Never heard of drum replacer? Its a plugin I assume?

I know I've asked this before, but; I use backing tracks from Karaoke Version. Their click track sounds too harsh on ballads so I need a hi hat instead, to follow the click track. Tried doing this live manually as an audio track with my Juno but it wanders and is difficult to correct. I need a simple(!) way of matching the two and then I will mute the original click track. I know helpful posters have shown me ways before but I am USELESS at stuff like this, is there a simple way to do this?

Sorted thanks, dont even know how I did that in the first place!

Tried that didnt work!

As usual a novice question see screenshot. I did nothing Guvnor! But opened up the track and it was all shrank and I've tried everything to no avail. Help please I know its a dumb thing to ask but searching will take forever! I've obviously hit some button by mistake aaagh!

All sorted, thanks all

Thanks seems sensible, I'll also back up online as well as a hard drive

Hi Usually audio files, I do a lot of backing tracks downloaded from Karaoke Version in individual stems, ie drums, bass, vox all on seperate tracks, and edit these down to an MP3 for gigs. Not much midi these days, a little synth or piano which I plug in to my Steinberg UR22 interface from my Juno Keys. So not sophisticated.

Hi all, I'm back after a hiatus due to arthritis in my thumb stopping me playing either piano or guitar; and I was so utterly p***sed off I didn't do anything musical for months, too painful, too upsetting. Anyways, I'm gradually starting to do stuff again and I now realise backup system is not really up to scratch. I recall John ( Cactus Music) had a good video on this but he doesn't support Cakewalk tutorials now ( what did I miss?) So, what's the recommended consensus on backing up? Or is it depending on the poster's opinion? I'm not that technical but...no backup, no mercy as they say! Richie

I tried it yesterday and all seemed ok but thanks for comments and advice.

Great stuff, worked perfectly! Every days a school day with me!

Thanks will try this.

Hi all, I'm working on a backing track, from Abbey Road, so its Mr Mustard Polythene Pam and bathroom Window, which all segue into each other on the album. I use karaoke version stems. But the first 2 songs are ok volume wise at about 14.5 LUFS, and the last bit (bathroom window) leapsin volume to 11LUFS. My problem is how to lower the volume of the last song, without effecting the first 2 as I've made them into one long track for our band. Beyond my limited capabilities I'm afraid! George Martin I'm not! Thoughts?

Yep workspaces set to 0. I've checked the binding and it seems correct, ie press i and get inspector. So I didnt change any bindings it was correct. However, today, this time it works! Dont know why, but for sure I was doing something odd. wont be the first time. No amount of good programming can legislate for my daily ***** ups I'm afraid. Anyway I got there. And yes I'll place a shortcut on my desktop for the manual thanks

Thanks, that sounds helpful, but...CW as usual throws me a googly. This has NEVER EVER happened before but when I press "i" for inspector all that happens is the cursor jumps forward or back. So I went to "view" " inspector" and the same things happen. Aaaagh! I love cakewalk but I also hate it when it does this.
