    When you read these ideas you realize how we all have such totally different workflows. I hate it when I start working on what started as a pure midi file and find out the default setting of comping is turned on. All my templates are Overdub mode. Just now that happened to me and when I opened PRV to edit my 10 th and final take only to find PRV a total mess of notes! All 10 takes were there stacked up. It was easy to open the lanes and delete all but take 10. But it super annoying to me that the default is this instead of Overdub like most DAWs. Funny Cakewalk Next default is Overdub.

    not sure, but not an issue for me. when i open the PRV i see all the MIDI on the track regardless of number of clips or takes on that track. so it's later that if i know i'm going to copy the MIDI onto another track, i'll select the clips, bounce to clip (almost instant) and continue.

    Yeah, what John said. I upgraded to Melodyne Studio several years ago, and I don't regret a cent of it. Best money I've ever spent at the DAW Thing. The ability to work with multiple tracks simultaneously is so critical. I use it on everything I actually record, both vocals and guitars. (Everything else I do in PRV.) Vocals: adjusting lead vocals, and tightening up timing and fixing (or creating new) harmonies. (You can get away with a lot on backing vocal tracks.) Guitars: tightening up timing on multi-guitar rhythm tracks and leads, cutting out any noise between 'chugs', and occasionally tweaking a lead note. I record guitars dry and do the amp sim in-the-box, so even if any artifacts are introduced, they get crushed by the distortion applied afterwards.

    I used to do what you are doing. I don’t look at the meter I use the peak and hold numbers. I worked in small sections which more or less are one line of the lyrics. I have the G shortcut key to open the Gain dialogue. I would drag over the quiet parts and add a few db of gain. Play the part and observe the meter peaks. It was more of a visual editing process looking at the waveform to find quiet parts as well as listening to understanding the lyrics in the mix. When done I would print the track by exporting it, then I learned about bouncing to clip. This was a lot of work! Now it’s easy. I discovered a levelling tool in Melodyne which is brilliant and became part of my new workflow. It has 2 sliders one to bring up quiet parts and then one to lower the loud parts. It’s percentage based and I’m using around 70% on each. The results are I can toss the compressor and limiter in the trash bin. Well. I still use them as watchdogs. Im not sure at what version level of Melodyne this is included as I had it in the Editor version and I just upgraded to Studio. It’s on sale for a few more days if you need to upgrade. Best $99 I ever spent. And now I can work on harmonies all in one view. So all the tools you need to work on vocals are right there just like you’re working with midi in PRV. If used correctly there’s no noticeable artifacts.

    In PRV, holding the Alt key invokes the Scissor (note lower half) & Eraser (note upper half) tool cursor which are used when Left-clicking. However, holding the Alt key when Right-clicking Moves/Copies notes between tracks in PRV, but still uses the same cursors which is confusing because you're not sure what's going to happen next. Is this unavoidable because of the Alt key?

    When 2 clips are linked, any changes made to one automatically changes the other so you don't have to edit them separately. In PRV I often want to edit a series of notes in a linked clip, so I right-click lasso them, then copy & paste to a new location. At the new pasted location is where adjacent notes will disappear for no reason. Lasso selection is what causes this. Not sure if that's intended. Obviously single notes in linked clips don't need to be lassoed. But lassoing several notes is much faster than Shift+click selecting them individually.

    It doesn't work if auto-focus is enabled in the PRV.
  8. sjoens
    Right. There are times when it works as intended and then moments when it doesn't. Usually after a long session of editing. The full length clip thing happens sporadically at will. I could blame it on my version of Windows, but these issues have been with me forever. I prefer working full screen but may try splitting TV and PRV so switching is faster.
  9. David Baay
    You need to start by ensuring both tracks are enabled for editing in the PRV by swiping or Ctrl+clicking their track numbers in the PRV tracks pane . The first track you click will get focus (track name and number highlighted white) and be the target of a paste. You can change the focus by clicking a different track's name in the PRV tracks pane but you need to leave the track nmbers selected so both source and target tracks are showing. I'm not sure about the full-length clip; that may be related to the state of the Non-Destructive MIDI Editing option, but I can't say I've ever run into that. All that said, I generally prefer to do track-to-track or lane-to-lane moves in the Track View because it's easier to control and confirm exactly what you're getting.

    May have mentioned these in the past but these 2 issues have persisted for years thru every version of Sonar/CbB. I don't change any settings and they seem to happen at will. Using Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V 1. Sometimes pasted notes don't go to the intended track. They (1) end up on another track, or (2) disappear completely even tho "Undo Paste" is in the Edit list. Normally I can select the target track with the PRV Track list, but not always. When that fails, sometimes I have to switch to Track View and Select & Focus the intended track for it to paste there. Sometimes even this does not work and the note simply doesn't paste. 2. Pasted note clips should only be as long as the notes themselves but about 50% of the time they will paste with a new full length clip. Is this intended behavior?

    I wasn't clear (and was using incorrect terminology - sorry) about having multiple windows open (Tracks, PRV, Staff, etc.). I should have said "instances". While Console, PRV, Staff, etc. can all be open/undocked/viewed at the same time, what I was trying to convey was that it would be great to be able to open multiple instances of any/all of those windows. Examples would be 2 or more instances of the Console (1 with Tracks 1-12, another with Tracks 13-25, another with just buses, etc. - like in my original post). Or maybe multiple instances of the Staff view (one with piano, one with bass, etc.) - so, if you have the screen real estate, you don't have to toggle between them. Multiple Console windows would probably be most useful to me, but multiples of the others would probably be useful to others as well. Sorry to all that I did not explain clearly/correctly - my fault - still learning... :^)
  12. SloHand Solo
    Yeah, it's a bit confusing. Especially when you have a filter on the PRV, and then you change what's visible on the Track View it breaks the filter and you have to run the filter again. But that's besides the point. I think you and I have both demonstrated that the current setup is confusing and isn't even working the way it was initially intended. What would make so much more sense would be to have the Track Manager be consistent and handle the visibility of all of the windows containing tracks, instead of having it work one way for two windows, then another (confusing) way on another window.

    The PRV has it's own filter button. AFAIK this is essentially a separate feature to the Track Manager, although it should respect the existing hidden status. It's not really about keeping the PRV in sync - it's a different beast to the Track View / Console View, as it's already filtering out audio tracks / aux tracks / buses - what it should be doing is applying its filter on top of the currently visible tracks. What isn't clear is what takes precedence... it seems to be taking it's cue from the Tracks View, which makes sense. But if the track is hidden in the Console View, but not hidden in the Tracks View should the track still be visible in the PRV? You may of course be just seeing a bug in the PRV filter in CbB. The Track Manager button required a bunch of reworking of the code behind the scenes - some of it got backported to CbB as it did fix some bugs, but it didn't get everything because the feature itself isn't there.
  14. SloHand Solo
    I don't know if access to the Track Manager was an issue, as H and Shift+H work great (haven't tried it from the console yet tho). If the button could be added to the PRV as well, then that would be awesome!! And to keep everyone happy, a flag/checkbox could be added to give the user the choice of keeping the prv in sync, just like the option to keep the console in sync.
  15. SloHand Solo
    Okay, but one of the main things needed, but wasn't mentioned, is keeping the PRV track visibility in sync with the Track Manager/Track View and console tracks. It makes no sense to me to show a different set of tracks in the Track View and Console than the PRV.
  16. msmcleod
    FYI - the new Sonar has a new Track Manager button on both the Track View and Console View, which: 1. Allows quick access to your per-project Track Manager presets - i.e. they're listed in a drop-down menu 2. Can toggle the hidden state of all tracks 3. Gives a clear indicator as to whether any tracks are hidden 4. Allows you to quickly toggle the TV/CV sync state without having to open the track manager We can take a look at the PRV anomalies - it sounds like there's some weird conflict going on between PRV filters and the track hidden state. A more enhanced version of the Track Manager is likely on the cards at some point in the future - we started initial discussions, but has not been fully designed or scheduled yet.

    I'm just going to summarize what is actually being requested from the previous post about this topic. Currently, the Track Manager does a minimal job of handling the tracks and is in need of major improvements. The Track Manager doesn't keep the PRV in sync with it like the Console when the flag is checked If a track or folder is added, removed, or moved, all of the user-defined presets are ruined in the Track Manager Along with the Track Manager presets being ruined, the saved presets in the Piano Roll View are also wrecked Requests: Build functionality in the Track Manager to keep the Piano Roll View's displayed tracks in sync with the Track View and Console Link the Track Manager's list of tracks and folders to their unique ID in the Track View, instead of their row position, which is how it's currently set up. This would prevent the saved filters from being wrecked when a track or folder is added, moved, or deleted. This would also retain the visibility flag of the tracks and folders if moved Add a search function to the Track Manager to create customized sets of visible tracks and filters from the results Add functionality to the Track Manager to be able to drag tracks and folders around to rearrange the order Allow the Track Manager window to be dockable to the side, and/or to the Track Inspector window's tabs
  18. SloHand Solo
    Let me clarify something in my last response. If a row or folder is added. removed, or moved, the filters fall apart on the PRV and Track View (and ultimately the Console if it's in sync with the Track View).
  19. SloHand Solo
    The track manager doesn't keep the PRV in sync with the track view and anytime a track or folder is added, all of the user-defined filters get mangled! All of them! Because it doesn't keep the PRV in sync with the track view, I have to run two of the same filters, one on the track view and one on the PRV, in order to work with the same subset of tracks. Adding a folder or track also destroys all of the user-defined filters on the PRV as well. A search engine would be useful.
  20. SloHand Solo
    I gave this some more thought, and here's what I think would work really well. I'm going to describe this as a programmer, so if anything's unclear, I'll follow up with some graphics and explanations. Forget the Screen Sets. Instead, in the Inspector Window add another tab called, "Navigator" or similar. The tab would show the hierarchy of the Track View in a treeview. The Navigator treeview would allow the user to select individual tracks and folders to hide or display. The Track View, PRV, and Console should all sync up to this Navigator. I would also want a search engine, so I could search the whole treeview for tracks with labels containing "strings", for example, and select the tracks I want in the results (or all), then have the option to save that selection as a user-defined filter, which there should be no limit of. Tracks would appear in folders, only if that track's folder had been selected in the Navigator treeview as well. What this would allow is a streamlined display of a certain instrument from many running synth libraries without the folders getting in the way. To be even more robust, maybe the Navigator window would allow for dragging tracks around and changing the structure of the Track View. As far as the Screen Sets, they would work the way they're supposed to right now, with changing the display layout. What I've been trying to do is use screen sets to only show the tracks I want, instead of having to select a filter I created in the PRV and Track View to keep them synced up. It doesn't work. If anything's unclear, or if you have a question about how to approach certain challenges, LMK..The better you make CbB, the better it is for me.
  21. SloHand Solo
    I I really like the UW, and am really happy with it, despite having to come up with a different method of filtering tracks. The monitor doesn't have the built-in split display, which I've also seen. Windows handles the docking, What i ended up doing is creating an organized list of filtered tracks in the track view and the prv. I just have to apply the filter to both windows to manually keep them in sync. But I really like using screen sets. It's a very convenient method of switching views, using the number keys as hotkeys.

    Workspaces will save the status of the HW bus layout including narrow/wide, mute, link, and levels. I do it all the time, as I switch between nearfields, headphones, far fields, and surround systems just by changing the Master bus output to HW, and toggling the HW mutes. I have my Workspaces set to put the PRV on one monitor, Console on another, Video/Big Time on a third, in addition to TrackView/Main on a fourth. It's been this way for ages. Try it.

    Pitch bending works in SI Bass very nicely. But when I apply it to SI Strings I get some pretty weird results making it almost unusable. It seems to have more trouble with pitch bends than other softsynths. I've tried PRV cc wheel events and automation envelopes triggering the Strings "Tune" function, but they all result in some pretty weird behavior. I don't know if it's the DAW or the plugin, but Cakewalk/Sonar often tries to end a pitch bend earlier than it should. My workaround is to extend the OFF cc beyond the end of the note or cut the note short. For SI Strings it's a distance from 1:090 to 2:000 using 120 ppq. This doesn't work when another note comes immediately afterward. Workaround here is to create a 2nd track with 2nd synth so bending notes don't affect flat notes. Anyone else experience this ???
  24. SloHand Solo
    I was thinking it'd be nice to be able to group tabs together and have them in their own individual Multitab window, which could be named, opened, saved and removed from a Multitab Window Manager. Say, for instance, I wanted all my Synth tabs in one window, guitars in another, PRV and console with a group of specific VSTs in another, etc...Tabs would be able to exist in more than one Multidock, which would allow for a lot of combinations of groupings. Just thought I'd throw that out there and see if anyone else thinks this would be a really useful feature to have
  25. msmcleod
    This is correct. Articulations are owned by the track, not by the clip. In this respect, they have much in common with Track Envelopes. To copy/paste they must either be explicitly selected in the PRV, or if you're dealing with whole clips you have "Select Track Articulations with Clips" checked in the Track View options menu.
