    Is there a way to downgrade to the last update?

    in Q&A

    Posted

    You can only go back to a previous version if you had already saved a previous version somewhere.  That is, you will not find an earlier version available for download from BandLab.

    As for your popping sounds, have you checked your projects bit depth and sample rate with that of your interface/sound card?  They should match.

    Kind regards,

    Playing multiple intruments at once

    in Instruments & Effects

    Posted

    Hi Jeff,

    I would create separate tracks for each instrument in Cakewalk and assigning the channel for each track, respectively, to your RD 2000.  Then utilize volume automation for emulating the on/off for the instruments as well as balancing the volume of each when layering as desired.

    Hope I explained that clearly.

    Kind regards,

    Using the TH3 mixer and splitter

    in Instruments & Effects

    Posted

    Hi ron,

    I don't use TH3, but two places I would look at is the output of your effects chain which looks like a single speaker cabinet (unless it is stereo).  Also, is the audio track containing TH3 in mono or stereo?  I have not tested these theories, but I thought either might be a fix.

    Kind regards,

    Running a Saffire pro 24 here on W10 1909 with no issues. I guess it will eventually go the way of the doo doo, but for now still going on strong. 

    Using a TI Chipset based FW interface. 

    Thanks Nicolas.  Good to know.

    According to Focusrite’s  website, their Saffire Firewire interfaces aren’t compatible with Win 10 1903 and they recommend not updating beyond 1809 for this line as they won’t be supporting them going forward.

    Thanks, Blogospherianman.  Appreciate the info.  Eventually we will all have to update Windows.  So goes my Saffire, guess I should hope for a new interface this year.

    Is this a bug (slip edit after fade)?

    Incidentally, I found that I didn't have to first create a fade to reproduce this. I guess it is unexpected that a single click slip-edits the track when clicking with the context menu open whereas it would normally require a click and drag. Workaround (and probably a best practice) is to exit the context menu using the Esc key instead of by clicking.

    Hi David,

    I did go back and tried to reproduce this in various ways, but yeah, you don't need to create a fade.  However, if you were to bring up the context menu you might notice that you would have to be in the proper zone of the clip for the Slip-Edit tool to appear, otherwise if you left-click with the cursor/pointer showing then only the context menu disappears without the slip edit.

    Kind regards,

    P.S.  Using ESC is how I usually dismissed the context menu, but for whatever reason I used the mouse and discovered the anomaly.

    Hello All,

    Is this a bug?

    At the beginning (or end) of a clip, create a fade-in (or out, respectively) with the Edit Tool;

    Right-click in the edited clip to bring up the pop-up menu;

    Finally, Left-click to the right, outside of the pop-up menu so that it disappears.

    Result:  Clip is now slip edited at the point of the Left-click.

    Expected result:  Clip remains the same prior to the Right-click.

    Or is this an intended result?  This does not happen if you just Left-click after creating the fade.  Seems to me to be an undesired result.

    Kind regards,

    tecknot

    P.S. Does not matter if it is a mono or stereo clip

    Track template - for test tracks

    ...So far so good right? Now if I could save all that work as a template to import into a older song that doesn't have this folder  - I could save a TON of work setting up the groups and importing all those tracks...

    Max,

    There is a way to combine an existing project with a Project Template file.  With your older project open, navigate to the Media Browser and then to your template folder (usually found in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates, if not in your Project folder).  Now click, drag and drop your project template into the Clips Pane in the Track View.  The two projects will automatically merge into your existing project (not a new project).

    Hope that helps.

    Kind regards,

    Laptop recommendations for use with Cakewalk

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted · Edited by tecknot

    I recently purchased a Lenovo P72 which has an i7-8750H, three drive bays (two M.2 PCIe and one SATA) and only 16GB of memory.  It also has four USB type A ports with two Thunderbolt ports which is just enough for my peripherals (including my sound cards).  I bought it just a couple of months before the next version was released (the P73) so I got it for $1,630.00 (with just one drive, an M.2), but would have costs me $1330 if I didn't splurge for the 4K monitor/screen.  That 4K was not really necessary and certainly not needed for a DAW, so I made a mistake there.  It is a 17" and a perfect fit for my setup.  This laptop is not bulky like a gamer laptop too.

    The current versions (P53 15" and P73 17") have 9th gen CPUs, better graphic cards, but only three USB type A ports (with two TB ports).  The base prices are $1620 and $1770 respectively. 

    Kind regards,

    Why and How?

    in UI Themes

    Posted

    It's certainly a bug.  If you were to create a new theme from either Mercury or Tungsen you would see that there is no Mute button in that spot.  Checking against not just the size but the original item that should fit in that spot is a totally different set of button states (and nothing like the Mute button).  It's a strange anomaly but probably happened with an update to the Theme Editor (just a guess).

    Kind regards,
