ive tried searching with every wording i can think of 

if someone can just point to the page in the Cakewalk manual 

thanks

Of course  ...very evident when some one points it out

anyway very grateful for your help

Me again..

i have a song im working on that has a drumloop that i like

but has a weak kik drum so i have set up another track and set up another kik that works well together 

with the loop kik

so know i have the loop with weak kik (still very audible) in conjunction with this other kik

now it sounds punchy..but i did have to line up the new kik coz the loop kiks werent always on the beat

some a few ticks  ahead/behind....OK painstakingly done all that

Now i discover that theres the remnant of a Hi Hat on the subsidiary kik track which is upsetting 

the groove.

i have also discovered that i can shorten this clip and remove the remnant but 

coz the kiks are not uniform in placement will take me ages to 

modify each one by hand..

 OK so how do i tell cakewalk to make every clip on  my kik track to be a specified length (thus removing the remnant HiHat)

Thanks for reading...

OK all working now ..thanks again Azslow your advice 

helped a lot...

I was really starting to freak out.

Thanks Azslow.....

connecting the X tender with Mackie XT is the missing peice of the puzzle.

i was using the standard Mackie...big problem.

so just to get this right...do i initially connect both units 

to seperate USB ports on my computer and setup? And then piggy back from X Touch...

Or do piggy back them from the XTouch like the setup guide (yeah right) says.

Or are they always on seperate USB?

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply but thats not what it is..i know that one.

Like i said somehow connecting the X Tender 

stuffed up Cake..but removing the file like i said earlier

fixed it

Hi all Like it says.

i have already tried to do this and caused myself hours of angst and anxiety

as you can read in my other post  "Cakewalk will not launch"

so this time i will wait till someone much more knowledgeable than me can assist

simple ...connect x tender to x touch to cake...step by step 

if you can 

Thanks

ok it seems Cake will create a new ctrlsurface file...and

now everything is back to the way it was.( i think...i hope)

problem now is getting the X Tender to connect to Cake...

i have made  a copy of my current working  ctrlsurface file

so i can replace it if this happens again.

so my ne w question is just that 

how connect  xtender to x touch to cakewalk

i think thats a new thread

thanks all

OK so ive kept digging .

i found a file called ctrlsurface in appdata/roaming/cakewalk/cakewalk core

and removed it and now Cake boots and works..

when i try to open the said file to maybe remove the offending entry its all in machine code.

Hi all

Up until 90 min ago cake was running perfect

Intel I7

SSD / RME UFX / Behringer X touch.....all perfect

until i tried to connect a Behringer  X touch Extender..(xtra 8 motorized faders)

i set up what i thought was a new controller and  i couldnt get it working

so i closed cake to try again later..later came but cake just boots to the splash screen

and crashs to the desktop..

im fairly computer literate so i tried a few things.

Boot win 10 into safe mode...nada

Shift control boot up cake ...nada

rename AUD ini file...nada

update cake to latest ..nada

i dont want to uninstall /reinstall coz ive got so many customizations

what can i do..is there a file i can go to and remove the  new x tender settings i made

as that is ,i believe.the,cause of this problem.

Having said that cake has never once given me a problem its proven to be very robust

hence my surprise with this .

thanks

PS I have an old Sonar platinum on my computer and it opens and works fine

thank you all for the instructions and suggestions..

i remain humbly in your debt.

Hi all ..is there a way to compare a mix 

e.g.

with the bass at one level with a mix of the 

same song with the bass down. without saving and reloading both of them.

What if i want to compare 4 different bass levels or different  EQ

soemthing like screensets for mixes

Thanks

Autokey sounds like a good idea..but ive downloaded and installed it 

and find it way above my skill set.

isnt there another program where it just records the clicks i have to make

to reach a certain goal then assign it to a key of my choice

kind of like WSYWIG??

Thanks

thanks for that..

seems cumbersome..

do you mean eg if i want to record a part with

three different sounds from the same synth

i have to 1. insert audio track 2 insert synth 3 record 

then do this all over again?

isnt there a way to direct the output of the synth 

to a track of my choosing? that way i dont have to keep inserting the synth.

does the aux track feature play into this at all?

thanks

Hi all ..ive searched but cant work it out...like it says

i want to to record  soft synth audio in real time .

 i have one part i want to test with several sounds.

how do i do it...thanks

hello all..i notice this was asked earlier but no response yet...

what is the usefulness of waveform outline?

thanks

Hi Noel..can you expand on your comment "User interface is one of the main areas that can cause glitches"

if thats the case how do we streamline the interface to have less impact on performance?

ok thanks

Thanks Noel ..

can i hide them?

Hello, me again

so as some of you may know i am using AUX sends instead of buses.

all good...but when i go to" insert send " it shows all my currently used plugins as well .

 can i remove then from view as i dont want to have to wade thru them

everytime i want to insert a send.

Thanks again

Thanks all..

ill just use AUX tracks ..

just more useful.

anyway thanks for all the replies

yep can do that ...

the way you are suggesting is to take trax that dont really need to be put in busses

1x bass 1 x acoustic guitar 1x electric guitar 1x voc 

which are already on separate trax

just so i can have the benefit of being able to solo  a buss and other random trax

call me intuitive, but it doesnt make sense to me from a work flow POV

Thanks for the replies..

What i am trying to do is simple..

I have 6 drum trax routed to a bus which has comp, EQ etc

I want to solo one single bass track which i normally do not route 

to a bus and the aforementioned drum bus ..cant do it.

all the methods suggested group solo etc...do not include the fx included on the drum bus.

but the way i am getting around it is using AUX tracks..

these seem to have (afaik)   all the benefits of bus es

and none of the drawbacks...

what am i missing here?

So it seems the only way i can do this is by setting up an auxiliary track.

that works for my purposes..

but still strange that i cant solo busses and tracks together

i dont get it..

if i want to  mix my overall  drum track 

with my bass track...i cant
