Features & Enhancements

For new feature details, see New Features.
Read the detailed 2019.07 Feature Overview

Comping and Take lane enhancements
Freely assemble clips in track lanes either by recording or dragging and dropping from different sources. Configure the Smart Tool to  disable comping features while editing audio on lanes and re-enable it when you are ready to start building a comp track.

Smart Tool customization
The Smart tool can be customized in order to enable specific functions, including Move, Crop, Fade, Draw, and Comp. The Smart tool and Select tool have new icons.

Center Control Bar modules
Control Bar modules can be left-aligned, justified, or centered.

Copy/paste and drag drop enhancements
Copy/paste and drag drop enhancements, including full support for drag and drop of Take lanes between tracks, and improved drag drop preview to visually represent the final data.

Help module content for Clips
In addition to a brief description of the clip type, the Help Module also lists common Smart tool gestures that are supported by each unique clip type.

Selection markers in time ruler
The time ruler now shows draggable markers at either end of the time selection range. You can modify the start or end of the selection by dragging these markers or move the entire time selection by dragging the selection range bar.

Loop and Punch marker enhancements
The time ruler now uses more intuitive mouse cursors for selection, loop, punch and marker drag bars and handles. The mouse cursor shows a letter to indicate which marker will be modified before you actually click the marker: S (Selection), L (Loop), P (Punch), and M (Marker). You can drag a Loop or Punch marker past its paired sibling marker in order to flip the range in the opposite direction.

Show Audio/MIDI Device Change Notifications
Show a message if an audio or MIDI device is connected/disconnected during a session. Cakewalk will offer to add the devices, or reroute outputs to an available device.
