It's a Beyerdynamic ribbon mic with XLR

Thanks...ASIO into a Focusrite Scarlett, the Scarlett mixer shows a level, Cbb meters respond when I tap the mic...i don't know what else to check

I know this isn't much to go on, but I'm getting practically no level from my vocal mic. I tested it in another program and the mic works okay, I've checked routing inputs and outputs and they're okay. I'm getting just the faintest signal recorded. It's probably user error but any suggestions of something I might have overlooked? Thank you!

Thank you!

I'd like to do that also but can't find it in keyboard shortcuts. Do you recall where it was? Thanks.

I used to have it but it would clear up when I disabled plug-ins globally, so I enabled them again one at a time and found it was almost always the same one causing the problem.

Has anyone used Fractal's free DAW plug - Cab Lab? It's a mixer that can load 4 IR's & blend together. just wondering if this is a rabbit hole I don't need to go down. Thanks. https://www.fractalaudio.com/cab-lab-4/

Mike has several old videos on secret tips for Cakewalk, also secret tips for automation. if you haven't seen them, they're real gems if you're willing to put in the time to watch

Thanks!

I've selected auto save every five minutes or five changes in preferences. However in this project and I think it's happened in the past, it's saving about every 30 seconds and it's become disruptive. Any ideas? Thanks

How are we supposed to handle this? Just wait until there's a final notification? I'm in no hurry until it's finally ready.

Andres thank you for being persistent with this. I figured it out, when you go to plugins in the browser there's a little downward facing arrow after the word plugins and then you can choose the layout. That's why it wasn't matching the layout I had saved in the plug-in manager in utilities and I found myself having to go back and forth between category and manufacturer sometimes to find the right one. It's trivial but it's laborious and those little things add up in the long run. Now I haven't even better set up, it's organized by category in the utilities plug-in manager and by manufacturer in the browser layout so I can much more quickly go between the two. Thank you again!

I think yr right Andres but I can't navigate to the same folder in the browser as in the plug-in manager. I follow the same folder tree the plug-in manager uses but it's not there. I think either the file folder is hidden or there may be a way to add the folder, I'll check Scott Garigus' old Sonar book.

Thank you Andres I don't have it in front of me right now but I will check it out.

When I want to insert a plug-in, I have them organized in the plug-in manager either by category. When I right click insert audio fx, sometimes I have to go back and forth between category and type to get the one I want. If I try to drag one in from the browser that seems to be a different set of categories, different from what I've created in the plug-in manager. Is there a way to get those two to be the same? Or to add more plugins to the browser? I'm just trying to find the most efficient way, getting prepared for the new sonar and new inspiration. Thanks

OK will try it next time.

Yes i will do that. This is happening with cwp files. After the crash, when I reopen the project I see the new track template was saved so it's not a big problem. Maybe a computer issue, as you said.

It's with new tracks I've created and want to keep them as a template. It seems like a bug or maybe a computer issue to me. Maybe it will clear up with the new sonar?

Thanks for the responses. I do store them in separate Lanes but I will take a closer look at the cursor options. I want to like this process but so far it's been more troublesome than helpful.

Thanks, I'm doing just as you said. I right clicked to save as a track template and it takes a long time and then the screen gets more and more faint and finally CBB shuts down. When I reopen, the template has been saved and I can insert it with no problem. I repeated this three or four times with the same result each time

very late response - that's what I want to do, I just don't have a good workflow with take lanes. Do you still set the recording mode to comping, or to SOS? I still would like to have separate tracks I can audition but not sure if I can still do that.

update - I'm working with a lot of the ideas here. It crashes each time I create & save a track template. Not sure where to post this, sounds like a bug?

Got it John, thank you. It was bound to another shortcut & I had to change it.

Thanks I didn't know that, I will try it out!

I like the idea of melodyne shortcuts. I assigned both z & x for create & render but I get no response from the x for create. Am I doing something wrong? It shows that x binds to create region fx & I closed & reopened the project but no response. Thanks.
