Will.

Update: @Glenn Stanton @Bruno de Souza Lino

Yeah - cakewalk got you covered.  The green track is the "Entire mix bounced" of those two tracks as read by the tracks name. 

1) To do this: Select the tracks you want to bounce as one clip.

2) Move to the Track tab and select "Bounce to Track." 

3) Select what you want to include in the bounce by selecting the small boxes. Dry or Wet. 

4) Go to Source (As seen in the dropdown menu shown in the picture) and select how you want to bounce it between Tracks; Buses, Hardware outputs or Entire mix.

that would be a handy feature - i'd caveat by saying it might be nice to have something like this as a "bounce to clip" function where i could select a number of tracks and do a fast bounce to a new clip/new track with the source track effects etc being applied. something much faster than a "record" activity.

I think this can be done already in CbB (Not sure though - I might be thinking of another DAW I've done this in.) 

Nowhere near my laptop or studio to check quick.

I think it's about time to get rid of it, don't you?

Not Cakewalk doing this, but your computer.

It optimizes for best performances itself. You have to turn the option off manually in settings.

Hi ! I still work with SONAR X1 LE that suits to me. I get problems with VST Plugins as the X1 LE cannot read them: too recent.... So I wanted install Waves (amp simulations) and in order to be able I was told to use Cakewalk by BandLab ..... which is ex Sonar.

My concern is that I might loose all my data in Sonar X1LE when installing Calkewalk by BandLab as it has the same files in 😄 like Calkwalk Content (Audio Library, Midi Library, SONAR X1 LE) and Calkwalk Projects (where all the detailed trackfiles are). Not only the recordings but also the effects that I have used from S-Gear (mainly) could be lost....

Is it possible to know what happens if I install Calkewalk by BandLab with these files and effects ? When I start to install Cakewalk by Bandlab, it starts with the installation of these 2 files Calkwalk Content and Projects: will the X1LE files and effects still be there or will this replace the X1 LE content and projects and I would  have to re-install not only these but also the plugins for the effects ? I ask that as one year ago I had a monster crash with my computer and the hell a lot of problems to re-install the plugins for the sound effects......

Thanks in advance !

Walt🙂

I used LE back in 2013 (Still have my disc.) Moved to platinum, now Cakewalk by Bandlab. It will be the best musical move you'll make.

Do so.

This is the section that I specifically quoted and responded to - emphasis on the part that most stands out to me:

Now, go watch the video and you will see it is pretty much exactly what he demonstrated in his screenshot, and what he's asking for in his post.

It's okay to steal features form other DAWs, BTW.  Happens all the time.  Where do you think Articulation Maps come from? 

Dude, can you stop? It's my request. Just disagree with it and leave it at that. 

I know of few DAWs I've worked in visiting other studio's that have this feature.

You and Solarlux can talk about his request.

Oh...  A personal attack in response to someone disagreeing with a "feature request."

Also missed the second part in the initial post, but I will go back to look and see if that is "my bad."

Nope.

But your revision is noted, I'm sure.

It's the same thing! Scroll to be restricted to the last clip in the project. 

On "SCROLLING" alone.

added space will be added for copy and paste or drag and drop/paste.

No, he wants to easily be able to replace every instance of a sample/clip on a track by dragging the new sample onto the track - as is done in ACID Pro.

4:35 in this video: DJ Pain 1 (50 Cent, Ludacris, 2Chainz) | Creating a Beat from Scratch in ACID Pro - YouTube

The best way to get the instruments into Cakewalk is to "Rack them in" from Reason Intro.  It's not free, but it will give you all of the Synths, Samplers, and Drum plugins you need to get started... and they're better than just about all the free stuff out there - as a package, definitely.  I'd do the same with a DAW like Pro Tools or Samplitude, as they are missing similar tooling OOTB.

One and done.

Can be gotten for about $80 or less (tax free, in the US) from the right retailer.

For a Sample Editor:

Get Sound Forge Audio Studio and set it up as an external audio editor.  That works well.  It's just unintuitive because you have to set it up with registry edits.

This isn't Acid, this is Cakewalk. He said he wants a Sampler. Don't choose for him when he said he wanted a Sampler Editor. 

48 minutes ago, Maestro said:

Because maybe you want to drag and drop a clip to bar 92 of the project?

Other DAWs allow you to set a project length, but they will also make space if you drag something there.

A hard restriction would be awful.

I have like 5 DAWs on my computers, so I'm not buying "every other DAW works this way."

That's is 100% false.

Maybe if you try to live your life more positively, instead of negatively - you would've realized that this is only for "scrolling" the project. 

Space will be added as soon as you select and drag a clip.

I thought principle how drum replacer works but special track where i can replace for example drum sound used, For example i have kick and i put kick audio files events  in some rythm and posibility to replace kick audio files with other kick sound in events, In simple words - I make audio track where i place one drum sound in some rythm and i don't like this kick sound and i want to change it with other kick sound wav file i drag on track new kick sound and all kick sound events replaced by new sound

I get what you're saying. You want a Sampler Editor. It's been requested many times.

Hopefully: Dont know if it has been picked up by the team. Maybe in the near future. For now there's alternative free plugins,

Sitala (Decomposer)

TX16W

Grace Sampler

sforzando

DrBeat

Google each one.

Waveform preview option from tracks in Piano Roll Background For example i Have piano instrument and i have Vocal audio track and I showing my vocal Audiotrack waveform in my Pianos pianoroll background  like in Wavefoirm preview option but possibility to show any waveform from any audio track in Piano roll background

I was actually thinking about this the other day working on a project for a client. 

The cherry on this would be if it's done in a dynamic waveform. Meaning: if you tweak the velocity, pitch or volume - the waveform in the backgroud will follow this, to even out those spikes while in the PRV.

For the record the dropout issue reported by @aidan o driscoll has been resolved. I did a teamviewer session with him and found the source of his problems.
Its a driver problem with handling multiple clients at different sample rates and unrelated to Cakewalk.

In his case his Windows configuration was set to use the EVO-4 device at 24 bit 96K and Cakewalk was set to work at 24 bit 44.1K.  When I loaded his project on his system the driver appears to go into some infinite loop trying to fight Cakewalk setting the sample rate to 44.1. You can see the icons on the taskbar flashing and the driver refuses to switch to 44.1. I can't see what its doing behind the scenes but I expect its sending an infinite loop of ASIO restart notifications to Cakewalk which would explain why Cakewalk drops out immediately and then appears to hang.

I changed the Windows sound settings configuration to 16 bit, 44.1Khz for all the input and output ports for the EVO and after that everything works perfectly. We even loaded his project with the driver set to run at 16 samples and it worked perfectly.  I'm not sure why it defaulted to 96K in Windows since Aidan said that he didn't set it up that way.  I've seen many audio drivers malfunction when used at different sample rates so the first step of troubleshooting should be to either set windows to not use the audio device or make sure that its using the same sample rate/bit depth as Cakewalk. If you have an onboard soundcard, often the easiest thing to do is set Windows to use that instead.

The fix for running the device with two apps (Windows and Cakewalk) at different sample rates would have to come from the driver vendor. Aidan please start a correspondence with them.

Yeah - I've been giving this advice a lot. Seems like new users and those who feels they have more experience don't believe this.

I haven't had any dropouts of such, since I have discovered this in my Windows 7 days and still used the LE version of Sonar using only Asio4All back in 2013. 

The only time I would and still get some sort of dropout, will be with a plugin that does not support the sample rate I use with Windows 10 and the DAW. It's also extremely important to know to check if your "Favorite" plugins support these sample rates and if they have the setting to be set accordingly. 

Another important step to know: Is to never use generic drivers other than that of the devices manufacturer - including your motherboards drivers from their website. With different machines - windows intend not to have a great generic version for it. 

I think this needs to be added in the documentation too.

This would be awful, especially if it were a default.

How would this be awful when every other DAW works this way? When zoomed in - scrolling in your DAW  is suppose to work this way! 

When you have a project of 90bars, why do you want to view bar 92, when there are no more clips after Bar 90 of your project?

ASIO working the way it should. Will try on my other system tomorrow and see if same. I move the EVO tween 2 systems

Often times the onboard soundcard drivers clash with that of the interface. Much like Asio4All clash with most Interface drivers. It is recommended to disable the onboard soundcard to only use the drivers of your interface.

Most machines don't require this, but just to keep in mind for a next time remember this. I run Scarlett and everything else is disabled on my Studio Machine, to give my Focusrite Scarlett solely permission to use as the main and only soundcard - with the sample rate of windows synced with my interface.  

Results: No Dropouts!

 next bit is your request for it to be moved to q&a, right?

 

Yes because it's a topic for a Q&A. Cakewalk already give's us infinite tracks to route outputs to with Patchpoints and Sends. 

This is not the platform to discuss this. Inbox if you want to talk about anything. This thread is for feedback on 2021.01.

Request for a future feature to mute sends and busses when solo'ing a Track with command keys.

Like linkPFsendMute Can we get a Command (as mentioned) to mute sends and busses when solo'ing a track too? 

Alt+Shift+clicking the solo button to solo every other track and sends link to them to solo that specific track. 

I know there are producers/mixing engineers that prefer this to be on, but like them - there are some of us that prefer the sends and busses to mute when solo'ing a track.

Let's cater for both workflows.

Why?

Cakewalk is already moving away from Windows 7 due to demands that Windows 10 brings with running applications on it's platform and updates to Win7 not being available anymore (Discontinued.) 

This means software developers have to move in the direction Microsoft takes them. 

Most newer installations don't support Windows 7 anymore.
