Possible to convert a .cwp into human-readable format?
Base 57 replied to User Zero's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yes. Please do this. -
There are several ways to do this. You have mentioned two and either of them will work. You could also explore Offset Mode. Just be sure to turn it back off after you finish the edit. However the easiest way is to just lower the gain control of the Master Bus.

Most likely this is a clock issue. Any time you are synchronizing two or more different machines there must be a common clock or they will drift apart.

A mono track panned center will play from both speakers equally. Mono sources should always be recorded to a mono track. In Cakewalk, even stereo sources like keyboards should be recorded as dual mono (separate left and right tracks). In Pro Tools (and some other DAWs I believe), there are separate left and right pan knobs for stereo tracks. But in Cakewalk the pan knob in a stereo track is a balance control. It only reduces the volume of the side you pan away from. If you record dual mono you can pan each side anywhere in the stereo spectrum without using a plugin like Channel Tools.

Cakewalk needs a Humanize feature in the PRV
Base 57 replied to Arabic Dude's topic in Feedback Loop
Don't forget Groove Quantize. -
I have an Orion 32+ which I love. I use the Thunderbolt driver which is ASIO only so I use a different device for Youtube and Spotify. While the driver seems to be bulletproof, the Control Panel can only be opened with the Antelope Launcher which has crapped out on me twice. Cakewalk and Reaper could see and use the device with no problem but the Antelope Launcher could not. Both times Customer Service was unable to help. They were very friendly and prompt but the solution both times was to reload Windows 10. My only other complaint is that there is no remote control capability for the Effects which means no automation. They sound fantastic but I can only control them with a mouse in real time and for me that makes them unusable. I have had the Orion 32+ for over 4 years now and the problems with the Antelope Launcher has only cost me a couple of days reloading Windows. And both times I've done that I have been glad I did. The machine works so much better afterword. So, I am glad I bought mine. If I ever have to buy another interface it will be the 32+ Gen 3.

As you have found, there are only 2 decimal places in Cakewalk's BPM. But there is no need to do any destructive editing. Just add a tempo change of +/- .01 BPM before the difference becomes noticeable. At an average BPM of 120 a .01 difference adds up to .03 seconds in 6 minutes (I think, math is not my best subject) so you shouldn't need more than 3 or 4 tempo changes to keep everything on the grid. And maybe the slight variation will keep it from sounding like robots recorded it. FWIW I would be happy to see another decimal in the Tempo grid. So +1 to that.

Cloud storage - Are many folks using it?
Base 57 replied to pax-eterna's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The $99 family plan allows 6 total users at 1tb each. -
To emphasize what @William W. Saunders, Jr. wrote above, any midi devices you will be using in CbB (ever) should be connected before you start the app; EVERY TIME. If you are using a USB keyboard or any other midi device when you save a project, that device needs to be connected when you open the project again or you will suffer the problem in the OP

10 thing that i think cakewalk need
Base 57 replied to user6808463577169165's topic in Feedback Loop
Try out @Colin Nicholls 's FLAT WHITE theme in the "UI Themes" sub-forum. It has colorful clip backgrounds. It's my go to theme for daylight hours. -
Cut and paste bug: Cut ignores space designated in selection
Base 57 replied to Craig Reeves's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Ripple Edit is not a workaround. It is the solution to the problem you are having. Just be sure to turn it back off after the edit. -
Expanding takes to tracks or copying from takes
Base 57 replied to Kayte Deioma's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The way that I approach this is to first do a comp edit. Then flatten that comp. Next duplicate the track and in the duplicated track delete all of the lanes except for the flattened comp. Then in the original track delete the flattened comp lane. Then select the original track so that all of the clips are highlighted and hit the letter k which will toggle the mute state of all of the clips. Now all of the clips that were in the original comp are muted. Right click on the parent track and select "delete muted clips". Then you can create a second comp without worrying about using duplicate clips. Repeat the above steps as necessary to create as many comp edits as you wish.- 3 replies

Writing lyrics and song structure
Base 57 replied to Frans van den Berge's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
This does work. But try editing the clip. That is when the real fun begins. The phrasing of this is more diplomatic than I would have been but I agree and use the Notes panel as well. -
This would be very helpful. An Arranger track display for the Staff View wouldn't hurt either. In the meantime, have you tried the Inline PRV?

At the top of the app under "Project" the first selection is "Audio Files". I don't know if that will help anymore than what you are already doing.
-
Or just use Normalize.

To deselect with the select tool in Staff View, click and drag anywhere off of the staff.

[SOLVED] What Am I Doing Wrong With Take Lane Edits?
Base 57 replied to razor7music's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
To stop the other lanes from following the slip edit, hold the Shift key. Once the split point has been decoupled from the other lanes you can move it without the modifier.- 1 reply

This is the likely suspect. I have had 2 different keyboards that the pitch wheel crapped out causing the problem you are having.

Oh okay. You can't. That is a long-standing feature request.

Losing Notes During Set Measure/Beat At Now
Base 57 replied to John Jesensky's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Use Process/Fit Improvisation for this. Whenever I need to create a tempo map for rubato or syncopated parts that Melodyne doesn't analyze correctly I tap the beat out on a microphone and run Fit Improvisation. The reference track that you tap out must be 1/4 notes and run the length of the piece. Set Measure/Beat at Now works very well but can be tedious when the tempo is changing constantly. When using SM/B@N there is no need to record another track. Use the metronome instead. -
[SOLVED] Is there a scrub tool in CbB?
Base 57 replied to Christian Jones's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
That is the Loop Construction View. The Scrub Tool is for Track View. Hit J and then drag across the clip in track 12. -
That is correct. I don't remember if it is included with CbB or is left over from SPlat but I use BlueVerb for this.

Fix/Update-External Insert true mono send and return
Base 57 replied to kc23's topic in Feedback Loop
While participating in this thread last month I created a test project that I wanted to work on some more today. When I opened it the mono inserts were all broken. I opened the Insert UI's and the inputs and outputs had reverted to "None". I had saved a few presets so I loaded them one at a time. All of the mono presets had reverted to "none" in the input and output fields. The stereo presets all loaded properly. So until this is repaired there should at least be a big red label warning (Lark's Vomit) For Stereo Use Only Now I remember why I had stopped using External Inserts altogether. -
Feature Request: Custom Instrument Maps for VSTi's
Base 57 replied to JohnK's topic in Feedback Loop
For me, I also like having the old-style tools in the Staff View windows. However, that should be in its own feature request thread. The Tool menu is easily called up in all of those Views with the "t" key. One key press and the tool menu pops up under the mouse cursor. Or learn the corresponding hot keys for each tool (F5-F10) and switching tools is even quicker and easier. I understand how moving from Pro Audio 9 to CbB can be confusing. All of the old functionality is still there plus a whole lot more. The learning curve however, is steep. Now back to the OP. I love your idea. +1
