My current project has a very high track count, doing that one by one is not doable.

Colin, but you can't change the waveforms, like many of us did out of habit. I know most of you guys are used to the dark on dark waveforms, but a lot of us it's difficult to look at, and more importantly edit for long periods. I know I've said it several times, but judging from what I've seen and the last update regarding the extension of CBB for a little while, I'm not the only one with this issue.

Great news, glad it worked for you Frank.

Hey fellas, Just saw your sidebar on tinnitus and I had remembered reading something about treatment that's been approved, hopefully some of you find it useful. https://cse.umn.edu/bme/news/new-tinnitus-treatment-receives-fda-approval

No worries

Did you see the title of my post?

yes, I've heard of them, but that's not what I meant. I didn't mean for you to get a 3rd party iso. I know a lot of people use it, but it's not official and you don't know what it can do to your system. Try this video, see if it helps.

Hey Jonesy, yes, but I always find the space for notes on the tracks limiting. Where as with a note plugin I can resize it however I like, and copy paste the plug to similar groupings that might share settings. I know it's not how everyone works, it's just how I do it. I only posted this cause I remembered recommending the older app to a few people a couple of times on here, and maybe they were having similar issues without knowing why.

I'm not sure. I work off-line, and it seems to be functioning like my other note plugin. I used to use windows note pad too, but once my projects started getting more complicated, I needed a way to write notes on individual tracks in order to keep myself organized.

I've seen that one, but I didn't want to get their bundle, but if you're into the melda products, that's a great option.

YW... BTW, your rig is more than powerful enough to run windows 11. I personally don't think you need to upgrade. I'd only upgrade if I absolutely had to. Good luck!

Both my rigs (in my signature) aren't compatible with windows 11 and I've been running it on both since it came out. Windows will allow you to install, you just have to google how. Edit: I realized I was a bit vague. Windows won't let you install from the automatic update route, but there is a windows iso that you can download direct which will let you, you have to google that though, it's been a while and I don't remember the correct one.

Hey guys, just wanted to share a quick experience I had in case anyone else uses this plugin. I've used (and recommended on here), vst notepad for years. I pretty much can't do projects without it, as sometimes my projects can get big. So this weekend I was working on a song with 86 tracks, which on my system isn't too bad, and it kept hanging and bogging down on me. I was pushing through it, when I went to write a note down and the track hung for like a minute. For whatever reason, I thought to disable just my notepad plugs, and my track was back to being speedy. Vst notepad is vst2, and normally that wouldn't be an issue for me, cause cakewalk has a built in wrapper for those, but because it was acting up, I used jbridge on them, and still, they'd hang. So I went and found a vst3 notepad app from major decibel simply called notes. I'm not affiliated with them at all, but the app is free up to 200 characters, but it's only 1.99, so it's not too bad an investment. It immediately improved the feel and speed of my sessions when I swapped out the old note plug for this one. So all that said, for anyone who ever took me up on recommending vst notepad and has felt like their projects have slowed down for some reason, it might just be the note app.

I'm not sure if anyone's asked this already, but how old is your OS drive? Is your OS on an SSD or HDD? If on SSD, they tend to start slowing down when the life of the drive is nearing it's end, but also when it is near capacity. On the HDD front, damage to the platter might slow system writes and reads before it fails. Just something to think about, only you'd know how your system is set up.

I never export from the export dialogue or menu. I bounce down inside my projects until I'm happy with a mix, then I just drag the file to whatever folder the final master will live in.
