This is a really good one!  Learned something I didn't know about Kontakt's stereo and mono outputs.

Will keep this one on my list of repeats.  

Thanks!

How about customizable naming of categories of markers and selectable (on/off) "marker lanes" --structure/parts, flaws, editing notes, section names, priorities, etc.?  Maybe in selectable widths? Choice of marker size?

I like that idea.  By making it (on/off), you don't have to clutter up the layout any more than necessary.

These are really good!  And I learned something (matter of fact a few things)...

Keep up the good work. 

Not sure if these are the same ones that are on the FB forums.  If so, I'll like them there also.

 the protools screenshot above. That would be really nice!

I 2nd that!  I like the colors between the markers.

And if we could choose the colors, that would be even better!

I hear ya @Jim Fogle.  I feel the same way about BF.  Glad you got it. 

@Jim Fogle do you need it now? 

I mean, we're really close to BF and they usually drop this one as a freebie if you buy something else...

if not, ten bucks is still pretty decent for this one as it's got a lot to offer.

OP probably would have been able to press F1 and get his answer if they hadn't unnecessarily removed the Context-Sensitive Help file from the installer.

Possible, but not probable.  It's easier to just post here. 
I think that's what Chuck E Baby and David Baay were alluding to.

On the old forum, there used to be links (and posts) that pointed to things like "CakeTV" and other materials that explained things like this.

There is definitely a need to bring those things back (updated of course). 

Thanks for that!

I was wondering when Steinberg was going to put it out.

I have WL9.5 so I'm excited to see what's next...

Sad thing is I've just started getting into the new stuff from 9.5 (like the MasterRig and some of the other new tools)..

Well.. I'll wait a little, but this may be a near future purchase..

I was going to mention that as well. The select tool enters note on single click as well. And very easy to pull up using F5-F11 or Tools HUD.

I guess if you're a new user, you're not inclined to RTFM...LOL

Is there some way to make it more manegeable?

 

I typically turn the track gain down (by a lot) on Zeta+2.  You're right.  It's quite loud and can really be annoying when you think about it.

I would also consider making a track template out of it.  You can start with a default setting but turn everything down so it's not jumping out at you.  Just a thought.

there are multiple options for add note in PRV.

 

This 👍👍👍

Pressing "T" gets you the smart tool.  Also using the function keys (F5 through F11) will allow you to toggle through the smart tool functionality.

I use the PRV all the time for editing and rearranging.  This keeps things simple and straightforward.  

Sure I can double click (or Alt+click), but understanding what the smart tool has to offer speeds things up a bit.

Hi Terry.  Mine is set to Cntrl+W.

Check and see if yours is the same.  I'm not sure if I set that or Cakewalk wayy back when...

Hey Jack,

Just saw that OZ9 has a new update 9.02

You might want to check it out..

EGGGGGZACTLY!  Yup - I absolutely LOVE track templates, and in addition to setting up one for every drum kit I use, I also have some standard ones for individual synths with specific presets, including associated audio and midi tracks and settings, and some commonly grouped instruments I use with Kontakt - like Piano, Strings, Bass, and Organ.  It is nice to have all the levels, tracks, sounds, and assignments set up and brought into projects as needed, with just a couple of mouse clicks.

I also have some standard Project Templates set up, that I can quickly select from and launch one, when I get some noodle running around in my head, and want to capture it in some fashion - prior to it evaporating from my brain.  These would include the whole raft of stuff connected to a Battery 4 drum kit or AD2, as well as a few flavors of instruments - all done to speedily get me up and running in a pre-fab project to record my noodles.  (I often tap out odd-metered rhythms on the steering wheel when out and about, and will launch one of these noodle templates as soon as I get back home, before my brain switches to another channel).

Life is SO much easier when levels are saved with already reasonably set output levels - so rather than having to do identical gain staging anytime I load the same Kontakt piano, I will - (ahead of time) - get the desired one loaded up and its output volume dropped down in the neighborhood of -18 dB, and then save it in the same folder as it would normally come from, with a new name - (nothing fancy - I just add "00-GS", without the quotes, to the front of its original instrument name).  That way, whenever I want to open the folder for that piano, to see the available instruments to choose from, any of the ones I already set levels for show up alphabetically at the top of the instrument list, so I see those first.

I just LOVES Me those Track and Project Templates in CbB.

All that right there! 😊

Hi CDK..

Are you sure you have the echo button on?

If not, click that after you've set your midi outs (midi in should be from your controller).

Hi Jon,

Not sure why your inspector won't go away (like it's supposed to).

Did the hotkey change or something?🙄

I just click "I" and it opens and closes without me undocking it. 

Hasn't changed as far as I remember...

Uploaded and working Great!

Thanks Bakers!

I was able to use the draw (line) setting on the smart tool in the tempo view and draw a very precise tempo increase.  

Not sure if this helps anyone, but I got it straight from the documentation:

To steadily increase or decrease the tempo in the Tempo view

1.Enable Groove Clip Looping on any audio clips that you want to follow the tempo changes. Do this by selecting one or more clips, right-clicking a selected clip, and choosing Groove > Clip Looping from the pop-up menu. Each clip that has Groove Clip Looping enabled has beveled edges instead of sharp corners. The same command disables Groove Clip Looping on any selected clip that has Groove Clip Looping enabled.

2.Select the Line tool  in the Control Bar.

3.Drag a line in the graph from the starting time and tempo to the ending time and tempo.

SONAR introduces a linear series of tempo changes.

Thank you Mr. Grant.  Glad you enjoyed it. I did work a little harder on mixing this one than I usually do, though it's a sparse enough arrangement not to be that complicated. Good to know the extra effort paid off!

It did!  Sounds great to my ears!

Man that was nice!  I really like the 7/8 timing and how you seemed to ride it effortlessly.

Mix is nice and clear (Stand up bass sounds really good in there).

Has a really cool "sound" to it.  Vintage feel for sure.

Very nice work.  Love the chords..

Very nice throwback sound to it.

Sounds like you have a slap delay on the chorus vocals (I like it).

Love the piano texture (both intro and outtro).

Daniele,

there is a article on this in the Sonar Documentation..

Sonar Doc (Tempo)

Hope this helps..

i was channeling my inner stevie wonder on that one.

Yes, you were! inner Stevie Wonder for sure!

Well great job my friend.  VERY enjoyable listen.

Kenny, 

Now THAT'S tight!  See?  All that and now you can do your "victory lap".. 😂

I hope you got some rest man.  I'm sure you were burning the late night oil on that one.

Congrats on making a hit even better!🏆

Hi Arlen ,

A few other people thought there was something funny going on w the Bass in my other mix .

On this Mix I did take a lot of the rumble out in Cakewalk .

I think some may be getting added back to my stereo file during the  pseudo mastering stage . 

 

That's possible.  It's not abrupt, just noticed it over the coarse of listening.  

Still love the jam though.  

So you give your solos names?  I never thought of that.  

Will have to think about that. ..💡
