And I tried to save a template with console docked but maximized to full screen (shift+D) and then just hidden (D again) so when I open or create new project then I can only click D once and have the console docked but full screen with a single click, but it didn't work. Tried even with screensets but no joy either unless I'm doing something wrong. Didn't filddle with workspaces, I'd prefer to have them set to 'none'.

In practice, if you have 10 instruments in your project then few instances of ST4 with 2-3 instruments per each should handle it better than a single ST4 instance with all 10 instruments.

after someone put in

still requiring the dongle?

that's certainly wrong attitude for this forum... maybe you need to re-hab

Did you seen the cyber sale on any online retailer Larry?

who's put in

I just bought Chromaphone 2 second hand and won't be able to upgrade for some time, but listening to demos I can hear that doubling the engines makes a huge difference in sound. Hopefully there will be sales on the upgrade next year.

Drag a MIDI clip into audio track and get MIDI clip copied there is not the most expected behavior, but that's what we have for now. I agree it should get bounced to audio, don't even see any need for additional dialogue boxes, just make it 'what-you-hear' and if it's dragged from a synth track then add the tail.

I think what he means by "economically" is that most of the effects are set and forget, just add to taste, but I recon he also mentioned the delays are synced to the project tempo.

No, it shouldn't if the synth is disconnected (or archived).

Yes, I agree, I can only speak for myself. We have freezing and bounce through a dialog, I was asking for a third option - say I have a synth loaded and record some ideas in MIDI, have PRV open in multidock if I want to edit some notes, then I'd like to select fragment of MIDI that I like and just drag it onto an audio track to get audio clip instantly with bounce executed in the background on the fly. That way I could collect some audio clips for my project, from an opened synth, while experimenting with different presets and melodies and without closing the synth or loosing MIDI. Not having to go through a pop-up dialog every time would be an alleviation. Typically synths have their own effects so the tail would have to be added, or make it an option. EDIT: to sum up, the freeze is for taking the load off CPU and RAM, bounce to tracks is useful if the MIDI track (or multiple tracks) is ready for bouncing to audio, but in that particular scenario bounce the selection on-the-fly (and what-you-hear) would be best for collecting single audio blocks from synth plugins, sometimes it's just as much as hitting one note or a chord and then skipping to the next preset .

Will, I'm not sure I understand you correctly, my basic English might be getting in the way. What I tried to say in my short post above was that Cakewalk is missing that simplified feature: select some MIDI then just drag it onto audio track, perhaps with the ALT key or another if that's necessary, and receive an audio clip, with bouncing in the background. The two options whether you like to have the FX and tail backed-in or not are welcome too. Right now we can't do this without a bounce dialog pop-up or unless we freeze the whole track. That's essentially the same what you are asking for, if I understand you right, with the main difference that dragging is just one click-operation, as opposed to two clicks if you're going for right-click menu. Plus with dragging you have the freedom to place it wherever you like, just as it is now when working with clips. There could be a third way to drag with the right mouseclick and once we drop the 'ghost clip', at the mouse button release, we could get the a pop-up menu with the choice for bouncing to audio but that's, again, two clicks. Converting a MIDI clip to audio in-place to keep it in the same MIDI or Instrument track is not a good option, especially if it's a MIDI track where you can't process it further with audio effects. In my scenario you would want to: drag MIDI clip onto audio track to move the MIDI clip and bounce to audio on-the-fly or CTRL+drag to copy and bounce-to-audio, but keep the MIDI clip and of course be able to use SHIFT to keep the relative position on the Time Bar That's basically how working with clips is now. Then once it is dropped as audio, in the audio track you can do all your splits and edits freely, and apply effects as you like.

I'm guessing with the send/return faders

At the beginning of second episode he says "and in the end of the series I'm gonna show you how you can do it inside your DAW"

conclusion

just select MIDI, drag onto audio track and get audio clip... very simple, very efficient, very missing in Cakewalk

something like Transform Tool for tempo view could be handy at times

Maybe it's got something in common with CLA's online mixing course that's on waves website? The second episode is live now. Then the new plugin could have a name: The returns of CLA

Dry audio output and then just copy the content of fx bin over to the new track? Could work... and there's nothing like that in Cakewalk iirc. The tail would have to be added anyway because of the synth's internal effects.

That's why, in addition to what we have already, I proposed *A NEW OPTION* to move or copy a MIDI clip or it's portion to a new place in the project with MIDI-to-audio bounce on the fly (no bounce dialog window pop-up, just pure WYHIWYG - effects and the tail applied, same as to what does freezing output) without any change to the other two - freeze and Bounce to Tracks - methods. Then each of us could use his preferred method. The new method could speed up the workflow considerably in some cases during music production... EDIT: repeating myself but sometimes just all I need is open a synth and produce several audio clips with it without closing of freezing the synth.
