@JensL - you may want to consider using Sound on Sound with Mute Previous takes.  I personally use this method because I don't want the auto-splitting of comp recording:


 

How do you make those awesome GIFs?

Is there a page that teaches you how step by step?

Thanks!!

I can't really as it's a piece that's been exclusively signed to a Library I work with but I can try it again on something else or find on older non-exclusive track.

They don't need the entire project.

You could cut it down to the part that gaps/jumps the most. I.e. crop the project down to a ten second long section. Make sure it's still exhibiting the same behaviour.

No worries, your welcome, took me a bit to find the thread, but I knew someone was asking about it not to long ago. That's a good deal.

For some reason the website slightly dropped the price when I order it, so even better!! 😃

Just got it, thanks for letting me know!

It's because I'm about to get a new music PC and I was worried about installing it on my current laptop and it not working on my new system when it's built.

Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for that.

What's their authorisation scheme?

Ilok? Can you authorize to USB or change from one machine to another. I can't find any info on that.

Very excited to see the implementation of the 'Arranger track' function.  Just started playing with it and it's certainly not seamless on my system ("Create arbitrary song sections anywhere on the project timeline, then later string them together for seamless playback").  Very jerky when it jumps to different sections (an audible gap/jitter). I have a high powered system (10 core/3.5GHZ, 64 gig ram). Would be great if it truly were seamless. Good news is that when I export the arrangement the gaps/jitter is gone (but there is an audible 'click'; I'm sure if there were a crossfade option this issue could be resolved?).  Anyway, I like where this is going, but, it's not quite usable in a professional client-based context yet (I use Cakewalk in a pro studio).

cheers,

Adam

Have you tried committing it then rendering?

I wouldn't expect a preview to be seemless. It's a rough example before you commit to the project being rearranged.

Agreed.

 

I'll give them this, they never gave up on that subscription plan. And looking at these plugins that are included, I gotta give 'em props, that's a good deal. I went and read the terms, and they say that if they remove a plugin from the bundle, they will give you a forever license for free so that you can still open projects made with that plugin. Not a bad deal there. 

I'm not for a plugin subscription. But if I was just getting into this, I have to admit this would look attractive.

You get about 90% of your money back to permanently buy the plugins of your choice.

So one of my favourite sound engineers ever is Joe Barresi (Soundgarden, Tool), and I was watching a video about his studio where it showed this piece of gear.

Then I found out Boz makes a plugin of it.

Then I found out Cakewalk made a prochannel module out of it!!! Before Gibson did what they did.

Bandlab, please consider selling the prochannel modules again sometime...

I'd rather get a native Cakewalk version than a separate external 3rd party version.

Thank you for your consideration!

@Keith Lane you can save and load multiple arrangements within the same project. If you click the dropdown in the arrangements pane in the inspector you can create as many arrangements as you like. When you select one of them from the arrangements combo box it loads all the sections in that arrangement. Arrangements can duplicate or reference sections that exist in the section pool. 

The coolest and most useful feature added in recent history! Cakewalk originally wasn't primarily recording software (though it's great it can now do that too! I'd to see VCA faders one day though :p) but music creation software . This feature honours Cakewalk's original purpose. And while it's primarily for composers and song writers, producers can also chop up songs or pieces for television and film!

You have two ways to handle this:

• Don't use the plugin's internal timeline to sequence things
• Freeze the plugin before rendering an arrangement

I always create my midi within Cakewalk and trigger other virtual instruments, so all good! 😃☺️

Committing Arrangements: Any VSTi's that generate content based on the current timeline, e.g. EZ Keys, EZ Drummer, JamStix, etc. will not be aware of your new song structure after committing an arrangement. Consider freezing these tracks before committing your arrangement.

Are you saying arranger doesn't work with midi? You have to render virtual instruments?

I've composed quite a complicated song with lots of changes and different sections. I was wondering about chopping up certain sections and changing major parts.

This arranger tool is going to be phenomenal to hearing different applications of the themes!!!

Thank you so much!!!

@HIBI this is fixed for next release.

@Noel Borthwick

I'm checking every day for the next release 😃☺️. I'm curious what you've been hacking away at. It's all good. Patience I know. ☺️

If you have a multi fader controller and put an SSL plugin on each track, can you assign each fader to each different instance of the SSL plugin?

Thanks

I bought it. I appreciate all the work Craig put into it and there's some good things in the article, all that said.

I still would love to see actual VCA faders in Cakewalk. It's so much more simpler and more effective.

Cool, I thought it was important to point out to the people who wanted "VCA channels" in Cakewalk that it already has much of what they do anyway. Sure, VCA channels is a good buzzword, but it's the functionality that matters.

Can you pay just for the article?

What I want is to be able to automate the level of multiple channels before they hit any plugins that are placed on channels.

Kind regards,

David

Here's Episode Two.

😀😀

The solution to protecting against a Gibson situation is clone your harddrive. If something bad happened to the company, God forbid, you could reinstall your clone and do that every six months...

I hope you're all safe and well!

Grem, thanks. Is there a way to automate that? 

The only problem is while that will control the volume hitting the aux plugins, it won't control the volume hitting the plugins on the tracks themselves.

How hard is it to assign a fader on a control surface in Cakewalk to control the track gain on multiple tracks?

And then record automation for that fader.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who replied.

Just for clarification the reason was to control how much level of all the various drum tracks hit the plugins. I guess I could route them all to an aux for group fading then post fader off to another aux with the plugins on them.

I means I need two auxes though right?

Thanks everyone!

@Kevin Perry

Let's say you have track gain for kick drum at -2db, snare -3db, overheads +2db etc. and you want to turn up or down all the gains without changing their relationship i.e. you turn down 2db and now kick is -4db, snare -5db, overheads 0db. 

How do you do that in Cakewalk with a single fader?
