  1. Typically Clean Audio folder is used on a per song basis. It is extremely dangerous to have multiple selections and a good way to delete audio that is still being used in projects (as can be noted by the 4504 audio files found). If your doing multiple projects, i would suggest using the CWAF instead. I'm also seeing as many as 5 to 6 directories these files are inside of. Don't get me wrong, i see your point. about resizing, but that's a lot of parent folders.

    Hi, chuckebaby! Yes, I also do this procedure of creating a meter/key change to return to previous meter/key. Thanks for the feedback!

    In relation to OP, by coincidence, I was using different time signatures on the same tune while transposing amateur songs to music staff, but my boss said some clients didn't like that, so I'm trying to make simpler scores!

    Best regards
     

     

    totally hear what you are saying buddy.

    Wish i had some helpful things for you, Lets hope Copy/paste meter key gets a brush up in the future updates. Been a while since i tried to use that. Let me see what i can find.

    Hi, chuckebaby! Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!

    The only thing is I don't want to change melody, for example, but only key/meter settings. I wonder how is that possible, as I belive Ripple editing will do the trick by moving clips. Actually I only do basic operations with RE, but I'm going to read user's guide a bit more!

    Best regards

    thats a good question and your right.

    However i noticed me personally using meter key changes to be a little tough to understand. thats me anyway

    but i have used them successfully in entering meter key changes before, after, in between other meter key changes, The thing to keep in mind that most people forget is once you make that one meter key change, you almost always have to make another one a few bars after to return to original meter key.

    I had a huge discussion about this a few months back  but cant find the D post.

    heres a video that might help though that i did.

  4. I've read a lot of your comments but have never listened to your music.

    Great voice man. I hear so many different styles in it, you seemed to have combined them all to make your own originality.

    As for the song as a whole, great mix, great songwriting. Drums might be able to come up a little bit but you know im sire you have considered this and sometimes when you bring other things up in the mix, other critical parts get lost, so good compromise. 

    This is really good.

  5. Not a jazz fan at all, but man this was great. Loved the horns man. Wish i could give you some critiquing but this is really not my area. just stumbled upon it  and listened, really nice man.

  6. Are they samples used from Cakewalk ? that might be a different story. I'm not sure how samples are legally binded (the ones from Cakewalk download). You can use them with no issue, but if you proceed to make mounds of cash, there may be an unknown sample dj sending you a love letter.

  7. Use the method i described above and zoom in as close as possible and remove the clip and replace it with a similar note in or around the area.

    When you have digital clips that are small defined pieces, you brain can barely process the clip spot, just the distortion or "Crack" sound. This is why i say, you can almost replace it with any noise from around the surrounding clip space (unless its a vocal, then you can but it is trickey).

    If you have digital clipping through out the whole track, its time to re-record the track. no ifs and or buts about it.

  8. Almost no way to fix digital clipping man. Izotope RX has some tools but it will cost you a bit. In my travels i have either looked to Copy/paste (replacing the clipped parts with existing content) or sometimes you can zoom in 100% find the clip and delete it without much disruption.

  9. Mark explained in great detail, I'll give you the short version...

    - Just use volume for louder/softer output.

    - Use velocity to sum the different samples you are using.

  10. Great video. Notice he didn't reach for the gain knob once in this video ? Its because Gain staging using the Gain knob in Cakewalk is not as unique as it once was. We live in an age where multiple FX can be stacked on a track and almost every plug in now a day comes with its own...wait for it...

    Input/Output.

    In the days where some plug ins don't have proper I/O's Gain was crucial. And in some ways still is needed. Especially in cases where users enjoy clip gain, slamming compressors and over driving the first input stage.

    A lot of users today still use clip gain to automate vocal tracks. However i have found this can be accomplished almost as easy using the volume automation instead. This of course, is dependent on the tracks condition, if it isn't recorded properly and you have a user SS ing and Poping in to the vocal mic, you'll need clip gain. If you recorded the track with an experienced singer, than more often than not, you can de-ess the clip in volume automation.

    I respect everyones different views so im not laying down a foot print here for users to follow, just a way i have found to avoid automating 2 different stages (Gain/Volume). Your going to have to automate a singers vocal track regardless, why not de-ess it there and do it all in one shot.

  11. Once you set up the piano roll view how you want it (the track you choose) lock the screenset.

    You can also try using multiple dock scenarios where you set up the track then, Right click on the multi dock tab and choose "Lock contents".  This will allow you to right click on a different track and choose "Open in PRV".

    This will then create multiple tabs with different track views for the PRV.

  12. ASIO4ALL is not something you should have installed next to factory drivers (Focusrite ASIO drivers). This has been a known issue for years.

    I would consider uninstalling it and only installing it when you need it. other wise look for a better solution like WASAPI.

    Keep in mind that your Snap setting will affect how the clip can be dragged.

    This right here may be the biggest reason you cant align tracks. Turn it off if you need to by pressing "N".
