  1. Just wondered how a dry reverb could sound...?
  2. Since we're on that subject... there's no way that any, I mean any, kind of sampler could integrate with the DAW at the level of a sampler track, no matter how simple or sophisticated it is, it will always need to be loaded first before we can proceed with working on the sample, taking extra resources and getting somehow in the way every time we reach for the next sample. Here's perfect opportunity for the DAW to reach out to the user.
  3. Mark, the next update will be an update to the 2020.11 release or you mean the whole next release? Thx
  4. Could it be somehow related to this another person's issue reported here?
  5. The only thing I consider dated here is when I have Cakewalk open using always dark skin (Tungsten), then they are hurting my eyes while working with them. Didn't expect making an alternative dark skin for them would be so troublesome.
  6. You're better off to mention it in the 2020.11 feedback thread so that they could see it now and take into consideration while they're still red-hot from working on it.
  7. I actually like it, it's like WYHIWYG (what you hear is what you get) @ 32bit floating point (in default setting) meaning most seamless MIDI-to-audio.
  8. No it wouldn't require to convert it to wave track, that's what freeze is already. If you see my previous post above, I specifically said about another, or new, audio track: "drag a clip or selection of MIDI to another audio track (or empty space to create a new track) - with a key modifier - to bounce MIDI to audio clip on the fly". So there is freeze for instant MIDI-to-audio where no additional settings are involved (but you loose further access to MIDI unless you unfreeze back again) and it's best if you want to turn the whole midi track to audio and only work in audio from now on. The other two methods I know for bouncing MIDI to audio are Bounce to Tracks where a few additional steps are required on a settings page meaning no on-the-fly in practice, and export to audio file and then drag it from browser or explorer into project afterwards but that's even more steps. What I suggested is something between freezing and bounce to tracks, an instant MIDI-to-audio but leaving MIDI untouched and placing audio clip on another track with automatically tail being added. Like I said, useful for example if you want to keep your synth open and just make different melodic ideas in a MIDI track using different synth presets and immediately drag them directly into your audio part of the project with a single step. Hard to believe only me and Will see that useful... EDIT: actually I see that Will has another use for it but the idea stays the same We're nearly 2021 in digital era, we'd love our DAWs make as many tedious tasks for us and take the daunting part of the job out of equation, no?
  9. +1 oh yes! where can I download? it's beautiful
  10. Kindly repeating the question... I'd like to know, if possible, when to start collecting pennies, instead of spending
  11. Can't find anything on sale at jrrshop or audiodeluxe? Looks like the sale is only on XLN website?
  12. I'll try to bite it this way: to drag a clip or selection of MIDI to another (audio) track (or empty space to create a new track) with a key modifier, not sure what's left there, maybe ALT+drag, or is that already occupied? ...anyway, to *automatically* (on the fly) bounce MIDI to audio clip and put it there, plus it *should* automatically add the tail (according to the freezing setting). Yo'all know I'm a sucker for quickest workflows . Could that be a valid feature request?
  13. So there's no real alternative to Soothie or Gulfoss for much more reasonable price? Guess bx_refinement won't make it.
  14. I remember a discussion on that in the past and part of the reasoning why is Cakewalk not supporting mousewheel scrolling was that it uses native Windows pop-up menus which don't support scrolling either... or something along the lines. Don't remember what was the reason that scrolling was possible in another DAWs though.
  15. Even worse... As it is not popularity of product itself despite of its inferior quality than competitors. It is popularity of manufacturer... why is Ford the best cars manufacturer (WV in Europe)...? because all my neighbors are driving them (oops: no offense if you're driving Ford or WV! I didn't mean they are bad cars, I only mean that they are more popular from what I, or someone else, might consider a better car... just like Guitar Rig ... I better shut up now🤐)
  16. typical plebiscite , a popularity rank more of like...
  17. yeah, what Collin says, better watch the whole video, it's in you favor Articulation Maps will do all you're asking, it is a time saving feature and will give you better visual overview (and it does trigger keys)
  18. I see you mean Bounce to Track(s)... yeeeeeah... fact it's there, still not perfect, I have to step through the bounce setup window every time, it's good for bouncing a few clips together though but, for single clip, freezing still probably better option plus freezing adds the tail at the end automatically and I can drag/copy the audio clip directly inside Cakewalk if I want, just need to unfreeze all over again at the end of every cycle, anyway... nitpicking
  19. scook is right, the synth is unloaded from memory and CPU, what is still missing in cakewalk imo, is a simple, direct 'bounce to audio' command (no freeze, no record audio, just a quick-bounce an audio clip from selected portion of MIDI) which is strange in such an already powerful DAW say I have open an VST instrument and want to produce couple of audio tracks with it using few different presets and melody ideas and then just place the audio clips into project accordingly, that's were it fails to do it seamlessly, too much hoops to go through there edit: yes I too do open audio folder in windows explorer and drag the newly created audio files into project after freezeing, but like I said, too much of a hassle for something that should be able to do easily with a single command inside DAW
  20. try the built in cakewalk rematrix with default preset if you want to give the instrument a sense of space (a live room), just set the dry/wet so you don't hear the reverb anymore but you can tell it's gone when you bypass it, I love it
  21. Exactly, my observation as well. Setting the right amount of sends/returns seem to be the main factor. Plus why would I want to mess up something already done good
