Why do some audio clips have a dotted white border?
msmcleod replied to DallasSteve's question in Q&A
Linked clips? Without seeing them, I can't really say. -
Have you looked at Touch OSC ? https://hexler.net/touchosc

New audio files are created every time you change the audio on your track - e.g. split, re-record etc. These are created so that: 1. You can undo those operations during a session 2. If you use auto-save, the older versions of the track audio is still there for those older versions The safest way to get a "clean" version of your project with only the audio files you need is to use File->Save As , and save your project to a new folder. The new project will only have the files it needs for the project.

Shorten the channel text on narrowed channel strips, please!
msmcleod replied to J. R.'s topic in Feedback Loop
@J. R. - you can change the names of your inputs by giving them friendly names in preferences, e.g: Use the | character to separate the odd / even channels. -
Update Requires Focusrite Driver Re-Install Every Time
msmcleod replied to John Ritter's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Whenever I've had distorted sound with focusrite drivers, it's been because Windows is using the focusrite at 48Khz and CbB is using it at 44.1Khz. If they're both set to the same, there's no issues. Mostly though, I try to have Windows use a different sound device instead, like my onboard device or my USB headset. -

Question About CPU load among DAWS
msmcleod replied to Stephen Rybacki's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
That reminds me of my first job as an intern doing the mainframe backup.... I spent every Friday feeding 5 huge tape machines one by one with 200 tapes. Shortly after I left, they replaced the lot with two DAT drives. -
Sorry to hear that @Wookiee - if you're comfortable with a soldering iron, you might want to open it up and check the capacitors on the power supply. If any of them are swollen, or burst they should be easy enough to replace for less than £5 - £10. I've had to do this with two of my monitors.

Inserting "Track Template" into Track Folder?
msmcleod replied to Syphus's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
@Syphus - until we support sub-folders, this won't be possible as track templates could themselves contain folders . In the meantime you'll need insert the track template as normal, then move the tracks into a folder manually. -
[Feature Request] http GET/POST request ability
msmcleod replied to István Máté's topic in Feedback Loop
You'd be better off going to eLance and getting someone to write you a small app that listens on a MIDI port and fires off HTTP requests in response to MIDI notes. You'd then just sequence the notes that match up with your marker numbers in Cakewalk, making sure the MIDI output port is the one the app is listening on. -
feature request Normalize clips and exported audio files to RMS/LUFS
msmcleod replied to Jyri T.'s topic in Feedback Loop
One thing to bear in mind when using Process->Normalize / ALT + SHIFT + N, is that you should consider apply trimming or bounce to clip(s) to each clip individually before normalizing it. The reason being, is that when a clip is split or slip-edited, the remaining parts of the clip are still there even though hidden, and will be included in what is being considered when normalizing. This is especially true for split clip, where you've actually got two copies of the entire clip when it's split. Of course, after apply trimming or bounce to clip(s), you won't be able to slip edit the hidden parts back in any more. -
sending midi messages to arduino uno over usb serial
msmcleod replied to Nicholas's topic in Instruments & Effects
I've done it, and to be honest I'd advise against using the Arduino to receive MIDI - it's fine at sending MIDI, but I found it's too slow / memory is too small to receive stuff. I constantly got buffer overflows, and when I protected against that, it just ended up losing MIDI data. You'd be better off using a Raspberry Pi zero. The price is comparable, but the difference in speed and memory is massive. It's also way easier to program, and you've several options of languages. -

CAL was last supported in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, and deprecated when SONAR 1 came out in 2002 ( not to be confused with SONAR X1 ). It's not discontinued, just no longer maintained.

I seriously doubt it's that sinister. With it being AI based, it's far more likely that they need more data to continually improve their learning algorithm. There's only so much data you can cook up yourself to train these models.

Question About CPU load among DAWS
msmcleod replied to Stephen Rybacki's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
+1 to this processor - I use this as well, although I'm just using the on board graphics with 2 x 1080P monitors and 16GB RAM. One thing I would say though, is I didn't notice a huge difference in performance between the i5 3570 and the i7 3770 - probably only around 15% difference. But pricewise, the i5 is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the i7. -
Another way of doing this is just to pick the left only input on your track: The advantage of this, is that it will record as mono, but you can leave your interleave as stereo so you can add stereo effects on to it if needed.

Seems to be back up with a new SSL cert.

It's worth re-iterating that some plugins don't support up-sampling, particularly bridged 32 bit ones. Also some plugins might sound different - for example the rate / depth in TH3/THU's chorus pedal goes at half the speed when running at either X2 or when my audio i/f is set to 96KHz. I must get around to reporting this to Overloud.

Message " Cannot Find or open File"
msmcleod replied to Александр Кулаев's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
It could also be your Anti-virus or a cloud-sync app accessing the file at the same time. Make sure your Cakewalk projects directory is excluded from any of these. For cloud backup, I use a couple of batch files to copy my project files to/from a different drive which my cloud app syncs from. That way it's not trying to sync stuff while I'm in the middle of editing or recording. I can choose when to run the batch files to sync to the cloud. -
The "Not enough memory available" error means the device is already open by another application. Make sure Cakewalk isn't running when you install the Softube software.

How to view Arranger section start/length properties?
msmcleod replied to DallasSteve's question in Q&A
-
This is just down to how the preview is currently implemented. It's to be expected, especially with larger ASIO buffer sizes. The larger the buffer size, the more apparent the jump between sections. The effect is hardly noticeable at a buffer size of 64. We've had various internal discussions as to how to improve this, including essentially doing what you're doing (i.e. creating a temporary commit in the background), but this might take a significant amount of time depending on the project size, machine speed etc.

Chord Track is still on our to-do list, but I'd be surprised if it didn't follow a similar theme to the Arranger.
