I don't think most people would not want to set to many notes the same volume. It is more natural to have variations in the velocities. I change multiple notes volume by -> Marquise the notes to changed (Smart tool right click and drag) Move cursor to any note in the group As you move near the top-center of that note the cursor will change to a 5 bars upside down "V" shaped cursor. Click and hold down the mouse - while holding down move up for louder and down for softer - You will see the velocity bars change as you move. or Select notes (Smart tool right click and - Marquise select them) - look on menu for Process \ Scale Velocity. You can do %'s or fixed amounts.

I didn't like the "cakewalk" key assignments so I have a strip from some post-it notes taped above my f keys - and it says - F9 Begining F10 Now F11 Through F12 End (I usually click the track number 3x to be sure it is selected) I programmed them in shortcuts. It was easy to do.

Autosave has been redone a little - I think 2 versions back. It has higher priority or something like that now. It seems to be way more reliable now. That being said I just noticed a song I have been working on a while is {Song name - }312.cwp!! My history list. Sometimes you just have to go back and copy one track from an old er version. These backups have saved me countless times. Too much time lost if you don't save save save!

Thanks to all for helping.

While working on your list I found the answer. Somewhere in Lexicon PCM Effects. Registry entries are hard coded for "their" default location. Installing at other locations will some how throw off the code that looks for pace. I have been trying to keep the ectra VST installation folder to a minimum. Common files -VST32 VST2(for 64 bit) and VST3 . I guess I reinstalled ten in another directory. BNut still....???.... Why was Cakewalk the only one that triggered that error?? Thanks for all the info. I had already done most of it but just going back through your list of possibilities helped me to figure it out. If the others would have error-ed out I think I would have found it sooner.

What if I told you it works in Samplitude, Reaper, Vegas video, FL Studio 20.7, Cantabile 3, Blue Cat patchwork’s, Finale25.5, And BIAB 2020 but errors out in BL cakewalk? I could test more but I have always thought it might be in cakewalk. What do you think now?

I have run fl studio as vstij since V4. I just updated to version 20.7 I think. It has always worked fair inside sonar. I have not had much Time in Bandlab cakewalk. I’ll let you know.

PCM Effects works in Samplitude. Haven't tried Reaper yet. I think it is a Cakewalk error some how. Why would it work in Samplitude? I did reinstall the software. I will try to activate and deactivate my license to see if that helps. Edit -> I tried to opening the iLok software and logging in again. Then I tried to log in and just leave the ilok software open. Neither worked.

PCM Effects opens up in Samplitude just fine but errors out saying iLok software is not running. Everything on my iLok works except the PCM Effects. It not iLok because it works on Samplitude. Please help, Thanks , Max Arwood

I searched and could not find it. I select all tracks and all buses. Slide 1 measure . The tracks and envelopes slide just fine. The buses did not even though they were selected. I have a ton of bus automation. Very hard to rebuild. I tried to select All the buses again and use cut special . Then I tried to use paste special. When I did nothing was pasted. Then when I did the undo from the cut automation nothing ever came back from it. Please help - Thanks, Max Arwood

After I installed 2020.08 I had to reauthorize Stylus RMX

After I installed 2020.08 I lost the ability to authorize PSP Mix Pack 2 series. Don't know if it is related or not. Edit-> I tried with JBridge and BitBridge, No different. Sent email to PSP.

Volume Envelope does not freeze. Clip Volume does. Track Gain is also frozen.

Yes, thanks. The track has been frozen and unfrozen dozens of times. I thought is was a frozen track or something like that. I just inserted another SD then routed all the midi tracks to it and took the old audio"synth" tracks and reassigned them to the new SD. Then deleted the old SD. It worked fine, But why gray I still don't know?? I will check the connect in it later. Didn't even know about that connected arrow hidden menu! Thanks

I have many tracks with multiple "jumps" in them. Is there any way to fix them other than to do them one at a time? Is there an automatic way to rebuild the Envelope?

Superior and other soft synths Freeze button Gray? I have seen this a few times. I have a project I NEED to freeze SD3. Its killing my CPU! The only thing is - the freeze button is grayed out. It is not frozen, but will not allow me to freeze it. I have seen this before when I archived Ambient mike channel, but in this project there are no tracks associated with SD to cause this. Any Ideas?

if your computer has a fast enough cpu you could set high quality on un-bounced clips. The setting for this is under audio and playback-stretch methods. Set all to pro or percussion. Just listen and see which you like best.

It does not have to be a synth to freeze. You can freeze any audio track even one with no effects on it. EDIT: I hardly ever bounce clips till close to the end of finishing a project. There is little need to do this. I only do this to clean up the projectand export the audio before backing it up. I also save projects as song-01, song 02, song 03, so I can pull up any older parts and copy them back to the original song. This might help too. I would leave them un-bounced till you are finished, then bounce them. I don't understand why you want to bounce them (audio quality I guess). You could also make 2 tracks. One bounced and one not. That way you could listen to the higher quality stretch and edit the cross faded one. Just edit the crossfade clip, clean the bounced track, then CTRL-Drag crossfade clip to the bounce track. Mute and un mute of tracks can be set up in a group to make one click to swap from cross fade clip tracks to bounced tracks. Max Arwood

Freeze it instead of bouncing it. freeze in freeze = undo available bounce = no undo later in on the project

This is the wrong place to post this type of question. Repost it here -> https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

I have rewired Finale and other apps with limited success. Rewire has a VST and FLStudio has had a VST for a long time.

I never have transposed to make the vocals sound thicker. I usually use doubling of tracks shifted up 6 cents and down 6 cents and, or tape fast slap back with saturation. I usually use - Waves Doubler, J37 tape or Sound Toys - Echoboy, Micro shift or Little Alter Boy. I almost always have some type of saturation on the vocals, it helps them to pull out front of the rest of the mix. There are many plugins and many ways to get the vocals thicker. Formant shifting is another way to change the tone without changing the pitch.

Grace is my favorite free samplers. Grace (Grace is below Poise -You can try Poise also - Piose won't change pitch) https://www.onesmallclue.com/ You might even be able to use Sitala (Won't change pitch) https://decomposer.de/sitala/

Sometimes I just want to quickly open, look at several plugins setting and just close them back. It would be nice to be able to click to open and click again to close. It would save a lot of time running the mouse back and forth clicking the X close button on the plugins window. There are other windows programs that have a click open-click close type function. This would not be to replace the X button on the window. It would be in addition to it. Edit-> I know about plugin recycle settings, but many times I want more than one plugin open at a time.

You can adjust pitches in Melodyne. Select the audio track or part of it. Click on Region FX then click Melodyne - Create region FX. It will convert the audio to blobs, Each one is a note. You can change the pitch by moving the blobs up or down.
