That should not happen, when you exit Cakewalk, the project file should no longer exist.

I use an SM 58 as well, but typically only live. In the studio... one needs to create a slightly different sound, one that even high quality dynamic microphones just cant cut it. So I use a condenser mic for 95 percent of vocals (along with a high quality pre amp). My first choice is the most realistic one of course...and that's "what I own" (a Rode NTK and a Rode NT1000)

I'll post my real ones in a bit.

You guys are show offs Here my state of the art studio And my new micro phone

possibly some of these PC's are using an older version of Cakewalk By Bandlab ? I know Pow-3 was not included in earlier versions, possibly this is what's happening here. POW-R Dithering is owned by the POW-R Consortium and it needs a license to be used in Cakewalk, Bandlab made a choice to not include some of these add on's that required licenses in the early stages (and with good reason, they were more focused on resurrecting Sonar). http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3746538

I can see not everyone reads previous posts before commenting

Ya there's no getting around this one. Good feature request though. I sniffed around this a bit and the only work around I could come up with is Screensets. They will save the state of the track in expanded/collapsed views. - Using Screenset 5 collapse tracks 1 and 2. - Using Screenset 6 expand tracks 1 and 2. - Toggle between Screenset 5 and 6 using the numbers (top row 1-9) on your keyboard Its raw, but if your working with groups of tracks it might be a band aid solution. I also thought about the possibility of using a control group, but expand tracks is NOT included. Note- I mentioned using Screensets 5 and 6 but only as an example (Though I would personally keep 1-4 open for views= PRV, Console, Exc).

Im not sure if this still works or not but I do seem to remember someone suggesting to - Try logging out and then back in again of the Bandlab Assistant.

I believe this is the reason they created Auto zoom (Click the Track view Views menu and select Auto Zoom). Though I must admit, I never found a good use for it.. because most times I want more than one track expanded. I don't believe there is any shortcuts to expand tracks. I could be wrong but I've never come across them.

Are you using the Focusrite 212 ASIO driver ? That could be part of the pan issue as well if monitoring is not being sent through I/O's correctly.

The reason it is greyed out is because you need to have both projects open in order to import screensets. 1- Open project you have created your screensets in. 2- Open new project. 3- In new project use the import screensets function. As mentioned earlier, its almost easier to just make a project template with all your saved screensets because they are indeed saved with project templates. Lenses is also a more in-depth feature for this use. as well.

Simple mistake when first diving into digital audio. The gain is always set by the Audio interface itself not Cakewalk.

Not sure what that has to do with the subject but this screenshot was taken while doing a test on plug in load balancing.

That's the way it worked on the old forums (cant delete posts). Just edit the post and leave the tag "Removed". Its basically the same thing. The problem with deleting posts is it leads to confusing and dysfunctional conversations where one can get lost very easily when comments are missing.

You can also try disabling Plug in load balancing in preferences. Ive done it from time to time.

That whole 1st album was just great. Every member just seemed to separate themselves with their own distinct sound. Especially one of my favorite guitarists, Elliot Easton.

I know what your talking about. I have my timeline set to defaults but my Markers are set to Light Blue as seen in the photo below. I believe there is a way to change the timeline MBT colors in preferences (Not Theme related). I just haven't searched for it, only my Markers But my guess is its there (in preferences).

Being from Boston I watched this band go from having their Demo songs on WBCN to world wide success in a matter of months. This performance of "Just what I needed" was a complete mind blower for me as I thought the cars were traveling in the wrong direction with Heartbeat city. Sure it was a commercial success but not like their early albums which had strong Punk and Rock influences. Their first 2 songs at live aid (You might think and Drive) were a Yawn. But when I watched the performance of "Just what I needed" I was floored. And it still holds up till this day.

Sounds to me like the Import Activation Response for offline use. If your installing Sonar to the same PC than you can reuse these Import Activation Response files for offline use of Sonar Platinum.

+1 to what scook said. Ripple editing replaced "Delete hole"

If you deleted all your tracks at the end of a session (exited the project)) than no.... The project is no longer with us. However if you have a saved a working project / or have saved points to fall back on than you're good. Because the audio remains in the folder (unless you use the Clean audio function).

Just opinions that's all. We are all entitled to our own as far as im concerned (within reason anyway). I totally get what Starship Krupa is saying and I agree with him (a little lengthy yes )... But I also agree with your concerns. but its one of those things where.. you either take the chance or you don't. Your either willing to enjoy it and have fun or use something else. See in my case, I didn't buy another DAW when Gibson went under, instead I focused on finishing up the material I had within Sonar and then I would learn a new DAW when finished(I bought Studio one). I loaded it up and have opened it.. But I only intended to do serious work in Studio one if Cakewalk by Bandlab gave me any lip. So far she's been a good girl. How long will it be free ? Im not worrying about that just like im not worrying about what I will do when my free car dies. Totally see your points though. I felt just like you did a year ago.

if I may ask are you using 1 limiter or 2 ? I typically use 1 (sometimes a multiband compressor/limiter) to tame the edges and then use another 1 to slam it right up in the face. I master to -0.2 dbfs. I used the K system for ever until I learned about the LUFS standard (loudness units relative to full scale). I have found over the years that mastering is more of a science than an art form. Its about calculations and numbers. Sure there are those times we are able to be creative but for the most part its about adding the correct ingredients to the correct meal. You're not only preparing the food... you are serving it too.

Its your great idea too. I got the idea from reading your comment. ^^ This is a great idea.

Maybe be a good idea to make the Q and A The place to put stickies. Like frequently asked questions
