micv

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.

fun topic but what is the definition or assumption of old/new school?

update - the Record option works out well. However for clips already recorded without group, I can't find any easy way, I had to select the each clip and group them manually.

looks like the Preferences > Project - Record setting may do the trick and using folder, as I don't want all clips start at the same time, just the tracks of an instrument so folder makes sense. Also if quick group mean what I do in one track will be done on the other, (select one clip will select the other clips that has the same clip name) then it could work too. will give these a try. thx

the scenario is I record an instrument with multiple microphones, each mic is recorded onto an audio track. Is there a way to select all the related clips to, say, mute them to do another take during tracking, or during edit to cut, split, shorten, etc?

thanks, I'll look into it. Do folks that load songs here copyrighted their works?

Not sure if this is the right forum but what is the process to get your song copyrighted?

ThreadSchedulingModel already at 2, change to other values doesn't have any affect. I know how a samples buffer or cpu spike 'noises' sound like in my environment, been there more than a few times. This noise is more like an overdrive or over loading the vst, but the meter and sound level are normal. It occurs at any volume/gain level thus reducing the gain was the 1st thing I tried. In the analog world it's like setting (mis-matched) the headroom level when you connecting two devices. I need to test more instruments from other vendors

Lynx Hilo. but I'm certain it isn't the hw or lynx asio. I've used it for years. I noticed issues with midi and vst with releases late late year, suppose to be fixed, may be not entirely.

I've just first noticed this issue, that vst instrument when play at a high level will introduce crackings noises. Thinking of overloading, I checked and played with the gain. Interestingly, doesn't matter if the gain is lowered when the signal output signal is around -11dbfs it will crackles. ASIO setting is in the 1048 samples or higher so it's not the buffer. The vst I used is Arturia Collection V but I also tested with Kontakt. Noticeable with thick strings or synth pad, not so much with percussive instruments. Does not have any crackles issue when in standalone. In standalone I can crank the volume all the way to the redline but in Sonar, it will crackles way lower. Audio tracks are fine. Strange, I have never seen this. Also during my troubleshooting, when I move a midi note (nudge) while the instrument is being played, it will pop and crackle

but wait, why wouldn't it work on a mono interleave track? You can pan a mono track why not a mono clip of a mono track?

Good point on a mono FX. I'll check next time I'm in the studio.

although I can use Track's pan fine, I noticed that clip pan simply doesn't pan at all. Does the track pan has anything to do with it? I would think that clip pan would override the track pan.

that works for average tempo. thx Interesting how it also gives other tempo in the drop down list, not sure what they are, and as you warned, double tempo.

would be great if it shows where the tempo change as well

I can't seem to find where the 'Set the Edit Filter to Transients" is.

In CbB is there a way to get the tempo of an imported audio file? or is there a tool out there for this?

thanks. I'll play around with this a bit more.

when you change the time/measure from , say, 4/4 to 3/4, is there a way to automatically move the midi notes so they would lined up? Given that the notes in the last beat would have to be deleted to fit.

I think I got it now, I didn't understand instrument tracks as I've never used it. Then inst track is really design for live playing or record softsynth straight to audio and not the midi note, correct? So if I want to program or record midi notes (piano roll) for each track, I need to split the inst track to expose the midi track, correct?

hmm, I still don't quite get it yet. For testing when I added Kontakt it created 4 instruments tracks but no midi track at all. When i do the split Instrument track option, one midi track is created with the 4 inst tracks. From the description I would expect 4 midi tracks each assigned to an inst tracks.

What's the different between the new "Instrument Track Per Audio Output" and the Insert Softsynth Option - All Synth Audio Output?

You guys are the best. This forum is the main reason I stay with Cakewalk for so long. thanks

Never knew where the 2x really apply until now. If I could sum up from a usage perspective: - No real benefit if export a project recorded at a lower rate to a higher resolution, since the project is processed at the low rate. - For plug-in that produces harmonic (distortion or saturation type plugs), higher resolution will reduce the anti-alias or artifacts that got 'bounced back' into the hearing range. To improve this, use Cakewalk "2x" button AND the plug-in options "Upsample on Playback - Upsample on Render". - To mix an entire project at a higher resolution, have to create a new project at the higher rate and import the individual tracks in.
