I'm encouraged to hear that @Pathfinder is on the latests W10 build, because his hardware setup is, I believe, almost identical to mine. (Not that we've compared motherboards :-)) If I was brave enough, and had a clean way to drop back to 1803, I'd update and see what happened. But I'm not.

Hi @razor7music, I use an ECHO Layla 3G with Windows 10. The drivers work fine. It is my current DAW workhorse. Here's the caveat: I froze my DAW at Windows 10 1803. It was the version that came with my PC when I bought it. The 1809 update worked fine, but the 1903 update resulted in problems. (Example: Input Echo, Dropouts) There was an option to "clean factory restore" back to the 1803 version, and I took it, and decided to stay at that point for as long as possible. So far, so good. However I don't claim that later versions of Windows 10 are incompatible with the ECHO drivers, just that, on my DAW, with my update history, I seemed to hit a problem that was resolved by rolling back. I'd certainly give the ECHO drivers a shot if I were setting up a new machine.

The current version is 2020.04. If you're running that, you're good. I see no reason not to use it as your "daily driver".

@emeraldsoul, multi-scale (or "fanned-fret") basses are totally a thing, to balance string tension across the string courses. The patent on them was protected for a while but that ceased to be a problem at some point. Dingwall are probably the most well-known manufacturer these days, but other companies are catching up.

@David Sprouse, I'm singing on my tracks. I'm not singing on any of the other math teacher's tracks.

I'm not aware of any bulk-import feature.

F2 I hope

@sjoens, I'm not seeing that, at least, not in my test scheme based on Mercury:

@Daniel Boyce, I believe that these colors (drum map note names) can not be changed via themes. I definitely searched for them but was unable to find them. There are a few places where we just don't have that option, and I think this is one of them.

Ha, you guys are very insightful... or perhaps I'm just obvious. Correct about the influences and the intentional beat slippage in the choruses. Seeing as you asked, @AndyB01, here are some links: Official Album page on my site: http://www.prodigalsounds.com/inevitable Album on BandCamp: https://theprodigalsounds.bandcamp.com/releases Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5UeGPiHS74KYKNuRddze0s Review of previous album Official YouTube channel

Hi folks. My band's new album was released today, and to celebrate I uploaded a studio "play through" video of one of the tracks: YouTube: Working the Paradigm Shift (single edit) The track was created using Cakewalk By Bandlab. Enjoy!

Make the clip to groove a whole multiple of 1/4. For example, when I create a 7/8 groove clip, I make the clip two bars long. I have also had to remove notes from the clip *after* enabling groove-clipping and before stretching it out, in cases where I have a 1/8 rest at the end of the 7/8 bar... that probably doesn't make any sense but if you experiment with a sequence of 7 1/8 notes, in two bars, then groove-clip it, then remove notes, then stretch-fill, you'll see what I mean.

*popcorn*

Doesn't the Navigator view kinda satisfy this requirement?

That's pretty nice; well done. Looking forward to trying this one out.

@Gerry 1943, top right of the menu bar. Here I'm using my own custom workspace but "Basic" is one of the options.

You could try setting your interface to insane buffer sizes, etc, to force Cakewalk to show you what it would do for real dropouts. Or similar.

I guess this question is for @Craig Anderton - do we have any Techniques articles about Cakewalk to look forward to, or is it a done deal now that it's a free product? If so it's a shame because it seems to be that CbB is actually gaining new users, based on questions I see appearing on Reddit and Youtube comments....

Do you have a USB audio interface? Are the mouse and audio I/O sharing a USB Hub? I may be way off-base but I used USB Tree View to map the ports on my DAW so I could be sure that my Focusrite USB interface was optimally connected and there were no possible conflicts. That said, I have no idea if this is your issue but it's probably worth an investigation.

One person's "dated" is another person's "tested, trusted, familiar, efficient, muscle-memoried".

Can't you create an arrangement with multiple copies of the section? And then commit it to the project? (not something I've tried, just thinking on the fly)

Feel free to contribute your voice to this thread:

I am pretty sure it is these: If you're using a custom theme, then changing the colors under Preferences > Colors will override the theme. The theme settings are here:

@fonolit, just in case it helps: Timeline editing in Cakewalk, reloaded

In Sonar/Cakewalk? Per clip? I don't think so. You can set the clip header colors for the whole environment using the Theme Editor, of course (Track View -> Clips Pane -> Clips) but the clip-specific options only cover clip body foreground and background.
