Ow, my wallet

Edit: To be clear, I don't think $59 is a bad price, far from it. Just... Black Friday has already stolen my wallet and emptied it.

I'm not ignoring this thread - just slammed at work, with some travel coming up. I'll get to these when I can, but in the meantime , this thread is definitely the best place to put corrections and additions. Sorry!

I'm not sure what I'm looking at... apart from the beautiful theme, of course

I love the interface of Cakewalk by bandlab ,  but Mixer could use a little more work.

Post your suggestions in the Feedback forum!

Any other MSoundFactory users out there?

I've noticed pretty consistently when I'm playing back a recording, then press "Stop" or Spacebar, the audio engine turns off.

Most annoying because I've been pressing spacebar to fix notes in the PRV, and I move notes around and don't hear the preview and then realize the audio engine is off, again.

Seem to be only MSoundFactory that does this.

Page 137 of the YLIP doc talks about my findings with respect to the viewport image. It isn't directly an answer to your issue, but it might help throw some light on why it suffers from funky rendering on occasion...

Summary:

Quote

Transparent regions in the Viewport image are not respected. Cakewalk actually throws a black rectangle up and then overlays it with the
viewport image. The underlying Transport image is obscured, not revealed.
In practice this means that if we want to make it appear as though the viewport is transparent, we need to reproduce the underlying
Transport image in our viewport image.
You can't make the "window" smaller than it is by default, because the horizontal black rectangle that appears during load will also
overlay (and overlap) the image.

First off, there IS a way to change the color of the fade line. See Page 47.

I bet there's a way to change the color of the in-clip FX widget also.

oo, nice

Melodyne is, of course, far superior.

I can't agree with that. Runs like a sloth in comparison, and although I admit I'm used to switching tools in VV (V, S mostly), I still don't think Melodyne is any easier to use.

the pace of innovations appears to have slowed down of late.

In the past, this usually meant a big feature was being reworked or added and was taking longer to shake out. The results were always worth it. Let's post our guesses in The Coffee House...

If it really bothers you, use a different DAW.

How did I miss this discussion? I would have contributed, but I see it has gone off the rails all by itself, without help.

We're blessed to have the Theme Editor and "fix" things real good.

Reminds me of Monument Valley

I'm very curious as to which Reverb plugin was causing the problem.

There's several lessons on this thread for all of us. Useful stuff.

The most recent version I can download is 2.2.0. I suspect that is because I have "KORG Collection - Legacy Bundle" and didn't upgrade to the latest version (that included the Triton, I think?).

Hi everyone, I installed Cakewalk for the first time today and the UI is just so tiny on my 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor that it's sadly unusable for me. Setting scaling to 150% in Windows makes it too blurry to be usable and setting to 200% makes it too pixelated to be usable. I'm on Windows 8.1. Googling this it seems most people complain about the interface being too big, but such is not the case here. 🙂 I assume there is no scaling options in Cakewalk itself? Thank you!

Wow, 8.1? Brave choice. Whatever we might say in public about Windows 10, recent releases DEFINITELY improved app scaling and support, so I hate to say it but an upgrade in your case might be... an upgrade with respect to screen scaling.

Another recommendation for Bandcamp, here. I've put my own music their, and also bought a ton of stuff from other artists. Excellent platform.

This is tempting. But I have to ask myself, do I really need ALL the reverbs?

Just for the fun of it, I am thinking of mirroring my mix in CW in Reaper.

Considering how simplistic my final mix was (even simpler than Stems, it was literally one clip per movement and some leveling, EQ, and multiband compression) I should totally try this. Or try it in Studio One, even.

I have the exact same issue as you Colin, and have had for quite some time. I also saw the same thing happening Terry in this thread from early 2021.

As stated, completely dumbfounded why this is happening during export, listening back to the WAV (44/24). I have a fairly well built i7 computer with 32 GB RAM, all SSD equipped, RME UCX interface with the latest drivers, no internet, AV or any other processes disturbing things. Now trying to export a finished, mixed and mastered  progrock-tune only containing roughly 75 tracks, and the computer/RAM or HD isn't sweating. Chirps still random on the export.

I will probably go REAPER from now on I'm afraid. After 20 years.

Hi Rick. I wish I could say the problem went away, but I have no data. I haven't worked on a major project since the one described above. (A full-time job will do that to you, sigh)

I totally understand your frustration. No one should feel the need to apologize for using different DAWs, if they are able. I myself have Studio One although I've never attempted the complexity of projects that can achieve with Sonar. (I just don't need the hassle of becoming an expert in S1). If you do switch to Reaper for your next project, please do check back here and let us know how you fared. So often we see posts here about people switching but never any closure.

Patience is certainly a virtue. Go to my themes folder on Dropbox and you'll see a folder named "Tungsten RST." In the folder you will find a version of Tungsten RS that's been updated to use the dark, flat and bold Transport buttons.

I did it while watching Hawkeye. Behold Tungsten RST:

HERETIC! Someone stop this madman. He's gone too far. The Original Revised Standard Edition of Tungsten is the ONLY WAY

That's why it hasn't been updated.... not worth the effort for the handful of Neanderthals still using it. ;^)

Personally I like the warm fuzzy feeling I get when I am suddenly transported back to 1990 by some long forgotten corner of the UI.
