So I'm an American and not sure how you in the UK use the word "Script". Here "script" would be just words and not music. A musical score is simply a piece music with all the instruments available to see. A conductor looks at a score, the oboe player looks at the oboe part. A "score" in music terms can also refer to the total music provided for a picture. "I scored that TV show" or "Hans Zimmer has the best score for a movie this year". "I was hired to score that documentary" means I'm going to compose music to be used throughout the project. I think it has become shortened from "underscore" in which the music is meant to be under the dialogue.

There are a couple of ways to do this. Paul P's link is really good. Something else you might want to try is leave the tempo and just use the drum replacement plugin.

It would really be nice to be able to transpose chords in staff view. So many uses for that. I can live with the rudimentary staff view, but not being able to transpose chords makes for a lot of busy work for me.

WOW 1st preliminary tests of the new up date and it's very good. Time stretch works well, and Melodyne is usable for me for the 1st time in along time. VERY COOL. Thanks to the bakers again.

Not sure if this helps, but there is a place to "undock" the multidock and a place to undock the individual views in the doc. I would start by putting the video back into the Docking and get that all working and settled. Then find the video's own individual tab, undock it and you should be able to drag into the other monitor. If that does not work I think you have a windows problem. Make sure windows sees your monitors correctly by checking display settings...

Yeah so between 1992-2000ish that was my life! I locked my laptop with a 20 meg hard drive to a discarded 3/4" video machine and a broken 13in TV that tuned into only channel 3 (luckily the same channel that came out of the video machine) ....I made enough money composing to picture with that rig I moved into a nice neighborhood and sent two kids to college. That app locked to picture faster than anything at the time. It had the frame rate I needed that was not available on other sequencers. I thought it was all I ever needed. I kinda miss the 100 hour weeks I spent on it.

Cakewalk started as a midi sequencer. It's strength is it's ability to do midi. I've tried other DAWs and will take CbB over any.

I have used the mac version only to record a couple of mono vocal tracks. It worked in a pinch, but getting much more out of it was ruff and I was glad when I was able to get back to my own rig. It works, but not fully capable.

+1 for sweetwater .... I'm thinking it's been 30 years for me. The tech department has saved my life more than once. Paul Lea has been my guy, I hope he is filthy rich, he deserves it!

For what it's worth, I never use drum maps and have survived the world. I use to put the parts on different tracks, but the way PRV works these days that is not even necessary. In fact it is better because you can see how all the parts of the drum kit interact at once. You can pretty much lasso any parts and edit them in mass. It gets a little sticky when trying to edit a kick and not snare and vise versa cause they sit so close to each other on the PRV...or any sounds that are close together. But the world is OK without drum maps and putting drum parts on different tracks.

I have the same issue and it has bothered me for years...what I always do is right click on the fader and assign it to my midi Behringer x-touch mini...then re save the Kontact file. I know you wanted to avoid that. I'm going to look into CosmicDolphin's solution...I did not realize that was an option.

you can change the size of the printed size of the staff view by looking at Print Preview and change "configure". you have to click on next or previous to see the effect of the change

I've always worked doing audio for video so 48k for me. In the old days 48k synced to picture more accurately with less drift. I wonder if that is still true. I use to be able to hear the difference between 44.1 and 48. If I had heard the program a million times, hours on end (while working on the project intently) and with good monitors I was familiar with. I could detect a slight difference. Again that was 20-25+ years ago when digital was getting going and I wonder if it is still possible to hear the difference today. I doubt my ears work any where near as well and I'm not willing to put in the effort to find out. So can anyone hear the difference between 44.1 and 48 these days?

I can not say definitively either way not knowing all your setup, but I have run Cake for years (for hours on end) on a desktop without any issues like you've described. Yet on a laptop that I use for when I'm traveling or doing remote recordings I seem to recall your issue. If I remember correctly it has to do with driver settings. Are you using AISO? You probably need to experiment with those settings to see what works best on your system.

is this not the greatest place???

I've been reading Craig's stuff since high school....and I just turned 60 years old last summer. He feel's like an old friend, yet I have never met him. Someday!

Hey Bob, I have found that the best way to learn new apps is to just dig in and and try to what you want, then google what ever stumps you. I then write it down in a little note book, but I rarely need to go back to the note book 'cause writing it down seems to increase the chance of it getting it in long term memory. You'll find everyone here wants to answer your problem no matter how trivial, unlike many other forums where a simple question can get you some not so easy to understand answers just to belittle your question. ie...Google> Cakewalk how to activate ripple edit and the answer magically appears. Otherwise ask here and you will always get good answers and answers to things you thought you knew, but dang if there ain't someone with a better way. Good Luck

Just checking out what this looks and smells like...
