  1. There is a setting i aud.ini for that, so those are muted as well. LinkPFSendMute=True It's in configuration file setting Preferences.
  2. I keep forgetting, but I think this might be possible in CAL scripting, if that is still there. It was 15 years ago so don't remember it all, have to recapture a bit.... EDIT: think I had my hopes up too much finding these lines of code ; Un-mute the track (TrackActive TRUE nTrk) that I felt there were ability to scan tracks over all. More midi driven language I'm afraid, but found the reference so I will see if possible in later versions of CAL.
  3. I do this once - and make a track template of everything including busses and stuff. So even to just load right instrument, and then load certain presets within as loaded - or make fully ready to use ones. - Insert from track template and done. Yes, a lot of fiddling first time, naming everything, removing unwanted - but could be only time....
  4. I read something interesting about network settings - called metered connection - that you can check that box - and you will be allowed to update when you feel like it. I seems that even MS it's over the top to demand people take direct costs any time this OS is doing updates when it wants to. https://www.howtogeek.com/226722/HOW-WHEN-AND-WHY-TO-SET-A-CONNECTION-AS-METERED-ON-WINDOWS-10/ But if you are flooded with nagscreens and stuff, I have no idea. I defered new computer purchase for 3 years now, and holding up a little bit more - I just don't want Windows 10. But these settings rocked me a bit.
  5. Yes, it would be great. Reaper is the one to copy, really, fully expand/collapse of folder both in track view and console. StudioOne is not bad either, in track arrange view, you can assign a bus that is the representative for the folder in console. And in console view - you can rightclick that folder and choose - show/hide related channels. So in Cakewalk to have menu with show/hide channels feeding the bus - would be a huge leap forwards, I think. Even though Cakewalk has a separate view for busses - it would work really well in a flash show/hide channels.
  6. Everything Staff View - another vote from me. But maybe most of all - remove the triplet thingy that there has to be three triplets notes everywhere - what beat is doing that? All shuffle is 1st and 3rd triplet - and you cannot do shuffle????? At least allow to insert manually a triplet rest, not smooth, but at least doable if that stays.
  7. I think it's saving - just overruled by workspaces/lenses thingy that overlaps other things you think is ruling. So I did my trick there. That could be seen as nothing saves - workspaces runs the joint. No matter what I did I could not get screensets to be predictable - stuff in workspaces override.
  8. I struggled with similar stuff - overlapping things in workspaces on top right on workspace, not the track control manager on top of track panel. Most predictable result I get was to open workspace manager, and on right side uncheck everything but Control Bar. Then custom command module also stays the same between projects. The the rest is governed by screensets saved with your projects, unless you do import thingy from another project. With screen sets also my own track control panel is there etc. If I get your issue, that is.....
  9. Are you doing monitor through Cakewalk and can do mod wheel stuff and sound changes? A bit puzzled over that you do channel 3 and it works but record on channel 1 or omni. What recording mode are you using? Rightclick record button transport. Haven't used the overwrite and soundonsound modes myself, but remember some replace alternatives can mess things up in daws as I discovered. I usually do mod wheel and such on a separate midi track to same destination when doing CC1 separately. Easy to wipe out and just start again. Also discovered that doing comping record and takes to separate track - create a track with a muted lane, but track is unmuted - so that is one thing to look at.
  10. Hi EDIT: It turns out that if you enter values and do Set it will write into WinCake section and be there to edit later. So this FR is obsolete.
  11. Thanks. No, it's in the clip to the right that was punch recorded as well. I could scrub it in place but playback exclude it. I could also play it from event list with the spacebar thingy. Only way to solve it was to crop that clip to the right, whih it's part of, so not visible, and make a new recorded clip with just one hit on ride and kick - and it now plays as such. Looked into fade in stuff - but nothing visible I can see anywhere that I can change. Not all colors follow what is in settings regarding PRV - so overruled by theme maybe. There is some fade in thingy for midi as well of doing crop at upper part - will have to experiment. My overall feeling is that it's excluded as punched in - but in a weird state that does not show anything but muted. I consider it worked around at least. Always a good side to problems, you learn so many new things - and I need to learn/refresh everything deeper. It's been an intense week, and one thing is clear - I'm back in Cakewalk.
  12. Enclosing a screen dump. Notes show as having velocity in event list, but show no velocity as selected in prv. I can do select on next and previous notes and take property - but not on this HH and Kick. How do I revive these to normal status? I should say, notes to left of these are previous clip, punch recorded. puuuh. spent two hours now and tried to read up on what might be going on, but fail.....
  13. This works in Cubase and Bitwig - but not in Cakewalk which show only 2 outs in plugin manager. It's such a useful plugin to do loads of VST midi plugins and synths combined for various uses. I use v1.xx of Patchwork and have plenty presets made, so thought keeping that as VST2 - while having v2.xx of Patchwork as VST3 to have both versions accessible so presets are compatible. If I upgrade VST2 version I will replace v1.xx which may cause issues with preset. Bluecat could not guarantee they are compatible. So would be great if Cakewalk supported VST3 version as it's designed for multiout. Thanks for any support on this.
  14. Ok, many thanks for hanging in there. It's often like that - different people have different ways of experiencing the same issue. I'm saying Undo does not restore - you say some trimming thingy. The job of the Bakers to see what is related to a particular issue or not.
  15. Thanks for all the help. I you are happy with length does not restore doing Undo - good for you. I consider it a bug...it could be corrupt internals of all sort messing things up later on, as I described what freezes I got....changing length of undo buffer, closing project and opening next project with a freeze?????
  16. Thanks. It does not matter exactly what measures you do - but opening dialog it says for beat 1.000 and I increase to 2.000. So numerically there is no difference saying 3.1 or 3.01 unless you mean 3.0.1 in your case. I did all kind of changes changed measure 3 to SMBAN 5, but change in tempo were so big that not so good for this demonstration. The purpose of undo is to restore to previous state - no matter what. I'll take no excuses for that, unless maybe doing hiddeous big ones like full project wide inserts of time and stuff. This happended to be visual stuff that was obvious - using undo in other situations it might just be under the hood stuff - and you may really cause strange things. Something is not right here. The week I worked with Cakewalk now - I had 2 freeze crashes - both as doing undo operations in situations. One was replace SuperiorDrummer to Addictive drums, did some wrong choice so used undo - freeze as I inserted second time as mono outs instead of stereo. The other were doing change of undo depth - next project opened without fully closing Cakewalk in between open next project. I consider Cakewalk really stable, as was Sonar Artist 2015, as was Sonar 4 Studio and Sonar 8.5 Studio. But Undo, I will avoid that like the plague....doing save before operations frequently to just reopen project.
  17. Thanks. It seems two consequtive SMBAN is the culprit, shown in images. Text explain what I did. I named tracks for 1st column clips Tm=track musical timebase, Ta=absolute track timebase, Cm=clip musical, lock or not, Ca clip absolute lock or no lock 2nd column clips are as first clip musical no lock. Real problem seem in this test to be musical clip on a absolute track. After two SMBAN both first undo and second does not restore. I have a bundle project as well that I can post.
  18. Thanks, I searched and saw that posting before doing mine(really good search engine here, among the best). For a plugin you need to pin it, on every track then to read. There are nice notes fields for tracks, folders and take comping as I saw in Cakewalk Selecting each track to get Inspector selected that tab can be pinned - not bad. That is better than plugin in itself IMO. Just making track field a better overview of the tracks one. I've grown fond of how it worked in StudioOne. Cubase was good too. Remedy lack of space in name field of track, especially in console - you get this multirow field to extend a bit - right where it should be.
  19. I find this perfect to better describe a track that does not fit on track name field. Multiple rows and everything. Good overview. Notes on patches used on synths, other ideas and comments on what to do etc. So a selectable module to show in console, and part of what can be chosen in Track Control Manager as well. Thanks for any support on that.
  20. It doesn't remove the list that you can read at all - that is in Inspector still. Cubase has a separate dialog similar to Cakewalk too, duplicating that. Since tempo changes are related to positions in project - it's nice having that along timeline, if you want that. Or just use the list - up to you. And also seing, a number like a little flag and 135 on measure 13 in ruler meaning tempo changed there to 135, and whatever other tempos there are. Reaper and StudioOne do that nicely. When you are setting a pre-roll and count in - to record - to see the changes where they are in time. Now you put that in markers yourself, so tempo is part of marker name. I just think it belongs in timeline. And once in timeline - you can have the next like video show - to easily have tempo grid elastic and just drag to locations. StudioOne has a similar approach. Very useful if doing free improvisation to video you are scoring for - and then match grid to fit.
  21. Thanks. I write incomplete - 4 tracks with 2 clips each - only midi. Same clips actually, duplicated, not linked. 4 positioned at same location, measure 2 or so, above each other to easily see how the Absolute timebase, and lock pos/data worked. And second set of 4 the same a couple of measures further up untouched being musical timebase and no lock. I experimented with various timebase and locked and unlocked on both the track and the clips - and either way they should just jump back to how it looked in position and length. I was trying out how to eventually tempo match these and how they changed when doing a Set measure/beat at Now. I could not do one SMBAN in middle of 2st colume of 4 clips and undo and it reverted to same look. And as mentioned, how much undo is available seems to have something to do with it. With undo at 10 I thought I would be ok, as I usually felt Undo was the same and amount of rows in history - but seem wider in how it operate. Maybe two of 8 clips looked the same in size and position with Undo at 10. But closing project and opening again they were the same again. So increased to default 128 and did SMBAN then Undo- and like 6 of 8 became the same - much better. So I was into doing this experiment and just this behavior of Undo became something I wanted to know more about how it operates. I will try and provide this little project tomorrow or so.
  22. Comp recording mode, takes to separate track - I get a muted track sort of, fine, it did not disturb next take. But track itself does not show Mute button lit. Selecting the clip properties is not showing mute. Still you see status on events on clip like dimmed - even though look the same as taking it to the editor as clip on the first track. How do I get that take to sound ? EDIT: ok I found it - you get a new track with the take, that in turn has a take lane - and opening that lane is muted. Tricky one....better if track itself created would be muted so you see that....
  23. I changed tempo on a small project with 4 tracks 8, 2 each track midi clips - using set measure/beat at Now. But length and position is not restored on all - just some. I first set undo to as low as 10 but then nothing just about was restored by Undo inserting a tempo change. Then set to default 128 some more was restored as result of Undo tempo change, but not all. Increased to 256 and still one clip did not restore to original size and position doing Undo. History just show tempo change - so how does this work? Only way to restore is to have project saved before doing tempo change, and close and open project again - then all looks as before tempo change. Undo cannot be trusted, really. Thanks.
  24. StudioOne also has a neat ability to match tempo grid to clips in arrange view. Just drag grid nodes to any spot that makes it fit. And having tempo map as a track above arrange view - and showing any change on tempo, even if that view is collapsed to really not fit all tempo changes.
