Example, I have a song that fluctuates in tempo through out the whole song. I listen to this song and tap out a click sample on my keyboard. I use Fit to improv on the click sample track. Done. Tempo is mapped out. But because im not perfect, I may want to go back and move some of those sample clicks, to line up better with the parts of the fluctuating tempo. Its easily done manually in PRV.

I've never used digital performer but it sounds like one extra step in Cakewalk. Because you CAN also listen to the midi/audio files while recording your click track. Then simply use Fit to Improv and your done. The one step process is trivial to me, because you will always need to go back and fine tune a recorded tempo click track/map that you have produced from a live recording unless you are awesome and mistake free at doing your parts in one take.

Very similar https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X2&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.39.html Fit Improvisation SONAR lets you record music from a MIDI controller without requiring that you use a fixed tempo. In fact, if you record without using a metronome, you are very likely to end up with a recording that does not fit onto a fixed tempo grid. The Process > Fit Improvisation command lets you take a recording and create a tempo map (with measure and beat boundaries) that fits what you played. Your performance is not changed in any way, even though the note start times and durations are adjusted to fit the new tempo map. This is important if you later want to use any of SONAR’s editing features that depend on a proper tempo map for best results. To use this command, you must record a reference track containing a single clip that matches your original track or tracks but has only a single note on each beat boundary. You should make sure that the reference track has one event for every single beat, with no extra beats or missing beats. The first beat of the reference track should be at 1:01:000. You can use any editing command to adjust the reference track. If you want, you can use other types of events as markers on the reference track, such as a sustain pedal. Remember, however, that MIDI sustain pedals generate one event when the pedal is pressed and another when it is released. So if you want to use the sustain pedal for the reference track, keep this in mind. Click down, up, down, up, for one, two, three, four. Remember that the better the quality of your reference track, the better job the Fit Improvisation command can do. You want each of your reference track events to be as close as possible to the beat of the music. Note that some keyboards transmit aftertouch events when you record your reference track. These extra events will prevent Process > Fit Improvisation from working properly. Therefore, you should delete these events before using this command, or filter them out when recording the reference track (using Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Playback and Recording).

Have you tried the resize options ? Double click on the photo after it is inserted in the comment box.

Cakewalk can do this as well. Its called Fit to improvisation. It seems you might be new to Cakewalk by Bandlab. It might help to read up on some of the existing features first before recommending new features.

Yes. The minimum requirement is Melodyne Essentials. Glad it helped Jim.

ya. The link I left in my comment above. Click on that orange thing ( "Melodyne Tempo drag and drop)

Another idea to save space is to delete all those installers in your Downloads folder. There's over 40GB right there. Grab a 20 dollar flash drive and back them up or if you have an external HD, back them up there and then delete them.

I see your problem right here... You have your Sonar X3 installers next to Reaper installers. These 2 will argue all night . Seriously though, I doubt the slap back is due to decreased space on your HD, but I do agree with you that if you need more room on the HD, best idea is to start removing things you wont need. You'll want to start by saving any plug in presets, pro channel presets that you have made. Personally I would also save Project templates, Track templates and saved VST/VST-I settings as well. When uninstalling previous versions your main concern is parts of existing installs that CbB needs to use. I would make a list of plug ins you need (Beatscape, V-Vocal, exc) and uninstall everything. Then install Sonar Platinum's latest release. then Bandlab's latest release. You can always go back later and install plug ins from previous versions by doing custom installs using the installers you have saved in Windows Explorer. Someone else may give you a better idea, or add on to what I proposed here. But this is how I approach it.

Have you tried using Melodyne (drag to timeline) function ? Melodyne Tempo drag and drop

I can understand what your saying there. However having an open inspector allows for editing things you normally cant do in console view. like this... It also allows you to have a full size Pro Channel without having to expand every track in the Console View. Like this.... And as @John mentioned it can be collapsed/minimized (and even closed) if users prefer not to work in such a manner. We all work so differently, im just glad Cakewalk is deep in Multi-Docking functions so we can all work the way we enjoy to. I personally have Project templates set up with saved screensets to work the same way every time I open Cakewalk. It allows me to work with the layout I want and that's all that really matters to each of us.

You have my vote. 5 starts

Both you and I can be opinionated at times, both you and I can also be rough around the edges sometimes as well. With many users, comes many different views. This community/forum has the best turn over (question/answer) rate of any DAW on the net. I do agree with you on that.

Can you post a larger photo of that error ? Something is obviously causing your project to crash, it could be something other than that plug in like a failing device, corrupt driver, exc. Also cant really help unless I have some details like OS (including bit type-32/64 ?) and soundcard.

I had put in a feature request a few years ago for advanced markers. My idea was to have a marker view where you could rearrange all clips in that section to play. This would allow ease of use for creating different sequences. Example- Play verse, bridge, chorus. Then use markers to arrange chorus, verse, verse, bridge. This would allow us to arrange a song in any fashion to hear parts in different order by simply using the advanced markers Vs. having to copy/paste parts in different places.

Just curious but how are you changing velocity's ? Try this way and see what happens.... Using the smart tool, Hover over the top of the midi note until you see the icon change to this. Now click and drag up or down to adjust velocity. - For problem solving purposes, I would avoid having multiple tracks showing in the PRV, just open the one track your trying to adjust velocity's on.

Is there a reason your trying to uninstall previous versions ? What you don't want is to uninstall shared folders. There is no real reason to uninstall previous versions of Cakewalk, Sonar, exc. I have 3 versions on my PC. If I can understand your question better I might be able to help you more.

90% of us have had no problems installing Bandlab, matter of fact I have never seen a membership renewal pop in Bandlab. You were given some great answers on the other thread you commented on.

FYI @Starship Krupa I think you are awesome Hope that didn't sound like I was making you out to be unreasonable. Your last comment was the exact same thing I was thinking. I just didn't write it.

You seem to have the same issue as I do sometimes with the feedback section of this forum. you tend to not totally grip a users requests for what we deem to be absurdities. Im trying to get better at it, so I can absolutely understand where your coming from. im not knocking you bud, your just like me. I want to like your last comment, I just find its the same thing im trying to improve on . But I guess what we sometimes see (as pro users) is the beginners sometimes see things differently, but I whole heartily believe the beginners can see things we don't.

A few things, 1- you didn't mention how you are trying to accomplish zooming. Are you using the zoom buttons, the zoom tool, Keystrokes, the timeline zoom ? 2- you have about a slim chance of someone from cakewalk fixing this (if they can repro it) by simply posting it here in the General section of the Cakewalk forums. 3- Report it to Cakewalk directly. More info can be found here... For what its worth, I cant repro this problem. but then again, I have no clue as to what actions you are performing. Leave cakewalk detailed info in repro steps. example... 1- select track 2- use keystrokes CNTR+UP/DOWN to zoom in on tracks 3- exc, exc, exc

Go to preferences/Playback and recording. Switch this to ASIO. Your not taking advantage of your devices driver by running it in anything other than ASIO. This will then give you access to the ASIO settings in preferences/Device settings.

That's good to hear. Personally I don't use bundle files. I much prefer WinRAR as an alternative. Cant say I have total faith in Bundle files.

It really is a matter of experience and years of use. Wish there was some easy shortcut but it takes time to learn. However there are easy steps to just get to started. Heres a 3 videos I made a few years back. they are not great but they will get you started. 3 ways to midi Basic midi Drum editing

I don't think so. There is the use of Lopping which will stop playback at a current point, problem is, it will restart at the beginning of the loop. Would be nice if Markers had advanced options allowing "Stop" "Go to" "Advance".
