Indeed!

oooh... that make it even more useful... will google some free expansions later, cheers!

Nag screens are fine, as are emails as long I can unsubscribe. What I want to avoid is installing unwanted codec packs, background processes or adware. 129MB seems reasonable.

Is this something I should go for if I want to keep my freshly installed Windows uncluttered and clean from any add-ware like codec packs, 'helpers', ads, any bundled software, etc that could come with this type of software? Or should I look elsewhere? Thx

Are there any free 3rd party MPC expansions? Would Beats open them? Just curious.

sorry... wrong thread <facepalm>

@Bradley Ross in your case Cakewalk may reset modwheel value to zero when you hit stop. If Aria is using modwheel for volume fades then this may be it, try go to Preferences>Project>MIDI and under Other Options uncheck "Zero controllers when play stops" and see if that helps edit... this may be CC#7 Volume and/or CC#11 Expression as well

acha! there's the deviation... for me it only works below the middle of the clip, because I have switched off the clip header so many options, so many ways

I tried now, filled the dropdowns and got the email... not sure filling out dropdowns did the trick though

oh right, the OP was about partial clip gain editing without changing the filter... I'm afraid we'll be not given this option even though cakewalk is almost already there, that's why the new shortcut is in prepare

agree... you can only have so much real estate

They've just added Arranger Track which is rather on the major side, so it's not like Cakewalk is stagnating for me and the bugfixes are invaluable. I realize people would like to see some major additions like for example composition tools. But lets take, say, a chord track - with so many great Scalers and Instachords out there already, they would have to be working really hard on it and the effect still wouldn't be competitive enough probably. If I had to decide, I would prefer to spend this time on updating the audio/MIDI routing in Cakewalk instead, to make it more clean and simple so we could use those 'scalers' and 'instachords' the easy way and focus on the music. OTOH some tools are difficult to replace with 3rd party plugins so yes, a keyswitch manager would be very welcome. Also new/updated editing tools that can make the work more smooth.

No, when you're in clips (parent track, focus to clips) even with no automation and all lanes closed, when you Ctrl+click and drag (up/down) in the bottom half of the clip itself, this is how you create the clip gain envelope (no Volume, Automated Mute, etc, just Clip Gain), it becomes visible and you can drag the whole thing up or down this way. Just need to remember to be working in the bottom half of the clip. (EDIT: unless it's something else in the envelope lanes, then idk. ) To be able to make fine automation adjustments, as a workaround, I just maximize the track/lane height. It does help.

it works only when you click on the lower half of the clip

Here are the steps exactly (but there's no a perfect solution): 1. Ctrl+A to select the whole project 2. Go to menu Process>Length 3. Make sure 'Start Times' and 'Durations' are checked 4. Input 150 Percent and click OK 5. Change tempo to 180 6. Set 'Now Time' at the beginning of bar 3 7. Go to menu Project>Meter/Key Signature 8. Input 'Beats per Measure': 12 and 'Beat Value': 8 9. Make sure that 'At Measure' says 3 and click OK 10. In Staff View go to menu View>Display Resolution and choose 1/8 You should be almost there now, except that the thrills are not behaving properly (common problem for me in Cakewalk). In that case you have two ways to deal with it. A. Remove thrills and leave just the note B. Revert to Display Resolution>16, select all notes (ctrl+A) BUT unselect (hold ctrl+right click to drag a lasso over the notes) only the notes that are thrills and passages (basically anything that's not an eight note), then click 'Q' to open quantize window, select Duration 1/8, make sure Start Times and Note Durations are checked, set Strenght to 100% and click OK - now you can manually shape the thrills and passages to match their corresponding note lengths and quantization (from what I see some notes are 16th or 16T) hope that helps yeah I know... there's always some work to be done, no perfect shortcuts

I think you have to scale the length (both starting times AND duration) of all events in your project by 150%, in addition to the meter change.

Woohoo! So did the Space Delay deliver? My concern is the CPU hit, can you use it freely across the tracks? Let's see... I saw on IK youtube channel there's also a live stream planned for this evening, devoted to Space Delay. Thanks Zo!

Did you fill out everything? I skipped the dropdowns and it let me through.

Registered for the free version but no email back, not in the spam either. Anyone got it?

LOL! Maybe I'll be able to cancel my Sonar Lifetime Updates order...? Too late, I think ?

That was pretty quick Larry, good job! ? But something's still not quite there, plz try harder, we need more discount!

Thanks. That's probably in automation lane? Because on the track itself, when working in focus to clips, when clicked on the bottom half, it's changing the clip's gain. But, unfortunately, always the whole envelope regardless any selection within the clip ?? EDIT: sorry I misread your post, I mean Ctrl, not Shift... didn't see any change when using shift in automation lane either

That 'Create a Tempo Curve' is brilliant idea! Another handy tempo feature I'd gladly welcome is to smooth-out the changes. I recently created tempo map from a loosely played strummed guitar, using 'Set Measure/Beat at Now' on every beat. Turned out the changes were all over the place, they kinda stuck close to the target tempo but was constantly up and down. Any tempo based effects did literally freak out just each next beat. The proper smoothing-out in my understanding would calculate a perfect (average/balanced) curve from all the changes, denying the need of wonky tempo jumps every beat

What is the shortcut plz? I typically maximize track height for fine adjustments.

Definitely! Once cakewalk became a free product more people will start using it - that was my initial argumentation. Now is time to give him some reasons people ! I think his plugins are excellent on their own and he probably should be fine with his sales but prochannel modules could open a whole new market. The only reason I didn't buy the Pan knob yet is that I want it as a PC version, that's a first hand example.
