If you are recording to the same track you need to enable "sound-on-sound' recording mode (right click on the record button in the transport module). Otherwise the track is muted when you do a new take.

Vocalign not a built in ARA effect, VocalSync is as well as Melodyne. The documentation does not mention a way to open VocalSync with a keystroke.

First off, the reported latency doesn't mean that the track is recorded that much late. It is an indication that cakewalk knows about this latency and will adjust it automatically. However, sometimes the latency is not reported correctly or accurately so there is a manual adjustment that you can make after doing a loop back test of your audio interface. However, there are several ways to "nudge" the clips. You can zoom in and just drag the clip to move it, also there are actually some nudge commands you can bind to a key. http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.35.html

A picture might be in order. I don't understand what "the fade does not loop" means? If you apply a fade at the beginning and end of the clip after you are done looping then there should not be click or pop? Do you mean that you have a clip with fades on it but when you loop around that clip you still here a pop? If that is true then you might have to ask the developers about that. I have not noticed that.

I am not aware of any way to assign a key binding to apply a specific VST.

You can also select all the tracks and drag the edge of one and all will resize. There is also the auto-focus thing where all the tracks not selected have one size and the selected track another. if you resize one unselected track the rest get resized with it. Not quite what you are asking for but just some other options.

No offense taken, I like to have a 16 bit version for the exact reasons you stated, mp3 and CD. I tried uploading a 24 bit to soundcloud and Spotify. They do their own things to it so I couldn't hear the difference between my 16 and 24 bit uploaded files.

I zoom vertically all the time with my mouse. I can't remember the exact key combination but I think it is shift-cntl and mouse wheel or one of those combinations.

If you play the wave files what do they contain?

Interesting. I have never seen this and it doesn't do this on my system. The only things I can think of is to check your path settings and make sure things look like they are pointing to correct locations. Maybe it is specific to your language version?

From my standpoint there is no reason to export 64 bit files unless there is some super resolution audio format out there. Even 32 bit files are overkill for most needs unless you are transferring stems to another machine for more mixing. Personally, I export at 24 bit, and then master everything down to 16 bit. From there I do mp3, uploads to streaming services etc.

One thing you can try to do is to bounce the adjusted tracks to audio. This will bake in the adjustments and should not show the issues you mentioned. However, I have noted in other threads were sometimes bouncing adjusted notes didn't render correctly. So double check the results.

Jamstix is a complicated program so it could be any number of things. Thing I could think of would be that jamstix was put into midi only mode, your routing from jamstix to your audio channel got messed up?

All I can do is suggest the usual. Check the midi channel that your tracks are receiving on. Check that the connection from you midi tracks to you audio tracks. Try puting some midi notes in the midi track by hand and seeing if they play. If all else fails get a midi monitor program, like MidiOx, and see what your Akai is outputting when you press a key.

A bit more information is going to be need. What audio interface and driver mode are you using? Is this a midi or audio track? A screen shot of your tracks might also be useful.

It looks to me like you would need to record the audio out of the Yamaha keyboard into your audio interface. What audio interface (sound card) are you using? I am assuming you want to record a bass sound directly from the keyboard or are you trying to just record the midi from your keyboard and then use an instrument on your computer for the bass sound?

You have to make sure that the driver mode you select is compatible with your sound card. Usually the built in Realtek cards needs something other than ASIO.

You can use the Browser or Windows File Explorer to drag and drop audio files into new tracks or existing audio tracks.

This is not the definitive answer because I could not find any documentation to back it up. But I would guess that the only way to do it would be to save a track template with the routing set up like you want. then when you add a track use the track template.

The only way I know to "automate" the pitch of an audio file would be with something like Melodyne.

The code didn't work for the Bass Midi loops when I tried it.

When you create a project there is a setting to use per project audio. This will create the audio file under the project directory. Otherwise it should use the global folder. Do a complete search on your hard drive(s) and see if you can locate where the bounces are going.

I think what you are hearing is the MIDI velocity of the TTS notes might be low. When you preview things it often uses the highest midi velocity so it sounds louder. It actually doesn't sound that soft in your video when playing it in Cakewalk. If you look at your meters the audio track is hitting -2.7dB which is really hot. It should probably be turned down so it it showing maybe -12 dB or so no the meter. You can make the piano part louder by turning up the volume, the input gain on the audio track and/or making the midi notes have higher velocity. I don't know why your exported audio would sound louder except that you may have the audio player volume turned up louder?

When you record to take lanes you are creating layers of clips on top of each other. Depending on your recording settings you can use these as "takes" where only one lane is heard at a time and you pick your desired lane at each time interval to create a mixture of your takes to get the best piece of each take. Pieces of a take lane that are not chosen are muted so that only one take is played at a time. If you bounce to clips this kind of midi track all the clips that make up the audible portion of the track will be merged into one clip. If you have your recording options set to "sound on sound" then your take lanes will all playback at the same time. However, underneath each take is a separate clip. The track only shows the top clip, or lane, in the track even though there are more underneath it playing. If you select all clips in the lane, by lassoing or select by time range then bounce to clip, it will create one clip where you can see all the notes from all the layers.

Sounds like the project file itself might have gotten corrupted when you had the crash. You could try "save as" and click to move the audio data with the new project and save it in a new location. You could also bounce all your tracks out as stems and then create a new project and drag your tracks into the new project to see if this fixes your problem.
