  1. I don't follow this logic? If you turn off the tempo map and record midi then turn it on the midi will be out of since to what ever you recorded using the tempo map. The whole idea behind creating a tempo map from say dragging an audio clip to the timeline, is so then midi will follow the audio in sync to the grid. Midi will always follow the tempo changes if you play along with the metronome and then quantize to fix any timing errors.
  2. By Historically do you me I used to have? I don't see one there now? Unless you mean the CA-2A which is what I have been using on my Master bus. But it seemed to let a lot of peaks get by.
  3. You should remove ASIO4all, It is interfering with your audio system, This is a known issue. Only use the ASIO driver supplied by your device manufacture. Uninstall asio4all including in the REG Edit under Local Machine/ Software/ASIO
  4. Not that I use these, but I do think the Lyrics view, Staff View and the Playlist seem outdated. I remember complaints about these on the old forum.

    Realtek ASIO issue

    Go to the tutorials sub forum and near the top right now is a series called Cakewalk Owners manual the first video shows you how to properly set up audio and use the drivers. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/
  6. Yes it's a topic with a huge amount of info on the net. And the threshold does depend on where the song is going. CD's are often pushed right to 0 but that's not a good idea if your converting to a MP3. And all the on line delivery formats are a bit different but -14 LUFS seems standard. Been playing with the combo of the Loud max and the You Lean as in Cactus Video and wow, this is perfect. I've been fighting this for years. I was just using a Compressor on the master, not a brickwall. I don't think Cakewalk has a brickwall?
  7. Here is 3 essential tools for basic mastering. They are free. I watched this video the other day and that's where I found the Loud Max. It's amazing but don't overdo it. https://loudmax.blogspot.com/ https://www.voxengo.com/product/span/video/ https://youlean.co/youlean-loudness-meter/

    Out Of Tune

    A common cause is somehow your sample rate has changed. Like if your project was 44.1 and you watch a movie windows might switch to 48.
  9. I love it when even the staff are not sure. You need to check the box shown here. I set it to Recording and I don't check the icons in the Transport module. I get a 2 bar count in before the transport moves. You can see I had to add a new bus as the default when there is none is directly to your sound card or interface. But the bus is nice for control of the level. I always add the count in using a side stick or a hi hat in measure 2. I leave measure one blank. I just draw the notes in PVR.
  10. If what you want to do is create stereo wave files of your finished projects possibly do what I have always done. Export the entire mix. Use the export dialogue and choose Entire Mix or whatever format you need. I then bring the tracks back into a new project for mastering.
  11. Most certainly a good idea for back ups but the OP is wanting to save there projects as they work to a different drive. As Mr Cook has pointed out there is a field in Preferences folder locations you can easily change to your data drive. First thing I do after I set my Audio and midi up when I open a new install of Cakewalk.
  12. This is cool, Now I can dig out the White Album and see how many "Paul is Dead" I can find 😁 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/paul-mccartney-is-dead-conspiracy-897189/
  13. I just learned a new word! I thought the OP had meant Bit Rate or Bit Depth, but Bitness actually seems the correct term. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bitness
  14. I found this series in the Tutorials forum, This seems to cover everything starting from Audio and Midi. I watched most of the first 5 and I thought they were easy to follow . Looks like John, the author, is still working on a them.
  15. You can just automate the instrument tracks volume using the envelope lane. Midi is to weird to make it work right. I do all panning and levels in the instrument/ audio track.
  16. Yes, A CWP but without the audio, Use " save as" and uncheck the copy audio with project box. Or even if you just copy/ paste the orange CWP icon from the projects folder to One Drive or? The project will just open complaining about missing files that's all. Either way it's the midi part that needs to be looked at. Here I just did that, I just dragged the CWP file to the blue thing at the bottom. AT the HOP.cwp
  17. I'll second that observation. One thing that happens to me is some track templates will add a new master bus? And because I used a different audio interface a few years ago they are not set to the correct input even though both interfaces were Focusrites and set to either channel 1 or 2. Still a lot less work than starting from scratch. Oh and I new exactly what John was talking about when he called a split instrument tack an audio track. That's how I've always thought of them. Split or Simple, they to me are treated as audio tracks, they have Pro channel and audio effects. When recorded to, the Simple Instrument track records midi and the Split Instrument records audio. I think the confusion is they should have called a simple instrument tracks a Combi Track and the Split Instrument a just an instrument track period. I find the icons are arze backwards too.
  18. Funny I just learned this cool trick yesterday in this thread, Great job on the GIF by @msmcleod
  19. Well the solution is obvious. Just save it as a Normal file. Bundles have a history of becoming corrupted and are designed from the old days before hi bandwidth internet for sharing files,, not archiving. CWP files have proven to be future proof. I have files from 2006 that still open. Storage is cheap so there's not much gained buy compressing your finely crafted audio tracks. If the project plays fine why worry about saving a few MB over a file format that has a history of going corrupt.
  20. I've seen this sort of chart before but this one is ultra cool because it's interactive.
  21. Yes as above. You can do this in real time if you activate the "W" and all controls that can be automated will have a red outline. The track doesn't need to be in record mode for this. Now jut play the part and sweep the pan control at the spot you wanted this to happen. Now you can fine tune the envelope with the smart tool.
  22. Hmm, you might want to post a sample of the project. There doesn't need to be audio in it just the midi stuff. I haven't done this here yet but I think you can save it to a cloud server like one drive and share the link using the " Insert other media "? below,
  23. Is this just the TTS-1 or all instruments? And did you try opening the synth properties view from the synth rack? If you insert a new instance of the TTS-1 using ADD TRACK do you see the Synth Properties ( GUI)
  24. Not clear as I can assume possibly English is not your first language. But is seems you are trying to sing a vocal track at the same time as you are playing a pre recorded music track which is a minus 1 track from a CD? The Yamaha is a mixer with a stereo USB output. Couldn't find info but Yamaha uses Steinberg ASIO drivers. You should use that and make sure Cakewalk is in ASIO mode. With the mixer, Pan the mike hard left and the CD track hard right . Insert 2 audio tracks and set one tracks input to the Yamaha input 1 Left and the other to Input 1 Right so to create 2 mono tracks. The better option would be to copy the CD and drop the wave file into Cakewalk using the browser. Never done this but you can probably drag and drop directly from the CD. Then insert a new audio track and set the input to record your vocals from the mixer.
