Mr. Torture

I can select all nodes, hold shift and move them all up or down at once, but is there a way to select all and move them incrementally as opposed to using the mouse, which is a pain?

individual nodes I can select, right click and change under properties, but when you select them all, which have different  values, I do not have an option to change them as a group.

thanks!

I have an older PC, custom built by PC Audio labs. I think it’s around 13 years old.

I would like to upgrade to solid state drives, do you think it’s worth it? Or should i just replace the whole PC?

Thanks in advance!

Very cool song and excellent performances. Bapu, did you hire these musicians to perform on your song? 

Yeah, I searched and all content in that folder is gone. Very disappointing.  I had a backup, but that external drive died so I am SOL.

just hard to believe that if the hard drive is bad or going it would only target that one folder.

I haven't updated but I read that there were some problems, have you checked that the path to your audio folder in the preferences is correct?
Maybe the update selected the default one.
Good luck

Yeah all paths are correct. All files / audio are gone.

I would like to add that the “Cakewalk Project” folder has a creation date of yesterday, the same day I did this update. I have had this computer and folder for over 12 years. No other folder on the drive was affected.

I have not turned on my computer in a few weeks, I fired it up and started Cakewalk. It asked me to do an update which I did. Now my project folder is empty? I can find other project files on the same drive and other drives, but the specific folder is completely empty. I know it's the correct Cakewalk folder and it did not change the location in settings when it updated?

I came here to ask a legitimate question about a feature the software offers, just looking for some pointers and maybe some insight. I don’t know why you felt you needed to post this. Not only does it add no value to the thread, it’s disrespectful. Maybe you think you’re being funny or you are bitter. Don’t know, but please just avoid comments like this in the future. It’s old and not productive.

Except for instruments like piano, for most instruments the transients are very difficult to find. Very often there are several places where a note/hit could have its transient and depending which one you choose it sounds completely different. With guitars, winds and vocals it's especially challenging! Guitar transients can be at the pick/finger click, but also at the real tone start or somewhere in between. And this varies often in the same playing whether rhythm or lead, but it is usually a recognizable pattern.

That's why DAWs and other programs (like Melodyne) very often fail to find the transient "felt" by the musician! This can be proved, if you take the same audio clip and let several programs find the transients. You will be surprised how different the results will be!

That's the reason why I check through all the transients manually and most of them won't be placed at the DAWs propositions! Then there is also the swing feel of the musician that plays in. Usually I try to find out what was the intention, before I quantize the transients to this feel, i.e not to the exact grid (in Reaper this is easier, because you can define a swing into the grid, but in Sonar I do this manually).

By the way, because of the poor automatic transient detection I don't think it will be realistic with a lot of A.I. ideas in the near future! ?

Thank you for your response, it’s very helpful!

So I have been playing around with audio snap, I assume this is what you use to perfectly align audio to the grid. Some things sound a bit wacky and stuttering, I assume it because I am snapping the wrong transients. 
 

Maybe it’s because I am trying to snap distorted guitars? The transients rarely land right on the beat and I know my timing isn’t that bad lol.

How do you guys normally time guitars?

Thanks!

Is there a way to save a volume automation envelope so I can recall it and apply it within another session? 

How can I reset the view? It’s kinda messed up to where I cannot see to move velocity?  Any way to just reset it back to default?

thanks!!

Never mind, I figured it out. Originally I posted where the themes were kept, 

I will try it again tonight and see if I can replicate it, take some screen shots.

The other day I was trying to fix a slight off time guitar part, I went through the process and everything seemed ok, but when I went to finalize the process (Bounce to clips) the option was not there? The only way I could select bounce to clips was to shut off the audio snap? Which kinda defeats the purpose?

What’s the best way to backup my program so it saves all my track templates etc? 
 

should I back up the entire c drive? 

If you have a send to a buss setup on a track with a reverb in the effect bin and you save the track as a template, will it save the buss & effect along with it?

One of the major advantages with these newer monitors is, they allow you to hear sounds clear and more distinct than you did 10 or 20 years ago because the technology is more advanced inside of them.  I listened to my KRK's and older Yamaha and the clarity the Frontier monitors  were remarkable and what I heard was cleaner and much better because of the technology that didn't exist 10 or 20 years ago.   I don't blame him for upgrading his 23 year old monitors because the inner parts are 23 years behind the current time.

My thoughts as well.

I have an Ilok usb drive with some licenses on it. Can I move all of them to the ilok cloud and remove the usb? If so, what's the easiest way to do that?

Thanks!

What makes you think you have to "upgrade" something just because it is a few years old?

I have done a bit of reading and they say monitors are usually good for a maximum of 10 years. I cannot help but think after 23 years that they may not be operating at peak performance. Plus technology has eclipsed these monitors long ago.

Realized that I posted this in the wrong section, if someone could move the "Gear" it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a set of Mackie HDR824's, they are around 23 years old. I think it's time for an upgrade, was wondering what you folks thought about Focal products?

Thanks!

DC offset was unchecked. I opened a project with 4 guitar tracks and one instance of Superior drummer 3 (about 2 gigs drum kit)

set buffers to 128 and it played back perfectly fine.

here is what the engine was doing.

The expansion cards for the RME AIO don't utilize PCIe (no conducting paths).

But the distortion in your example is really severe and doesn't sound like only buffers dependent.

Could that be a recording of two sources at once with "Remove DC Offset During Record" enabled/checked?

Look in Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording and uncheck the above option if enabled.
 

Thank you for the information about the expansion, good to know! I will check that setting, but if I simply change the buffers to 256, all that distortion and weird clicking goes away. I just imported in that stereo mix for the example, it would do the exact same thing if I tried to record a single track of guitar.
