Not sure what's being said here. I'm reading it that once their authorization period has expired you're basically stuffed. Upgrade to the paid version or do without? This can't be the case surely

Hit 'H'. See if those tracks have been de-selected

This is interesting, certainly something I only just found out. The Dithering option in the Export dialog will automatically pick up whatever the user has set under Preferences > Audio > Playback & Recording.

You can usually toggle it on/off with 'I'

You can prevent unwanted editing on a clip by right clicking it and select Clip Lock. You can lock the data, position or both

At that level of resolution, it begs the question - is this anomaly even audible?

The only time to use dither is when you're exporting to a lower word length - i.e. from 24 to 16 If you're not doing this then leave it unchecked

A screenshot would be useful

I'd like to know what "Proper EQ settings" are?

Thanks everyone. I might have found a company local to me in the UK who offer this type of service, but I will need to check if they can bake the tapes beforehand

Hi Guys I recently came across a couple of old master tapes that we recorded back in about 1984 on 7" tape I haven't a clue about getting this transferred to digital, or even if it's possible I don't know what speed they were recorded at or anything. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to be able to get these into Cakewalk and have a play with them

Try accessing Meter Options from the Display button at the bottom of the track inspector

I would suggest there is something seriously wrong if you cannot even play a 47 track project. My old XP machine with 4Gb RAM would and did play back 75 track projects, complete with all manner of FX plugins, unrendered V-Vocal clips, un-bounced VSTi's

Looks great on my Samsung Galaxy

Thanks Andy. It was a lot of work and took months to finalise. It all started with a very simple chord change and a one line lyric my wife came up with. From small beginnings.......................

Thank you Nigel The drums were all from BFD. I didn't load one of their stock kits but built a custom one from various stock kits & expansion packs

Bit of a lengthy one

I have always been from the "mix on monitors, check on headphones" school, but this comes with a few caveats it will be very useful to treat your room, even if it's just the corners and mirror points 12' x 12' isn't ideal, being square. but make sure your monitors are set up at the correct height & distance from the rear wall and your head. Ideally your head & the 2 monitor should form an equilateral triangle with the tweeters pointing at your ears. Avoid if possible having your head at the exact centre of the room Learn your room. Play lots of reference tracks at CD quality in a similar genre to your music When using EQ, always try to cut unwanted frequencies, not boost wanted ones Get your mix working in mono before you pan anything out to the sides Read up on Complementary EQ which will teach you how to "carve out" different frequencies for different instruments There is tons more to it than that but it's a start.

I know you said in your first post that you've checked you haven't pressed the Pause/Break key inadvertently, but have you checked the Scroll Lock Key?

Using Ripple Edit is the best way to remove "dead" space.

Sounds like a sample rate mismatch to me.

Freeze will convert your midi into audio, disconnect the synth leaving pure audio. If you need to go back and change anything midi related, just unfreeze it.

Project Name is included by default if you go File > Export > Audio
