I usually do this by adding the delay to the track/bus of the vocal track - set the delay parameters - automatize the effect to the desired effect. No need to split the clip, just work on the automation lane. Other solution? yes, duplicate the track - split the clip (create fade in-out in the edges to avoid noises) - move the clip to the 2nd track - apply the delay to this track only. You can even use this method to get the delay effect in all the words of your vocal track that you wish to affect. Just split them from the 1st track.

Yes, I switched from Saving as Bundle to Save As (including audio files). And I use this only when the project is finished, saving at least two copies in two different drives (plus the Cloud). I think that once you get a personal file handling system that works fine for your needs/habits, it’s easier to avoid the kind of problems you describe. The Clean Audio Folder utility is not really a file manager, but a (sometimes) useful tool to delete un-referenced audio files, but I guess that means that the file is REALLY orphaned, and not just in a different drive, or hidden somewhere.

I understand. To my knowledge, there is no need to use Copy multiple times. Just copy and paste as many times you want in different sections of your project. At least in my system it is working as described. See video. By the way, there is also the option to Copy-Paste Special-Link to Original Clips if you want to edit the "master" clip later: the linked clips will update as well. Video 1.mp4

Yes, use Edit/Paste Special instead: you can select the number of repeats.

Hola, Creo que tendría que configurar cada instrumento a 432 Hxz, uno por uno. No conozco una forma de alterar esto para todos los instrumentos simultáneamente.

Yes, it is. After a while, it makes sense, as you just right click on any control you want to automate: it's very straightforward. Once you do it, the automation lane is created and you can edit the envelope itself if needed. Remember that you can also enable-disable READ automation to temporary override your envelopes, without erasing them - Very useful!

You can also use Tab to advance to the next marker, or Shift+Tab to return. (not sure if this is are default shortcuts or I did configured myself...)

Comes to mind: Make sure you selected only the duplicate, prior to transposing. Check that the clips are NOT linked . Check that you didn't linked the track when duplicating (there is a check box to activate this).

I checked in my system and indeed it's not importing two separate mono tracks from a stereo track video source. I get a regular stereo track instead. May be a bug?

It's not that difficult to use your mouse, at least for a first pass: when in play mode, with the fader armed for automation writing (and reading of course) just click once when you want a change, no need to hold it pressed all the time. After this you can go to the envelope lane and adjust as you need, drawing. Sometimes it's easier to draw, sometimes it's easier to use the control surface or the mouse.

Yes, of course you can. In fact you can automate almost everything in CW. There are several ways to automate your buss: Right click on the parameter (fader-pan,etc) - click Automation Write Enable - press play and move the parameter in real time: it will record your changes Create a automation lane for the desired bus: draw your changes in the corresponding bus lane You can even enable-disable the reading of your automations. There is plenty of information about this in the manual.

...comes to mind, make sure the selected area includes the audio output of your VST. If not selected, there will be no audio exported. I usually manually select the tracks (audio outputs included). Or/and Double check the settings of the export dialog (there are several options to choose from). If you choose the wrong ones, it could explain the lack of audio in your exported wav.

Mmmm, may be a good idea to contact XLN support. Or you can send a minidump to Noel, cakewalk support, to confirm if the crash is related to XLN XO or CW.? https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/profile/25-noel-borthwick/

Some plugins use "look forward" for proper use, as Pro Channel LP EQ and Adaptive limiter. It introduces a delay.

Pulsewalk, the crash related to Vienna Synchron was resolved by the Vienna team. They contacted CW and figured out it was something on Vienna's side. It's solved at this time on the latest Vienna Synchron player release.

I think there are several ways to accomplish that, and it depends on many factors to decide which way to go. I used to normalize the clips too, but I discarded this method in favor of a less destructive and less radical approach. I use this workflow: Comp the takes Duplicate the comped take and archive the original (just in case!) Use Melodyne to adjust details (tuning and timing mainly, but also specific blop levels) Use track envelopes on sections of the song. Apply compressor to the whole track (or bus), if needed I'm sure every producer has it's own preferred way to work on vocals, and of course the source material often point in a direction to go. Hope it helps!

Now I'm curious too... I have no answer, but hopefully someone has one.

Great! Crashes: I had this problem before, but Celemony's team solved it in newer versions. At this time, using latest CW version+latest Melodyne version, everything is working fine. May be you can contact Celemony's support about this. Even better if you send them a crash log (minidump), if you are familiar with the process of getting it. If not, check this: Macro: Not sure what you are intending to do. If it is leveling the notes (volume wise), there are several ways to do it (compressors; changing the clip volume; using volume envelopes, etc), and of course adjusting the blops levels one by one inside Melodyne. I use the later to fine tune details, not the overall volume of the vocal track. I find best to use a compressor on the whole vocal track, and adjust details inside Melodyne, but this is just my preference.

I'd suggest you make sure that there is no blops selected before hitting play. If there is any, the screen will not update. Click outside the blops in any blank space. And make sure you have Melodyne auto scroll turned On.

jeje, I'll check the effects part - not familiar with it yet.

Here is the Celemony's brief comparing all the editions: https://www.celemony.com/en/melodyne/melodyne-5-editions For what you say, I don't think you will benefit a lot by upgrading, as the main difference between editor and studio is multitracking abilities, which means that you can access and compare multiple tracks of content in the same view. I did the upgrade a while ago because I was working in a project involving 4-5 different singers in each song, so it was really easy to align and edit all of them from a single view. Also, I use the plugin a lot to edit guitar parts - the polyphonic editing is just an amazing tool! I suggest you double check your workflow needs, as the audio editing capabilities are almost the same.

Thanks! I'm already reading the guide. Very helpful!

Hi, I'm having to replace my broken Bose QC20 wired noise cancelling headphones. Nowadays, it seems that manufacturers are discontinuing wired headphones, in favor of Bluetooth versions. But, for music production, there is a noticeable delay when playing - say a piano - through Bluetooth cans. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Agree. I would analyze the songs to see how much difference there is in terms of volume. If those are relatively small, apply compression and it will level up everything. Be careful to proper configure your compressor settings (specially attack time and compression ratio). If the jumps are big, try using level envelopes first and then apply compression if needed. I think is important to get the right treatment for your audio, depending on the music content .
