.The problem with my track is that if I set the true peak at -1 and set the Limiter Threshold so that the track won't exceed -14 LUFS integrated (as suggested on Spotify website) ,  it will sound too freaking QUIET!!!

No incorrect. Do more research on the K-System, but before doing another song learn "GAIN STAGING." Once you pickup on it - your mixes will sound better.

Also, you should consider a high pass filter on almost everything.

Not a great idea. Although this is good for extra headroom in the mix -  it narrows the sound too. Certain instrument just need a low shelf cut to tame its low frequencies and still keep its body. 

Why use a high pass or low pass if its not needed? Your ears should always be the first plugin in your chain.

Don't rely too much on visual when EQ'ing too.

maybe the export should include options for including project name, track name, clip name, and track number so people can select how they want exported files to be named. 

Not a bad idea.

 i would go further and add tempo (or avg), sample rate, bit depth, stereo/mono, and time code as options as to make it more compatible with the Grammy file naming specs.

This would be an awesome addition to the naming feature. I normally add it to the projects name and clips.

EDIT 2!!! CONFIRMED! in the <Manage Workspaces> Workspace Manager dialog, if I remove the tick from the tree view of <Views/Help Module> and resave the Workspace, the Browser will pay attention to 'visible/collapsed' condition in the Workspace.
Just set up Track View with Inspector & Browser collapsed on mon1, PRV on mon2, Console on Mon3, and Video playback with Big Time on mon4 and everything comes back on new project open, or on existing mixing/spotting project session. Eggcellent!

 

Also note: when you do save these workspaces with template, it needs to be with a new clean/empty template too for it to open every time with these settings.  

This is good and all, but the request needs to run still.

We don't need to rely on third party software to do a task as simple as keeping the names clean.

OK, just installed the 2021.06 (Build 053) update, and WORKSPACES STILL ignore the visibility toggle of the Browser when saved. Can you guys see if this can be dealt with anytime soon?
Example: in Track View, I close the Inspector (I) and the Browser (B) and save workspace. Next time I choose that workspace, the Inspector is hidden at the left, the Browser still shows up on the right. I would like to see the Browser hidden when I toggle it to hide in a workspace, Please!

It seems to hide in ScreenSets just fine, but I want something that is Application universal, not just session specific.

[EDIT]
Actually just tested it on a couple of other sessions, and on my other computer, and it will not hide the Browser in SCREENSETS either.
Issue has been in the application since the inclusion of WorkSpaces!

 

You have to save the worksapce with the | a | custom template. 

You first save the workspace and then the Template. 

It will help thousands of users if it was in the insert menu from the FX bin. 

yep + 1

Found a bug.

bug was found in the 2021.06.053 build.

it was carried over to the 057build too.

suggesting here for an option for clip background colors to be altered by bus.  As of now  setting a color for a bus will affect the foreground color only, and all tracks will also use the bus's foreground color as the waveform.  I personally like to have black waveforms with clip color backgrounds (easier for my eyes anyway).

This seems like a simple thing to build in.  Hoping the bakers see this

You can already change the background and foregrounds of any clip from the inspector view.

 The Creative Labs Soundblaster Z card is a high end card specifically made for audio production, 

This is wrong. It is not for Audio Production, but merely to bring an HD system performance to the standard onboard sound card of the PC, for better enhanced quality and connection with HIFI systems (Surround Sounds with Dolby.) It was build for gaming sound and streaming. I'm a gamer too and I have this. 

These are two different worlds. 

If you download better Standard Asio Drivers like "Asio4All" you might get a better performance. It comes with higher latency settings from 0  to 2048 ms. 

So the dynamic waveform visual is not working either? 

No it works. Forgot it doesn't work with plugins or the volume. Blond moment.

I'm impressed. How did you ever find the time to become creative and flexible with all those instruments?

Heck, I didn't even know what "Bartok Pizzicato" was until it appeared in a string library, and still I had to look it up.

The old man used to listen to Bela every single day and he was a string player too. I would watch him hammering with two fingers on his own compositions for hours on end. Guess that's why apart from Guitar and piano and little bit of drums - Cello kinda grew on me too. I'll never be as good as him with that double bass snaps and emotions on it though. The glissando, gelato, fermata oh-man! It brings back sweet memories of him. 

Alright here's the deal with this plugin cutout that's driving me nuts. It happens when I move the plugin on the chain (FX bin) while it's open. I've manage to pinpoint that out - however as soon as I stop playback and and start play again - it works again. Also, If I close the plugin it cuts back in.

So please I'm asking the staff to look into this to see if they can reproduce this. It doesn't happen every time and I'm lost for words. I literally spend the entire day installing everything again. I thought it was a windows update issue of some kind and did my studio system over - just to run into this right now again!

Finally prove!

Yes Windows is up to date, and I religiously do weekly maintenance scans and tasks every Saturday morning.

Yeah. I too do regularly every week. You didn't perhaps find yourself logged out of a few accounts to that computer right after the update?

I'm trying to find out whats causing my issue. Here's a hand of members that complaint about plugins that don't work. I ran twice into that problem and can't seem to point out how or whats causing it. So maybe it's a Windows update? Are you on 10 or 11?

I didn't have any issues with 3rd party plugins, but have serious issues with ProChannel and had to re authorize add on plugin modules I purchased years ago from the Cakewalk SPLAT store.

After doing so ProChannel became unstable and on some channels, but not all, the audio signal would pass thru all modules, but wouldn't pass thru and reach the buss until I SHUT OFF ProChannel. 🤬

But after shutting it off, I could still assign either Waves Sheps Omni Channel or Eventide UltraChannel and stack any other VST plugin to the FX bin. However the only Cakewalk FX I can use from ProChannel in the FX bin is the CA/2A Leveling Amp and NOTHING else will run as a stand alone VST.

Don't get me wrong I REALLY appreciate the free support and all the added features & stuff, but I happy paid a few hundred dollars for the add on ProChannel FX modules which became essential GO TO tools for 90% of my DAW projects..

 

Did you update windows recently?

I'm not sure why this should be happening, maybe @Jonathan Sasor can shed some light on it...

The only thing that springs to mind is that you've compressed you're drive?  This is known to cause issues with ProChannel modules.

If this is the case, decompress the following folder:
 

C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal

 

Isn't this because the Splat modules overwritten the module's of CbB? They're the same, but different dll's.

Using split instrument tracks is more of an advanced way of using soft synths in any case (as opposed to simple or per output instrument tracks), so its likely you'll need to adjust things manually anyway.  Of course you can always choose "All" then delete the tracks you don't want.

I guess you're right.

I just don't see the point in choosing "All" and delete the once i don't want. The point of that feature was to insert the amount of tracks the user want, but it never gotten the attention it deserved.

I'll go old school. Not a big deal. 

I think we can completely remove Split instrument track. It's even more broken now. 😅

The inserts are correct, but now the user can't choose how many they want as it gives the Maximum split tracks on "All Mono" and "All Stereo" 

For me the best inserts are still the Manual way. Insert the instrument track and add 2 or 3 Audio tracks myself if I only want to add a Kick, Snare and Hihat from the drum plugin or any plugins supporting track outputs.

This update is still a great improvement.

You can't force me to use the browser if it doesn't work for me and my workflow. End of story.

Are you sure it's not a plugin that has decided to deauthorise itself ? 

XLN Audio (e.g. Addictive Drums) does this regularly on Windows updates - once re-authorized, it's fine.

No. Believe it or not, this is all Sonitus delay (for stereo width) and the Channel Tool  plugin with the free Boz width plugin using the TTS-1 to create drum stems. 

Dinosaurs died out eons ago. This is the future.

Stop holding this DAW back in the past! 

Here's definitely something wrong with either the new Windows Updates or Cakewalk. Plugins seems to cutout now. As soon as you delete and re-instert. It works again. Same goes for when you keep it on Save the project and reopen it. 

Also with this VST 2 32bit issue I had. 

I'm trying to replicate this, cause I ran into this like 5mins ago.

Should I send a dump file? 

I have search for this, but cant find a thread for it. 

Option to have a "Plugin Search|Search Audio FX option" right on the FX Bin area by double clicking anywhere on an empty space in it | OR | by CTRL+Right Click (for quick access) and as an option available by right clicking and have it first in that MENU too. 

Reason:  Not every user make use of the browser to add effects or instruments/synths. My workfow is that of in place inserts - where i am in the project and not having to move away from that.

It's a quick workflow (Extremely important.) 

Right clicking in the clip view  to bring it up will be even more helpful too.

That can't be true due to the amount of request for a sampler and that hasn't been done ... Yet... Lol... I do a +1 for this as well.. even Reaper has a wave form for the samples played.

Was looking for the evidence through all my requests, but dang! There's too many to read. 😟

Real-talk! I was told this in my early days of requests on the forum.😅

I too +1 this.
