That does get me to the settings. Thanks! A right click quick switch. That'd streamline it even better.

Simple. Just like how you can right-click on the metronome play / record toggle buttons in the control bar and it'll bring up the metronome settings. I'd like one even better for dim solo since it really only has one setting to adjust, which is -dB. Right click on the dim solo button should pop open an toggle to switch between the -6, -12, and -18db solo options. Basic, not super important, but a subtle nicety. Cheers.

Double oof. @Noel Borthwick

When going through comps, I'd like an easy way to tag clips / clip groups with a rating. In the past I've changed the clip color, but that's not super practical. Basically, I want to listen to each take and if I hear pure gold, snip the clip for that take and mark it 5 stars. And similarly if it's a good, but not amazing take, snip it and rate it 4 stars. This makes it easier to identify the great clips later on to move around. This is especially nice if I plan on moving overlapping takes. IE: I have a couple 5 star takes in verse 1 and I want to move one of them over to verse 2 if I find out that verse2 only had 4 star takes. Please make it key bindable tool. ideally I'd use something like control + numpad 1-5 for these ratings and then maybe the star rating would show up next to where the clip fx bin is. Grazi.

I'm not saying cakewalk shouldn't have a flexible export naming structure. I was just giving you quick and easy solutions to your problem.

There is also a config parameter that controls pre-fade sends that is important to be aware of: Mute aux pre-sends on track solo LinkPFSendMute=1 in AUD.INI pre fader sends on both tracks and buses are automatically muted when the track/bus is muted. Also if another track is soloed the pre fader sends on other tracks will be muted.

Working in film, I have to batch rename tracks all the time. Powershell is your friend. Example: dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "c1","Mix.L"} dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "c2","Mix.R"} dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "c3","L"} dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace "c4","R"}

oof. Id recommend emailing support@cakewalk.com. As good as this forum is, this is a serious issue that needs some good attention

So, how about this latency monitor?

Sound great to me.

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.

I'm stuck in an odd spot. I keep the option to zero out midi on transport stop off in order to not have my spitfire instruments mod wheel zero out. But then if there was a pedal down, my notes sustain forever on stop and I have to manually pedal in order to get it to stop. I'd like on option that on transport stop, the pedal is zero'd out, but everything else remains the same. Cheers.

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 ;).

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

Yeah and make sure it's visible in prv....

I imagine the trick would be guaranteeing phase coherence. This may be one of those seemingly low-hanging fruit request, that ends up being more challenging to do right in the end. Just a thought.

Bumping this.

Very simple feature. I love how auto-focus (or no auto-focus) allows you to see multi-color midi notes from other tracks: But I don't want to switch track focus or trigger the other track when I click on a non-focused note (for example, I'm really just trying to double a note). And this is why we have "auto lock" feature. But auto lock turns all the other track note colors to grey. /sad_face. Functionality wise, these options behave EXACTLY as they should. I just want an visibility option to enable colors for non-focused tracks in auto lock mode. This should be a toggle, since it's also VERY useful to have all other tracks grayed out so it's less distracting at times. Workflows necessitate both colored and grey background tracks at times. Cheers.

Whilst I like the idea, can you not just loop record when you're just playing around and then stop it and keep the last play before you stopped? The difference mainly seems to be whether or not you hit R or Space before you started working on the tunes.

Yup. I have sever trust issue. but said trust issues make it so I don't run into too many problems anymore

My main concern would be around performance. I'd assume it wouldn't take much more.... but... I wonder if in general the UI could be GPU accelerated. If in general it could run super smoothly, that'd be pretty awesome. My Daw is running a 780 GTX that pretty much idles all day

I wish. +1 million. It's been requested many times before.

Ah! That did it. I had forgotten exactly how to remote control it. So that is pretty helpful. Thanks for your help. I definitely would like this level of control in PRV directly, but this does give me some additional options to play with.

@msmcleod I uncovered more problems with it in the video. Check it out. Should be super clear now.
