Your skivvies must be getting pretty ripe.

What do you do with them?

I will consider it. 😄

But seriously, folks, I only discovered the tagging things after you posted your question. What happens if you click it?

I don't write songs as much as I used to or drag an instrument out and play it for hours as I once did, but I still open a program and record something in an existing song, or otherwise edit them or rearrange them several times a week.
And I still enjoy it although no one else will ever hear these projects, probably.

Guten Abend Herren und Damen am Samstag.

Aren't we all?

It did!

Okay, underneath the 'Tags' box is 'Item prefix'. That's how you get the tag at the beginning by selecting them there.

Did that work?

That's pretty clear

I thought so, too! I just misunderstood what you wanted. 😃

When you click Create New Topic this comes up. Where it reads 'Tags' is where the Add Tags button is. You click it then type in your tags, separated by commas.

Isn't that sociology?

RIP, Dickey.

It has to be the corporate name that has been mentioned is all I can figure, because there was ZERO offensive language in my last 2 replies.

I give up. And you'll see why in detail if my replies are ever released.

They know what "sone of a b" means and just assumed your name also had a profane meaning.

If you don't need a definite number (BPM), you can Bounce to Tracks the project twice in the same project, mute all the original tracks and experiment with Process>Length on 1 and compare it to the other which is still at the same speed and length.

I was doing a little Cakewalking the other night, adjusting volumes, pannings, etc. in several songs I'm working on (some of them for years!). I had my Mountain Dew and a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos Puffs to snack on when the cat knocked my TV remote off the shelf and onto my keyboard.
I shooed him out of the room and continued moving knobs and pressing buttons, but nothing was doing what it was supposed to do. I think the remote must have hit a shortcut key called 'screw everything up'. I didn't know which one that was or how to disable it, so I just closed without saving, even though some of editing I would have kept under normal conditions.
Everything went back to normal once I re-opened CbB but I learned an important lesson: Never eat a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos Puffs the night before you have to go to work.

Transfixed.

Where about I need to make changes to get it right? Cakewalk? Neo piano? Yamaha keyboard?

You're going to need a better audio interface, one designed for recording and reproducing audio more quickly than a computer sound card.
It takes time for the MIDI data from your Yamaha to go through the processor, then to the soft synth (Neo Piano) and the back to the sound card and out to the speakers. Computer sound cards generally can't do that fast enough and you have that delay, called "Latency" in computer-speak.

If you are using your stock sound card, check its settings for 'What You Hear' or 'Stereo Mix'. Turn that off.
Welcome to the forum.

I see references to  SONAR Home Studio 6. 

Yeah, it's an old version from around 2005 which I still use. Cakewalk once had programs with varying degrees of difficulty and more features as they got more expensive.
Starting with Music Creator, then Home Studio and then SONAR at that time. I say I "still use" it, but that may be over now. I can't find the Driver Mode utility that corrects a glitch in SHS 6 that wouldn't allow you to select ASIO for the driver. I'm sure it's on one of my back-up devices; I just have to go deeper.

One of the most helpful and prolific posters here.  Seems to have disappeared a while back (maybe Sept 2023).

I got the impression that he tired of all the 'when is the new version coming out' posts that all had the same answer; nobody knows. And the next day there would be 5 more asking the same question and getting the same answer ad infinitum.

I ended up getting it from the local GC and not mail-order. 
I understand most reputable dealers have generous return policies, so it's not as if the seller would disappear overnight once they got the money.

What is "settings in the softsynth"?

In this case, the soft synth is your Neo Piano and the settings are in its GUI.
