It's definitely map-able to a key-press in the Preferences>Keyboard Bindings, and until now I could have sworn it was mapped to "M" but I think I was imagining things. It's SHIFT-B, as per The Manual

@Jimbo 88, have you actually encountered a problem with importing and miss-aligned articulation keys?

Articulation maps should be using MIDI note numbers. Note 60 will always be "middle C" at 262Hz. Cakewalk seems to respect the "Base Octave for pitches" preference setting in the Articulation Map editor. I typically use a Base Octave set to -2, and it looks good to me: If I set Base Octave = 0, then the Editor respects this and shows "C3 [36]" against the Note/CC instead of "C1". I haven't imported any articulation maps from third parties so I can't see whether other products only refer to Note Names and don't assign artics to Note Numbers. But if they are designed correctly they totally should be using MIDI note numbers, not note names. (LATER: I was curious and checked the JSON .artmap format used by Cakewalk, and, yes, parameter B2 is definitely storing the MIDI Note Number. Of course.)

It's "capo". You had it right the first time.

Dude, if you've watched all of the video and you still have this question, then there are other issues you need to resolve.

@tparker24, you're not wrong. I noticed this a while back, and put in on the list for addressing. And then.... I forgot. I normally use "Maximize Waveform Height"so it dropped off my radar. Sorry about that. Thanks for reminding me. I've updated the top post with details, and refreshed the ZIP.

This is going to sound crazy, but since a couple of updates ago (say, since 2020.09) I have encountered situations where open VST windows suddenly can't be dragged into a new position. I think I've most noticed this with Voxengo SPAN (VST2). I can close the window, then re-open it again, after which it is fine and re-positionable. I'm just curious if other folks have noticed this.

The Start Screen has a section called "Demo Projects" and by looking at the dates against each of the four it seems these are updated regularly with each CbB update: Chernobyl Studios - Withered Moment.cwb 11/03/2020 20:35 Geoff Manchester - Virtue.cwb 11/03/2020 15:39 Sophia Jane - Living For Now.cwb 12/29/2019 17:12 True Sound Studios - Happy Go Lucky.cwb 11/27/2010 20:56 I think I installed 2020.10 EA#3 yesterday which explains those dates on the first two...

See if this topic helps you out.

I declare @sjoens the winner of this thread. We can go home, boys and girls.

Hmmm. Do you think something like this would be better than a rotary knob?

What, you're not willing to edit each knob impression individually?

I do remember; but FLAT WHITE wasn't directly in response to your request. However I did think you might enjoy it. I'm glad to hear that is the case.

@brandon Okay if you take a stereo bus and pan it all the way to the LEFT side, then yeah, everything you've sent to that bus will be sent to the LEFT channel. That's how it works. >> However I still cant get the individual tracks to pan separately from each other. Try the following simple test: Create three mono audio tracks Route them to Stereo Bus A Route Bus A to your outputs (Hardware out 1 & 2 or whatever your LEFT and RIGHT output channels are called) Put a unique mono sound on each track (say, high voice; mid voice; low voice) Pan track 1 LEFT, 3 RIGHT, and leave 2 centered. Press PLAY. What do you hear? It should be a nice stereo field. If it is not, then something is wrong with your configuration. Here's my test. I used four tracks because I had them handy in a fugue I've written, bounced to MONO and directed to a new stereo bus A: Now hard-pan that Bus A to the LEFT. You should be able to hear all three (or four) tracks coming out of the left channel. Try panning to the RIGHT. Same. If you don't, then there is something wrong with your config.

This has gotta get an award for "Most Timely Forum Question"

Take lanes are a bit odd in that, you start out with none (or maybe one invisible one) but then as soon as you add one, it sticks around as the primary take lane.

It is a common use-case to have multiple tracks - each with their own PAN position - feeding a common, stereo bus. That bus can, in turn, be panned. The center detente of the Bus Pan is merely saying "I'm evenly sending my stereo audio to both Left and Right channels, but if you want to bias me one way or the other, you're free to do so". It does NOT mean that your stereo mix is mono. If you are hearing mono, then there is something else not set correctly, like, um, a mono effect plugin, or that bus is, in turn, being sent to a mono bus. Or something like that. Or your Audio interface is not configured correctly. If you create a new, empty project, and load up a stereo wave file that you know is good, for reference, do you hear stereo?

If the Bus is a Stereo Bus, then you shouldn't lose anything. The three tracks should appear in the stereo field of the bus as you have panned them in the track view. When you say "it looks like" do you mean that you know for sure the panning is lost?

Press the "Hide/Collapse Take Lanes" button in the track strip. It's the left-most, Orange button in your screen shot.

So the Track View has some Drag-n-Drop options: I would love to see another option added to this for dragging from Windows Explorer or the Media Browser: [X] Do not copy WAV to Global Audio folder; use existing (relative) Path Background on Use-Case: I'm working on a Sample Library and I have all my samples in the correct library directory structure. I am loading them into a Cakewalk project in order to select, sort, and built sets of SFZ patch files. I do not need to have all the WAVs duplicated or relocated. I have saved my CWP project as "do not copy audio data with project". So far the only way I have found to keep the files where they are is to Right-Click, Import, and clear the "copy audio to project folder" checkbox. I thought that Drag-n-Drop from the Media Browser would be faster but it is copying the files into the global audio folder. There should be an option to Not Do That.

EDIT: never mind. This is not an issue with the EA release. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, @GreenLight. (Was: Importing Broadcast Wave files creates a marker, and I'd never noticed before)

It is possible to insert a new track above the currently selected track: I have a project with four audio tracks. I select Track 2. I right-click, and select "Insert Audio Track". The new track is inserted above Track 2. Track 2 has become Track 3, with the new Track 2 just above it.

I just came here to a) post this enhancement again, and then found out that b) I'd already posted it back in July, and c) @scook had answered it. Thanks. I never even noticed that the selected time was displayed in the Export module.
