I am talking about transposing a clip not the whole track..Kev's tip work's a treat though thanks

Already Requested back in January

Interesting thread. I am thinking about the same CPU for my next machine - I've had this rig for almost 9yrs now...i5 2500 which was the best bang per buck at the time. @richard greenidge - Have you managed to push the CPU yet , I was interested to know how many plugins, VSTi's etc you could typlically run and at what latency before it started to stutter? I have just checekd a recent track and I'm running about 100 Plugins & 15 VSTi's on an EDM track. I do some orchestral hybrid stuff so I have quite a few Kontakt libraries as well for those. To get my system to play anything like the above I have to max out the latency to 2048 and freeze some of the tracks / Vsti's so I'd be interested to know what this 3900x can handle in the real world. It would be nice to keep my latency at no more than 256 and not have to freeze anything. Also what sort of drives are you using ?

Yeah this has been asked for in a couple of other threads here as well as on the old forum. I think it would work much better for today's displays

Point taken. I still think there' s a better one key solution..somewhere I was about to find it in Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts but the ' Locate Key ' function doesn't help because ESC closes the dialog box even when shifted My vote would be move it to the opposite side then and use NUM SUB ( minus key ) ..seems to be unassigned by default

I appreaciate you have added SHIFT+ESC to clear selection It's not a very easy key combo though IMHO , quite a stretch and I can't do it without looking at the keyboard- what was wrong with just using ESC on it's own ? It seems intuitive and can be found without looking .

Please can we have a quick way to transpose up and down an octave at a time in the is dialogue box..like a +12 & -12 button

Loving the Duplicate command !

I would like to see my most used plugins automatically populate a favourites list view

I usually write for music libraries in my spare time, but I have to stay in a hotel all this next week so I am hoping to start a couple of tracks on the Bandlab Mobile App on my tablet to later finish them in Cakewalk when I get back. Has anyone else tried it ? Just interested as to how well it works. The actual App intself looks very well featured and slick. I'll be using it on Android most likely.

+1 I would also like a global key change up and down..midi and audio

When minismising certain windows like plugins or an undocked Console, when you minimise them they obscure other controls like the Inspector display options

The crazy thing is there is some dead space immediately below where it is that could accommodate it without obscuring anything

How about a hot button to pop up the Asio Panel ?

Ok it's some sort of bug then as it doesn't happen that way with VSTi's I use Once the frozen audioclip is moved the unfreeze does not function My screen recording won't upload so it's here in my Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l27ibpycrem6t6/Cakefreeze.gif?dl=0 TTS1 in a clean project functioned correctly as did Kontakt which displayed the issue in the project..I've certainly encountered it multiple times before.

When you freeze a VSTi synth , if you move the resulting audio clip to another track you can't unfreeze the synth until you put it back where it came from. I don't know if this is by design or a bug but I'm often browsing through patches and stumble across thigs that might be useful as a layer so being able to freeze it and drag it to another track for later is useful. I realise you can work around this by copying but it just seems a little strange to me how it works currently. I would like to be able to move the audio clips created when freezing a track to wherever I choose without it stopping me unfreezing the synth. I think once the clip is moved from it's original position it should be free of it's parent midi data. You could leave a ghosted/muted midi clip behind in it's absence which would unmute again when unfrozen.

I would like the ability to switch to betwwen different Profiles. i.e. 1. Low Latency..this switches the Soundcard to a pre-determined sample buffer size as set by the user in the preferences i.e. 256 samples is good for me when working with midi instruments 2. Max performance..this would switch the Soundcard to a higher latency mode i.e. 2048 samples which is better for mixing The abilty to jump quickly between thse profiles would be handy, I often get 75% through a project and then decide it needs a new part that I have to play in but I have to go into the Preferences and then into my sound card ASIO settings as I will have a lot of plugins and virtual instruments running and have had to crank up the latency. Then I record my my additional part, and have to then change it all back again to continue with my mix.

Yes probably about 30 or so I only use the default Basic Project Template when I start a new track but I've never even tried a track template to be honest..except maybe once in Version 6 or whenever they came out. It seems be working okay now I changed that setting though thanks ..Just did whole track where it was fine

This seems to have helped thanks, the current project isn't exhibiting the same symptoms. I will test it going forward as I'm making new tracks every few days

Easy Start Track...Name Track....Work To Deadline ( i.e. 1 week )...Finish it...Move On To The Next No folder full of ideas...just finished tracks

I have found every project has done it for as long as I can remember..at least to Pro Audio 9 ... have 900+ plugins

This has been an issue as long as I can recall. If you export your mix at the point where audio/midi starts, it's never clean...there's alway some kind of glitch/crackle/dropped note etc. Many folks just work around it. i.e have the track start later down the timeline , say bar 5 ..and when making the export selection have it start a 16th early thus avoiding any glitchy-ness. I don't use other DAWs but I have had my ProTools and Logic using friends tell me this isn't an issue for them, it just bounces out as expected..no glitches Can this be fixed? So we can start the counce at any point in the track without glitches. Some sort of pre-roll buffer ?

I don't mind the new behaviour, My idea woud be to have the ESC key as a universal deselect shortcut - I don't think it's used for anything else and is easy to find without releasing the mouse for righties.

Thinking about my next build, this i5 2500 has done me proud for 7yrs+ but one of the two motherboard dimm sockets has stopped working so time to start putting my list together for the next machine. I am interested to know especially from anyone on the Dev side of Bandlab which type of type of processor features are best suited to CBB Is it better to go for more cores ? Or less cores with a faster base clock speed ? How important are the number of threads ? I can get a 12 thread hex core Ryzen for about the same price as a 6 core 6 thread Intel..so which is CBB optimised best for ? Do modern intergrated graphics like the Intel 630 do a good job Are CPU turbo speeds important or will I be needing to switch that feature off ? I will be looking for the best bang per buck , I never buy high end processors. I don't record a lot but I do use a lot of VI's to make tracks for TV so my preference is to run at an ASIO buffer size of 256 so everything still feels fairly snappy. A top end i5 or one of the new Ryzen 5 3600x perhaps. CBB is the main use case for my machine, I don't game or video edit. Just normal browsing, and making music. Thanks

Okay I see now. To be honest I've never found myself wanting to drop a new section in once my vocal is comped. I do all the tracking and comping and then essentitally it's' 'locked' really at that stage ( like it would be if you were mixing somebody else's vocals). It depends what you mean by 'doesn't work well with Meldoyne ' ..sometimes it's better just to tell Melodyne to remove any edits on certain words or phrases for sure. I haven't really experienced a situation where Melodyne has made me want to re-sing anything that I was already happy to have comped though. I can understand what's happening , the region FX audio takes precedence over the track audio so you wouldn't hear the new recording. You would either need to render the FX region and then edit out the old part , drop the new one in and then enable the region FX on the newly recorded part. Or what I woud do is work around it by recording it to a new track with a new Melodyne, and put all my vocal FX on their own buss and process them that way. I get the feeling it's not designed to work the way you want it to and it's expected that Melodyne would be the final thing you do.
