  1. 1 click all "take lanes" and volume automation hide on all tracks. 1 click all muted tracks (and muted take lanes) hide / unhide. Change the color of the un-hide button if material is "hidden"
  2. Wanted to try their instruments for long time, but price was(is) ridiculous. Here is small package of 33 instruments they are giving out for free if you answer their survey. Processing time - 2 weeks. Still, price is right. https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discover/
  3. Wow! That is extensive reply. Thank you all! I am not a plugin maniac, just want two minor plugins a Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter and CLA Mixdown (for slap on -fast mixes) I looked into Melda as Starise suggested. I heard good things about that company. They have a very nice plugin MStereoProcessor which seems to be far better and more advanced than Waves Aphex, because you can narrow exciter (and stereo width) to specific bandwidth. It is twice the money, but "exciter" is one of very few plugins that I actually want in my setup. Maybe it worth of investing in Melda not to have regrets at a later time Have to try them side by side to compare.
  4. ensconced, Thank you! The Waves plugins I want are older, nothing over complicated, and should last for a few years.
  5. Starise, Thank you for excellent explanation! I am more confident now. I have all the major plugins I need from Fab. Waves have a couple of minor, but useful plugs that I was looking at for some time, but just did not want to get myself involved in some forceful and paid software upgrade mess. P.S. Thank you for mentioning Melda. I have heard good things about it. I will download couple of trials tonight which are similar to Waves plugins I am looking at and see if I can get similar results in ~same time Again, THANK YOU!
  6. Hi Folks. I was avoiding shiny Waves for a long time. I do have a single plugin by them, which is Vocal rider. I do not use it often... So far it works. But I only had it for a year or so. I have read a lot of negative rant how Waves uses various "switch and bait" tactics with their WUPs and other dirty tricks. I like a couple of their plugins and want to ask a current/previous "user opinion" on Waves+Cakewalk. I want to install them through waves central, do an "offline installer", uninstall Waves Central. The goal: To have a life expectancy of a plugin of 3-5 years without hearing from Waves or be forced to paid upgrade of these plugins in order for them to work. Cakewalk is the only place I will be using these. Should I be worried about these plugins to become unusable after their year "warranty" expires? It might sound silly to some, but please no funnies. Just looking for straight answer. Thank you!
  7. Jim, Thank you! I think you are right. There 2 things that gone unchecked to receive the emails.
  8. pwalpwal, No doubts about it The question is, can it be addressed at graphics level?
  9. Hi Folks. If I remember correctly "Notify me of replies" on the forum threads used the send a notification emails when somebody replied to the topic... Now it does not. I do get a little "bell" notification on upper right corner of the forum, but nothing in my email. I did check the "spam" folder. Was it done intentionally globally or something happened to my account?
  10. Gswitz. It is not Midi specific. I do not run more than ~10 Midi tracks at once. Project is mainly audio. For example the latest would be: 6 Midi tracks through Halion VST, about 30 audio tracks, with approximately 400 take lanes, mostly short (10-30 seconds). 95% of take lanes are muted, so about 30 active audio segments and of course VST FX. Most likely this question is for someone who knows how the touch transport / zoom works in relation to the Cake project/Windows/GPU and if it is "adjustable". Not really interested in "compacting" or "freezing" project parts, I rather live with graphics lag But if it is possible to address without modifying actual tracks, would appreciate the info. Thanks.
  11. This is happening on mixed projects Audio + midi, when they reach certain "weight" not specifically midi or specifically audio. I believe in video games you adjust settings in GPU... (I am not a gamer, so guessing). So still unclear if GPU lagginess of large projects related to the project ="project dependent", or the graphics/touch/zoom for Cakewalk interface can be adjusted somewhere? Thanks.
  12. Gswitz, I do thank you for the input, but hiding, freezing is not something I want to include in the workflow. I rather have laggy touch response However, if it is possible, to manage lagginess of touch response of big projects with settings / resource adjustment, I would like to know the things I should try. My computer is fairly new (2018) and GPU is also fast Geforce GTX 1050. There maaaany... settings related to video performance scattered everywhere, I really do not want to try "everything" approach.
  13. Thanks, I am not interested in deleting, archiving or freezing options. I am interested to know if this can be resolved by other means like setting in Cakewalk, GPU or Windows...?
  14. Lots of audio takes+plugins+some midi. The project touch/navigation/zoom lag is happening only with heavy projects. If I have 10-15 tracks or so, it is fine. So the question is: if it is a nature of big projects or it can be addressed with settings in Cakewalk, Windows or GPU...? Thanks.
  15. Hi Folks. Got this question for pros. I used touch screen function a lot when working on projects to zoom in / locate segments etc. in Cake. When I have a "heavy" project. (30+tracks), touch / pinch zoom response is laggy. Is it possible to address this somehow inside Cakewalk settings or perhaps in graphic card settings? My card is ok: Geforce GTX 1050... Or this is the nature of heavy projects and this is how it is? I do not want to try random things if there is a proper way to do this. Thank you.
  16. Hide /Unhide all muted tracks and take lanes globally, with a single button... perhaps even "freeze@archive"+hide / un-hide all non playing items. So if you have a project with a lot of stuff that is "not playing", but you want to keep it "in project", this will make it cleaner to work with and reduce the usage of computer resources.
  17. Global FX engine on/off expanded to 2 instances and enhanced. One as it is with a possibility of automation: "Off" on record / "On" on playback and.. fully customizable second button, where you can specify which tracks to include in "global FX" on/off function. This is to reduce / have more control over latency with FX heavy projects.
  18. Thank you Meng & Amazing team for developing and improving Cakewalk! Music is among those few things which keep me sane in this uneasy world.
  19. Tecknot, Amazing! Thank you! Worked like magic. Super cool! Martin, Thank you for trying! I did try your way, I also tried moving my friend's tracks to a folder and moving the track folder. Tecknot's way worked a bit more efficiently.
  20. Hi Folks. Got this scenario. My project is 15+ tracks. My friend (remotely) recorded vocals. Her CWB (bundle) file looks like this: A mixdown of my project plus 4 tracks with multiple takes on each. Is it possible to merge these two projects, so I do not pull individual stems out of her bundle to import into mine? Or what would be an intelligent way to do this. Please let me know. Thank you.
  21. Noel, Thank you for the answer. I admire your positive spirit, even if this never hits the DAW! Hats off to you and the crew for doing absolutely amazing job in maintaining Cakewalk. I never expected such pace of progress after Gibson thing. Thank you and Happy New Year! Misha.
  22. Noel, Thank you for your time! Can you please tell me if what I am asking is possible. I am not requesting a feature here (now), I am just trying to understand... When FX button on top is pressed, it is almost instant, like a light switch. "Scenes" seem to actually load/unload things, sometimes making Cakewalk unstable. In theory, is it possible to have a mechanism that would selectively turn off some FX, leaving others from/in sound engine, same way all of FX are turned on/off with the button on top? Basically splitting the VST load to two parts, which can be turned on/off Globally independently? Or it is not possible by design? Thank you.
  23. Scook, Noel, thank you. Got it. Have to figure out another workflow with Melodyne as far as scenes go. Vicious circle. I just wish there was a way to selectively turn FX on / off from sound engines as a particular "heavy" group, without deleting them. Would help with tracking / mixing workflow. Basic example: You have 15 VSTs FX in FX bins and 2 FX buttons on top. One turns on/off 4 VSTs from sound engine second button turns on/off all 15 (or remaining 11) P.S. Touch navigation sucks on Melodyne. I wish touch was streamlined to have same feel as Cakewalk
  24. Noel, Scook Thank you. I am using it as FX insert on individual track(s). It "produces" clips with transfer button on VST, so I assume it is considered a clip based plugins and will not work properly with "scenes". Ohh, I wish Cakewalk would have 2-3 FX On/Off switches for different scenarios, so it does not load or unload FX, but takes it out of sound engine just like that single FX doing now... just selectively. Maybe one day
