio snap will sometimes add double transients to a single drum hit. I have to go through and delete the unwanted transient markers. My question is, why does it do that? and also, which marker is best to delete? The one sitting right on the drum hit or the doubled marker that is either before or after the hit. This is such a powerful feature, it would be great if it was more consistent in tracking. Any info appreciated, thanks! Jono

Again, the new export window is screwing up things related to broadcast waves. Not exporting by default if it's set to. Also, after exporting one BCW it will reset to standard Wave (sometimes) random behavior Anyhow, if it's set to export BCW by default it should always be set to that when opening the export window. Small bug here I think

Interesting replies! Thanks

This setting no longer works. It keeps defaulting to a standard wave file even though this setting is checked. FYI

Has anyone had this mysterious black, horizontal line show up in their Cakewalk session? (See image) It stays in the same spot if I scroll up and down. So, it's randomly just sitting there. Not attached to any one track, I don't think. Anyone see this before?

This is still happening. Nothing set wrong just not bouncing the audio. Never had this problem before. Been using the UAD stuff for about 6 years. Something weird in recent Cakewalk updates.

20 year CW user, for sure I know where all the settings are. It's ignoring them. I have zero changes set and it will still save every time I push stop it seems. Only on a heavy file with lots in it but still , it's weird. Also, if I ever crash, it's usually at the exact same time as an auto save is being created.

Hmm. It could also be sound card related. UAD Apollos I rebooted the computer and the Apollos and it did a normal bounce.

If I remove the external insert it bounces file.

No, I mean I'm bouncing the whole 3 minute song and it only renders a small snippet of audio at the beginning

Sometimes I get a message that the audio mixdown was corrupt, and then it crashed Cakewalk. Something's weird.

Hi, I've been getting issue where I bounce down a mix, I am using an external insert on a drum buss. When the bounce is finished, there's only about half a bar of audio. I've tried different buffer sizes and rendering in real time with and without audible mixdown. I assume it has something to do with the external insert but not sure. I've only been seeing this since they upgraded the export window. Anyone else having an issue like this? Thanks, Jono

I set it to 10 minute autosave only. There is no value set for amount of changes. Yet, it saves all the time! This is on files that have a fair bit going on, but still, why is it saving so much if set to 10 minutes? Also, if I ever crash, it is always at the same time as an autosave...

It's also worth noting that any time I have a crash in CW, it is at the exact same time as an autosave occurs. 100% of the time. I've raised this issue for years and years. CW autosave is messed up. It doesn't respect anything you have set in the preferences as far as zero changes, or setting a time limit. It simply doesn't work. I wish CW would look at these issues that have been present for ages. JG
