it looks like a DNA sequence

 I've thought the same.

Have you tried using Paste Special ?

First and foremost, make sure the track you are copying is selected and the destination track has focus. 

- Drag select your region to be copied. Use Paste special. Its really that easy. Just make sure the Nowtime is aligned with the copy and paste points.

Here is a helpful video on this topic.

- Put the NowTime where your chorus begins

- Choose Project > Insert Tempo Change to display the Tempo dialog box.

- Make sure the "Insert New tempo" is checked off.

Repeat this process for every tempo change needed.

FYI, You can use the Tempo Tap button to find your new tempos.

After running the Bandlab App, a reboot may be required. im not saying this is the magic pill. but I believe I had to reboot my first time installing the Bandlab app (though this was over a year ago).

Cakewalk installer should come with all the necessary Microsoft packages but I've seen random issues in the past where a Visual C ++ library needed to be updated.

there is just this-

Once I'm 100% happy with a vocal track I work my way along and highlight and delete all "silence" Most times there is in-breath and even headphone bleed this really cleans things up and it doesn't take that long. I also add fade in's and outs to cover other artifacts. 

Have you tried using Volume automation instead ?

Keeping clips intact/one whole clip is essential for future proof use.

You can build a decent one now days for under 500 bills. I built an I7 4790 4.0GHZ with 16GB of ram for under 5 but I also reused my version of windows, my SSD and case from my old rig.

Any experience with building ?

Toshiba laptop, Intel Core i3 running at 2.10 GHz.

Only my opinion...

If its the Satellite P755-S5215, The MAX Memory allowed is 4GB per slot, equaling a total MAX Memory of 8GB.

Saving your money Mark. Put it towards a new Laptop/Desktop workstation.

I know its not easy to materialize 500 - 600 dollars but your Laptops processor is not worth investing on RAM.  Matter of fact, im not even sure your CPU meets the minimum requirements to run Cakewalk by Bandlab.

The RAM upgrade might help with loading soft synths but Im afraid a 2 gig upgrade wont be that productive.

You don't have to but it will free up resources.. you also have the choice to use "Render" but bounce to clips does the same thing.

Can you provide specs on your DAW PC (Mobo/CPU)

Can't say why it didn't work before but it still disappears after opening. I have to double click the clip again to reopen it. Is that normal?

No its not normal but it is common and still happens to me once in a while. Im just taking a wild guess here but...Are you using old Project templates created in Sonar ?

Problem with USB hubs Powered/or not is that there are multiple messages being sent in to the same hub at once.

I once traced down a keyboard controller issue to a hub, it just couldn't handle a keyboard, mouse, controller all at once.

Personally, I find no significant advantage in using of balanced cables for output signals, unless your cables are significantly long.

I may have misunderstood, but close range monitors should always be balanced cables.

An XLR - TRS cable, short length used for Speakers will run you about 20 bucks for 2 of them.

I also noticed that if I position the guitar at right angles to the video monitor any interference pretty much goes away

Same here. My position is 60 degrees left or right of the monitor (which is basically almost having my back to the video monitor)

PS- My Fender J-Bass is the same way

I would also call it a region but I think what its really called is a selection.

Notice in your photo that not only is the timeline grey itself.. but it is also darkened the clip under it ?
This indicates to us, that particular region of the clip has been selected.  The Grey part in the timeline simply tells us what region has been selected.

You need to look at your tracks to see which ones are selected (for editing)

Yes thank you all. I appreciate the fix for the adds.

Much better experience.

I have been doing some more tests and I think what I really need is to invest in some balanced cables.

This is what I was going to suggest. At first I only used balanced cables for microphones, but as I draped cable over cable like a sick game of tick tack toe I realized I needed to upgrade every cable. I did and it has been a lot better. I still cant perfect cable management properly but my only issue now is my Video monitor using Fenders with single coils.

I stopped using lenses for this very reason. I only use screensets.

IMO, they would have been better off to revamp screensets and making it a much bigger feature. Instead they added another feature that is almost exactly like screensets with the addition of global settings included.

the worst thing is... You cant use both features together without losing something in there some where.

Well, that settles it. Case closed. No ads are being served on the Cakewalk/Bandlab forum...

At that time I didn't see any either.

lets be perfectly real though, if this is what it takes to keep Cakewalk going, than im not opposed to it.

I don't particularly like it, but it beats paying 300 bucks for sonar every new version.

I just saw them. Im seeing then using Windows 8 desktop

The adds you are seeing might be your browser and not this site. I haven't seen an add on this site.

I've had this go 2 separate ways..

1- Burnout on the song and it sounds like burnt toast.

2- Force myself to finish it and it comes out amazing.

I typically record songs in batches now (10 songs) and mix, master after the fact.

I've always wanted a Royer R121 or R122. I've heard great things about them and You tube videos sound amazing (after they've been put through an API)

I honestly hope the ferrite choke does the job. But I don't think its going to. When you put powered speakers, next to a powered Desktop monitor, through a powered soundcard using 2 prong outlets your in for a long day.

@greg54 You can about this any way you choose but as I said previously, Its a matter of process and elimination.

Start with the basics, Plug your 5 power sources (Desktop, Video monitor, Soundcard and 2 Speakers into one power strip.

1- Power up Desktop / Soundcard / Speakers

2- Find the grounding sound you are hearing. Once it is strong, Turn off the Video monitor to your desktop (you just eliminated 1 source).

3- Turn off 1 Speaker (it could be a bad cord to your speaker) Now repeat with the other speaker.

Your best bet might even be to lug your gear into the kitchen (where the wiring has been updated) and check it there. If it works fine there, chances are no ferrite choke will help you.
