Let's say my song is in 4/4 and I have my grid set to 1/4 notes (or 1/8 or whatever subdivision).
Is there a way for me to have Cakewalk's playhead move ahead by 1/4 note (or 1/8 or whatever) each time I strike a certain key (or click the mouse in a certain place)?
The purpose for this is transcribing songs.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out a song's beat, so I have it loaded as an audio track, I have the tempo matched, and I'm putting the notes that the drummer is playing into the PRV.
It just popped into my head that it would be great if I could make Cakewalk play just 1/4 or 1/8 or 1/16 each time I tapped the key. Otherwise I hear the next note I want, but also a few after that before I can hit the spacebar and rewind. So to be able to set the grid and play just the next beat would be handy. Having a command to back the playhead up by a beat division would be cool, too.
This seems like something Cakewalk would be able to do, and if it's not already, a feature request is on its way.
