    Thank you for replies!

    "I am sorry, now I feel that this thread should be outside Cakewalk topics, for some strange reason, I thought that I could use software limiter to limit live input. "

    This forum is about learning. The topic is fine and the dialog we have  here is just as fine.  There is no reason for you to feel sorry.

    In the consolle (mixer) you can control the mic sensivity and with the fader you can control the mic volume (gain).  Good luck.

     

    If you are talking about Cakewalk's Console View no you can't.  The audio has already been recorded to disk before it hits the Console. This is one reason in the manual says you have to control volume for input at the source. 

  3. The way I install Cakewalk is install it via Bandlab assistant then when that is done I go to Sonar 8 on DVD and install Pantheon only. Off hand I forget if there is anything else to install from any of the X1 through X3 versions. I do not install anything else from that version Sonar 8. Then I  look up Sonar Platinum and install all the Pro Channel modules from it and then go to each install for the various PC modules I bought.  I may install all the VSTs that come with Sonar Platinum. However most of them are part of the Cakewalk install.  

    Its time consuming but it does not have to be done in one go.  You can install add-ons at any time.

    All my downloads I want to keep are on a download HD independent from the C:\ drive.

  4. I've been using multiple drives for years. On a DAW it can be very useful. An example is programs go to the C:\ drive. Samples go to a HD for samples.  Downloads are on another drive. Also projects are on still another drive.  Right now I have 8 drives 6 are internal. None are SSDs.  That may change sometime soon.

    With "multiple mixers" he means that the inspector and the consolé expanded at the same time seem to be a confusing one. I agree on that. I think it shouldn't be able to see the inspector while the console is expanded, at least when docked.

    I think the 5th point regarding to "the quality of time stretching" being low, is old. It WAS low, but it has been improved a lot with the addition of elastique technology. Check that again.

    That is interesting.  I have to admit because I use dual monitors that was never a problem for me. By the way the Inspector can be minimized. It also is useful for the Pro Channel.  If you do MIDI it is vital. The idea of the Skylight GUI was to make single monitor systems such as laptops better to use and get around in. 

    It threw me because Cubase does have 3 mixers. To my knowledge no other DAW does.

    Sorry chaps, I simply Don't understand

     

    All I want is to go back to getting my headphones to work....and then, one day in the future maybe actually write some music! I honestly dont know much about this, except every time I do ANYTHING different I have to start again and ask foe help.

    So... how do I get the track to play back through headphones like I used to do in the old days i.e. last week??

    Its actually simple.  Use your Scarlet when using Cakewalk.  Plug in the headphones  to the phone jack of the Scarlet. And there you have it.

  7. "- The first suggestion that i like to give Cakewalk of BandLab is to delete the theme editor and create, for this DAW, a resizable vector graphic interface to 40 - 60 - 80 - 100 - 120 - 140 - 160 - 180 - 200 - 220%"

    I like this idea and its not really new but its still a good one. 

    The others I'm not too sure about. 

    One thing that was done to help with simplification was the new GUI that came to be in Sonar X1.  I can't fully understand the multiple mixer point. To me there is only  one.

  8. The video is silent and it just says " Suggestions For Cakewalk" through it's entire length. 

    My suggestion is you simply list each suggestion here maybe with bullets points for simple and easy reading.

    Normally that is the way to propose things here. If, however, a video will explain things better by all means provide one.

    The web based DAW and social media site were part of BandLab before they acquired Cakewalk software. Since the purchase they have invested quite a bit of time and money developing Cakewalk by BandLab It appears that they intend on keeping it around for some time.

    This forum alone is a kind proof of their commitment to Cakewalk. Even if none of this were not true, there is no better deal anywhere.
