Tap Tempo while the transport is running
Starship Krupa replied to Starship Krupa's topic in Feedback Loop
Okay, more diving in the Reference Guide yielded this pearl: "If you want to use tap tempo during playback, first right-click the Tempo track and make sure Update BPM Display During Playback is disabled." That seems confusing, as I'm tapping I want it to update the BPM display, but I guess it refers to updating the display to show the current tempo at the playhead. -

I just tried to use the Tap Tempo to set the project tempo to match a clip I recorded. When I started the project, tempo was set to the default 120 BPM, but the clip is actually slower. At first I tried dragging it to the timeline, but the detection failed miserably. Then I tried opening the Tempo Track and tapping along with the song while it was playing. No go, because the set tempo (120) was overriding what I was tapping in. Is there some way I can accomplish what I'm trying to do using Cakewalk: manually match the project tempo to an existing clip? Or do I have to I use a 3rd-party app or plug-in?

If there's a way to set it in the plug-in, I can't find it, but Cakewalk's internal plug-in system handles VHS' settings. I have the profiles for each of my headphones in the Cakewalk preset list and when I select one, VHS switches over to the correct settings.

You didn't ask for advice, but speaking as someone who has given up making music for years at a time, then come back to it with greater enthusiasm and a different approach, yeah, don't sell your gear. The expensive mics, well maybe. But at least hang on to the minimum. I approach making music these days like a model railroad. It's fun to do in and of itself, and if someone else hears it and likes it, that's a bonus. To me, it's a way of communicating thoughts and feelings that can't be expressed in other ways. Nostalgia, grief, joy, serenity. I "hear" things in my head, or on the radio (mostly Soma.fm and KALX, the UC Berkeley station) and I want to make those sounds. So I do. When I finish a piece, it goes up on Bandcamp and YouTube. One thing I tossed off half a dozen years ago is up to over 600 views on YouTube. Woo-hoo! It's like dropping messages in a bottle. Before the rock star myth descended upon the world, music making was something that was just a part of people's homes. Have a piano, learn to play it, or have friends over who play, sit on the porch with the guitar, making music because it's something cool to do, like painting. You never know when you'll hear a new (to you) form of music and have it trigger a desire to MAKE SOUNDS LIKE THAT (as happened with messrs. Cobain and Mascis). I'm enjoying your album right now....

Well, you can now get Fallout 76 for free on Amazon and see if it's any good. I love me a good MMORPG, so I'll give it a try. I usually use the handle "Superabbit" these days....

I think they're just busting their hinies getting Sonar ready to ship.

I'd like to SEE them do it. I didn't technically say I'd actually buy it. 😄 I, too have way too many drum machines. Between Boom, Break Tweaker, Tactic (I use it as a drum machine), and the ones included in Komplete Start (not to mention SampleTank 4 MAX and MDrummer), everything I want is covered. Yet every time I spot a new free one, I am compelled to try it. It's a disorder.

They had me at Walton Goggins. Also Michael Emerson. Haven't played the game, my MMORPG is another Bethesda property, The Elder Scrolls Online.

Wait, whut?? Why on Earth would it have been changed? I've always thought that it being there was some sort of oddball leftover. Moving it was deliberate? I've been lobbying for the things that are in the Insert menu to be moved down to the Track View menu and all of the insert operations that are now on the Project menu to be moved to the Insert menu. So far it looks like nothing's going to change in the Global menu with the new Sonar.

What is the plugin you're trying to modulate? One possibility is to use a drum machine plug-in and send its kick to your plug-in's sidechain input. That's the traditional way to do this sort of thing anyway. Also, there's Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular synth, and by its nature, it includes LFO modules. The Nucleus version is free from Plugin Boutique: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/4-Synth/5594-Voltage-Modular-Nucleus

If you don't find other highly useful FX in that bundle, I'd be very surprised! I use at least one Kilohearts Essentials plug-in on every project (KHs Limiter, if nothing else, set to -3dB to prevent synths from pegging Sonar's meters). A good resource for discovering freeware effects is this thread on this forum. It's coming up on 5 years of recommendations by Cakewalk users such as myself:
