You can either select all the midi tracks and the select "bounce to Track" or you can hold ctrl down (Quick group) and hit the freeze button on one of them https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Mixing.06.html https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=NewFeatures.019.html

I know you mentioned Workspaces. Can you double check that you don't have a locked screenset? That is the only thing I can think of other then there being a bug.

The method you mentioned is one way to do it. Another is to use Auto Track Zoom. This will have all unselected tracks be at your desired size and the selected one be a different size. By resizing any of the unselected tracks, all the unselected tracks get resized. I know of no "collapse all tracks" command. Even if there was what size would they be? I guess cakewalk would have to determine some minimum size to make them. You could always make this a feature request in the request subforum.

You would have to use an external program like Autohotkey. Cakewalk does not have macro recording or playback

Yes, they are better in general then the TTS1 and have more features.

Another thing to try. Bounce the clip to clip. Then try it. I have had times were a clip wouldn't work correctly until I bounced it.

You would have to search for the files on your hard drive to see if they still exist. If you can find them you can drag them in or point to them when opening the project. If you can't find them then I am afraid you are out of luck. The waveforms are just saved images that represent the audio, they don't directly point to the audio. They are cached so they can still be there even if the audio does not exist.

Thats the way comping was designed. Without a split where one take ends there is not way to comp the other takes together consistet with the comping system. I am one that actually doesn't mind the splits since I use the take lanes exclusively for comping. They are easy enough to "heal" with a swipe as well.

You might have to do a bit more trouble shooting. Do you have a saved version of the project where the marks are correct? If you revert to that version see if it happens again. Try to note what you were doing or do if it happens again. You could also upload your project to support@cakewalk.com to see if they see anything strange with the project itself.

We will need more information to know how to help. What audio interface are you using? What driver mode and buffer settings? Where are you playing back the audio file, imported into a track or previewing it in the browser? Have you looked through any of the troubleshooting guides? http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Troubleshooting.01.html

My experience has been that working with the take lanes to do anything other then comping takes, and even then at times, can cause problems. I wish the take lanes worked without bugs but they seem to have quirks that hinder my workflow. For now I try to move to do all my work in tracks so I don't see these problems. Sorry, not at fix for you just expressing sympathy and my workaround.

Suggestions; Run a "scan disk" on that drive to see if there are any erros. Un-hide all files, maybe they are hidden, system, swap file on that drive.

Each of those lanes represent a "take" that you did. You may have been overdubbing or addting parts to the track. You are supposed to select the takes that you like best and the resulting comped track is what you see, and hear, in the master track. Once you have the track the way you want it you can click and swipe to select all the clips in your master track and bounce to clip. This will combine all the little snippets of clips and make one clip. You can then ignore, delete, mute or do whatever you want with the take lanes. If you wanted all the clips to play at the same time then you should have used sound-on-sound recording mode. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.48.html

When you move your knob on your controller do you see the knobs move in the software? That would be the first thing I would check to make sure the mapping is working. Then if they move in realtime they should record on the selected track when record is enabled. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Automation.01.html

You have to set the original tempo of the clip, if it is not detected automatically, by clicking on the clip and in the Inspector setting the original temp. Then make sure it is marked as a groove clip. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Looping.05.html

The ones in the "Tutorials" forum.

Could it be that you have linked clips in those other tracks that are linked to ones you are editing?

Try this https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Arranging.23.html I strongly recommend going through the documentation or viewing all the videos in the tutorial section.

Or start with the manual http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=toc.html

It could have something to do with your audio interface and driver mode you aer using. What driver mode, audio interface and buffer settings are you using? Also, you mention X3e. Are you running an old version of Cakewalk?

If you made linked copies of the original clip and duplicated them then changing one would change them all. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.27.html

I don't normally export midi files so I am of little use other then pointing people to the documentation. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Exporting.18.html

If you open a bundle file it should contain all the audio needed for the project. Then if you save it as a .cwp file make sure you check, "copy project audio", when you save. Cakewalk should not be deleting any audio files so that would be strange. It could be that extracting the bundle file was not complete? https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=FileManagement.3.html
