OK, sorry to have bothered you so.

Its better to have links then no help at all.

i have found Scook to be one of the more intelligent and helpful members on this forum. I would be grateful for the advise.

If you want to control your master volume using windows (if that's what you want to call it) then try using MME as your driver mode.

Don't expect stellar results, latency will be awful but MME is part of the Windows soundcard.

Try and fetch it from your Recycling bin.

If not just install Bandlab again and you should be all set.

I have basically the same question, but I'm using my reverb bus for tracks other than just those that are being routed to the instrument bus, so I don't want the instrument bus to affect the reverb level of those other tracks. The only things I've come up with are grouping those instrument tracks, rather than routing them to a bus, or using two different reverb buses, one for the instrument tracks/bus and one for all the other tracks. Any other options you can think of? To me, it seems intuitive that, so long as the reverb sends from the tracks being routed to the instrument bus are set to Post, the relative wet/dry balance wouldn't follow.

I typically send all my instruments to instrument buses and all my FX (like Reverb, Delay, Exc) to FX buses. This way your Reverb send is only going to the Reverb FX bus (a bus dedicated for Reverb FX only). All instrument buses (tracks that are sent to a bus) are dry and have no FX, they are only used to control level of instruments going to that bus itself.

Is this the same way you set up your routing ?

Its been discussed a few times around here and no one has received a straight answer and if they did, i must have missed it.

My personal belief is that they run off  (or use similar code) the Sonitus suite of plug ins. Some have mentioned the use the VX-64, PX-64, and TL-64 but i don't even have those plug ins active anymore and the style dials still work here. For what its worth, they aren't top of the line, amazing plug ins.. but they are fairly decent in the scheme of things, great for a quick fix on the go. Also running pretty low on CPU resources as well.

Hope this helps.

yes. It is part of the Mackie protocal.

Can you tell me more of how you do it with the Mackie MCU

The Mackie control has Modifier keys which intern are used in conjunction with selection keys to enter selections on the timeline itself.

Once these selections are made, loop can be enabled (loop has its on button).

Not sure what else i can tell you. You might have to assign keys F1 thru F4 as selection points then F3 to loop.

My Mackie control MCU uses "modifiers" for selection points, then has a separate button for loop on/off.

It might help knowing what control surface you are trying to do this with. It would make it easier to explain as every one is different/has different buttons.

for the past week or so I have been using chrome. Each time I went to a post on a page with comments in non-English, chrome asked me if I wanted to translate it. 

you need to have Google translator installed. By default my version of Google chrome doesn't come with translator installed.

(I'm using Google Chrome Version 80.0.3987.116) you need to go to Extensions/Add new extensions and go to Google extension store to install add ons.

So as much as i would like to see a built in translator for this site, i'm not sure a button to open Google translator will work unless its installed.

Driver Mode to MME

possibly the worst choice for driver modes.

However with all this being said, this is a 99% english written site. If users want help they should also depend on a translator for their personal posts and responses.

very fair request as i tend to stay clear of posts asking for help written in other languages.

It just seems like too much of a hassle to use translator. Would be nice to see a built in one.

Click and DRAG

I have no idea what you mean, minimum loop requirements haven't changed recently. you can still loop any part you want.

Try turning off Snap and zooming in on the timeline for tight spots.

We are not there yet. Give it another 20 years from now and there will be great strides in online mastering. Something that will be able to ask you 25 questions and then analyze your mix and master to a specification. Right now its just a few algorithms doing guess work and what i like to call "turd polishing".

Nothing better than a human feel for something that was mixed by a human. Even though a lot of stuff now is done by machines, the more we put our hands in to it, the better off it sounds.  

Have you tried WASAPI as your driver mode ? This  perfect for use in Windows 10.

We can always use the perspective of a "real" composer around here.

ouch

that drop out code is "Unknown error or no dropout."

You should list more details like (especially your soundcard) devices, set up.

Unfortunately, because my crystal ball is still in the shop getting repaired,

Epic comment 😅

I have a Mackie Pro FX 12 and it is good for summing and that's about it. It uses a generic driver (Asio4All) and only has a stereo output through USB. Good for Stereo mixes in my opinion, not much else.

I use a Focusrite 18I8 that i use and a Mackie control/Control surface (the older model) which can be bought used for around 200 bucks USA $.

IMO this is the way to go. Get a good interface (if your only recording yourself or up to 4 tracks at a time) and an MCU unit to control faders, knobs, exc.

I'm using an Se X1S.  I've tried a Rode NT1 and an Audio Technica.  The Se sounds the best.   I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (2nd Gen).

How does the level look going in ? Make sure the Hallo never turns red and always stays in the green (on the pre amp/input volume on the 212).

It might be but I had heavier projects with more same plugins

So im guessing you didn't try the test I mentioned ?

Just try bypassing the FX and do a test export. It should take a few seconds.

I would like to see a Markers track and tempos track that can be exported, saved and used for future projects.

Im trying to understand this feature request a little better because I think your idea has some great potential.

Do you mean, when you press solo override, other un-solo FX buses are hidden ?

Or a button to press to retain previous solo tracks ?

Yup, I also requested this earlier. Would be a great new feature. However, doesn't matter to me that all those other DAWs already have it.

I would rather see Cakewalk become a leader in new features than a follower in already established ones.

The only other issue i could see holding up the save would be your Sound Card. What is it ?
