Can't you just set the filename to something other than {projectname} ? You can set the filename to anything you like. There's nothing forcing you use the tags, and actually with the workflow you've described, they won't help you ( unless of course, you're updating the browser notes, in which case you could use {notesname} instead). Also, you can use the "..." button next to the filename to specify both the filename an path at the same time. It will remember the path for the remainder of your session.

@Steven Lewis - if you really need to use ASIO4ALL, just hit No at the warning prompt and it'll use it and not bother you again. ASIO4ALL was being used by new users despite having a native ASIO driver installed. As ASIO4ALL is simply a wrapper for the WDM drivers, this was leading to sub-optimal performance. In most cases WASAPI will perform far better, or better still, use the native ASIO driver if there is one. If you've a very old audio interface, or you're using an advanced configuration for streaming, there might be a legitimate reason for using ASIO4ALL. In this case, just hit No at the warning prompt.

There could be various reasons for this: 1. A fault in your keyboard ( FWIW, I recently had to replace my Korg microKEY2 61 with exactly this problem on several keys) 2. The velocity curve configuration in your keyboard ( if it allows you to modify this ) 3. The VSTi instrument itself, e.g: - Some VSTi's have their own configuration for velocity curves. Check to see if you can change this. - Some sample based VSTi's have a limited number of samples, maybe as small as 4 samples per key. It may be that the VSTi just doesn't have a quieter sound for that velocity ( you can check this by editing the notes directly in the PRV to see if you can lower the velocity there) - Some VSTi's don't respond to velocity at all ( e.g. organs ). I would start by trying to do a factory reset of your keyboard. Most keyboards have some key combination you have to press when powering it up to reset it. Consult your keyboard's user guide, the manufacturer's website, and/or do a Google/YouTube search. Once you've done this, start recording some quiet MIDI notes in Cakewalk, and view them in the Events View and check the velocity of the notes recorded. Cakewalk doesn't modify velocity information as it comes in, so if it's stuck at a certain level, it's likely a hardware issue with your controller. If the lower velocities are showing up in the Events View, then the problem lies with the VSTi.

There are two differences: 1. CA2A is a VST that can be used in any DAW, whereas PC2A is pro-channel only 2. CA2A has a sidechain input, PC2A doesn't.

@gmp - You could try this: 1. SHIFT + double click the clip to zoom the track to full screen 2. ALT + Z to return to the previous view In fact you can use ALT + Z to work your way back through the history of all your zoom steps, SHIFT + ALT + Z will go forward through your history of zoom steps.

You can add text events using the Events View.

Grid / Snap Alignment Issue (Track View + Piano Roll)
msmcleod replied to Daryl L. Samuel's topic in Feedback Loop
I've not delved into this deeply, but I suspect if this is a groove clip, and you've set beat 1 to the first transient in the waveform then what it is doing is aligning beat 1's transient to the grid rather than the edge of the clip. Which makes sense if you think about it.- 6 replies

Why do some audio clips have a dotted white border?
msmcleod replied to DallasSteve's question in Q&A
You've copied the clips as linked clips. That's why they're outlined. -
Grid / Snap Alignment Issue (Track View + Piano Roll)
msmcleod replied to Daryl L. Samuel's topic in Feedback Loop
Looks like you've got a snap offset set on the clip. You can tell by the small corner on the bottom left of the clip. Check the clip properties:- 6 replies

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.
