Thanks Glenn. Yeah I'm routed directly to the hardware outputs. I'll take your advice and re check everything is going to the master bus.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah there is at least -6 of headroom left for the mastering process.

Thanks for the reply John but I'm not mastering in in cakewalk just exporting the final mix with enough headroom to be mastered. I will still check out the videos Bob

Thanks for the reply. I just checked and there are no effects on in Pro - channel or the FX rack. I created a new master bus with the same result mix seems squashed and not as open sounding. If deleting the master bus sounds better and is not absolutely essential then it seems like the way to go. Bob edit: I'm not mastering in cakewalk so it doesn't seem like a big problem but I'm just curious if other users do it this way

Hi I'm looking for some advice.. I'm working on a collaboration doing vocals. We have 20 - 30 songs nearly completed. My collaborator has been using cakewalk for 15 years but he has not created an master bus for any of the songs but the mixes sound amazing. I created a master bus and suddenly the mix sounds horrible and very different. (There are no plugins on the master bus I created) Question: Is this normal for cakewalk users? Is it absolutely necessary to create a master bus? Do you know what's going on here? Peace Bob

Thanks ✌️ I know for next time. I spent a long time doing it one by one.

1. It would be really cool to have a brush tool or more advanced draw tool to paint automation fee form a bit more fluently than it is already. We could plug in a drawing tablet and paint with sounds have a sound pallet of different colours. We could choose a sound or FX for each colour and paint with it. 2. I like to use cakewalk to cut beats and organise them randomly. (I Make heaps of beats that will fit the bpm and cut them together for 100 bpm track I will cut together in an 800 bpm project) It would be nice to be able to cut (spilt) more than one sound at a time. And to have a randomise button to randomly organise the sounds. 3. Piano roll view. Don't get me wrong piano roll is near perfect but there is something about zooming and moving notes I cant flow fast enough my brain is always a few notes ahead. Piano roll in cakewalk needs to be better than FL studio. Do something bold with it.. could be so much better ✌️

Is it possible to delete all selected clip gain automation? If I select all the clip automation it will only delete from one clip at a time... Hope that makes sense. Cheers Bob

(clip gain) Is it possible to change the overall volume of all clips to the same db without doing it one by one? (Hope that makes sense) Is there a quick way to routing all tracks to master bus without selecting them one at a time? cheers Bob

Thanks for the suggestions I really appreciate it. Unsure why the file is 3 GB. There doesn't seem like a way around this problem. At least I still have the audio so I can rebuild the song. Cheers Bob

Thanks for the reply John I do have previous versions of this project backed up. Unfortunately for this recording session the original and back up are corrupt.. Here is the .cwp file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JmPRhsBTTFzRjPADkbKMh7vvHSIYxS_Y/view?usp=sharing If anyone can open it and explain how they did it... I will be eternally grateful Cheers Bob

I get an error message the file has been truncated / then another saying its damaged or not compatible with this version of cakewalk. I have tried safe mode it opens as a blank project. Any suggestions? cheers bob Hardware Configuration Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz ram 32.0 GB 64-bit operating system, Windows 10 Pro, RME fireface UC , Kurzweil Artis usb midi it was created with Cakewalk By BandLab 27.01.0.098 the project was working perfectly until the Wednesday 22nd.
