  1. I will third that, X3 was the first version of Sonar to support VST3 (and maybe ARA as well). I would encourage an update. That software will be totally unpredictable unless running on an older OS. However I typically reserve my suggestions to anyone on updating because I know sometimes you become comfortable with a DAW version and want to freeze yourself in that time because you know it's layout and features so well. However a never version will not be unreachable in terms of learning. It will be a lot different, but the rewards will pay off 10 fold.
  2. This sounds like a classic "Demo mode" protection. This happens with demo versions of plug ins.
  3. Might be the driver software. You may have to update it for Windows 11.
  4. This post hurt my brain. I began recalling all this old information like cheat codes to Atari Frogger. Anyway, the last version I was able successfully run on present day Windows was Pro Audio 9. I was fun for nostalgia purposes but nothing more than that. I wouldn't be able to work in an environment like that anymore.
  5. Bounce to clips is one of the most used features in Cakewalk if I had to guess. Anytime you send a project to someone, you take all those tiny fragments (smaller clips) and bounce them to one whole clip. You can also drag the first clip to the song start so they all line up. It's online bouncing, no FX are printed (unless you have clip FX/or pro channel in some cases- See post FX). Glad you are using this feature. It's a necessity. Cheers.
  6. I'm not sure when this stopped working but your right. Drag select doesn't work. It should work similar to volume automation.
  7. You're right. Just tested it again myself. I suppose one could argue it's clip gain (as in singular) Not clips gain 😀
  8. Have you tried dragging to select an area vs just selecting the clips themselves ? I suppose if there are spaces in-between it would potentially create an issue. but drag select works a charm.
  9. This is really the future of DAW mixing. Having a standard similar to midi. An interface which to translate projects from one DAW to another.
  10. Whatever this company decides for its future, It has already paid it forward. This DAW has been free for 5 years with continuous updates. I'm not sure how BPB has Traction #1 on that list. Cakewalk by Bandlab has way more features. I've been pleasantly surprised in the direction Cakewalk has taken. Anything they have offered the past 5 years was a free extra. It's been great.
  11. Removed comments to avoid escalation.
  12. It is possible theme editor can make things a little loose. What I mean is, if you created your own theme and made a lot of changes, button illumination can get lost
  13. Agreed. This has been a favorite amongst many cakewalk users for some time.
  14. Can't you collapse the lane then use "Delete special" to just delete the lane info ?
  15. I've begun doing some myself. Hope people find it helpful https://www.youtube.com/c/100chuckjones/videos
  16. One should leave a minimum of 500 milliseconds for the head (beginning) of a song that will be uploaded for streaming.
  17. Hope this is helpful to some. This is a real quick way to use fades for song tails (the end/fade outs).
  18. I've seen all these diagrams before but never in one comment. This is great thank you
  19. I suppose my gate example was on point but maybe I could have had a better example. I think the use of an Aux track or a parallel track would do the trick. It's ironic I always knew FX plug ins cascaded from one plug in to the next, I just never got deep into every single possibility of signal processing. That's what I've been trying to do lately. With the help of you, Steve and others here you've given me some insights. Thank you very much.
  20. You are correct and thank you for your reply, There are several different type of inserts that different boards have. I probably should have cleared that up in my initial comments. Some inserts bypass the pre amp. Some inserts also bypass onboard EQ. Some inserts (I believe) can also act as side chain for ducking purposes. Lets say for or example, if I were using a gate , I probably wouldn't want to gate every FX in the signal path. Instead, I would only want to gate the dry signal from the clip itself. Now theoretically I could make that gate the very first plug in but surely there has to be a way to add that gate to the dry signal without having to add it to the FX bin ? This is really for education purposes and not really any particular problem I'm having so I'm just doing this based on test purposes only, trying to find different methods. I Thank you and others for all info.
  21. Sometimes you want an EQ first, sometimes you want a compressor first. Sometimes you want to insert a plug in without having to make that plug in the front end of 5 other plug ins. I hope that makes sense. The same reason I have inserts on my analog gear that allows me to tap the audio signal without additional processing going on. What does a channel insert do? It is a point in the signal path at which the signal can be sent out of the channel or mix and then returned to its signal path at the same point it left, creating a signal loop. In other words, it allows you to “insert” an outboard (external) or virtual (internal or digital) device into the signal path
  22. This is also what I thought. I think an AUX track or even as you mentioned, a duplicate track (almost like parallel) but only send the FX signal to the routed destination. Thank you all so much. I really appreciate the feedback. These little obscurity's are the coolest things to discuss because they are hardly ever analyzed in detail. Again thank you all
  23. This is just a very hypothetical example: (not real) I want to have in my FX bin- EQ, Compression, Saturation. But now I want to use a de-esser but I don't want to put this de-esser with 3 other plug ins running into it (that have already processed the signal). I want to apply the de-esser to the unprocessed clip. But if I put that plug in inside of the FX bin, it wont be unprocessed. Unless of course I have the plug in first in cue.
  24. Thank you John and Tim. I totally understand the signal flow, it's more the processing flow I am inquiring about. See every plug in that is in the FX bin cascades into one another. Meaning that processed signal runs into the next (in line) plug in. So that next plug in is not processing a clean unprocessed signal, it is accepting an already processed signal. I want to be able to use an Insert and not have to have an already processed signal.
