  1. I didn't want to say anything, didn't want to sound ungrateful, but I just wasn't jelling with the big ol' U for turning snap on and off. I see in the new build that we get the old grid snap icon back. My muscle memory is most humbly grateful.

    My favorite them (Dark Gray) looks a lot more contrasty to me. Am I imagining things? It looks great!

    After playing around with the themes I may have to change my favorite to the Tungsten theme, it's quite good, perhaps better than CbB. 

    And it just occurred to me that the icon change might be due to me switching themes. Doh.

    yes! if i set a loop region in melodyne, the project freezes. if i set the loop region in cakewalks timeline no issues. ive been having some wierd stuff vst happening lately and figured it was just me after updating to latest cakewalk.  i am using latest cakewalk and melodyne studio 5. So i only use the cakewalk timeline to work around this. 

    Same here, Melodyne 5. I guess I saw it a few times in CbB but it happens very  consistently in Sonar if creating a loop region with Melodyne is the first thing you do after creating the region fx.

    Thanks!

    I have had Melodyne cause several lockups. It is a recommended procedure to bounce your clips after you have edited a region with Melodyne. I always bounce as soon as I finish with a region. Also, I do not do too large of a region. Usually  one phrase or les. It would be about 4-8 measures. 

    Yes, that's been my practice for a long time, thanks!

  4. Has anyone had a problem with hangs if after creating a region fx, you try to set a loop region using the Melodyne timeline rather than Sonar's? I have to kill/restart Sonar every time. 

    It's not a true hang, CPU varies  between 6 and 8% and mem utilization fluctuates. I created a dump file but it's 13gb.

    Guess they just haven't had enough time yet? Really?

    Please clarify. I can't tell if you're questioning my experiences or if your expressing dismay at BandLab's actions. As for me, I have no idea what's going on at BandLab. I'm just adding some insight into how some companies I've been involved with have made product decisions.

    I agree, it is very weird!

    Usually the marketing people work out prices and versions while the development team is working on the software. So that they are ready when the product is "feature-complete".

    In my experience this is done before development begins in earnest. A business needs to know the size of the market, competition, pricing, feature set and cost of development  before the first shovel full of dirt is turned. Bandlab may not have decided what sales model to implement but they almost certainly know what the numbers are.

    @Kevin Walsh what are you specifically referring to when you say UI lags behind? Also can you share some info about your displays and windows settings for display resolution and scaling?

    I should be more careful with my words. As the project plays, the now marker "freezes" at a point for perhaps half a second rather than tracking smoothly with the current sample. It then jumps to the current sample and freezes there again, and so on. It is continually playing catch up. 

    I should also note that I don't notice any stuttering in smaller projects with fewer tracks and no or few virtual instruments.

    My display is an LG Ultrawide set to 3440 X 1440 at 85hz refresh rate.

    Windows scaling is set to 125%. 

    GPU is an AMD Radeon RX580 series.

    System is an AMD 3950x-based tower with 64gb of ram and a bunch os Samsung nvme ssd's.

  8. Excited to see this available for the unwashed masses! Downloaded today, quick impressions:

    - UI has a very nice, crisp look. Looks fantastic on my hi-res widescreen display. Huge improvement.

    - UI lags a bit behind playback, not smooth at all. I think I saw mention of this being addressed in an upcoming release.

    - No problems seeing my Audient ID22, no problems with importing previous settings, and all looked good after startup.

    - Loaded one of my bigger projects without issue, played fine, but of course no save.

    - As far as Backstage Pass, tbh, I don't know if I'm up for a subscription plan. I do have a lot invested in the Cakewalk ecosystem so there's a huge amount of gravity there, but I like owning my software and loathe the idea of handing over my credit card to keep it going. I may come around on it, but that's where I'm at now.

    It's a great looking start, congrats, Cakewalk!

    I'm only 67, I grew up in the country. Our phone number was 83-R1. I can't remember Grandpas number.

    Same age, and our city phone number was Mitchell 95987.  Things seem to me to have been a lot classier then. All the men wore suits and hats and the women wore dresses  even if they were only going to the gtocery store. :)

  10. I can't understand how it is I haven't chimed in on this thread yet. I've been giving the album a listen and I'm currently stuck on Dazzle and Deceive. I love the vocal mixes and the low high doubling is just superb. Work to be proud of to be sure.

  11. I feel your pain, it's been my hope that at5 can fill the gaps in the excellent tonex product. But like you I've been unable to make it work the way I want. There is a new versions of tonex and there might be an update to at5 as well. I'm not sure about that, but tonex is at version 1.5.1 I believe? You might want to check to make sure that you're up to date, they've done a lot of work with the ui.

  12. Love the song! Good melody, good lyrics an a rich arrangement.  I do agree with previous comments about the bass, and to my ear the vocals are a bit forward, but everything is subjective so take that with a grain of salt. It's a good piece!

  13. Nice one, great lyrics and a good voice for belting it out. I liked the pedal steel sounds, really added to the vibe.

    I did a song with bib, a long time ago. If we have a bib theme day I'll post it.

  14. This is really good steve. There's lots going on here and it's all good . Such an interesting vocal melidy and a really nice guitar solo . I especially like the chord changes in the instrumental break, to my ear it's reminiscent of Lynne and George Harrison.

  15. Nice one, Steve, I love those horns and the guitar break. The mix sounds pristine to me and its a very nice arrangement. One for the album!

    Well done Kevin.

    Put a little parallel compression on you vocal... and then blend it in.
    Or a little saturation.
    Reckon your vocal will then pop!

    Vocal to vocal buss.
    New buss... vocal crush.. send vocal from you vocal track to vocal  crush  (smash the hell out of it) then blend in.

    I'll give that a try, thanks gary, you rock!
