scook = Steve Cook One of the most helpful and prolific posters here. Seems to have disappeared a while back (maybe Sept 2023).

I've been pretty happy with the free player MPC-BE x64 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/ You can adjust speed with Ctrl + Up/Dn arrows. Can also adjust audio sync with Keypad +/- . Also plays wav, mp3, etc.

Good one!

Good thought, but unfortunately, you can't INSERT an EVENT of type LYRIC. This is according to page 30/101 of the above-mentioned "The Cakewalk Application Language Programming Guide for SONAR". (The only 6 types you can INSERT are: NOTE CONTROL WHEEL PATCH KEYAFT CHANAFT).

First of all, your statement: ( if (== Event.TEXT Type) should be: ( if (== Event.Kind TEXT) However, according to some documentation I have, you CANNOT change the Event.Kind (e.g. from TEXT to LYRIC). Here's a quote from Page 17/101 of "The Cakewalk Application Language Programming Guide for SONAR". The constants: “CHORD”, “EXPRESSION”, “HAIRPIN”, “LYRIC”, “MCI”, “NRPN”, “RPN”, “SYSX”, “SYSXDATA”, “TEXT”, “WAVE” allow an “Event.Kind” test to locate these “Events” in a sequence, and yet there are no provisions for viewing, accessing or changing the values associated with them. This makes their use rather limited to merely hunting for this type of event, but not being able to do anything with it, once it has been found, except deleting them! Nevertheless, I list them here mostly because, for many of them, their existence as they relate to CAL is undocumented. These constants are only available in the versions of Cakewalk that support these data types as part of their feature package. BTW, that manual seems hard to find these days.

I have Chord Pulse and it's very good. However, I didn't know it did fills. I scoured the website and the online help, but couldn't find any mention of fills. Do you have any pointers to that info?

Check the Youtube video How to Edit Audio in Cakewalk by Bandlab by the wonderful Mike of Creative Sauce. Lots of good info. And starting around 13:00 or so, he specifically covers pops and clicks. His preferred method is to use Auto Crossfades.

I suggest looking into AutoHotKey. It's a Windows scripting language that can be used in Cakewalk. You can search these forums to see some user-contributed examples. You can google it to download it and to find some tutorials. You may need some programming chops to work with it.

It's a bit tricky. Here's how I do it: Ctrl+A to select all. Then Right click on the Timeline and select "Create Sections from Markers". Then type A to show the Arranger sections.

All these EZX have full brush kits, but I'm not really thrilled with any of them. Maybe you will have better luck. - Americana - Big Band - Jazz - Nashville - Singer-Songwriter - Vintage Rock

Check out the free Vocal Doubler from Izotope (now part of Native Instruments). https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/vocal-doubler-and-tips-for-mixing-vocals.html You may need to set up an Izotope or Native Instruments account, to get it.

I didn' t like what I "had to do to install and use the software". Because I stopped installing, I can't comment on "the sound of the drums".

My install didn't go very well. 1) I got messages about Windows Firewall. Is this thing trying to "call home"? 2) It requires me to setup an inMusic account. 3) After not liking these, I decided to Uninstall. This thing left a trail of debris all over my 😄 drive. Maybe it's just my setup, but sometimes with "free" software, you pay in other ways.

CWAFtool not working. CWAFtool complained about projects updated in the new early access version. I guess Cakewalk will need to supply a new version of CWAFtool. But in the meantime, I assume it just needs to update a line in its .ini file, so in file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\CWAF\CWAFtool.ini in the "[Options]" section, I updated the "SupportedProjectVersion" line to: SupportedProjectVersion=29.09.0.xxx Then CWAFtool seemed to work ok. Hope I did ok.

I just use: M

Any chance you may have "hidden" tracks? I've run into that before, where unexpected things sometimes happen. H is the shortcut to open the Track Manager, where you can see if you might have any hidden tracks.

Here's a few I use: https://dontcrack.com https://everyplugin.com https://plugindeals.net https://plugindiscounts.com https://sweetwater.com https://www.audiodeluxe.com https://www.audiopluginguy.com/deals https://www.bestservice.com/index.html https://www.musiciansfriend.com https://www.plugin-alliance.com https://www.thefxchain.com https://www.thomannmusic.com https://www.zzounds.com

Yes, this occasionally happens to me also. I'm just very careful now when I use Gain on multiple clips. If there is a problem, I just resort to doing each clip separately. (I have a shortcut for Gain, so it's not a big deal for just a few clips). Would be nice if it were fixed ... or if I could determine under what circumstances it fails.

Strange. I assume you re-scanned VST, did Insert Audio FX, and looked in Uncategorized?

Sure 'nuff! Got the 10%. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, HORNET VHS is still not working at all in Cakewalk. I posted the author, who confirmed, and says he will fix in the next update: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8627650#p8627650

Sale doesn't seem to apply to the new Hornet VHS plugin. Maybe because it's already on an introductory price.

Same here. The VST3 version gets a bad error from Microsoft Edge(!). The VST2 version crashes every time. I see it's been reported on the KVR forum for Hornet. Oh, well.

Finally figured it out! My Screenset was locked ... once I unlocked it, the note names in PRV are now persisting.
