I'm recording dozens of "studio live" song recordings, i.e., not recording tracks separately - recording my band "live" in the studio, multiple tracks per song without. I'd like to automate (to whatever extent is possible) the steps which I repeat often during the recording session. Assuming Folder paths, Global Audio, etc. are already configured, before the session starts, I setup the environment: create a new project using a template Save the project using the current date + 01 (which of course creates the folder but I remover the "01" from the folder name) hit "R" to record hit spacebar to stop the recording Currently, after stopping the current recording, I am manually: CTRL-S (to save the current project) CTRL-Z (to undo the recording) ALT-F, then "A" (to save the "blank" project as a new name using date + the next number in the sequence of the recording session Enter "R" to begin recording the next song Rinse, repeat It would be great to automate any of the steps being taken when the band comes to the end of a song recording, beginning with hitting spacebar (or whatever) to stop the recording: save and close the current recording open a new project (using a template that was previously created) name the "new" project with the next number in the sequence of the recording session, other name? Next I would just hit "R" to record the next song, then rinse, repeat for as many songs as we get through. Ideas?

I'm in a similar conundrum - I'm recording over 60 "live" song recordings (not recording tracks separately - recording a band "live" in the studio, 22 tracks persong without much variation). I'd like to automate (to whatever extent is possible) the steps which I repeat often during the recording session. N.B., I have already configured Folder paths, Global Audio, etc. Before the session starts, I setup the environment: create a new project using a template Save the project using the current date + 01 (which of course creates the folder but I remover the "01" from the folder name) hit "R" to record Currently, after stopping the current recording, I am manually: CTRL-S (to save the current project) CTRL-Z (to undo the recording) ALT-F, then "A" (to save the "blank" project as a new name using date + the next number in the sequence of the recording session Enter "R" to begin recording the next song Rinse, repeat It would be great to automate any of the steps being taken when the band comes to the end of a song recording, beginning with hitting spacebar (or whatever) to stop the recording: save and close the current recording open a new project (using a template that was previously created) name the "new" project with the next number in the sequence of the recording session, other name? Next I would just hit "R" to record the next song. Rinse, repeat for as many songs as we get through.

I too, loved VC64 - I didn't even realize it was a cakewalk thing (I thought I got it through a musician coming into the studio). I lost it when I swicthed to a new DAW and installed a fresh CbB (my previous CbB was installed on top of Sonar X3, which was on top of X2, etc, back to Cakewalk (Twelve-tone systems' - I'm old; started w/Cakewalk v2 and thought sliced bread had nothing over v4 and midi+audio) If anyone knows a good combination of the other plug-ins that do as "nice" a job as VC64 (limiter/compressor/multi-layered) please share.
