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 .

There is a lot of useful information, including videos, for much of this stuff in the Tutorials section of the forum. Also, become familiar with the documentation as it has most of the answers, including pictures, of many of these questions.

I have had one for a few years now. The additional updates have been quite good as well.

@Kris Sutton Search your hard drive for where this file is. It could be in a default vst3 directory that is scanned automatically?

Generally the arranger tracks are for after you have parts recorded to move them around and "re-arrange". To record just a section, click on the section and it should select the time region of the arranger section. Then enable punch-in for that selection. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.02.html

Do you mean the HW output channel strips? If so I think you could do this by just creating a bus for each output you want and then routing the bus to the desired output. The HW outputs just show the signal as it goes to the desired outputs and cakewalk doesn't have direct control of the signal once it leaves the busses and goes into the HW.

Thank for sharing.

I think a picture or video of what you are seeing could be helpful. It is also useful to note that the PRV has its own on/off and snap settings. Maybe this is affecting what your seeing? If you look at the documentation it does mention something about the smartgrid setting changing when you zoom. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=4&help=ControlBar.05.html

You could also send a simple project to Support@cakewalk.com and see if they can reproduce it. However, I am sure many people, including myself. use Ezdrummer3 successfully in Cakewalk so it my be something specific with your computer setup or install.

Not that I know of.

Sounds more like a video card issue then an audio issue. Don't know how to fix it but you could try rebooting your computer, updating your video driver or see if there are some video card settings you could play with.

If this is the same device that is used by windows then make sure that windows sound has the sample rate and bit depth set to the same thing you are trying to set it too in Cakewalk

You may want to check the "plugin load balancing" setting and try it both checked and un-checked. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=NewFeatures.017.html

More important question is what are you using for an audio device to record and playback? This sounds like you are recording a mono signal to a stereo track. Toggle the track interleave button. I would suggest you watch some of the beginning tutorials in the tutorials forum and/or look at the documentation which has a few getting started tutorials as well.

Are there any other ASIO drivers installed on your system? If so uninstall them. Is this device your default Windows audio device as well? If it is you will have to make sure that windows settings and your project settings are the same, Or, don't use this audio device as the windows default audio device.

Find the VST file (dll, vst3 extension) and delete it from you hardrive. Or, if there is an un-installer in "Add Remove Programs" uninstall it from there

Pitch bend is also dependent on the settings of the VSTi so check Ample Guitar for what pitch bend should do.

It could be that the window you have on your second monitor is just another window to cakewalk or windows so when you open a new window all the others go to the back?
