    CAL Script to change Event Type

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    the event kind is read-only. if you need to "change" an event kind to something else, you could create a new one of the desired event kind, assigning whatever value made sense, then delete the one you found (or leave it). in essence - you're replacing the event kind you want to change with a new one of the kind you want 🙂 

    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).

    CAL Script to change Event Type

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    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. Mine says:

    Chord track has been requested by many. An inexpensive option that I’m now playing with is called Chord Pulse http://www.chordpulse.com/

    Its only $30. I created a backing track for a song in about 15 minutes with out reading the manual. I then read the manual to learn how to enhance the song with fills etc.

    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?

    Arranger Track from Markers

    I thought that there was a way to make Arranger Tracks automatically based on existing Markers, but I can't find that feature now. Wasn't that a thing or was I just wishing 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.

    Thanks, Glenn.  I don't use Waves plugins anymore because I don't want to lease plugins.   But I will find an alternative.  Thanks for your help!

    Check out the free Vocal Doubler from Izotope (now part of Native Instruments).

    You may need to set up an Izotope or Native Instruments account, to get it.

    Just curious. What are your thoughts on the sound of the drum kits and presets? When you wrote "not liking these" were you referring to the sound of the drums or what you had to do to install and use the software? 

    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".

    [CLOSED] Cakewalk 2023.09 Early Access [Updated to Build 62]

    in Early Access Program

    Posted

    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.

    Bug using gain on multiple clips

    in Feedback Loop

    Posted

    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.

    For me,  the note names do not persist across sessions.  I have to re-select them again each time from the Notes Names dialog.  I normally open PRV by double-clicking the track (MIDI or SIT).  I'm running the latest CbB (2022.11).  Is there perhaps some setting I'm missing?

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