Hello!
i recently started to use Cakewalk to create a multitrack project ; really is the first time i am using a multitrack editor except an old version of Adobe Audition (3.0) that i have used so far just as single audio file editor , so to normalize, amplify, denoise , high precision cutting - pasting, fade in / out , apply compression/limiting, and applying other effects.
For this reason , i still feel a little lost with Cakewalk for many reasons, even though my target is to do everything i need soon with just the new d.a.w. :
1) i can't find the editor section to find back all the accurate operations that i used to do so far to edit an audio file (mp3, wav...) or clip files that need to be edited.
- One of the things i am missing is also the advanced settings for (cross)fading curve to set not just linear, slow and fast curve but others slopes just dragging the mouse.
2) in the precedent daw i have a dedicated little panel (detachable at the need) in which i could see at glance data counters about selection/view , and particularly the duration (i choose H:m:s:frames ) in real time of the portion i am selecting. In the multitrack view i can see something that can resemble it , in the ruler, but the font size is a little too small and also tends to be confused with the background color of the ruler. It would need a customization. I have also a big time clock window but in cakewalk i can't change the format of time from M:T:B to my main projects choice : H: m: s: f .
3) in Audition i was able to move the cursor ( in Editor view) also with the rows (left and right) on keyboard and to zoom in / out with the mouse wheel , is it possible to do such kind of things with the single wave editor section?
Regarding the multitrack view and the effects on a track : why a customized setting (e.g. on a compressor) that i add to list while i am working in the track 1 , can't be reloaded for a next track ? or better , if i save also overwriting "no preset" (that is the same a preset) i can apply the precedent settings in other tracks but i can't find the precedent saved customized preset in the list. That doesn't make sense. Probably i didn't understand how to save a new preset permanently.
For now i don't have other questions.
Thanks for your patience.
