That seems odd. Maybe the effect states are not getting saved or loaded correctly in the mix recall. If you turn one effect on and then hit the global FX button a few times do any of them respond? You could send a copy of your project and mix recall into support to see if they see the same thing.

Make sure you have not disabled plugin delay compensation (PDC) https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Recording.22.html

What is "Synthwave"? Does it have something to do with El Nino?

I am not sure what you mean by put it in the "workspace"? There is a shortcut key for split clips at cursor, you can use the mouse to split clips, on the control bar there is a module to allow a button press to run a command. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=ControlBar.17.html

If you just want to edit the tracks volume automation manually then change the tracks volume envelope then select volume from the edit filter and then draw in your automation. If you want to use a midi controller to change the automation then you would need to setup a midi controller and then "write" is important to be enabled for the track. The track write automation button is located just below the edit filter dropdown https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Automation.08.html

Usually, the one with the faster clock speed is preferred for audio applications.

Are you trying to run the installer as administrator? If so, then try it as a regular user. Does the file "GroovePlayer.dll" already exist? If so delete it. Have you tried "ignore the error and continue" and then see what happens?

I don't use it a lot but I keep this as a back up and a creative mixing rut buster due to its mixing desk like interface.

I use a pretty basic AMD Radeon card. I had trouble with Nvidia and latency issues so I went with AMD and have no problems. Driving a 4k TCL TV.

First things would be to make sure that windows sees your audio device and that all drivers are correctly installed. Then it is a matter of getting cakewalk setup to use your interface. Please look at the documentation. It has tutorial for setting all this up, in addition to the tutorials part of the forum.

Check in the task manager to see if there is a cakewalk.exe process running. If it is kill it using the task manager. If there is not, then a reboot might solve the issue.

Try clearing "zero controllers" and see if that makes a difference

A stereo file is partly determined by how many channels it has. If it has 2 channels then it could be a stereo file. I think what you are asking is how to know if the two channel file contains stereo information or if it only holds mono (dual mono) information. One way to tell is use as stereo meter and it has information other then on the straight up and down then it contains stereo information. Another way is to use a mid - side decoder tool and if the side doesn't have any sound then it is a dual mono waveform

You would need a laptop, or a Windows OS device and a decent USB audio interface. Processor speed is important, RAM and HD capacity and speed are important for loading virtual instruments. In general Laptops are not optimal for music production because of windows wanting to reduce performance to conserve battery power. There are people who use them it is just harder to setup and get working consistently well with a laptop.

Here are a couple of threads that could help you. Also, Azslow forum member has quite a few supported control surfaces with his custom control surface plugin. https://www.azslow.com/index.php/board,7.0.html?PHPSESSID=dkc9va3kei2fp6onostt5bpad5

If you can reproduce it I would send a zipped up version of your project, including the audio folder, to Support@cakewalk.com so they can see, and hopefully fix, those issues.

Melodyne or even the built in audio transpose may be able to do this. The quality of that much shifting would have to be up to you to decide if it is acceptable.

You could also use a template with your Kontakt setup the way you want it for new files. However, this will not load automatically if you click on a midi file. You would have to open it manually and then add your midi file to the setup midi track. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Templates_KeyBindings.2.html

I think one of the issues is that LUFs and other loudness algorithms have a time associated with them. You usually don't just say, I want this whole song to be at -20LUFS. You generally want the loudest part of the song to be at some loudness limit. The loudness will vary as the song goes along. Therefore, the program would have to analyze the whole song file to find the loudest part and then figure out what gain, compression, limiting etc. to do to get the loudest part at the desired loudness. Izotope's Ozone actually does some of this but as you play with it you see that it is more dynamic then just saying "Make this whole song this level".

That sounds like something about the difference between the active track and the selected track. I don't completely understand it but it comes up at times when you, for example, copy from the active track to a selected track but don't want to change the active track. Maybe there is something in the manual about it?

Also, bring up the audio snap pallet and turn it off. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=AudioSnap.05.html

The zoom icon just makes all the tracks smaller or larger. If you want a particular track larger then you need to drag the border of the track down or up. You can also use auto track zoom to have a different size for the selected track and a different size for the unselected tracks.

You are right. I can't get the bit rate to save anywhere either. It seems that the MP3 encoder is called after all the export settings and does not have a save. Maybe there is a configuration file somewhere? I would go to the Feedback Loop forum and add a feature request. Or maybe someone there knows how to do it.

Please see the documentation. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Exporting.08.html Especially this line 13. If you want to save the settings you created in the Export Audio dialog box, type a name in the Preset box, then press ENTER or click the Create Preset button .
