Regarding the Opacity of Bandlab and Cakewalk
John Vere replied to MIDInco's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Yes I reported a bunch of them a while ago. I even submitted videos of the crashing. I look at the dump files and it usually says Sonar. I was told to do a fresh re install so I totally obliterated CbBband Sonar from my system and re installed just Sonar. Later after more crashes I re installed CbB by I actually never used it. After the crash Sonar hangs in Task manager for a long time. So does Next which I was also experiencing crashing. One instance was when using the Cakewalk Exchange format. It doesn’t like audio from frozen instruments. They confirmed this and are working on it. They also fix one of the issues I had with Next. Busy people. I haven’t submitted a whole bunch of new crashes as I didn’t have time to deal with it. My concern is that it’s my system and not actually Sonar. But I’ve never had staff get back to me about most of the reports so for now I just move carefully and save ever 3 minutes. Vegas crashes as well and those people are mystified as well. Im really tempted to purchase a new SSD M2 drive and start fresh. I’m also tempted to go back to W10 but that’s stupid. -
What is the mixer? If you don’t have ASIO drivers then overdubs will be out of sync. Only ASIO can calculate your RTL and your DAW will use that to adjust the offset. If you don’t overdub audio then it doesn’t matter but still a USB interface should support at least WASAPI mode. If it doesn’t get rid of it. Lots of mixers come with good ASIO drivers. Zoom, Yamaha, Soundcraft etc. But good pre amps should always be top of the list. Many budget mixers use lower quality pre Amps.

I can make Sonar crash, it’s easy. Leave Ripple edit on and try and drag a audio bass track to Dim Pro! Feature request: Giant Flashing Ripple Edit is on icon! -
Seems the solution is to transfer the project to a dependable brand new state of the art drive. And it is best if that is a drive that is installed in your computer. If this is a laptop you will then need external but one that has top specs and uses USB 3

A lot has changed and I’ll try and PM you a link so you can get the TTS-1 back later today. This is my tutorial playlist that would be worth your time to watch and get up to speed on Cakewalks layout

The old ones by @Morten Saether are still well worth your time.

This is one of your best piece’s I have listened to !! you have that amazing full vocal sound that sounds very professionally recorded. Rich and warm. Here is a few artifacts that I hear you might have missed. 2:00. Something sounds weird in either the bass or the left harmony. Like a not quite right note of the scale. 2:26 a lip smack? Some upper frequency artifacts 2:48 missing bass note? Also 3:14 and 3:40 3:07 time seems to jump, at least the bass does. It does it again at 3:33 or is this a push? Anyhow it sounds odd. 3:44 another lip smack or digital artifact? Otherwise super enjoyable listen ?

I haven’t tried this but a possible work around might be to loop back midi to the synth track. Now add an Aux track Send the synth to the Aux track , put the Aux track in Recording mode and record it. This is the trick I use to record the metronome.

I do believe the step sequencer is just a very basic tool and was designed so you could create simple midi patterns to be used in a track. I use it mostly to make drum patterns. But I’ve also used it to create synth patterns sort of like arpeggios. What I do is create patterns and then bounce to clips. I then use the patterns as normal midi data which I can edit as well as add different effects and things like panning. If it’s drums the panning is done in the instrument GUI. If I want to say, add a sweeping panning to just the hi hat I will automate it.

Trouble importing multiple audio tracks in .mp4 video file
John Vere replied to RexRed's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Not sure what format you are using for the video file. Sonar is very limited in what format it will use. What is a multi track MP4? Didn’t think that’s possible? Normally we use OBS for capture to a MP4 which I thought was only stereo. I’m on my phone camping so can’t check. You then add additional audio tracks in a Video Editing software. My editor Vegas, can have multiple audio tracks and can use all my VST and DX plug ins. So I can use it like a DAW and produce a video with high quality audio. Drag and drop the audio and zoom in to sync it up to the video. I always make sure to use a count in that the camera mike picks up. -
Freezing tracks when the disk is full
John Vere replied to jkoseattle's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Best not to save projects to C drive. Hard drives are very reasonable priced. You open the project and use Save as and put it in the data drive. Make sure you check Copy Audio with project. You should have these projects backed up to a couple of data drives by now. The last place on earth is the global audio folder. That is a sure fire way to get in trouble and loose stuff. -
This has been a long time issue for me and none of the fixes I tried will stay fixed. They will need updating to add Sonar stuff so possibly they can fix this once and for all. @Jesse Jost I believe is our Web Page guru

Adding Sound Forge to utilities Menu on new computer
John Vere replied to Michael Fogarty's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Scook wrote a utility for this I think it’s a thread somewhere in the sub forum for ? I’m on my phone so to lazy to find it. But try a Google search with those words. It’s super simple with his utility -
Yes the Beta 58 is the most common mike on stage. You can eat it and it won’t feedback. And it most certainly takes very loud vocals no problem. A plain SM 58 is fine but if you plug both in and switch back and forth there’s a very noticeable difference in sound. If you are having trouble with plosives roll off below 150 hz. Even the cheap mixers have a hi pass filter.
