That's very interesting, would you mind to give some examples? 24/44.1 here as well, if you encounter aliasing, go up or use upsampling

yes, I got it right from the beginning, it was the other folks that got confused with my early post I already said sorry it's the way authorization's online dependant, that was our whole gripe of the discussion, you cannot set and forget, no more with win10, no more with cakewalk today etc... a mark of time (and very counter-productive sometimes)

I guess, me and possibly few others, are the ones that don't like to stand on an uncertain ground, that's how I would describe the situation now, that's all

basically this

agreed... and that was our sad conclusion to the discussion sad because it makes more and more difficult to organize your workplace the way you like it today than it was years before

right, still it doesn't make us own what we've paid for Sonar back then, nor own what we are offered for free now and that was the original context of our discussion, irrespective of my 'misquotes' do I stand correct or corrected?

yeah I didn't mean to escalate any conspiracy theories, if you guys check my response to Mandolin Picker's post you'll hopefully get the right context

"The program has a lease that we set to about 6 months..." "leasing" not "renting"... wrong wording. Sorry!

If you're London based then I can help without you having to pay me. I can even offer a coffe.

If you own pre-bandlab Sonar version with bundled Addictive Drums then just leave that one installed and then install CakeLab, it will install alongside without affecting anything and your Addictive Drums will pop out in like that. Edit: I'm still waiting for cakelab (free) with superior drummer bundled (no pun intended)

For years I was typing into Sonar/VSTi's with realtek & asio4all = ~40msec audible latency. Now if I'm playing live my every note/chord is split second ahed the music which sounds very funny

Yeah only that Cakewalk is working on a rental basis too now.

if the names could get rid of the brackets that would make renaming significantly easier

I cant reproduce any problem other than when you keep now time at the same place you basically copied the clip on top of the original. Move the Now Time to different measure or try ctrl+drag clip to copy. Now that sounds like pasting in a different track.

set snap to grid to 'move to' and something like one beat or one measure, now drag clip's right edge to where you need leaving snap settings at smart grid should also work

no, it should play the same... (and I edited my post to correct the last bit) how do you copy the clip, ctrl+drag?

Cakelab is grouping entered notes into clips in a somehow arbitrary way i.e. if you enter new note in prv that is away from the nearest clips it will create a new clip. If you move the note in pvr closer to other notes afterwards, in track view the clip is moved closer to other clip. It takes a bit time to break it down and then working with clips will get easy. You can right-click and drag a lasso over the two clips and click 'bounce clips', it's non-destructive. the clips in your graphics are midi clips - if you drag it onto another midi track make sure that track is configured properly (connected to the synth), if you drag it onto an audio track it won't play - you would need to render midi to audio first.

I was lucky to get it free while it was being introduced ?

another vote for offline option, though I understand it needs a bunch of work, but it's like essential for some really

You do have to use that online bandlab thing if you want to run the latest cakewalk because that's how you download and authorize it. That being said I think we are safe to assume that you're good to run your 8.5 for decades on if it suits your needs well. It's major advantage is that you will be able to install and authorize it offline each and every time you would need or want, unlike the new online bandlab thing that needs to be re-authorized online every 6 months or so. Mind you that there's another bandlab's online thingy, an online daw that is something different from cakewalk, and I suppose abacab was trying to point it out, but I had to re-read his post couple times myself to get his point

You can easily keep settings, like program and control change, and the actual music in separate clips and then shuffle clips between projects by copy/paste or drag'n'drop. The other way is to keep your synth settings in separate clips on different tracks and use archive/un-archive track.

I believe this script works without any dialog box and this is what he wanted - immediate effect after pressing the key. Workflows, workflows...

that would qualify for a brilliant feature request, me thinks

3. select the notes to modify then use Nudge (up/down) 4. use process Find/Change to select notes and modify, here you can enter a precise amount

If all the most important CAL functions like legato, undupe, thin controller, split notes/chan to tracks and possibly few more, were added to process midi menu then I guess there would be not much of use for CAL anymore. But I could be wrong.
