Which gets your vote, and why.

You can achieve the same thing by using the dedicated Velocity tool under Midi Fx

Clearing the picture cache fixed it. Will mark as solved

Thanks to all

This happens to me sometimes, and when it does I bounce the clip to itself to regain the waveform.  It might work for you.

Should have said, I already tried that, but thanks for the suggestion

I'd be curious to see what happens if you try to run that "empty" waveform through Melodyne again.  Just because I'm curious.

 

Yeah, that's something else worth trying

That is an odd one. Have you tried clearing out the Picture Cache as well? That will also force recomputing (all) waveforms and is the only other option that comes to mind.

Good idea - I'll try that 👍

Edit to add:  I haven't cleared out the cache for years so I'll defnitely do that tomorrow

This is an odd, one, something I've not experienced but I know others have

I was worknig on a short vocal clip (audio) and applied Melodyne as a Reigon Fx

Tweaked it uintil I was happy then rendered the clip to take Melodyne out of the picture

Now the waveform no longer displays

So I thought, no problem, I'll jsut right click the clip, select  "Associated audio Files" and there's buttong in there to Recompute Picture(s)

Result - no wavefrom

I've tried 3 or 4 times, same result

I've shut down Cakewalkm rebooted and tried again, no go

I've duplicated the clip onto another track, same story

I've also looked in the take lanes but they show flat as well (just a single take in each)

So any idea? This isn't crucial to me finishing off the project - I might re-record the vocal anyway, but it it annoying - seeing an empty clip but it clearly isn't empty 

Thanks

Did someone say switch off Fx when recording??????????????? 😀

Which parameter(s) are these envelopes controlling? This might be relevant to the bakers

And mine. Says it's full of Riskware

Don't take it badly but what all of this has to do with what I wrote or my question? "Scary" of going online and use internet?? I'm starting to believe that someone  hasn't read what I wrote or didn't care much and the only thing that interested them was to expose their enlightened thought to all the alleged imaginary terrapiatists (notoriously also retrograde, anti-change and progress😃)?

Everything some have written has nothing to do with what I have mentioned. Then let's do some clarity.

I remind you that CbB has always had offline activation. And I would like to see, since it is also present in many other daw including the most recent Studio One 6 and Cubase 13. Even the bakers have written in the release notes that the offline activation option has only been temporarily disabled.

So it seems legitimate to ask why it's not still been restored or not?

I also pointed out that in my opinion too much time has passed without having news about when it will be available again. A problem was created for those who had their own systems offline and after a year of waiting for this last update this is worse too.

I added also that I found absurd to have released this last update with the option disabled. Keeping in mind that this update had to be the latest version for CbB in any case (with over 60 bugs fixed) and released after a year of waiting. If the new offline activation system (I think in common with the future Sonar) wasn't yet ready to manage the activations of the "old" CbB wouldn't have been more sense to leave the old system active for CbB and not cause this limitation?

In case this was impossible because it had to be removed for technical reasons, why not completely remove the activation from the "old" CbB, rather than releasing it this way. In any case, CbB would have been withdrawn shortly, as well as the Bandlab Assistant and being CbB always been free would not have been a big problem.

If I, as others think, have configured my own daw system for offline use (and I emphasize one of my daw systems...not all of them...) in your opinion now, to receive on this PC the latest update of a product that will still be withdrawn, I should reinstall from scratch the whole system that works perfectly only for CbB and only because there is no news on when, what has been temporarily deactivated and that has always been present in the program for five years, will be restored? and it will be restored as the bakers also wrote..

It's seems logical for you? It isn't more logical to ask, as I did, WHEN the missing function will be restored since we are in November, highlighting that a problem has been created for some CbB users?

Just my opinion...

Well the problem is, nobody here actually knows when, or indeed if this functionality will be restored. We're [mostly] users just like yourself

One of the admin team might chip in from time to time, but don't count on it

So you were offered alternative ways to get CbB validated.

@John Vere I agree with you and I would like to be patient. The only problem is that this "last or near last" update was in the works for at least ONE year (the last update was the 2022.11). They collect bug reports for one year and when finally release this update the offline activation option was disabled. I as many others had to deal with all these bugs for over one year and now I can't even at least fix them. Also consider that we are in november, the update was released in september and still nothing...

If they are not ready to change the offline activation scheme also for this product, leave it as it was (it's a retired product in any case) or remove it but don't change it and push out an update knowing before that there will be people (don't matter how many) that can't use it.

I'm curious. What are "all these bugs" you've been dealing with for over a year?

Try opening in Safe Mode 

Easiest solution is just buy a wireless dongle. Plug it in when you need to go online and remove when done

What happens if you bounce this to a new track and freeze that one?

You can find show / hide pro channel under the area for Console View

I haven't looked for the others

I've been using since 1998 and I'm constantly amazed how this program becomes more and more less intuitive.

Forget it

You mention both hiss and hum in your post - which one is it?

You would need a different solution for each

You can eliminate the wav files "referred to but nor used" in a project by doing a "save as" with a new name to a new location.

Make sure "Copy all Audio with project" is checked. This new verion will now only reference those files currently used in the project.

Not possible. 

The best compromises are all posted in this thread.

Power-3, but don't ask we why. I can't hear a difference, but my 71 year old ears are "knackered", so no one should follow the trail I'm blazin'...

Tom, I did a test many years ago (when my ears were a lot better than they are now) - this involved putting an extremely long reverb tail on the end of a track and automatin the volume WAY up as the tail decayed. This was then sent through all the different dither options, one at a time and then listening to each of them afterwards.

The winner was Powr-3 as the decay was a lot smoother than any of the others

Easy.

But they stay locked together as one unit

Ditto with the busses

Well you can easily hide everything apart from the faders and float the resulting window
