Cakewalk is a far better DAW than Sonar was.

If you have a send for example it will also sound. You would need to lower the return fader too.

I wonder what you are really asking? The volume of that buss will be lower.

And done in the most articulate way.

There is also a Deals forum that list all kinds of deals and free plugins.

I admire anyone that understands more than one language. I wish I did. I consider it a personal short coming on my part that I don't. This forum is for anyone that uses Cakewalk. Not everyone is a an English speaker. Thus as long as a member can answer in the language a question is asked in I think it would be great if we that are limited by having only one language be a little more tolerant.
For the rest of us there are solutions for translating if we wish to do so. I have noticed many helpful members supply a translation often. That should be enough.

Welcome to the forum. Its always good to see new people here. If you have any questions about Cakewalk ask them here at anytime.

I don't know what that is except it sounds like a bad connection or a dirty potentiometer can cause that sound. I would replace any cables going to or from the audio device.

You can always put a limiter at the end of the signal path ☺️
Right, the only problem is some plugins don't like to be over driven. Its better to have all tracks at a level that fits the mix without pushing things to hard. One way I like to start mixing is putting all tracks at infinity. Then raising each one at a time to fit the mix.

Bdickens is right. Don't allow clipping on the track or the bus. Also you don't ever need to be that loud.

Bonus question: What if I have an instrument track that's too loud by design, and I can't lower the Gain/volume enough?
I know this sounds kind of uneducated and foolish, but I would just like some clarification. Thanks in advance!
I can't think how that could be unless it's clipping and really useless.
BTW MIDI gives you total control over all aspects of music creation including levels, weather working with soft synths or hardware.

Yes. I'm on Ozone 7 here and it does that, too. What Steve was saying is you can't put anything after Ozone. So any metering plugin hosted within it will be showing what's happening before the master volume sliders. I don't think that's a problem, though. Why would you want to fiddle with your mastering limiter's output levels, Ozone or otherwise?
I'm not sure that is an issue. In Ozone you can place a VST of your choice at the end of the module chain or anywhere else. That is not all that different to what Cakewalk does. I don't think you can "put anything after" Cakewalk either. Though, it is true that Cakewalk offers far more options as to how you insert a plugin and where.

I guess that's one advantage of Ozone as a plugin over the standalone exe, being able to place other processors after it.
Still, for as long as I've been using Ozone (c. 2007, IIRC) I can't recall ever touching the output fader.
Another benefit to using your method of mastering in Cakewalk is that when doing an entire album you are able to easily create gapless CD masters with crossfades between tracks. Although I've successfully done that with CD Architect, it was more trouble than it was worth.
The standalone version of Ozone 9 can use third party VST plugins.

Here what you need to understand.
As said the keyboard controller sends digital midi data to your computer. There is no audio involved so there’s no need to think about quality. The cheapest controller sends the same quality data as the most expensive.
MIDI is digital. Musical Instrument Digital Interface. There is no such thing as an analog MIDI. LOL I know you know this but the new users may not.
-
I don't see a problem. I have used Ozone from Ozone 3 when it was only DX. I do have Ozone 9 Advanced. My admonition to all Ozone users is a little Ozone goes a long way.
-
Check your levels, i.e. volume. It could be clipping.
-
Nor do I agree with the notion that volume can be ignored. Gain and volume are both important. Together they set the total volume for the track. Bypassing the meter seems risky at best and dangerous at worst.

Those of us that are here to be of help know that it may require some questions from us to fully help a new user. It takes patience and some times a little hand holding to answer. By being on here one is either looking for answers or is willing to give answers. It isn't helpful to belittle anyone. If you don't feel like answering don't make it a problem for an OP and simply don't post.
We forget how complicated Cakewalk is. We've been using it or its older brother for a very long time. For a new user it will be a very long learning curve. We can be of help in making that long curve a little shorter and more pleasant or we can make it harder and longer.

It's a testament to a lot of things. BandLab's stewardship of the product, hiring the cream of the Cakewalk, Inc. developers. Allowing a developer-driven model rather than a marketing-driven model, where bug fixing is given a priority over feature additions (not to say that the new features we've seen aren't appreciated).
The product that Cakewalk, Inc. was selling was licenses. The product that BandLab is selling is user satisfaction and enthusiasm.
I've said it before, I've worked in commercial software development environments and software engineers hate bugs as much as if not more than the users do. Being forced by management to release a program with known bugs is like being forced to release a mix with glaring mistakes. Having freedom to fix all the bugs you want is heaven.
I think this is the best critique I have read about Cakewalk by Bandlab. I also have to agree. I doubt it could be said better.

When you record do you adjust the level with the fader?

You didn't write not unseasonable you wrote non-unreasonable.
If you read all the post I made on the first page you will note I really didn't intend to address what Shift 7 does except to say it had nothing to do with displaying the meters. It is a matter of real-estate only.
Regarding drag and drop, you may have changed the default keyboard shortcuts on your system. Or used one for a different DAW.

Glenn hold on, User 905133 removed his last post and edited his other post above it. So you are responding with none of the actual post present.
Fast render of VSTi instrument clips to audio

I use freeze in Cakewalk it works better than the freeze in Cubase. What you are talking about in Cubase is Render in Place. Cakewalk's is more elegant. For example try render in place multiple MIDI outs of say Kontakt? Cakewalk will freeze each instrument in Kontakt on its own track if that is how you have Kontakt setup. Nuendo, which I have, will make a mess of it. In Cubase if you use freeze the audio tracks are hidden. In Cakewalk use freeze in the Synth Rack.
