    How Can This Be Happening???????

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    UPDATE: This problem seems to be related to my Tascam USB20X20 USB 3.0 interface. Updated driver: No luck Disabled ports on motherboard and installed new USB3.1 card: No luck. I am close but just can't pin it down yet. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Check your plugins - it could be a vst. Bypass each one individually and check if it still happens. 

    Also check if the project you open are not linked to a second project that might be hanging open and "Saved As."

    I had this rare issue last year sometime.  I had two projects open and every 30 mins or so, I would flip between the two, to make the deadline. Somehow, they got linked and saved as such.  

    I had to go through 20 saved versions to fix this issue. It took me a while to figure this out. Thought-oh-no! Project lost. 

    If you have different copies of the same project - open the from the project folder and see if the problem still persist.

    Audio keep dropping out even though buffer size is maxed out

    I even increased the buffer size as much as it will go both from the cakewalk preferences interface and the ASIO panel of my audio interface.

    Depending on your systems specs, you should be fine at 512.

    If you have Asio4All installed - delete it. What core is your CPU and how much Ram do you have installed?

    Also disable Cakewalks Upsample in the control bar - it's the "×2"  in the MSR module. 

    Next: Make sure all your windows cumulative updates are installed and that you have the latest Asio Drivers from Focusrite installed.

    Also make sure the sample rate of your interface are the same as that of your project in Cakewalk. 

    Stop all background applications that might be running.

    Different machines = different approach in solutions. Your fan speeds of your PSU and CPU also plays a part in this. 

    There's also your vsts - one that might not be trully compatible with CbB.

    If you have multiple projects open. (That's more processing being read.)

    It really helps if you can give more details of your system and windows version. It could be anything that can cause a dropout. 

     

    Feature Request - Make Now Time the Default Record Start time

    in Feedback Loop

    Some of the best features to me are the ones that save users time and therefore make their workflow easier. Ideally this is done by shortening how many clicks or numbers are typed in to accomplish something.  

    For example, I'm off listening back to a tune and suddenly hear where I need to do a punch in. So I click stop (the space bar) right around where I want to punch in. It's real drag to have to type in the exact time or measure and beat where I want to punch in. So how about making the default record start time be whatever the now time is? If a user doesn't want that, then no big deal, the user does what we've always done: Type in the type we want. But if the user wants the now time to be the record start time, then the user is saved from having to enter in the record time.

    Don't you wana download the PDF document rather? 

     

    COOL NEW IDEA! - Console View Folder Mix Modules

    in Feedback Loop

    Posted · Edited by Will_Kaydo

    Actually I do send all my drums to a drum BUS etc., as well as separate Busses for instruments, vocals etc., My reason for the request is that when I'm in Console View with a project that has 87+ Tracks to have to scroll all the way over to the BUS window or even pull it out from hiding on the far right is a moment to tedious at times. It would be nice to have the mix module controls of track folders stagnant in a central location illustrated for a quick and easy use, and I don't have to scroll away from the tracks I'm currently working on.

    I don't know. I never had a problem with dragging the bus pane In and Out. In fact, im using the Console View less everyday - adapting to woking in the Track View every second. 

    Reason: I solely work in floating windows. I can easily do automation this ways. I'm a sucker for shortcut key bindings whether by default or custom. I view the Bus Pane in full window by Shift+B. If I do use folders - all my folders are where I want them to be and I find it easier to mix this way. Although, I hardly make use of folders - too much and unnecessary click work for me. 

    Sorry, but yeah - I don't see how this could work. It's adding more steps in my view.

    You'll be scrolling back and forth to the individual track folder, click to view it and scroll to your track. 

    Absolutely nothing wrong with the idea though!

    Maybe it's just me?

    Articulation Help.

    Also, the MIDI transforms can convert one set of MIDI data to another on the fly.

    For instance, say you have a synth that uses polyphonic aftertouch (an example being Z3ta2) .  Now, at this time,  the PRV has no way to display polyphonic aftertouch (maybe a feature request).  However, it can display Channel aftertouch MIDI events in the PRV.

    The MIDI Transform in articulation maps can convert the displayed Channel aftertouch into Polyphonic Aftertouch in real time.

    The beauty of this is that you can keep the Channel aftertouch events in a form that can be readily edited in the PRV.  Articulation maps will convert them to Polyphonic Aftertouch in real time.
     
    Before articulation maps, editing polyphonic aftertouch events was a real pain.

    Nice one! 

    The video's was helpful too, although it's what I know already.

    So basically it is just a technique that affects the Dynamic, Length and the relationship change in a performance. 

    I'm taking up tv scoring and it'll be my first work in television. That's why the reason on a bit of knowledge, education and information are required, other than the "self-taught" from just playing around with it since it was introduced in the DAW.

    As to why... I really can't add much more to what @Creative Sauce says about it.  The whole first half of his video is on why you might need them. 

    Obviously if the VST's you use don't support any sort of key-switching, then you probably don't have a need for them.

    Both videos cover how to create your own maps.

    Viewing them now. They are appreciated. 

    Thanks.

    also when i load up cakewalk, it scans and picks up all 178 plugins, and i can see them and put them in  the fx rack, just cant open/use them 

    FWIW: If you're not signed in after installation is done. No plugin will be assigned - it is literally the only thing I can think of that can cause that problem.

    Any "detailed" CbB tutorials on how to use Articulation anyone can guide me to? I know the basics, sort of - I think.

    Is It very different from izotope vinyl?

    Cheers

    But without the "Mechanical Noise" and "Electrical Noise" modules.  

    Instead - it has a distortion module in the place of that. Plenty of useful. I use it as a distortion effect more often as the vinyl module. 

    Give it a try.

    Tonebytes Vinyl

    Not only is this a favorite vinyl effect of mine, it also comes with distortion and fully automation capabilities. 

    Though it's in 32bit and long forgotten, I find myself creating awesome and interesting sounds with it. I primarily use it for it's distortion on snares, kicks and vocals. This brings that "candy" I need in my sound creation and especially (as mentioned) on vocals. Whether lead vocal, edits or chorus - it always finds a home in my projects. 

    It also emulates the sound of the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and "New" ("modern.") It all depends on the taste and style you're after. 

    And . . . 

    Guess what? It's absolutely free!
