Quick Math

This is my second oneknob pumper.

First one was also free

Wow, I could learn a lot of new things!

The best tutorial video I've ever watched for Cakewalk!

I usually don't use step sequencer so I didn't know a lot about it...

I am not sure if I need search function for plugin Insert menu in particular, but in general, search function is great for huge lists.

So if the cakewalk UI can handle it, that'd be a great improvement....or is it just Windows UI that can't have search function...?

What I want is for output lists. When I need to assign sidechain, it's tedious to find the one I am looking for, particularly when I have a lot of tracks with sidechain-capable plugins.

There are similar wrapper plugins. 

I've tried to use DDMF metaplugin before but it crashes right after inserting it on Cakewalk. And it's more expensive.

And their EQ (LP10) also crashes on Cakewalk.

I bought Element around an year ago and it properly works on Cakewalk...

I think I have tried to use LP10 on Element and it worked properly.

I do remember it worked on FL wrapper plugin too. The name of the plugin is mini modular host or something but i forgot. It's a free plugin but it's beta and the plugin crashes easily, and not updated for years.

So I think Element is the most stable one that works fine on Cakewalk!

I think Pro channel EQ is good like other say.

CA2A is one of the best LA2A emulators out there.

I don't know if other pro channel comps are that good too as I don't really use them but this one is just amazing.

For synth, Z3TA+2 is my favorite synth but it's no longer available as you can't buy it anymore.

The sound is a bit dirty but I can make interesting sounds with Z3TA+2. I really like it.

I have too many plugins so I also want to know more as I stopped using most of cakewalk plugins.

Legend is $49 and Dune 3 is $99 at Thomann.

I bought Dune 3.

$49 is the cheapest price for Legend.

(I found this on reddit btw)

I have demoed their ECM87 MIC CLONE many months ago, even though I don't have their Gauge ECM-87 microphone.

(I liked it even though I didn't buy it as I don't have the mic.)

And I didn't know there is this plugin, which doesn't require the microphone and can be used for any tracks. 

I thought this was the same product I have tried before where there was no such trouble iirc. 

But this one is probably new and very interesting...

Hi,

I believe search functions for any long lists is a must for modern UI.

Imagine when doing mixing for a huge project with many tracks,  like more than 100 tracks, and you have a search function and scroll bar to look for a right out put.

It would be great!

When I needed to look for an sidechain input, usually, not only there are many tracks and plugins there but also many instances of  same compressor  were  used, it's like they have the same name in random order,  so finding the right one takes more time.

The gif below is a list for New Drum Map.  so It takes time to get the right one.

I know using  an arrow key makes it slightly faster...but as you already know it's nice to have them as we all use it on CbB browser.

like below. I think we all love this. 

For lists other than outputs and drum map, possibly lists for automation for a plugin can be long as well, so I might be great for them too.

This is an example from a different DAW I use, which I felt is so handy

I purchased TE-100! Thanksfor mentioning it.

And PA sent me another email saying I can use the same coupon code again.

I don't know what to buy now. I might go for chop shop but I don't know if I really need it or maybe I might buy something else.

So you have these plugins already installed?

These plugines might be simply excluded from your plugin list.  From plugins manager you can make it show on the list. 

This might help you. 

I also wanted cakewalk to have this.

Imagine when you have more than 80 tracks, and add a new track and move them.

it's quite time consuming, so I'd be really nice to have this feature. Or is there any ways to do this already?

How the automation works and pan are most probably different at least.

So it should be fair to assume it would be possible to improve some parts discussed in his videos.

I was also looking for it recently for my laptop environment because I could not find it in my perchase history on the cakewalk website.

The PC4K Gate/Expander came with Sonar X1 extended edition back then apparently.

It was registered with my different email address so I couldn't download it from my cakewalk store. I probably still have the installer somewhere in my storage and I has serial numbers.

Gotcha.

What screen recorder do you use? I'm actually trying to figure some out right now. I have Captura and LICEcap recording to GIF, but the files are still so large. I can't figure out how to reduce the size without actually just choosing a smaller area of screen to record..... (sorry for off-topic request)

I used this one called recordit.

https://recordit.co/

It automatically uploads the file to the server and you can get the URL for the file after pressing stop button. As it uploads to the server, I have to be careful about what to record though.

(I could delete it later thought)

Just now, winkpain said:

Interesting. Simply clicking on the icon?  I will try next time...

Yeah, like that.

I don't remember how exactly it worked but I believe it minimized the application as you would expect and then I could somehow retrieve the control after clicking the icon again.

I actually did that while screen recording for a gif but discarded the file as I didn't want to show my cluttered desktop.

I too have had this issue on many projects (from before this latest CW version), randomly yet often enough. Going to Task Manager and closing out CW is the only way out.

I will try and reproduce next time it happens.

Clicking CbB icon on your windows Task Bar 

might stop it even without closing the application.

I could stop it by doing that when that issue occurred.

Do you see this in any other project? If it's specific to that one, it'd be helpful if you could upload it. 

@Jonathan Sasor

I tried it on newly created project file, and it wasn't reproducible in that new file.

So probably it's the problem related to that specific project file.

The original project file was actually created a long ago with older version of sonar. It might be X1, X2, or maybe X3.

I am kind re-working on that.

So it might have something to do with that.

The issue was seen on the same project file that I sent to Noel.

I'll send it to you in case.

Thanks!

@mikannohakoWe have fixed this for the next update. Can you share your project so we can verify that it's the same issue?

@Noel Borthwick That's great to hear! I sent a message!

Also I found another issue on the same project.  When I really zoomed further and hit play, it won't stop.

The stop button gets grayed out and space key won't work either.

I am really enjoying new Arranger feature!

However, I encountered a bug.

Some automation on master bus disappears when I move arranger clips..

After spending a lot of time comparing them I ended up picking up both Triad and Byome.
Yes Triad can play Byome patches (and comes with them) but they don't sound the same often not even close, you might say its like comparing cousins as opposed to twins (close genetics but still so different even a stranger could tell them apart). If you're willing to spend the time tweaking Triad you might get something close but it's never right on the money.

I tried them too and they sounded differently.

First I had an expectation that Triad can handle everything that Byome can do, and maybe it can  but the sound was not the same. 

I will probably just get Byome for drums.  And Maybe not this time for Triad.

Sample rate conversion can increase the peak.

Technically SRC is done with a filter internally which is a low pass filter and It's a liner phase filter as far as I remember.

And because of that, the peak slightly shifts as in EQ cut. EQ cut actually may increase the peak, even though It's a cut.

I assume resampling is also the same thing so that's probably why the peak changes.

I've recently purchased Iris 2, thinking it was a good deal...

I've just purchased Acme Opticom XLA-3 Compressor for 9USD with the code.

I already have ssl G and E as well as townhouse,

So I grabbed the comp after listening to some demos.

This one might be underated but I think I'll like it a lot.

I also paid at BS a few days ago and I am waiting, too.

I haven't sent any crossgrade proof yet as I thought they would later ask me to send it in another email. But I haven't received anything other than system message so far.

I am not going to use cubase anytime soon because I don't have e-licenser. And also possibly I could wait for the next version.

Looks nice.

I'll definitely download them.
