Did the "Instert Audio Tab" worked with the mouse wheel before? My list is a bit longer now, but can't scroll with the mouse wheel. Clicking to the bottom of the list feels ancient. 😭

For a future request . . .

Is it possible to hide the post EQ visual box (shown in the picture) on the console without the "Post; Clip-Indicator and Power Button" being hidden too?

At the moment when it gets hidden those features hides too.

That may be... but when talking to these friends of mine, I literally have weekly meetings with a composer using Logic and we both use the term "freeze" to mean temporarily bouncing the synth audio and unloading the synth from memory. 

There are other terms that have been interesting, such as clips are called "regions" in Logic, which I've learned from working with him. 

Similar story with another producer I work with who only uses Protools and Ableton. 

So..... /shrug. Don't know what to tell you. 

Yep.

Bonnet/Hood; Seriette/Napkins; Tomato Sauce/Ketchup

"Freeze/Bounce/Render/Lock." 

You can youtube or google it. 

Potato - Patato.

Different parts of the world.  

When inserting two mono inserts of the TTS-1, the DAW crashes. Also no sound coming through while recording the Midi insert in Mono.

FWIW, I've used the term Freeze with other engineers using Cubase, ProTools, and Logic, and they all mean the same thing to those other people, so I'm not sure what other DAWs you're using where it means something else ;).

 

FYI - With everyone using Pro tools, Cubase and logic. It means to lock the clip it place.

Freeze the instrument track, drag clip to desktop. This has been my method since freezing was first introduced.

Literally thought "Freeze" was just to lock clip in place. Might have used it in the past and probably forgot when AUX and Patch points was introduced 5/6 years ago. 😧😳

Freeze is a one button option

 

 

@scook My guy - first of all I want to apologize. I've found what I was looking for and requested. 

For years I'd literally thought "FREEZE" was just another name for "Clip lock" as how it is in most DAWS - that's why i never bothered to use it. I've always just RIGHT CLICKED on the clip itself and chose "CLIP LOCK" to lock a clip in place.

So, I thought "Freeze" was to lock the clip and that's why i didn't first caught what you meant.

I think the naming should change to MIDI RENDER/BOUNCE instead of freeze. I think it might help a lot of users with navigation. 

Strange thing is . . . I'm working 12 years in a professional studio and never knew this in cakewalk. I always just recorded the track to an aux.

So now I know "FREEZE" in cakewalk is to "Render/Bounce" a midi clip/file in place inside the daw. 😑😧

Aside from real time recording NOTHING will happen instantly.

Freeze is a post record option that uses the same tracks(s) as the synth. It is one button click.

Bounce is a post record option that adds new audio tracks. Can take a minimum of three clicks (includes counting the click for track focus).

These are the options available while waiting for this request to materialize (should the ever elect to add this 4th option).

Exactly . . . It'll be much appreciated to if we can get the "On place render/bounce" from Midi to Audio on site - where and option to "render" the midi file to audio on place within the daw. 

This will obviously need a feature to "undo" the render/bounce file on site (Which ever you prefer using.) I just think this will be an awesome edition to our DAW as a future request.

Working strictly with audio files saves a lot of CPU consumption too. 

I'm playing around as we speak. Still feel like too much work and the audio track being there for what I'm trying to accomplish - makes no sense having it there if you can't quantize it with the midi together.

Synth recording using split tracks takes no extra setup or tracks. Click the record button(s) and start recording. After recording MIDI, audio or both are instantly available.

Freeze is a one button option

Bounce to track(s) may be bound to a keyboard shortcut or added to the custom button module.

 

 

Still too many tracks.

How do you fix quantization on both midi and audio tracks with the split option at the same time?

That's why I prefer doing patch points or Aux tracks recording, cause being able to only quantize the midi and having an un-quantized audio file doesn't make sense.

The tab sets up the default editor.

CbB already has the ability to record synth audio and MIDI at the same time

No patch point is needed.

 

What I mean was . . . the ability to "bounce" a midi file "instantly" to wave file - with just a click of a button, without having to setup extra tracks to record your midi clip to. 

See the clip in the picture? Wouldn't it be great to just select an option from that tab on the clip itself and turn it into an audio file instantly.

The less you do, the more you get out. 

Pretty sure you didn't highlight every single track. 😅

10  years later and i'm still making this mistake. Drag every track from the number down to the last track. Don't just "Ctrl+A" make sure the numbers are highlighted too. 

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to bounce a midi file instantly to audio wavefile independently - having the option available in the TAB shown in the picture.

Recording through patch points are cool, but it sometimes messes up the individual track. Plus, having the daw to instantly bounce the file to and audio wavefile within the daw with an undo bounce function to do editing if necessary - time saver! 

I've been here . . . Nothing nice about it. 😢

an option i use extensively - use the surround buss - i set the surround to 2.1, skip the LFE, and now any stereo buss or channel can be positioned L-R for width, depth, etc. mono channels are L-R position and depth only. one nice effect is to put some delay and reverb just "outside" of the main stereo space (say a width of 70) and put the reverb @ 90 in terms of depth, leaving the delay at 100 (slightly further out or deeper). 

Does it translate over on every device? I've experiment with this before, but couldn't hear the backing vocals in the car, but came through in my fiances and - think i had iphone 5 then, where it was not heard too.

That's 2 knobs though, not one knob and one button, right (that does make sense - it's the double mono/stereo button that doesn't to me)?

Read the entire post again, maybe you will then.

Why do you need 2 mono/stereo buttons (I get the pan control bit)?

To act as a mono "width" effect on each Left and Right. So that means if you pan the individual Left channel slightly 15%  to the left, you can use the additional two knobs to widen it as an extra pan.

I do it with patch points. You get a true mono sound and pan option that acts as a width effect. Plus, both Left and Right sounds more isolated in their fields.

Use --> A1StereoControl

Read this:

 

The idea is to get CbB to eliminate the use of plugins for this. 

Hey team. 

I've been extremely busy lately, currently working on a project for radio. I was playing around the Mono and Stereo button, also creating my own stereo channel with two patch channel going into a third as a single channel. This give me the option to - not only create a stereo to mono field but it also acts as a width field, which sounds awesome. It's a method i use a lot. 

This got me thinking - what if we split the mono/stereo button into two separate mono buttons with each having its own pan knob underneath it on one individual channel/track? Now, I know this sounds like the "pro tools" Mono/Stereo Concept, but with the' two seperate buttons and their pan knobs, it acts as a width/widening effect too, and more control. 

It will allow you to take a mono track and pan it 20%L and 20%R (creating a Width effect on mono tracks) or Hard left and Hard right creating a stereo track. 

Concept: 

Two individual left and right Button/Knobs for Mono to Stereo and two pan Knobs to isolate the channels in each field. 

😕Don't know if I am painting this idea fluently right now. It's in my head though. 😐

Let's brainstorm.

Add Pro Tools-Style Dual Panpots to SONAR

It was removed from Anderton's book on CbB because Channel Tools was not included with CbB

As of 2020.08 Channel Tools is included so the method described in the link works for CbB users without SONAR.

@scook Cool - Yeah, I know. Trying to eliminate the use of plugs for that. I think it is something that shouldn't be done with effect plugins rather through the channel itself. 

Flip! Does my idea still cut through as the Pro Tools concept? 😧

1. After update, Cakewalk fails to fully launch.  Worked fine prior to update.   
   Instead, it starts to launch, displays the usual app screen, checks for plugins, identifies the usual, then the app closes completely. 
   It doesn't appear in task manager.
   Until I resolve this,  I'm totally dead in the water... So, any ideas are greatly appreciated. 

2. When I attempt to launch from BandLab assistant, the same thing happens - but the initial app screen freezes and a Windows error notification is displayed: 
   Access error. Bandlab Assistant can not open C:\program files\cakewalk\cakewalk core\cakewalk.exe,  Try to run app as an administrator

3. If I attempt to launch Cakewalk from app folder above in 2 as Administrator the same thing happens listed in 1 above. I am the admin for the laptop

4. I refreshed activation - no change
    
5. I changed name of folders for 3rd party Plugins to remove paths from cakewalk configuration - no change 
    
6. Rebooted after each change listed  above  before each attempt to re-launch - resulting no change
    
7. I completely uninstalled Cakewalk  (through the BandLab assistant), then BandLab Assistant and and related programs through Windows Apps, then rebooted, and reinstalled Bandlab Assistant, Cakewalk, and other programs, rebooted again, no change. Exact same outcomes

Win 10 Home 2004 19041.388
Dell XPS 15 9570 - on TB16 Dock
Intel Core i7-8750 CPU 2.20GHz
Ram 32 GB
Presonus AudioBox USB 96
Launchkey 49 MK2
Voicemeeter Banana

 

Just update all your windows Netframe - especially the "3.5" version. 

2: Disable your anti-virus and see if the problem remains. 

3: Try moving all your plugins folders out from Cakewalk. There could be an old VST causing your problem - especially those that was compatible with "platinium" such as "Concrete Limiter, L-phase plugs, some of those old 32bit channel CA-2A compressor? I promise you now it's not Cakewalk. 

Third day working 5 hours straight, each one -  works fine so far. No annoying audio dropouts - that's the first thing I always check for.  Every other update -- awesome stuff. 

Great job. 👌

Classic Creative Suite audio effects

The Classic Creative Suite is made up of powerful and easy to use Cakewalk effects including Alias Factor, Classic Phaser, Compressor/Gate, HF Exciter, Modfilter, Multivoice Chorus/Flanger, Para-Q, and Tempo Delay.

 

Channel Tools plug-in

The Channel Tools plug-in provides easy and powerful channel processing for gain, Mid-Side decoding, delay and stereo panning.

Channel Tools is ideal for enhancing and adjusting stereo separation for stereo tracks and full mixes.

 

Great to have these visible again. 👌

Awesome seeing the Channel Tool again. Would love to see an update on the UI's of these though. It's extremely hard to use them from a far on a bigger screen/monitor. 

Maybe a resize option for now on all UI's?

Great job on the updates team.👍

Well I spoke too soon.  It worked for about 30 minutes or so.  Then it froze, went belly up and now I cannot get a Vienna Smart Orchestra to work.  It might play a few bars the crashes Cakewalk big time.  It seem to actually lockup my pc for a minute or two.

Strange. It works fine by me. 

Disable your firewall, reinstall it and see how that works.

Try these steps too.
