There is not tab on my video window.

It should be right next to the Console view tab if its docked. See photo below = by right clicking I can "Undock".

Can you upload a photo for us ?

Zoomed

There should be a tab at the lower left hand corner. they are your multidock tabs. Right click on the Video tab and select "Undock".

Drag it to your other monitor and call it a day.

Even though you wouldn't see it, it could be stored in the project file. The point would be to freeze multiple tracks instantaneously to free up CPU power (in the middle of a project). I actually really like this suggestion.

That's why Cakewalk gave you AUX tracks. That's exactly what they are for.

If it helps your workflow, it's a good idea.

Yes but they are still locked to a certain order even so

Yes but you don't have to go fishing through 3 or 4 tabs. This is exactly what Screensets were made for. I leave Screenset #1 for basics

So when I am in the initial writing stage I may want to use my PRV and Matrix view the most.

This is where Screenset #2 takes place.

Later on when  the track is written and I'm mixing I want the Console  view and Browser to be my main pair

This is where # 3 takes over.

This way you can press numbers on the Keyboard 1-10 to cycle through smaller views.

I've studied this Multidock Tab thing for many years trying to find the most productive way to view/work. the Screensets are a great tool.

But we all work differently, so what might be good for me, might not work for you.

Can we please get cakewalk on Mac??????? please 

Totally off topic to the OP.

If you have a request for Cakewalk put it here. Though I wouldn't hold my breath on this one as its been discussed to overkill.

I would use the split tool as well. Highlight the clip and place the NowTime at the points which you want to Split. Press "S" as a keyboard shortcut.

Delete the portions you don't need (you'll still have the slip edit content incase you need to roll out/roll in). Grab the ends of the Splits to add a gradual fade in/out and call it a day.

These are basic tools we all use everyday in the editing world.

An internal error occurred while processing the mixdown

Typically Plug ins that aren't playing well at mix down or a failing drive. Happen to me once a while back, I traced it down to a freebie plug in that didn't like Sonar.

Just my opinion here but You shouldn't need to have to go to recent files. You should have a directory pre made for exports.

Create a folder called "Mixdowns" in your documents folder. Navigate your exports there.

Sounds like where ever your default is set to/where ever your putting them on the export menu, might be sending the files to a place restricted by User account Control. Also make sure the .ext is there...   .MP3

put the mixed version in a track and use the quad core eq and look for the offenders (I would look to cut in the 30-90 area and raise the 200-500 range for mud on an isolated bass track

When trying to troubleshoot Audio problems, it is critical to leave details. Ones that are missing from your OP... Like what your using to record Audio with ?

Almost nearly next to impossible to guesstimate.  We could throw every idea in the book at you but it might not even pertain to you.

Leaving info about -

Windows OS

Version of Bandlab

Audio device (interface)

Sharing the notion that "Said DAW works fine" wont get Cakewalk working like you want, more details will.

hey lapaso,

there should be something for you here on the old forum

http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3481456

Check this post, there are AD maps and EZ drummer 2 maps as well.

Here is a direct link. hope this helps.

The problem arises when you factor in, where would the frozen content go in a bus ?

Buses aren't designed like normal audio tracks but more of a patch point, thus the AUX tracks feature that was introduced a year or so ago.

It would be great I agree. I believe its pretty easy now though using AUX Tracks.

I also use Nero. I have a small version that's light and works very nicely. I haven't used Cakewalks burner in years. Let me try it in a few and I'll get back.

This was happening to me once in a while and I figured out it had something to do with the way I copy/paste clips. I typically drag a selection and then hold CNTRL and drag/paste that to a new section. However if you grab a clip in the wrong section while holding CNTRL you activate the gain automation (I believe). What ever it was, took me a while to figure it out, hope that helps someone else down the road.

Just copy your PC presets to the new CbB folder. I believe that's what I did.

TBH, I cant really tell what your issue was because it looks like you edited your post.

Which gen 18I8 are you using ? Im using a 1st gen and have no issues with Latency (I have an I7 6700 using onboard Intel graphics).

It could be a problem with the Saffire driver. Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it ? Make sure your using a USB 2.0 port if you have a 1st gen 18i8. Oh and always use the same port you used to install the drivers on.

One thing I haven't heard much about is, to which the extend is that you reached out to Cakewalk about your problems. I know personally, in the past Cakewalk has asked me for Projects that exhibit strange behavior. In some cases worked with me to resolve the issues. 

I enjoyed the videos produced on your YouTube channel. I found them interesting and helpful. However I believe the way which you are going about this is a bit tacky. <- I hope my comment doesn't end up in your next video with a 20 minute rebuttal. 

I've done things on this forum in the past that deeply regret. Not that im comparing situations.. but don't be like me. Move on and revisit in a couple months. Trust me when I tell you in 5 years from now you'll look back on this and ask yourself why ?

Good luck

Unlike gaming, Sonar has no real moving parts (besides drawing Wave forms, some plug ins  and meters being the only real GPU draw).

A GPU will only lighten the load on the RAM. Which in my opinion isn't much. I use dual DVI/VGA onboard graphics as well. I see no issues. However that graphics card your referring to is a relic. I would be more conrened about drivers.

If you cant find a drum map, sometimes its easier to just move the drums themselves to a new home. You can easily select any drum kit piece by clicking on the Keyboard/Drum number on the left hand side of the Piano Roll view. One by one you can drag all hits to a new place.

ALT+Z = UNDO view / to undo any zooming. is probably one of my favorites. Because it gets you back to a certain point you want the project to be viewed as.

I wont bore you with my CTRL+C shortcuts.

I don't want to be the downer here but some stuff might be impossible to fix even with RX < which I love to use/own it.

EQ notch filters will get you 20% there but you might lose some great tonal characteristics in the timbre of the vocal itself. I never go into the studio to record an album and set up an SM 58. I always start with pre production: Choosing Vox mic's, wind resistance, distance to mic, room, exc .

Vibrations on syllables like W and V can sometimes be traced to lose parts on a mic stand and or/ shockmount < if its a condenser.

Lip smacking is almost always positioning (too close to the mic) or a vocalist bad habit. When recording vocals I always solo the Vox track and listen through good monitors, then headphones to isolate crap coming through.

Heres what I would do.. Use a good over all 4 band EQ (like the quadcurve) to get a basic good sounding vocal track (don't use any effects at this point like Reverbs, delays, exc.. just the dry Vox track. Once you have accomplished this, Start notching tight band filters to find the offending sibilance, mouth noises, chewing .

This is the point which you will know if you need to re-record the vocal tracks or RX will work for you.

Also, I have sooooooo many distracting vocal artifacts (lip smacks, a knocking sound when singing some phrases like "inside us (KNOCK) now",  and a funky vibration when I sing certain "w" or "v" words. If I focus on NOT doing these, not only does it not really help but it kills the feeling of the vocal.

What kind of Mic did you use and how did you record vocals (Pop screen, Distance) ??

Sonar X1 had Layers but I believe used Overwrite mode as the default for recording.

What it sound like to me is you are you using Take lanes and the take might be hidden by previous takes (just a guess).

What REC mode are you in ? Sound on Sound, Overwrite or Comping ?
