Thanks, I'm doing just as you said. I right clicked to save as a track template and it takes a long time and then the screen gets more and more faint and finally CBB shuts down. When I reopen, the template has been saved and I can insert it with no problem. I repeated this three or four times with the same result each time

very late response - that's what I want to do, I just don't have a good workflow with take lanes. Do you still set the recording mode to comping, or to SOS? I still would like to have separate tracks I can audition but not sure if I can still do that.

update - I'm working with a lot of the ideas here. It crashes each time I create & save a track template. Not sure where to post this, sounds like a bug?

Got it John, thank you. It was bound to another shortcut & I had to change it.

Thanks I didn't know that, I will try it out!

I like the idea of melodyne shortcuts. I assigned both z & x for create & render but I get no response from the x for create. Am I doing something wrong? It shows that x binds to create region fx & I closed & reopened the project but no response. Thanks.

WELL DONE, THANKS!

Thanks for all of your help! Yes in many cases it will be more than just moving faders, more drastic changes. Hopefully I'm better at mixing than 20 years ago and also CBB has more capabilities as well. I do use track templates for vocals and guitar, but that's a good idea to create more to use. I didn't think you could create bus templates yet? I'll find out if sub mixes are automatically created from the track templates I import.

Thank you both for your responses!

Most of my work nowadays is remixing old projects, some going back more than 20 years to guitar tracks pro. A template is great for new projects but I can't decide if it's better to import the old projects into a new template, or just try to work with them as they are. If I import into the template it's still involves a lot of reassigning outputs and adding sends since every project has a different number and different types of tracks. Keeping it in the original form isn't that great either. Anyone have any tips for workflow to save time when you go back to old projects? Thanks

Andres, a very late response... I've been looking in melodyne and I don't see where you can delete dead space or unwanted noises? I only have melodyne assistant, maybe it takes a more advanced version?

Got it thank you!

It's just on this one project, an old one I'm reworking and actually waveforms appear on one track only, the others are just straight lines. Any ideas? Thanks!

late response: My file structure is C/Cakewalk Projects & Cakewalk Content. The files are very small but no idea what they are. I can't open them. They're so small it may be more trouble to delete than it's worth since they're scattered into different folders.

What are cmp files that are mixed in with the Cake Projects folder? Are they related to Melodyne?

I think there's a way to do this but I am not sure. I want to select a clip and move it to a marker way down the timeline. Is there a shortcut or something to do this? Thank you!

Wow I just checked & it was 3 gb. 1 I deleted it all - thanks.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but are melodyne files stored somewhere else besides as well as being rendered into cakewalk? Just trying to know if there are files I can delete to free up space. Thanks

Thanks everyone I'll check it out next time I have it opened!

I'm not sure what the correct terminology is or how to say this, but it used to be as soon as cursor in the timeline goes all the way to the right, immediately my screen would jump to the next view with it on the left as it's playing. Sounds like a computer issue more than sonar but I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Thanks I'll have to think about that. I use izotope and they have a dedicated module for unmasking, separate from the compressor for ducking.

That's helpful, thanks!

Can I use the same side chain input from a vocal bus to two different vsts on an instrument bus - an equalizer for unmasking and a compressor for ducking? These seem like two different functions to me but are they redundant? I'd be interested in other people's experience. Thanks

update - I think it works (or doesn't work) differently when soloing take lanes. I think that's why I wasn't hearing a response.

Got it, thanks. I didn't know the order mattered.
