Or you could highlight the tracks you want to arm, press and hold CTRL and hit the record button. 

Works every time.

I know, but adding it with the + button would be faster. Similar to how busses work would be handy.

I second this.

It make sense to have all your track inserts like: Aux and Busses in one menu area with your "Track and Midi. Inserts."

Adding this to the "TRACK INSERT MENU" Would be a great addition. 

True what the O.P said. The insert list gets long at times and scrolling to the bottom to insert an AUX is bone wary. 

For me it's not about Aux is better than a buss - just that extra flexibility. I keep all my effects of busses and use patch points for certain drums or for recording a creative effect to blend in with the dry track. So the routing list does get extremely long. 😂 

+1 for this. 

Just my 2 cents: Those with custom themes - how does your menu list appears on one of the original themes?

появилось ли решение для моей проблемы? (не открывался bandlab внутри cakewalk)

реализуют ли открытие аудиоклипа в отдельном окне по двойному нажатию? очень не удобно редактировать в крупных проектах

Translate: 

is there a solution for my problem? (did not open bandlab inside cakewalk) Do you double-click to open the audio clip in a separate window? very inconvenient to edit in large projects

I'm allowing this track to run solo on radio for now. It's starting to make waves world wide / and / the request for a new track is high. So, I might release another single or two before I do the album. ☺

Thanks for the positive comment.

Thanks for calling the solution to my attention. With 10 pages of posts in such a short time, evidently I missed the solution.**  I tested the method by saving the "NO VIEWS 2" Workspace with a new name.  So now that I know the method, I can backup all of my workspaces and resave each as I need them.  I do wish though that we had the new list structure (folders/categories and fly out lists) for Workspaces. 

**EDIT: I am laughing at my forgetfulness--not only did I see the post, but I even gave it a "Thanks" emoji on Saturday.

What I do is. I save the workspace first, then I do the templates custom names etc. I then go to lenses folder, or I search for it /and/ copy it's file to my external.

Thanks for mentioning this! I am not sure if the implication is that we now have to tweak our existing Workspaces and resave them all to take into account the Tempo Track View [or whatever its called].  I was exploring this with a current test of something else and got a legendary c.......5 exception error.

Addendum: I tried something with a new project with an empty Instrument track added. I switched to an existing Workspace called "No Views 2" which was designed to explore minimalist Workspaces. Note that the Tempo View is not under Menu > Views.  Tempo Track Show/Hide is however available under Track > View.

I can live with this, but I suspect it might cause lots of confusion.  Not a showstopper for me; just adding this in case it helps.

   

No you dont have to tweak anything just replace it by saving it - DONE! 

It was suggested on a page number here by @msmcleodand it works. I had a problems with the subfolders the category layout - certain folders with the arrow didn't want to open/flyout/popup Automatically. I just followed his advice to another user in response to workspaces and Templates I believe. 

Opened a blank project replaced the existing one with the 04 build and voila! Problem solved. 

This might/could help for you too. Give feedback on it.

Its most likely because those folders are not sub menus as I explained above. So you need to click them to open a new menu.

Like @User 905133 said. My confusion might be what I interpret as "SUB FOLDERS." 

To make this clear: To me - the main folder is the "plugin layout" such as "category and manufacture." So what ever folders are in them - they become "Sub folder" to me.

Like in the "Category Layout" sub folder to me are the EQ, DYNAMIC, DELAY, REVERB, MODULATION, folders with the little arrow next to it - that expands the "flatbed list/flyout,popup/multicolumn" window.

😊 Probably my mistake. Sorry.

PC2A vs CA-2A:

I wonder if the PC2A is the same plugin as CA2A?

I see just one difference: CA-20 has the option to sidechain it. I don't  see this option in PC2A

 

 

It is identical. The "PC" in "PC2A" literally stands for "ProChannel." Thats it. I believe Softube had this version of it? 

So it's only a Prochannel version of it, like with some Boz plugins and Softube FET and EQ ProChannel versions back in Sonar.

We've updated the stock templates / workspaces to reflect this, but you'll need to re-save any of your custom screensets, templates or workspaces in 2021.04 to ensure they're updated.

Ahhhh! Interesting.

This might solve my problem. 😐

I’m not sure what you mean by “manually click on them”. 

What I mean is:

When you hover over the category folders -  it opens the now flatlist window automatically as what it did before. 

On certain effect folders it does not do this . . . could be my side, not sure. 

I'm not home at moment to make a video to attach. Will do it when I get back. 

Yeah. I'm loving them. ☺

😂😂😂😂😂 You know what I just noticed . . . 

THE FLATBED EFFECTS LIST

Thanks @Noel Borthwick @msmcleod @Jesse Jost and everyone that worked on this. 💃

Great layouts! Awesome menus UI! 

WHAT?! Works with MOUSEWHEEL too? Graphics improvement too? Plugins load faster too! 

BEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!!! 💃 

Guys I'm literally excited. All these caps: That's me literally screaming stumblingon new features

Appreciate everything. I really mean this. Thanks guys. 

UPDATE: Certain catergory folders i have to manually click on them to expand the window (flatlist). I've already done a reboot of my system with the same issue. Does anyone else experiencing this through the fx bin perhaps?

You regularly report bugs, which is great. If those 10+ producers also report those issues each time they occur CbB will soon become a DAW outperforming in stability (as far as is possible with the infinite number of different hard/software installs and projects...).
From what you can see on the forum, issues directly reported to the bakers are handled fast and well (I've got the impression the last few months even more than before, maybe because after introducing large very welcome additions, there's now more focus on the lasting bugs?) so if your friends participate that will be for the good of everyone. 

Thanks @Teegarden 

Yes, I try to bring my part. Like I've said: It's because I'm one of those handful that started their careers with Cakewalk. Handful meaning: Cakewalk being the 1st DAW I have touched. 

but, I'm one guy out of 18 guys I know and work with / AND / they all have their own guys they work and collaborate with on their own production. So if you put this under that "Pyramid umbrella chain thing" I can easily be part of a 1000+ producers underneath this chain. So it's difficult to get everyone to report here. Those I am close to, them I can't force if they don't want to. 

Try telling someone whom has been longer than you in the business and only starting out with cakewalk since it became free, to support the brand by reporting the bugs. You'll hear the answers you get. 

Now here the the thing: You that's forcing to look into Cakewalk to just try it out - that's promoting the product. Now come up here to report or give feedback and get answers like this - it gona start raising some questions like - why should I care about cakewalk anymore when I'm just here to help, but het answers like this in return? In return you also just dont care anymore. Coming on the forum with the mindset: If I report this they gona blame my system or windows or my workflow.

That's exhausting.

Dont shoot yourself in the foot by assuming things matey. Read to understand.

Um you are speculating. We don't need help to "rebuild the DAW" and building from scratch isnt a solution to any engineering problem. 
And your point that it crashes in X but not Y has no meaning. A crash is a bug in the plugin whether it doesnt happen in another DAW or not. 

And this is the problem. The best response here would've been. We'll consider it - right there. No one was speculating anything. There's truth in what I've said - Cakewalk is the only DAW the crashes left and right for no reason. And for you that is in management to assume that speculating say's a lot to why we can't grow here. 

I was merely just suggesting things. "Trying to help," to look this from a different point of view, but it seems that it strucked a nerve which wasn't intended nor directed towards that.

What you need to know is - we/us, thats here on the ground using this DAW collaborating with other 10+ producers using Cakewalk, we see these issues everyday, where you guys dont - and through responses like that, which you given, that right there is why we don't bother to report. 

It's sad really. I hear you though.

The five cases I've reported before are just the tip of the iceberg - literally every large mix I do in Cakewalk uncovers a bug. I've had clips disappear in take lanes when performing a series of operations on a track with the lanes collapsed. I've had glitches appear at the beginning of renders when they don't appear in playback. I mean, just this minute I opened an old mix just to refresh my memory of some bugs and Cakewalk didn't disappoint - I can't even recall a mix without encountering  a crash:

Is FabFilter to be blamed here? This is a recurring theme with Cakewalk - but Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper, etc. seem to not have this issue. If there was a way I could report every bug I encounter, and have faith that it would be taken seriously, perhaps I would report them all. An astute reader might have noticed by now that I have a lot of DAW's - this is because I've started the painful process of weaning myself off of Cakewalk and looking for a replacement, because time has shown that I can't trust it for serious work. I write this as a hail mary attempt at, perhaps, reversing this trend. Hopefully it isn't falling on deaf ears.

My comment about ripple editing and the arranger were meant to imply that a large portion of the bugs you're fixing are for recently introduced features that are at best, nice-to-haves, at worst, unnecessary.

Yep! True! 

However I've witness that certain mono plugins of fabfilter do crash in Cakewalk. At a studio I was at in London had this problem only in Cakewalk, and not in the other 4 they make use of. 

On 4/6/2021 at 2:47 PM, Noel Borthwick said:

This isn’t the normal experience for tens of thousands of users who use Cakewalk daily.  

This is highly due to users that don't bother to report on it / OR / turn to a different DAW, because of their frustration and mainly because of the Word "FREE" attached to it - Especially one that was a paid product and brand before. No brand under this umbrella will have a good name. 

With us that started their careers with Cakewalk. The handful of users it has - we can tolerate that. I say "We" cause Cakewalk was the first daw I had ever touched before moving to industry demands within the studio I had worked for at the time. 

We get, undestand and totally am greatful for the now small team running cakewalk, but maybe it's time to rebuild the DAW from scratch. Bring in people from presonus, cubase and reaper to look at it structure and engines to get it running on modern 64bit coding. 

This is asking - what could be impossible in resources at the moment, I know. Ask the question: Why don't DAWs have these many complaints, rants on the same issues after every update. Good example would be "Dropouts" and "Crashes" on the same Windows version builds and systems.

Really loved the vocal editing - that's a beautiful clear vocal you have, and the supporting vocals are very cool adds.

I also kind of thought it could use a chorus, or a b-part, just to throw another flavor in there.

nice one, thanks!

cheers,

I knew that will come back to bite me. 😅 It had a bigger chorus once, 😓 but it felt as if it was too much for this one - so I cleaned it up a bit. 

Thanks for the positive response mate. 👍

To me "Let me see if I understand. A flatbed list is a "wide window" that shows a list of categories as well as all the items in a selected category."

Almost there, but not quite. The "Wide Window" (A.K.A flatbed or multi-column) only exist within the catergory folder you're visting.

Like within cakewalk: You get the single category list, showcasing all your FX folders (in the FX Bin view) with the arrow next to it. Once you hover or click on it - it opens another single (narrow) page, where you have to click 20 times to get to your "favorite/favourite" (depend on where in the world you are) plugin. This is where the wide window will live. 

This is as clear as I can get with this. Been explaining the same thing over and over. 

And like I've said many times before on this topic: You will have the option to switch to this feature, like with the other 3 available features. Adding this to that wont break the daw as what people seems to think.
