This all depends on the jurisdiction of the developer. In the US, reverse engineering is pretty much a no no.  In the EU, you can reverse engineer your project files without issue, but for the most part, not the program.

For other countries it depends on their local laws, although I suspect intent also comes into it (i.e. if you're reverse engineering to copy IP or crack it), but in this case (in my personal opinion) I doubt if anyone would see it as an issue.
 

Sweet, Thanks for the info - had to make sure. 

Isn't this illegal? 😕

Doesn't work, it opens the Note Properties window. Thanks.

Then there's something wrong with your PC settings that's not picking up on these commands. What I gave you are the only way to select or deselect "Selected notes."

Yes, but unsuccessfully.

By the way the version is 2020.11 Build 099.

I'm too on that version. There was a typo in my previous reply sorry. It should be Ctrl+Right Mouse Click and Drag. 

🙈🙈

Wow. NOT a hiphop person here, but that's given me some really new perspectives. Thanks a lot.

No problem.

I tried to select more than one note with Ctrl-Click using Select Tool or even Move Tool and nothing happens. Is there something that should be done to make it work?

Thanks for any hint.

You have to Hold down Ctrl+Right Mouse drag on select led notes to select them individually. 

HipHop producer here.

So you want the classic hiphop sound? 

First of all let me start by saying - You can't really teach someone how to make a hiphop track, or any other genre for that matter (Creativity can't be taught.) It's all about your feel, taste and style. So you will never get the sounds of another mixing engineer - a lot of elements such as your "environment, mixing room, equipment, plugins, monitors etc. plays a crucial part in this too. 

I'm only saying this to prepare you for the ×1000's of mixing ways there is out here. A video will show you how to approach it, and also safe to say - only how "they" know how to do it, (probably also from a video they've seen.) So, keep this in mind. 

With that out of the way . . . 

Questions to always ask yourself: Was that an Acoustic Bass guitar that was used, OR, an Electric bass guitar? Was it Mic'd, OR, was it plugged in and had the "efx" added on later (the puns are out here.) 😂

These two approaches makes a huge difference with "headroom and real estate."It's not only for the prevention of clipping, but also to help the Bass guitar sit comfortable in the background, with the other elements around it. This old method eliminates the steps of "TOO MUCH EQ CUTS" in the low end area, but might need a "Boost" too add a little "OOMPH" in the low end area (Hence why yours sound too guitarish as you've said.) To help this sit even more comfortable in the mix, would be to add a little reverb (Barely Audible.)

Depending on the elements in your track, there will be times where only a "Saturation Effect" will do the job for you, - with compression before and after, where"SIDECHAIN" is not even required.

If you're completely doing things "In the Box" Meaning:  using a Bass Vst Instrument - you will have to create your own "headroom and background space" with a reverb. 

This is the best advice I can give you. All you need to do is - apply your own creativity to it.

I had to rebuild my computer this past week and now each time I launch Cakewalk and periodically while I'm working on a project I get the following pop up.

Nothing seems to be affected.  But I can't figure out what is causing this.

First of all do you get sound from any other files on it? Like a movie or Commercial MP3? 

If so . . . 

Click yes, another dialog box will open and select your recommended Audio Device in the Output Section on the right side of that Dialog box. 

Also send pics of the steps. 

Feature request for a more smoother and controlled scroll, to all "scrolling functions" in Cakewalk. 

It's impossible to scroll to the next chords or bar in Cakewalk. 

It's currently doing this extremely aggressively with a step scroll and taking the window to unnecessary empty space in the timeline. 

How does it run?

Any bugs to it?  

Whose the creators of this?

It is not the problem to see this before I import the file, but it is not visible anymore when I have imported the file! Thus I want it either in the name or as another information to the imported clip!

Well, then you have to save your files accordingly. Cakewalk provides us with enough required Tags/Information on every clip, but only if it's "saved as." 

On recorded tracks it will give you the Name "Record 1/Record 2" etc. as many as it can handle. Your job as the mixing engineer or producer is to rename those takes/clips on every change you makes to it and save that mix as Mix2/3/4/5 or what ever you name it too. 

It never hurts to use the "Notes" section in the inspector pane.

especially when you create clips in a program outside and want to know the version of the imported clip. 

You can do this in the Browser. Just right click on the file and select properties - all from within the Browser.  

Ps: Note that it is click sensitive. It's extremely easy to rename a sample in the browser without touching it. (ONE THING I HATE ABOUT THE BROWSER SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!)

Wish they can fix it.

Not sure what you mean with center the kick ? it's not panned left or right, it's in the center.

There was never said it was panned. I too agree - it's definitely wide. The width of the kick needs to be narrowed a bit.

Latest focusrite drivers already in.  I'm going through your other link/thread and am going through all the things I understand first. LOL  So far everything is up to date.

 

While you at it -  get the new Netframe 5.0 installed as well. It improves a few performance issues in Windows.

Still getting dropouts.  Today...I was about to playback a solo I finally nailed I got a blue screen.  After two hours the screen was still there so I had to do a hard shut down.  Is it possible it's not cakewalk or my settings?

EDIT = I just want to mention this is not the first time I've had this happen while using cakewalk.

Thanks for your replies.

Your focusriteusb.sys failed. Download the latest focusrite drivers from their website.

Beside the crash in CbB and the disappointing UI update that becomes blur at 125% resize - nothing new to their engine. 

This information is from reviews and video's I've watched when it was relaesed.

Another user on a different forum claim, a bigger graphics card is required.

With Omnisphere, there was no way to make the outputs mono

Wait, shouldn't Cakewalk force this to mono then? With the interleave? 

EDITED:

Just to make sure we're on the same page - this is what I mean.

I did - I have. Just thought this request would've been a great feature.

For 99% of use cases you'd want all the outputs to be all stereo or all mono 

I hear you. Sometimes you use the same instrument vst, but want mono and stereo inputs of it. 

A good example of this will be Xpand 2 or TTS-1.  Use 3mono inserts and 1 stereo. I make my own samples for distribution. Just thought this feature would have been a PLUS on one inserts of the same plug.

Try it now. 

Request to "Disable" Piano Roll view Note drawing that automatically switches direction from left to right or right to left.

It's irritable to have it on automatic when you work in the piano roll altering notes - especially on smaller note lengths in verse and want to drag them longer in the chorus if they're still highlited in the verse. It affects those too. 

I can't tell you how many times I messed up existing notes this way, OR - bring in stricter rules for the "highlight" and the drawing of notes outside the highlight area.
