I have a custom layout and hit 1 doesn't get back to that.  A simple 'revert to the last screen set' or 'oops' button  would be nice ?   I think it has something to do with 'workspace' setting which I still don;t understand.

So I try to change my habit by using the track envelop instead.  It draws the nodes on every single Take Lane!!! 

I can't see the logic in this.  The takes will never ever lined-up perfectly to use the same nodes location intended for one take.

CW bakers, please take a look and perhaps address the issue as I believe that improvement is needed here.  thx

Screen sets are mapped to the numeric keys and I often fat fingered and inadvertently changed the screen layout.  Can't find a way to revert to the last screen so is there a way to disable short-cut mapping of the numeric keys?

As of 2020.10 you will be presented with in-app updates whenever an update is available.
Updates are downloaded to a Cakewalk subfolder in your local Downloads folder. So you can transfer the installer easily from an online machine to an offline one.

 

This is what I was hoping and waiting for for awhile now.  thanks

technically you can change tempo of audio tracks/clips but the result audio quality is pretty bad in my experience. 

My studio has no internet and barely one bar of cell signal (on a good day).

Is there a way to download and save the big cakewalk application file and then install that on the machine that doesn't have  internet?  In the past, the downloaded file got deleted.  Wonder if it stays on your machine somewhere now with offline auth.

I believe that this is an bug.  Once it works initially it should work the same throughout.  I usually play around with a clip gain and timing first before settling on the one to use.  Sometimes a little gain adjustment is what it takes to see how all the clips would sound together before you commit. 

Still un-resolved.   I spent sometime with CW yesterday and remember now why I use the project timeline, because you cannot do 'add notes at selection' or create nodes automatically by moving up/down the region in Take Lane.  This method only works in Track's envelop but not for envelope in Take Lane.

There is an  erase/mute tool short cut is F10.  F5 is the smart tool, don't think smart tool has erase function, just slip edit (shorten or extend a clip's ends) just by dragging the ends

in one case on mine, it was one of the plug-in.  who knew, I was pulling my hair out!  it was Fabfilter L, increasing the look ahead value resolve it.

maybe the clip is locked?

btw dragging the clip's begin or end just shorten the clip, the waveform is still there if you expand the clip so it doesn't really  'disappeared'

every time I open CW, I have to do an alt-x to set the display of the aim assist to on, it defaults to 'off'.   it doesn't get 'saved' when you close CW.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but to select a region on a clip or an envelope you just click and drag on the clip or envelope, selecting on the timeline selects all tracks.  I don't think this is a bug.  It is very easy to make a selection and add nodes,  simply click and drag on the envelope to make the selection and then move the cursor to the top of the clip until the icon changes to the envelope edit tool and then click and drag your mouse up or down.  Nodes will be created automatically.

This is a good tip that I also do sometimes,  but TBH it's so easy to select a region and drag with nodes automatically created that I almost always do that.  ?

Thank for the tips, both does the trick, it's only obvious when you know it ?

I think I've found the culprit :

I use the project timeline to select a region and then on a clip or a track's envelope do a insert nodes at select region, I would expect that the nodes would only get drawn on only the envelope that I placed my cursor on but no, nodes would be drawn on all active envelopes!!!  So if I creates some nodes on a clip, on a track's volume envelope nodes are added there too.  So after awhile those unintended envelopes look like a mess.

Unless there is an 'exclusive mode' (only place nodes on the envelop that you place the cursor on) this would be a big bug to me.

@CJ.  this is when I do "bounce to clip", not the Export function. However there is not much in the export properties that I can see.

Entire Mix; wav format, Mix Enable: all  check box checked except Live Input; Channel Format=stereo.

This issue occurred in a couple projects only not all. 

I started years ago with the 7506, too bright for mixing, and also think that's it's crazy for a headphones to cost over $150.  Then every other few years I try to get a 'better' one.  I now use Sennheiser hd6xx.  Twice your price range but you wont need another 'better' set next year.

I have not noticed this issue before but the project that I'm working on, when I bounce a clip, it rendered 3db lower in level and the clip name become blank.

Any suggestion of what to look for? 

I have invested and used SC but as a DAW controller, for me a keyboard and trackball is much more intuitive, all muscle memory.  I use a Trackball mouse so movement is super precise and fast.  My biggest issue with using a SC I have to jump to a block of 8 channels at-a-time and most of the time I don't know which block or channel I'm at;  fader movement on a wrong track;

I only use the SC for tweaking vst synth, the  (sliders/knobs/pads) is essential in this application.

I've always manually enter the nodes using the mouse

when I open an envelop, sometimes I see that there are bunch of nodes all over the place.  They are not what I put in, I suspect that they are from other envelopes that somehow got drawn.  Not sure if anyone has seen this or understand what I'm trying to describe, but if you do, is there a way to default the nodes to be drawn only on the envelope that you are placing your pointer to and no where else?

A quick Youtubed Blue Cat Audio Patchwork looks promising, just need to see if automation is still possible.

To clarify, my understanding is the FX in the FX bin is sequential, the one at the top feeding into the next, and so on.  So the question is is there a way to route FX in parallel?

What I do currently is duplicate the track and insert the FX at 100% wet into the duplicated track.  for example with 4 FX that would be 5 tracks (one original or direct and 4 wet) and sum them into a bus.  Using aux-track is a little better that you don't duplicate the audio clips but you would still have 5 tracks, in this example.  Just wondering if there is better way.

I want to apply fx to a track in parallel, meaning one fx will not affect the other, and then sum into a bus.

Since FX bin is always feeding into the send, I'd have to create two send to two separate aux-tracks; then each aux-track have its set of FX, then route the two aux-tracks  to a bus.

Is there another way to do this? Would be great if the track's FX bin can be configured to be "post send" so the raw track can have its FX also.

thanks for the explanation.  For me for the longest of time I don't understand why  some plugins get re-scan and most don't.  Now I know.

I'd like to have a tool that list all the peaks in my mix so I can go to that time/point and fix the 'loud' note or part.  The peak is defined by a threshold setting, for example, -1db, so any section that exceeds -1db would be marked.

Currently I do this in real time by watching the bus meter and stop the playback and try to zero in the the area, and play again until I get close the the point.
