I believe you are referring to BandLab's WEB Based music editor, not Cakewalk. Cakewalk is not a "WEB" application. You have to install Cakewalk into your computer. Syphus

Note: I sent a note to support about this issue and asked them to reword the entry for "Snapshot" so that it made it a bit clear that this works on an existing "Automation envelope" For anyone looking to this thread for an answer here it is: IF you what to use "Snapshot", be aware that this works on an "existing" envelope. If you were not intending to automation on the entire track and just wanted to do say one or two measures of (for example volume), do this: Go to the start of the track after you have established you level for the track and do a "Snapshot" at that point. Set you "Now Time" to the point you want a change (for example - measure 10 [ 10:01:00 ]) Set your volume to what you want at this point with the track fader. Do another "Snapshot" at this "Now Time" and all will be done. Remember you can "Undo" all this if it does not fit your needs or work the way you envisioned it. I am marking this as "Solved" and hopefully we will see some kind of update in the documentation. Syphus

It is clear that my method is the "way" to do it. I will search the documentation and see if there is a hint. If I was a total newbie, I would be searching for help because the instructions are somewhat misleading - at this point a minor irritation. I just wanted to see if I missed something . . . Hopefully, this will save someone a few minutes/hours of time by posting. Thanks for your response. Syphus

I was looking in the manual about Snapshot and how it is used. The manual says the following: To create a snapshot of a track or bus parameter 1.Move the parameter control to where you want it. 2.Move the Now Time to the location where you want to create the snapshot. 3.Right-click the control and choose Automation Snapshot in the pop-up menu. You don’t have to write-enable the track or bus module.An indicator will appear on the control to show that automation has been added, and a node will be added to the control's envelope on the track. 4.Make sure the appropriate Automation Read button is enabled, play your project and listen to the results. You can undo the snapshot by using the Undo command, or by taking another snapshot at the same Now Time. So I go to a project, Select an Audio track, move the volume fader to 0 then right-click on the fader an select "Automation Snapshot". Now I have an automation envelope that is sitting at 0 at my selected "Now Time" for the entire select track (per the envelope). Now I RTZ and set my fader to it's correct level and hit play. The volume goes to zero immediately and stays there. This is what happens when I follow the directions above from the manual. In reality, I have to set a "snapshot" at Now Time set to the start (bar 1:0:0) with my selected volume level set for the track average (lets say 0 dbs for now) , then move to my new Now Time where I want to have the volume drop to zero and snapshot it there also. Now everything goes according to plan (sound until I hit second Now Time). Am I missing something or are the directions making an assumption that I was not aware of? Should the documentation explain this better or is it not working the way it is supposed to. Once I figured it out, it seems to be the right way. What do you think - am I doing something wrong per the instructions? Opinions please, or correct me if I'm wrong . . . Thanks for your time. Syphus

Hello - Just a thought: I have exported MP3s with frozen tracks. I think that I only select the track that has the audio on it (not the synth/midi). Perhaps the hangup/failure is that the export is trying to refreeze the track and this causes a hangup in the process . . . IDK if this is true - like I said, just a thought . . . Syphus

Heads up . . . Yes this is an April Fool's thing. I got this email from them and it was obvious what it was - but going to the page is priceless: https://www.presetsforall.com/so/98NYCXQi4/c?w=v84aST2WEa90Sh7HR88QyHqzm0Ucp9P7aUt9HABw7Rw.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucHJlc2V0c2ZvcmFsbC5jb20iLCJyIjoiOGIzYTg4MGMtNzliOC00ZmJlLWU0NzEtNGNmMmFkZTljYTllIiwibSI6Im1haWwiLCJjIjoiNDY5YzA5NzctMTBjMC00M2UzLTk3M2EtNWMyOGRhYWIwYjVkIn0 Syphus

I feel for you - the last thing I want to do is have my fav foods taken away . . . but at least you can look forward to lots of good things in the end . . . Enjoy! Syphus

Once I knew what I was looking for, it was plain as day! Fixed! Thanks @John Vere Syphus

I thought I was doing a "Marker" command but : CTRL+M = Create Melodyne Region FX clip This brought up a window - which I closed, but every time I open the project, I see it loading the Melodyne FX. I want to remove it, but I don't know what it is attached to. Is there a way to clear this? Thanks, Syphus

Full Kontakt 5.8.1 required? (someone had to say it!) Syphus

The MIDI Core The sound Library And EZBass software Syphus

I just installed the presets. Unzipped then placed the presets: C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\Documents\IK Multimedia\AmpliTube 5\Presets\AmpliTube Collections\AmpliTube Joe Satriani\General Just open up AT5 and presets appeared at correct location in preset manager Syphus

Use the Toontrack Product Manager Just did it - Syphus

That's the way it always sounded to me since I was a child . . . Syphus . . .

it would be (Window key + Shift + S) - all three. Just spent 5 minutes trying this and it was not working for me. Had to look it up. it also takes a few seconds to come up ( at least on my system). Just say'n . . . Syphus

Yes it is supported . . . That would have been the first thing support would have informed me. I thank you for checking - you did try to change the "Tube Overdrive" parameters. The presets with the overdrive seem to work correctly. It appears that the exception I am seeing has to do with one of the graphics DLLs in my system. Also if you are checking this using Win 10, your check might be invalid for my purposes. Thanks, Syphus

Could be a bad or dirty mouse . . . Check the mouse for excess dust & blow out the dirt . . . Syphus

Thanks . . .

Tried already - no luck. IK support told me the new version was coming this week and see if that would change anything . It did not. Thanks Syphus

Problem: Trying to access the Satriani "Tube Overdrive" in pedals causes a AT 5 Crash/exception in both standalone and VST3 What I'd like to find out is if anyone else is experiencing this. If I touch the pedal, try to edit the pedal or insert the pedal in to the FX chain, I get a crash. All the other pedals in the collection appear to be stable. Also any presets with the pedal in it appear to be stable until you try to access the edit parameters. I am using Windows 7 OS <--- If you are checking you version (of AT 5) I think this applies only to Win 7) Also, if I try to use the pedal in AT 4 there is no problem. If you are seeing this behavior, could you please let me know. Currently I do have a ticket into IK for this but they are not able to reproduce it - They had me wait for version 5.02 update to see if it "fixed" itself, but it did not. So now I am doing a survey to see if it is local to my system. Thanks for your time . . . Syphus

Update to 5.02 - 1.02 makes it look like an old post . . . Correction: IK Product Manager is now version 1.03 Amplitube is 5.02 Syphus

Hi, I just looked and there does appear to be a VST2 version installed, but it does not show up in my FX list (due to being a VST2 - I think), but does seem to be installed per "Plug-in Manager). Don't have time to mess with it right now . . . You could give it a shot . . . Edit: Sorry, I did not see that you already said that you loaded VST2 with the same problem. Perhaps the new version will help Syphus

I don't have that same problem, but I do have a problem with AT5 (both stand alone and VST). I just bought the Joe Satriani add-on and when ever I touch the "TubeOverDrive" from the collection AT crashes. I am working with IKM support to get it resolved. In cakewalk, once I touch the pedal (click on it or try to insert it into another preset) it results in a "Not Responding" message. If I try to close the AT UI, windows shows a dialog box asking i want to close or wait for the program to respond. Have you tried the VST2 version (I don't know if there is a VST2 DLL yet). I'm going to try mine soon and see what happens (if VST2). You can also look at the event viewer and see if there is any info that will help. I thought this would be a good place to post this. Heads up - Support said that a 5.02 version is coming out next week. Perhaps that will resolve your problem (whenever it does come out) Syphus

ok - just checked on the cakewalk definition: "The new material is merged with any existing material. This means that any existing clips on the track are left unchanged and all newly recorded material is stored in new clips. While recording, you will be able to hear material from existing clips." So I stand corrected as to how "sound-on-sound" works for Cakewalk. But that does not invalidate my previous statements . . . and as mentioned by @RBH, you can use take lanes . . . Syphus

Firstly - you are using a "multi-track" recorder. So why are you not using the software as it is meant to be used? Record your extra notes on a separate track then you won't have this problem. "sound-on-sound" is a technique that was from the old tape era. Once you record over top of already recorded material the previous track and the new recording should be mixed into "one data stream" (or track). You may be lucky enough to be able to "undo" a sound-on-sound recording. I have never used it so perhaps I do not know. The other thing would be to copy the track before you overwrite it with sound on sound. Just my opinion . . . Syphus
