Hi all

I have a Behringer x touch control surface and its great

but when i record fader movements

and playback they are a little noisy (clickety clackety)

so im wondering can i convert the automation to a clip gain envelope

and then delete the automation?

thanks

Yes Abacab,

myself  having a control surface

does work around the issue

but its a bit like breaking a nut with a sledgehammer

Yep ,continually irritating occurrence..,

like everytime i go to do something else and return

i have to activate Cakewalk to...well..activate it.

Solutions???

thanks all..

those times are much faster than mine.

mine gets hung up on "creating ui" which upon googling i am not the only one

but no one has a solution..

just updated my VC drivers but still the same,

nope disabled protection completely and same result.

hooked up my old ssd  win 7 sonar platinum and 16 track template loads in a flash.

cakewalk BB is pausing at "creating UI" so is it something with WIN 10

and the way its handling my graphics?

wow ..thats quick...my prog and template are on the same ssd..

i might see if i can get Kaspersky to ignore cakewalk....

thanks for the replies..

i wonder if any of you can be bothered opening the default 16track template and time that.

its  one of the  templates  we all have access to. 

i know sys specs will have something to do with it

but if we all open the same thing and time it maybe we can have a ball park comparison?

for me with Cakewalk at the start screen its 17sec until i can hit play..

what ive noticed is the most time consuming phase for all my projects is the "creating UI" step

yeah thanks...

just tried the 16 track blank template and got around 10 sec

so still a bit slow

Hi all..

unless im mistaken the old Sonar used to boot up my projects quicker than  Cakewalk BB

now a typical project approx 24 tracks  maybe eq comp on most tracks /one or 2 delay/ rev busses

Takes at least 45 sec

 intel i7 860  samsung ssd  16gig ram..(same system i had when using sonar)

what are some your boot up times?

thanks Scook

i just updated to the latest version and all seems good...fingers crossed

HI all..

I have cakewalk 2018.05 and it works flawlessly

but now i want to use the current cakewalk and

 use some of its features .

what i want to do is keep the old version and have the new version as well so if

something goes wrong with the new one

i can still have the old one to fall back on.

from what i was reading this should be possible

but when i go the bandlab  assistant  the only option is to UPDATE

which i dont want...how do i do what i want?

Thanks

PS heres a post i found regarding this issue..

sorry i dont know how to link to the post

But its from Skook Feb 6 2020

BandLab Assistant will install

an update if it determines the PC has the last version of CbB installed or

the full version of CbB if an older version of CbB is installed

Regardless, there is no need to uninstall CbB prior to updating.

according to that if i have an older version the installer

will install a new FULL version and by this 

i assume leaves the old one on there as well..which is what i want

Thank you David Bay 

for me i couldn t work out why my single mono track exports were

louder than the original....then i tried what you suggested

switch the interleave to mono for the mono tracks i was exporting 

and "voila"  exported at the correct level.

thankyou very much this was causing me lot of angst and consuming much time.

thanks for that...but nope i definitely cannot click "anywhere" and make the now time follow .

.ive looked at all the transport settings and they seem to be right.

Hi all..

i dont know if its possible but ive tried everything and i cant work it out.

like it says i want to move the Now time either by right/left click during playback

i know i can click in the to top bit (sorry forgot what its called)

but i just want to be able to click from wherever  i am on the screen.

 now i know about the setting in Options/click behavior but this only works for me when its

stopped not while its playing..

D'ya know what i mean? Thanks

Well i cant work out how to control VST ees with my Behringer X- Touch..

been mucking around for hours cant get it..

checked out the link you suggested Msmcleod but i cant work it out.

anyone got any tips for a numbskull like me?

hello following this thread with interest..

hey  msmcleod are you saying i can control/manipulate vst plugins with my behringer x touch?

Thanks everybody...now all i have to do is remember this next time i install a plug in..

Yep just worked it out..

save a preset.

its a good thing i can play bass..thats all i can say

Hello ,me again.

where do i set the defaults (if at all) for the export dialog box

I.E i want it to remember to set the  bit depth at 24 and amongst other things?

thanks

thanks for that....

but all ive got in the dialog box is 

rescan failed plugins...which i assume a NEW plug in  does not qualify

and 

Rescan all plug ins

 i cannot work out how to scan for newly installed plug ins  ONLY

without scanning all of them...which for some of us can take a couple of min or more.

hello all....stuck in stage 4 covid melbourne with 8pm curfews is frustrating enough

but having to scan all my vst ees to just add one is fairly irritating as well

is there in way around this?

I see "no mapping " during learning as well.

 and as i stated earlier i also have a big 8 channel x touch control surface as well as xtouch mini.

regardless of wether i use them together or separate ..same issue

Thanks for trying to help me ,azslow3

answers to your questions...

1.. yes  xtouch mini is seen as midi device and i am able to setup a connection

2.. all outputs in control pref are set properly

3.. Yes . i see changes in last midi event..as i said earlier, i open the plug in,

turn on ACT, wiggle a knob, turn off ACT and it  confirms my movement

by asking if i want to keep the change,of course i say yes..

but then it does not respond and long press on "B" brings up

the AZcontrol window and it say "no  mapping" but everything upto this point looks correct.

4.. No because it is connected and recognized and afaik is working properly (except for this issue)

5..Not sure what you mean ..i have an  xtouch control surface which i would like to use together with the mini

but regardless of wether together or not ,the mini still does the same thing

ive tried countless experiments/variations

5.. i dont think the device is ever disconnected because i can still control the transport functions

6..No its coonected directly to USB on the M/B

6.. i have been to device manager and removed all the "ghost " x mini entries ..so not that

7.. ive tried using az actfix  in all the ways suggested in the link .

Nothing..

anything else i can try?

thanks

ok this is frustrating..

i just want to be able to manipulate my vst plug in knobs EQ ,compressor etc 

via the rotary pots on my X touch mini ..thats all. no playback transport control...dont care about that.

Now using both azlow  AZ controller or the inbuilt ACT midi controller...

I can get it to work initaily in a project but then after while (i know scientific,right)

it stops working and ive tried everything i can think of to reconnect with either drivers.

so all i want is reliable control of the plug in knobs..is anybody doing this?

if so please tell me how/what your are using..

OK more details... i setup AZ controller hit ACT button

wiggle a vst knob then wiggle an x touch knob and cakewalk says

"parameter control were touched etc" just like it should but no lights on the rotaries and when

i bring up the AZ display it says no mapping so WTF

OK thanks all ive got it clear in my head now...

ill check the thing about stereo in my buss...maybe i was imagining it.

anyway thanks
