Good list here. A little too much to be honest, its overwhelming. Might have been better to split these up in separate threads. But im not sure how you could without it looking like you created 20 threads. This is pretty good info for the bakers. Its appreciated. You can drag one clip on top of another and bounce to clips. this merges clips in 3 clicks. I would agree a merge button might be nice but where to put it in an already bogged down menu. I was able to crash cakewalk for the first time in probably a year after following your recipe. As far as Staff view goes, im not sure. Hopefully they show some fixes but that thing has been simply "only maintained" since it's inception, not improved. - Hey..This is helpful man. As a user of cakewalk, thanks for posting this detailed list. I'll write up the crash in lyric view later on today and hopefully its fixed by next release. Unless you already have. We might not always see eye to eye on issues but I have to respect this list you have compiled.

I would as well, but imagine the data needed to be stored in memory to do this. A lot of destructive editing was put in place years ago when the software was trying to save on resources. Now that technology has grown with RAM sticks at 16GB im sure more will be possible in the future.

Now a day where almost everyone is online, why not just open a browser ? The whole manual is here, including all New features https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.01.html

Wish I had an easy answer for you my friend. Its working here in build 70 as I tried it out after reading your response on this thread. What I didn't try was midi tracks in folder. Maybe we can repro this. Are they all Audio tracks ? Are the clips in a folder ? Any region FX in these clips ? Any frozen tracks ? Sorry I know a lot of questions. just trying to get to the bottom of it.

I am interested in picking up a touch screen myself. have been for a while now. Back to your problem, It appears to be a focus issue which is typical. You must first set focus by touching the fader, then the second touch will command fader movements. It is evident by watching you as soon as you touch the fader, you can clearly see the fader becomes focused (the track meter becomes highlighted). This is done with a mouse differently because clicking on the mouse accesses focus instantly and them mouse movement changes fader values. Its going to take a double click in your instance. Normally a mouse double click would reset the fader value to 0db (or your set snap value). But in your case touch needs to have focus first.

That's a great idea. Would be nice to have a group of people in our areas that held a course every month or so. I suspect with the strides we have made using online video chat, this will be possible in a few years.

Normalizing wont change dynamics at all. It only changes the signal level. I know this may sound confusing but as an example, a compressor will change dynamics, Normalizing is like a boost/cut of signal, Turning up/down every level on that track (including peaks and valley's) vs. a compressor which squashes). I even confuse myself when explaining that

Click: Views>Lyric view. You can grab the Tab/Tabs in the lower right hand corner of the Multidock and drag them anywhere. Or alternatively, right click on those tabs and choose "Undock".

I loved serial/key registration but unfortunately, its a thing of the past. Software authorization has (and still is) moving in another direction than it was in the mid 2000's compared to now. More and more software is moving to online authorizing. Could be worse. Registered any Adobe products lately ?

Hold the shift key / then click and drag ? Try closing the project and reopening, maybe something got corrupt somehow. Its working here Rod (that includes: SHIFT vertical + horizontal).

I was going to mention that as well. The select tool enters note on single click as well. And very easy to pull up using F5-F11 or Tools HUD.

Slightly off topic, This feature request/feedback loop seems to be one of the more disorganized messes on this site. I know that might seem harsh but I find most users leaving comments in this section are users with under 10 posts to their name, and while some may be long time Cakewalk users, most are not and it is evident in many cases, users are asking for "already existing features". The one interesting part however, is looking through the view of new users. They don't see things like some of us long time users who are someone polluted by existing methods. Thus, the new user must be respected and listened to. I just find answering topics in this part of the forum to be a chore.

It does. The ALT+ Click adds a note instantly. So does Single click and drag, no modifier key needed. I think the smart tool works very well for PRV as is myself. I know everyone works differently but there are multiple options for add note in PRV.

Hope it gets better man. Been there myself. Close to carpel tunnel using this mouse.

I must have confused what the OP wanted, I thought he wanted the Note event properties to pop up on single click. Makes more sense now. ALT + single click does this already. I guess that's why I got confused reading the OP. If we changed to "single click note adding", not sure how we would navigate in the PRV. except using the timeline only. which to me would be time consuming.

What would we do to grab a single note in PRV ? If we click on that note once, it would open the Note event preference

+1 I don't either. I really frown upon destructive editing. Normalizing changes clips to something I can not return to the default if I choose so. unless of course the project is open and I have enough Undo's left in the tank.

Im sorry maybe im misunderstanding, Cant you see the master bus level ? Or maybe its something different, what's a master track level ?

Try holding down the CTRL key and click the tracks you want to select. Holding down the CTRL key while you click also lets you toggle the selection status of a track.

I hardly ever use the gain knob unless im blowing up plugins during their input stages. To each their own I guess. I record almost 80% Audio / 20% Midi. I find large project require faders to be dropped below the normal. It is no skin off my teeth to have my guitar faders set at -24db during the mixing stages. The most important part is how hard im hitting those plug ins. Or shall I say, how hard im not hitting those plug ins. Most plug ins now a day have an input control which gives us much more freedom to wiggle. Thus not having to rely solely on Gain input. Everyone is different and im sure we will hear from them on this thread.

All hail Build 70 Hotfix. Came out Oct. 9th I believe. Read more details here.

I think you are correct. I was looking at Ujam Virtual Bassist specs. Sorry for any confusion. I do remember this plug in though, came out years ago. Like mid 2000's.

I suspect your problem may lay between one of these two things. Virtual Bassist comes in a 64 bit version. I would use that one instead. If that doesn't help, I would check the D drive. Ive had similar issues keeping samples on a different HD. I've also had good results, but not always consistent.

I need to find a ProBox or dbBridge first. Mark gave me some great ideas on how to build one. I just have no idea where to begin as I need to brush up on the parts list, exc.

This question comes up at least once a week.
