How do you pick some earbuds with descent latency? How about Soft silicone ear fittings? Does Bluetooth have ASIO drivers? What are some of the better brands? List your favorite in any of these categories $24 $50 $100-$120 $200 Thanks for any help! Max

Great job. He should be happy with the song and glad he chose you to produce his music.

I’ve done my share of fixing bad tracks for people. I wasn’t insinuating anything about you or this guys playing. Just trying to help. What mettlus said Did you read what Noel wrote? He is one of the Main programmers of cakewalk. Set/Measure Beat At Now could help you Do this once per measure or once every 2 measures. I would probably do quick groups and edit the really bad parts with quick group edits. With quick group you can simultaneously edit as many tracks as you want at one time. Then I would pick one track that is the best and do Set/Measure Beat At Now. Lastly I would do individual edits to move the worst timed parts/notes/phrases closer to the correct timing.

What mettelus said works. It can be labor intensive. You can google a video. I have watched a couple. Once you get the hang of it you will be able to move fairly quickly thru the song. If is doesn't sound close to correct there is no software that will fix this. You have to manually cut sections out and scoot things around. Once you have it close you could use Set/Measure Beat At Now. It works great. If it’s a great song or he is paying you well for you services, I can understand why you would go to the trouble to fix it. Good songs can rarely be created by fixing things. You can get the notes to line up with a beat just fine with software, but good music is not usually lined up perfectly to a beat. It usually has small ebbs and flows. It pushes the beat on a chorus then falls back on a verse. How could you line this up? If it is electronic or such it’s ok to have exact timing. On the far other side is a ballad which probably does not lock to the beat. Here is a very good explanation of Set/Measure Beat At Now by Noel Borthwick https://noelborthwick.com/cakewalk/2014/09/12/sync-your-daw-audio/

I couldn’t find mcclouds, but here is one from a google search https://youtu.be/LF8g-3KdzcE? talkin about low floor noise lol!

I usually use markers for the verse/chorus/prechorus/other. This way I can 1 select the tracks I want to work on 2 click between the markers on the ruler 3 while holding down the CTRL add a clip gain 4 move the mouse to a darkened area caused by the marker selection. The cursor changes. Drag this area down and it will automatically add the nodes and move the selected env area down on all selected tracks. You could drag up or down. Mccloud made a great short video clip on it. I wish I could locate it for you. you can : add all types of envelopes automate multiple envelopes change multiple effect/reverb sends You could change the volume of 50 tracks at the same time! You can do a ton of stuff with this. It is called quick group if you want to search and study it. Edit - quick groups is a good thing to learn, but adding a group bus to use for volume automation is simplifying things not making it more difficult.

Yes. you could add gain envelope to multiple tracks. While hold down the CTRL key you can then select multiple tracks and lower volume use the new gain clip volume tool. The CTRL key will make it happen on all selected tracks. You can do other things too with multiple tracks and the CTRL key like: change the reverb levels, lower the gain or volume knobs., add multiple sends. Keep the CTRL key down when making edits.

Dust is an insulator. I think heat from clogged heatsink fins could slow the processor. If cooling is degraded enough, your components could thermal throttle or even shut down. Dry ice would be better than dust. 🥶 you could really over lock it then. 👍

Wow this is a HAPPY DAY. It’s also sad I have been clocked at 3510-3512 for who knows how long. I can’t wait for 4500!!!!😊

Hey Jim - I am running at 3.4 Device Manage says Core i7 2500K @ 3.4GHz. Can This be upped?

I read the fine print. It has some weird stuff in it. Thanks,

Is this a real deal? It seems awfully cheap.

I am demoing it too. I can’t decide.

Thanks for this thread/info!

No extra coupon here either. I did get Voxbox a couple of days ago. It is definitely worth $39. I have everything offered in PA, Waves or other versions, but I was thinking about getting one more. What is your favorite of the $89-$39 variety?

I don’t have any UAD plugins so, I’m wondering 2 things. 1 how bad are they on CPU? 2 how much better are they than other vendors like Schep 73, Puigchild, Puigtec, CLA2A, CLA3A, PA Lindell,PA others?? Thanks

It doesn’t really work that way. The program has to be installed. If your songs are missing, look in the recycle bin. If you projects are not in the recycle bin, you would have to use an undelete/recovery program. https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

Lustrous plates is my least favorite of their plugins. It was fun playing with the different metals, but it never ended up in a template or song.

I use the plug-in menu save sometimes, but I save to a folder with subs for different plugins/vendors. You will not loose presets this way! Nothing like after the fact suggestions. Sorry. Did you modify the preset very much?

I guess what threw me off was that the file really is local! I'm not sure how the \\ got in the wave file path. I didn't even notice this. I think I opened it up remotely and the path name stuck. Thanks again!

I have always saved with incremental numbering. I work on v10 then save as v11. Work on v11 and save as v12. I have never created sub folders for each version. I just stack them up in one folder per song. Do you need a video?

It has never done this before.

I am getting a very odd save error. I always use save as. When I try save as, I choose an incremented number like song 01, song 02. With this new version, I get odd errors. I used save as 4 times the file never got saved. I get a new directory with the file name in it each time, but no .cwp ???? Cakewalk says there is already a file by this name. If I answer no. The directory seems to already be written. When I say yes get the "Blue title bar error. You can see the created folders in error 6 Save with same name reply yes - error 5 Am I the only one that can't to save as? This has happened on 3 different songs. I could do a video if i need to. Please help!

Just say I just start checking marking really quickly to speed hiding all those VST twos. What if I don’t pay attention and I have a vst2 but no vst3 and I choose both boxes. Would I be able to see the vst2 even when both boxes are chosen and there is no vst3?

They do not look like the same wave? Could you show more of the normalized one?
