With a clean vocal.

No instruments or effects on the song.

Then do stem separation and use only the vocal stem. The online Bandlab stem separation is quite good.

That would give the best midi from the vocal melody.

So what audio to MIDI would u use after separation with the Bandlab tool? Is there 1 in that tool?

I tried Melodyne years ago. Will give it another shot.

I also have tried Samplab but not so good.

Thanks.

What are the best ways to convert audio (vocals) to MIDI? I tried a few with poor results.

Thanks.

Oops, it was above. How embarrassing.

Thanks.

I opened a midi file in Cakewalk, and it plays, but the track looks empty. Why can't I see it?

Thanks.

Sorry for my ineptitude. Am I to right-click on a clip? I see nothing about Clip Properties. Would it be difficult to show in a photo?

Sorry, I can't find where Beats in Clip is.

I have a synthesizer audio clip that I want to create a groove clip. When I do, the dip changes beat, goiing more slowly.

Any idea why?

Thanks.

The track is selected but there is no data in the track in the selected time to delete. Ripple edit was implemented specifically for this problem.

Don't forget to turn it off after.

Thanks much!

Jimlau, reread msmcleod's answer, he told you why and that you'd be better off using ripple edit.

As I said, they were all selected. See photo 2. They are out of order. As you can see, all tracks are selected.

Will look into ripple edit to overcome this software flaw.

Delete hole will only delete a hole in what is selected.   Track 15 has nothing selected, so nothing from it gets deleted.

You're better off turning on ripple edit all, then deleting the selection.

No, all tracks were selected. See the non-arrow photo. I can't see why 1 of the tracks doesn't respond when the others do when all are selected.

I am trying to remove a section in my project. But as shown, when I perform the operation 1 track does not shift left to close the hole.

I selected all tracks, then did the, from now, to til now, to highlight the proper section.

Why does 1 track {red arrow} not shift back like the other tracks?

Thanks.

Is there an audio file in the project folder? Maybe share the project for others to try and investigate. 

Ah-hah! I removed the audio folder, and the clarinet play is gone. There was no audio track when I removed all tracks but 1 piano, yet somehow that clarinet audio was still being played. No idea how that can be. But thanks a bunch!

Open the track manager and see if there’s hidden tracks. Hard to tell by your screen shot. Would be better if you showed the track pane and not the video view or bus pane

There is only 1` track, the piano. No Play synth, which has the clarinet MIDI. No such track, yet it plays.

I have a 30 track project with symphony instruments. When I solo a clarinet track, there were extra notes not there that were playing.  I then deleted all tracks but the clarinet, and yet these extra notes are played.

I then copied and pasted the notes onto a new track, a piano synth, and erased the clarinet track. No more symphony synths. So all I have is 1 piano track. Still, I heard clarinet (or flute?) notes being played (from the symphony synth, even after I erased all instances of that synth). How is this possible? There is no video that could be a source of these notes. What could it possibly be?

I also output the audio to Bus A, then directly to my computer monitor. Same thing.

Thanks.

Double check that the midi note wasn't shifted. Also there are occasions when the note duration is so short that it is not correctly triggered during rendering operations.

No shift, not short. It sometimes plays fine, and only after I play the rendered audio that note is missing. I did a work-around by adding several same notes on top of it and got the result. Just odd. Thanks.

What does "a quick skip of a note" mean?

it skips a drum beat that is in the middle of a sequence of 5.

When I play a track in Cakewalk, things are fine. When I render, there is a quick skip of a note.

I'm using WASAPI and have a high end PC. Never had this issue before. Any general comments on what parameters I can tweak?

Thanks.

Most people only drop the video into cakewalk as a guide to score the music to. Once you have your music track you export it as a wave file and drag it to the original in your video editing software. The quality of the video in Cakewalk is not the greatest. 

I don't use it as a video editor.  I just import a finished video. I don't want the audio to degrade by having it rendered again in a video editor. Would quality suffer if I have to render the audio twice, once in Cakewalk, once in a video editor?

Anyway, it works on 1 of my computers. I guess no 1 knows what I need to download for the codec to work?

Trying to render an audio and video track. The settings I have are in the photo. I am able to render on my new computer, but on my porior 1 I get an error from all the video players I have that there is a codec issue. Any idea why?

I have Windows 10, and the latest Cakewalk version.

My SSD drives that hold instrument sample libraries have changed. When I load Kontakt, it asks me to find the location of library samples. It asks me each time. How can I avoid having to manually direct where the samples are? I don't have this issue with installing libraries,  but I do with instrument that require using the File tab, not the Library tab.

Thanks.

I have a new PC. I installed Cakewalk, and transferred my projects onto the new PC. But, when I go to open a project, I get this error:

"cakewalk could not open this project because the file has been truncated."

any idea what's happening?

On another project, the error reads:  unexpected data chunk (file corrupt)/

Thanks.

Tempo track is here, above the tracks

 

Sorry, I don't follow. Where is the pane where you can draw in tempo changes? It's usually where you see Piano Roll, Console, etc.

@Jimlau A few posts below yours I posted about not being able to save but getting GENERAL ERROR.

https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/31227-when-trying-to-save-a-project-i-get-general-error-which-stops-me-from-saving-no-detail/

Im just adding this here wondering does the workaround I found solve your issue too. Before hitting save, temp turn off the audio engine .. Does it save now?

 

yeah, I saw that tip, but no, didn't work.

So this is not EA release specific, no need to post in that thread

WRT crash reporting in general see 

Should I post the crash dump here, or only to a formal crash report?

Any issues with an Early Access build should be reported in  the appropriate early access thread.

In this case 

"Crash" by itself is not very meaningful.

If there is an error message, this should be reported.

If there is a crash dump, make a mention of it as it may be requested for review.

 

It crashes in the last 2 versions (2021.04, Build 175) and even X3.

There is no error message. Not sure on a dump file. Where would it be?
