I use this all the time for comparing against reference tracks and for comparing tracks to eachother. I also use Ozone's EQ that has a compare feature

If you didn't already know, you can create your own track icons as well. No need to wait for Bandlab to do it. I have created several that help me identify my guitar parts and main ouput bus.

Great, Now I just have to justify aquiring this somehow.

Time streching does take some processing power so it could cause glitches I suppose. There is an option somewhere for what online (realtime) time streching is used. You could try a different mode to see if it helps. Otherwise, you would need to bounce to clips to bake in the time stretch.

Are you saying that the audio is playing but the now time indicator is not moving? Or is it that you hit play and nothing happens?

You do not have to recourd the audio out of the EZDrummer2 if you do not want to. You can leave the midi as is and just treat the audio tracks like any other audio track. It just won't have a waveform on it. Another thing to try is to "freeze" the track and it will bounce all the midi to audio without you having to record them.

What driver type are you using (ASIO, WASAPI etc.)? If using WASPI make sure that your windows settings sample rate matches your project sample rate.

Ok, So maybe a pass for me.

You could try track autozoom. Selected track has one height and all others will be the same size that you set them to. Another option is to select all desired tracks and hold down cntrl while resizing. http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=Menus2.003.html

What has been updated in MSP4 from MSP3?

You also don't mention if the guitar part is a direct recording of the dry guitar signal or through a miced amp or other. You can look at the recorded guitar level in either peak or average levels. peaks tell you how close the highest values are getting to clipping on the input. The average tells you how much power the average signal has. A dry guitar signal, generally, will have high peaks but low average signal level and this makes it quite. Put a guitar through a tube amp or amp simulation and those peaks can get compressed and bring up the average level.

Also, Make sure that when you recorded the new automation track it didn't overwrite your original ones.

Yes, Bounce to Clips

When you record over the same part new clips are created, usually in new take lanes. To merge them select all the clips in the track and bounce to track. Then you will only have one clip

This must be a VST plugin issue or some routing issue. Are those plugins 32 bit? If you enable one you say that the audio completely cuts out? What order do you have the plugins in? A picture of your EFX bin might help some. My recommendation is do delete all the FX and make sure you have audio playing with nothing in the track. Then add one plugin at a time and play with it for a while to see which one might be the culprit.

It is probably a crash in the plugin. See this to know how to submit a crash dump.

Cakewalk used to come with a limited version of Melodyne which is a pitch correction software. With that being said, Gsnap should work but I have not used it personally. Others to look at and see if there are demos or cheap version of pitch correction plugsin are Waves, Autotune and Izotope.

+1

Some of the pro-channel modules were paid for updates. So if you have those installed in from previous versions they should show up in Cakewalk by BL

Are all the clips marked as groove clips or has the audio transient tool been used to tell the clips to follow tempo? Audio clips don't automatically follow tempo changes you have to tell them to be able to do that. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=4&help=Dialogs2.140.html https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Tempo.02.html

A picture of what you see might be useful but it could be that as you add and edit notes in the PVR it creates new clips, possibly even in new take lanes. To consolidate them select them all and bounce to clip.

What is the first effect in effect bin? Is it a stereo effect or a mono effect.

I would first try to uninstall Cakewalk from the windows Add Remove programs. Then try to re-install it. However, first check that cakewalk is not showing as a running process in Windows Task Manager. Sometimes a driver can get stuck and not allow cakewalk to open or close properly. If you do see it then click on it and kill it or reboot your machine. You also might want to try re-installing your interfaces drivers.

I have been making a few of my own. I would be willing to share them but I also have moved the keyswitches of most of the instruments to my liking so I thought that would put off a fair number of people from using them
