Uh.... OK ...

I really don't think this is so difficult.

If I have a part that starts, say, on the "and" of beat 3, measure 1, even my dyscalculic self has no problem copying it then counting over to the and of beat 3 measure 17 and pasting it in.

 

I use real time linear recording on Cakewalk tracks and it boils down to pasting according to where I think the part is supposed to be, but by pasting takes many takes because I'm not pasting within a sequencer, and the chorus part past has no bars to snap to like a dedicated sequencer, so I would have to figure out the snap feature in Cakewalk. If I was pasting according to a sequencer, I could do it once and copy the whole sequence 16 bars later. But Cakewalk is real time and it's a guessing game.

If you use the snap settings you can do one of two things. Enable snap set to "snap to" set it to bars and then cntrl-click and drag your clip 16 bars down. In this case your clip has to start right on a bar boundary. You can drag the edge of the clip to the start of the bar then after the copy just drag it back out.

Or, Set the snap settings to "snap-by" and then ctrl-drag the clip 16 bars down and it should be exactly 16 bars when you drop it.

Or, set the snap to enable landmarks and set the now time cursor to the edge of the clip to copy and note the time where the now time cursor is.  copy the clip, edit copy, or cntr-c. then set the now time to exactly 16 bars from your noted time and paste the clip

Thanks, I couldn't get the part to move, I think I need to see a video demonstration of this process to understand it.  I'll look on the web. But thanks for the explanation appreciate it.

Arithmetic?

I tried that, but some parts start before basic bar numbers.

I don’t understand the problem?  You copy and paste to any place in a song anything you want. Exact placement is a matter of learning how to use the tools properly. 
lots of tutorials on the subject of pasting audio or midi. 

The issue I have is trying to copy and paste the exact number of measures from one location to the next, copying and pasting becomes difficult for certain parts that don't start on the exact bar, for certain parts that starts before a chorus part it's a 20 paste guessing game to where it becomes mental fatigue.  But yeah, that's what I'm looking for some tutorials on snapping or pasting in Cakewalk. Thanks for your help appreciate it.

Another issue may be that the timeline is not set properly to the song. If reginaldStjohn's answer isn't the solution (it should be), does the timeline match the project? It is unclear if you imported audio or not from the OP.

Well it's just a recorded part, that I wish to copy and paste exactly 16 bars later, but the chorus part starts before the chorus 8-bar sequence starts so it's a guessing game trying to doing live by hand. If i doing it long enough it may sound closer to original but I have to keep doing that tedious part four times over. But thanks I may try to look up some tutorials somewhere.  Thanks for the help

I usually right-click>copy (or Ctrl>C) then Ctrl>V and when the dialog box comes up, change the paste point to exactly 16 bars later. It doesn't matter where the Now line is at that time, just change it. 

I never did it that way, is there a tutorial on how this process works? Thanks for the help

Ripple edit my friend. Never heard of it?

I never did ripple edit, is there a tutorial on it somewhere? I'll check youtube. Thanks!

How could I copy a Vocal part recorded at a certain part of the song exactly 16 bars later? Every time I try this it's like guess work and never align to the exact location 16 bars later. Unless I just record it live again and again. I often see professionals copy the same vocal hook from the first take and then pasting it until the last. Is there a way to make this easier in Cakewalk ?

Thanks

It would be great if their was an upfront Normalize button function on main page next to MIDI - REGION FX  buttons above Tracks.

This way the user can normalize all tracks instantly instead of going through menus and multiple button pushes just to do one track.  Currently if you recorded many many overdubs and punch ins on one track, it's a tedious process to select every punch in edit so that the whole track will be normalized equally.  There should be a whole track normalization process that selects all edits and recordings on that particular track instead of just the selected part.  I find myself selecting a track to normalize, and come to find out that because their were numerous punch ins it only selected a small section of a complete recording.

@Ron Mendoza @kday Please try the main link in the first post again, it should now say Rebuild_2 on the installer, and this should fix PC2A for you. 

Fixed! Thanks

I say let's bring the PC Concrete Limiter back to fix that message 😅

Did you have the Cakewalk CA-2A Leveling Amplifier already installed when installing the update?

Got this when I created an instance of the leveling amplifier

I get that message too

When I play one VST in Cakewalk using my MIDI controller keyboard, the other VST plays also. How can I trigger just one VST module at a time?  It used to play only one VST when it was selected, but now when I leave that VST track to go to another, the old VST track still plays when playing from my Midi keyboard controller.  Is there a switch that I un-selected?

It used play only one track at a time, and when I left that track the old track was silenced and only the new VST track played, but now every new VST midi track selected keeps on playing at same time? So now every track plays the same midi notes. How can I play one track at a time?

Thanks for any help

Yeah, but those messages used to just go away. But now they never goes away, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong altogether?

When opening a new project Cakewalk, it displays the message then gets stuck saying [Opening Project  "Loading FX SPACE" ] and the other message says [VST Scan - Scanning Waveshell9-VST3 11_x64.vst3 ] even though the programs seems to load. How can I fix this?

Image example below

Thank you for all the help guys. Yeah, the changing the start time in properties box seems the fastest for me. Appreciate it

Change the Start time in the Clip Properties Inspector

Thanks! I got it

Another quick way is to drag the files to the track view or the divider between the TV and clips pane. This is a shortcut to insert at beginning.

What do you mean Clips pane?  I couldn't figure it out.  Mine is on the track and console view.

Yeah, I had accidentally posted in wrong section, thanks

Often when I'm not at the start of the track and I load a wav file, it loads where the cursor is often not at the start of the song.

Is there a way to snap the loaded wav file back to the start of the song instead of having to drag the track file to the start, which sometimes is a long drag?

I remember there was a way to load a track to where it would load at the beginning of the song regardless but I can't remember the option in preferences.

I want all loaded wav tracks to load at the start of the song regardless of where the cursor is.  Or how to snap it to the start if it's loaded in the middle of a song.

I need to delete this topic , where is the delete option?

Yes, the default state is an empty file so there are no parameters and values visible when opening this screen for the first time.

Thanks for all the help appreciate it!

I wanted to change bus warnings (thank you for raising the issue and to scook for the solution) so I intuitively followed the correct procedures for adding a setting and setting a value.  It agrees with what's listed at the Initilization File link above.

 

Thanks! I got it, I wasn't typing in that WarnSilentBuses message in the Options box. Now I got it. Appreciate it!

While I am sure there is no need to configure the buses as described above, to suppress the "Silent Buses" warning message set WarnSilentBuses to 0 in Preferences > File > Initialization File. To see "Initialization File" make sure the Advanced radio button is selected at the bottom of the Preferences dialog.

My whole Configuration Initialization File box is empty, nothing to select. Don't see WarnSilentBuses in Preferences > File > Initialization File.  Nothing's there to change.

I got the saved Location function working now. It just started working after doing a save on everything including the Workspace save at top.  Looks like everything is complete for this process. I still wish I could eliminate the "Silent Buss Detected" message that comes up at beginning of the template loading process though. It slows down the load Template process for something I already know. Thanks again!

The reason I have the Master Buss set to none, is because i have two sets of monitors, and I control them separately. And this way allows me to record a high signal to the recorder, while monitoring the sound at lower levels controlled by the Monitor level I can play with with in real time even while recording maximum signal levels at the same time. If all was set to Master Buss real time level, I might would want to lower the volume, and it would effect the recording level.  I get that message saying Master Buss output is set to none.

Is there any way to stop notifications at load up telling me the Master Buss is set to none? I tried notification settings but it doesn't stop that Master Buss/None notification at startup.

The current Media Browser Content Location menu selection is not saved on my system when i reload a saved Template. It goes to that saved location, then it reverts to the default non saved location. I'm still trying to figure this out why it's reverting to the default program location.

Hallelujah bro, I got it!  The way it worked for me was to create that Preview Bus, route the Output to None, and then route the Preview Bus FX send to the Master Bus and the Preview Output could go no louder than the set Master Bus /Monitor level. And it saves the setting.  The only thing now is that it doesn't save the "current location preset" that Disk icon that allows you save your last location link, you we're last left at.  When I reloaded the template it went to the saved last location, and then reverted back to the native sample link at the Big Fish Audio location, instead of the location I thought I saved by hitting the disk icon which leads to my Hard Drive folder of sounds. I guess this much will work until i find out why it goes to the saved location and then revert back to the native Big Fish Audio location. But thanks anyway, without you helping me out, I would've gave up and forgot about this feature, now this program is more valuable than ever!  Now i have to figure out why it goes to the saved location, then revert back to the native location now.   Thanks for all your help!

How would I listen to the preview file live and make volume adjustment without closing the import browser?

I created a Preview Bus and it works as a set volume control.

What do you mean The volume of the preview bus may be adjusted while previewing?

I wasn't able to do that. If you need to adjust the volume while previewing from the Import file browser, you have to close the browser first. Because it won't allow any level adjustments to a Buss or Track level while the Import browser is up. 

I didn't see a volume adjustment option on the media page. Are you referring to the drop down browser option media browser?

I do not see this.

In the Audio Import Preview Bus Drop down I see a list of the buses in the project followed by a list of the device outputs starting with --None--.

There is nothing special about it. Right-click in the bus header area and create a new bus. Name it as you wish.

Thanks for all your help!  I tried creating a new Bus, It can work, in a non real time volume level adjustment process. But not being able to save the settings with the program Template kinda sucks.

But thanks again! Appreciate all your help.

Ok, I named my device in/outputs the same exact name as the Volume Busses for the Monitor speakers, so it show the Buss name, and the devices in/outs as the same exact name. I did that to make it easier to identify. I guess I would have to change one of the names to distinguish between the two. But it still doesn't save the correct buss, and defaults to a full volume buss I have no control over.

How would i create a Preview Bus, just name it Preview and it would control the Preview volume on the Import wav file browser?
