  1. 🤣 Ek kan vir jou vertel, (I can tell you) dit het 100% geen Afrikaans ook in. (Its not afrikaans either.) 🤣
  2. Glad your issue has been solved Tez. As I have stated many times before, it "sometimes" still requires you to sign in to the bandlab site randomly at times. I have this happen many times in CbB since the in app sign in was introduced. I did my duty to report it on many occassions, but was ignored. Like I've said - if it happens again, I will record the process. So far in Sonar, I havent had this issue yet.
  3. Its been available in CbB for . . . since early last year. Cant remember the exact version it was released in, so its not new to Sonar.
  4. It does. I too have my share of login issues from time to time in CbB. When the in app login kicks me out and doesnt want to login again, I have to open my browser, jump to www.bandlab.com sign in there, then back to the app to login - and voila. It works with the old sign method for me at least . . . I'll record you the process when I do run in to that problem again.
  5. Not if it works. Which it does. It is still somehow linked to bandlab login. I have reported this many times before. You've ignored it, like you're doing now.
  6. It has been on the Cakewalk website for over a month! Before it was even announced on the forum! It includes access to free Distribution for a year. Free access to thousands of sound libraries, help to build you a fanbase and to stay intouch with them. This offers are a great start for those that are independent in their field.
  7. Again. Those who purchase a Backstage Pass now, will always be part of the BACKSTAGE PASS MEMBERSHIP aka "Early Access program." You are being given the opportunity to take advantage of this offer and to be an Early Access owner with all its offers included. Its a great and exciting offer to be part of before the general public.
  8. This is very very wrong information! People should not be reading into this. Bandlab owns Sonar, so it will always be part of a Bandlab's membership - irrespective of new price plans that might come out later | and | if Sonar starts to run on separate servers. It will always be owned by Bandlab. Those who purchace a Backstage Pass gets an Early Access membership. This means that if you own a Backstage Pass you have the privilledge of getting the full DAW including new releases and updates before the general Public! Its in the name "B A C K S T A G E P A S S" Call it a V.I.P. Membership.
  9. Top one is Sonar Bottom is CbB. How I know this? In Sonar the strips border dividers are thinner than in CbB.
  10. Whats your refresh rate of your monitor? Are you using onboard graphics or a dedicated one? Try to update all your VCredist files - old versions and new versions.
  11. You'll have to use it with bus tracks. Lets say you want to sidechain vocals to a track for radio. 1: Create a Bus 2: Route the output of the track to a stereo bus. 3: Insert a sidechain compressor (not all compressors can do sidechain) 4: Send the vocal track to the compressor input on the stereo bus track. 5: Tweak until you find your desired effect.
  12. If you have the Tape Emulator inserted on the Pro Channel, remove that module. Always remember that certain plugins try to emulate the analog hardware, so you might want to use its effect sparingly - especially that gain and mix knob. If you use such a plugin on every track its effect will become more prominent/noticeable.
  13. This is a cruel thought to have. 😔
  14. The quickest way would be to rebalance your tracks to -9dB going into your Master Bus. The best way would be to rebalance your tracks to -9dB going into your Master Bus. Gain staging seems to be the issue here. Theres also your Pan Laws and the matching levels of all your plugins to the ones on your faders. Your Dynamics could be all over the place, peaks could be hitting the ceiling of some tracks, compression could be off. Amps could be screaming too. All this contributes to an out of balance track.
  15. I do commercial work and automation works without any issues. I create my own samples in app while doing my Sound Design.
  16. You need to setup 2 seperate tracks in any DAW to play you instrumentals and to record your vocals only. Dont use the record button on the "MASTER" track. Cakewalk does not have a dedicated "Master" track without the Pan and Record button on it. This is where most confusion amongst newly users running to Cakewalk to do Podcast comes in. So your steps will be as follow. Drag your instrumental into Cakewalk. Next - hold down "Ctrl and press T" to create an Empty Audio Track. This Empty track is where you will record your voice on - not the Master Track.
  17. No. Sidechaining reverb to vocals wasnt really used until the 2000's, but it was a common technique in the film industry on screams and explosions and mostly on claps and snares in both Film and Music. As for the "Sidechain" technique itself - that has been around since the 1930's.
  18. You don't always have/need to sidechain the reverb. There's NO "secret effect." That lush reverb effect does not always work on every vocal EDM track. Sometimes only a delay is needed. It all depends on the track. You can easily destroy your vocals with compression if it's not needed. Just because your favorite singer/rapper uses a certain effect - does not mean it will work for you. We use certain effects to fill up the track and if the body is already full and round, using this effect might eat up and muddy up your track - ruining it. Even though it's meant to clean up the vocals. In the end it all comes down to your taste and approach to what works for the mix/track. If it is not needed WHY use it? 🙂
  19. We use different kind of compression in EDM. Again, an RnB approach even a Jazz approach will work depending on the track. Sometimes compression isnt needed. Its what works for you through what your monitors tell you whats in your tracks.
  20. Why not use a multiband compressor for this purpose - instead of sacrificing what might have been a good EQ sculpting before?
  21. Not quite true. Your threshold, attack and release compensate how the compressors uses its ratio. You can get a -1dB GR on a 8:1 ratio. Even a -14dB with a 2:1 ratio. Its all about what works for you to catch all your peaks with that specific track.
  22. Look at it this way. One is to tame the peaks and the other one is to glue it in the mix. You can achieve the same results by using the same compressor. It wont give you the same character as analog gear, but wil give the same results Warren is explaining here. He is a great buddy.
  23. Bounce them to track dry and store them as a sample pack. Create a new folder in the browser pane then drag and drop them from the TV in to your sample folder.
  24. The best answer here would be to learn some recording techniques. Recording is a skill on its own. One you become your own skilled Recording Engineer - working with any pitch correction plugin will become a breeze. Certain words dont need pitch correction or to have the pitch drift set to center. Then there are times when you'll have to cut the last half of a words to time stretch it (this is where that recording skill come in to play.) You might want to straighten out some vibrato in a word or you might want to add some. Everything mentioned here plays a big role before using melodyne and understanding Melodyne alone is a skill on its own. It can both ruin a recording and polish it. So knowing where and when to use it is key. We might think we know how to use it, but trust me we havent even scratched its surface. It is a powerful engine. Evertime you use it - its with a different approach. So if yoy have great recording skills, melodyne will be your best friend.
