I can't repro that. Is it reproducible? If so, how far did you nudge, what are the musical values (i.e. timing intervals) of the notes that disappeared, what's the value of Display Resolution and do you have Fill/Trim Durations enabled? Might be helpful to share a copy of the affected MIDI clip. Also, I'm not seeing a problem sliding automation; you just need to make sure the nodes are selected.

You can move the whole Cakewalk program directory anywhere you want after installation and create a directory junction to it. I did this to achieve the opposite: moving it from a spinning O/S drive to an SSD I added later. For example if moving from Program Files on C to Program Files on K:, after you've cut-pasted or drag-moved the directory (not copied; it needs to be gone from the original location in order to make the junction), open a command prompt 'as administrator' and enter: mklink /j "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk" "K:\Program Files\Cakewalk" That's all there is to it. You'll see what looks like (and works like) a standard shortcut in C:\Program Files but as far as Windows is concerned, nothing has changed. If the drive is so tight that you can't even get CbB installed, you can move some other apps using directory junctions first, or consider moving My Documents; Windows has a separate feature that allows that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/configuration-of-the-my-documents-folder-dfd9a90d-8f80-18d6-e7cc-f1566fc3b10b#:

Overall quality of the A/D/A converters and analog sections is more important than raw sample rate and bit depth, but I'm curious... can you tell me the actual measured Round-Trip Latency at 32-64-sample ASIO buffer, and can it run smoothly at those buffer sizes (assuming low DPC latency and sufficiently fast CPU for the plugin load)? I'm still happy with the MOTU PCIe interfaces on my desktop DAW but would be looking for a faster interface for the laptop laptop to replace the aging (and slow) Roland Duo-Capture EX. MIDI Round Trip would be good know as well. Makes me crazy that manufacturers never provide these specs, and few users take the time to measure and report them.

The thread you linked indicates that path to creating an empty preset required encountering a bug that was not reliably reproducible; I have tons of old WRK file-based projects that were reworked in the X1 era, and would certainly have taken that path if I had ever seen the opportunity. In any case, what I was getting at was that it was never an intended condition and has always required some sort of workaround to achieve.

Hmmm... I'd about lay money on my recollection that GlossEQ has always been the minimum configuration without the workaround.

TTS-1 has 4 stereo ouputs (or 8 mono if you pan instruments hard left and right). OP just needs to add audio tracks and assign their Inputs to the other Outputs.

It throws an error/warning, but it still clears the ProChannel successfully. Just save an empty .TXT file as Empty.pcp. After loading into a track/bus, right-click and choose Set Modules as Default. If you do this in a template for both tracks and buses, that template will never load anything in the ProChannel. I've been doing this for years and haven't encountered any issues.

So far as input filtering goes, CbB can only be set to completely ignore all controllers for purposes of recording; it's not selective and it will still echo everything in real time. MFX operate at the output of a track, which is effective to control what gets echoed, but won't limit recording; you'd have to Apply it after the fact. But even given those limitations, I don't know of an MFX offhand that's designed to only pass changing values. Most MIDI controllers are designed to only generate a new message when the position of the physical control has changed, so this isn't a very common scenario. You might have better luck finding a 3rd-party MIDI management app that can operate between the hardware ports and the DAW to do the necessary filtering. I recall looking into one of these apps a long time ago. It wasn't no-brainer cheap so I didn't pursue it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some pretty powerful freebies out there now.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the video series l linked covers that.

I don't know this library, but would expect "Ah" and "Oh" to be two different instruments/patches that need separate instrument tracks using two channels of Kontakt, Or possibly they use key-switched "articulations". Check the documentation.

Same here. I omitted my usual advice to get a basic keyboard controller and start learning to do real-time MIDI recording. Even having to edit the worst imaginable beginner performance will probably be faster and yield a groovier result than entering everything on the grid with fixed velocity using a mouse and then trying to "humanize" it. I was already a pretty capable keyboard player when I came to MIDI so it was natural to record drum parts from the keyboard like everything else. But even a rank beginner shouldn't have too much trouble laying down a kick and snare, hats, toms, cymbals and percussion (More Cowbell!) in stages.

This is a huge topic with many alternative approaches, but I'd recommend you try the Step Sequencer. there will be a slight learning curve, but I think it will rapidaly become faster for you than the PRV. If it needs additional tweaking, you can convert the Step Sequencer clip to an ordinary MIDI clip and work on it in the PRV later. https://gaga.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Views.12.html This is an ancient tutorial series, and uses Session Drummer, but it covers everything you need to know, step by step:

May not be a complete scam, but seems likely the license/software is hacked somehow. EDIT: In the interests of full disclosure I should mention I own shares of MSFT. ;^)

New Roland MC-500 hardware MIDI sequencer - $1000 in 1988. I spent the money on an 80286 PC and a Musiquest MPU-501 interface that came bundled with Cakewalk 2.0a for DOS. The rest is history. I emphasize New because I actually bought a used one for $50 c. 2001 just to play with.

My one recent outing with the free trial yielded attrocious timing errors in audio rendered from MIDI. End of experiment. No offense to those who know and love it for pure audio production, but as a MIDI musician, primarily, I wouldn't use it if it were perpetually free.

This limitation of Event Inspector came up a while ago. Process Find/Change is easy, but you can also set RechannelMIDI=1 in Cakewalk.ini set a forced Ouput channel in the track and Bounce to Clip(s) to write forced channel to the events. This used to be the default behavior until someone complained it was unintuitive... yes, but handy. ;^) RechannelMIDI=<0 or 1> Boolean 0 This variable specifies if a MIDI track's forced channel should be applied to channelized MIDI data when bouncing MIDI data, or when saving Format 1 Standard MIDI files. The values are as follows: 0 = Do not re-channelize MIDI events. 1 = Re-channelize MIDI events.

Velocity generally raises the amplitude of the sustain as well as the attack.

CbB will send all of the events in the order they appear in the Event list. Since MIDI is inherently a serial protocol, the order of events will be preserved in transmission even if the one-message-millisecond transmission rate of a physical MIDI port can't keep up with many events being sent on the same tick, and whichever one is received last by the synth will "win". All the events in a clip have an array index so you could theoretically write an undupe script to delete the first, second, third, etc. instance of every "duplicate" event on a given timestamp. But it can't "know" in advance how may dupes it will encounter on a given timestamp until it's passed the last one (unless you know for certain that every event is duplicated the same number of times). So you would need to go through the loop once to find the index of the last dupe on each timestamp, one at a time, and then iterate through the sequence a second time to delete it. Then go through the sequence again, ignoring that first timestamp group to find the index of the next "last dupe", etc, etc. I'm not aware of an existing CAL that's designed to do anything like this for controllers. I could write one, but I'm so rusty with CAL, it would be a long and painful process. ;^) It would be significantly easier to write a CAL to just keep the first event it finds and delete all subsequent events of the same type on the same timestamp. That could be done in a single pass. And you could adapt the existing UNDUPE.CAL for note events to do it (or one of the revised ones that addresses a bug in the original).

I am certain New Sonar will be completely backward compatible with earlier projects and templates as every version of Cakewalk/SONAR/CbB before it has been. 35-year-long users like me would revolt if it wasn't.

Normally you would do this in MIDI, using CC11 - Expression, but the result is unlikely to differ greatly from automatiing audio volume. Expression is just a volume control that operates within the range defined by CC7 - Master Volume. If you lower volume of any signal extremely rapidly and deeply that sudden modulation can be heard as a sound in itself, regardless of how it's achieved. I think you probably just need to reduce the rate and depth of the change. But try doing it in MIDI and see how it sounds.

The soft synth should be removed when that last MIDI track using it as Output and Audio track using it as Input is deleleted. If you're using seprate MIDI and Synth tracks, it may not get deleted it you just change the I/O assignment of one of those tracks without deleting them.

In the mean time, the SustainFix MFX from Tencrazy should be able to reverse it for you. MFX can be applied in real-time at the output of a MIDI track (either while input monitoring or on playback), or they can be rendered into the clip by right-click > Process Effect > MIDI Effects. https://www.tencrazy.com/gadgets/mfx/

Yes, that's right. Selecting the Audio tab of the Instrument track still shows the MIDI ports for Input, not audio ouputs from the synth. You have to split the track to change the audio Input. Manually add MIDI and Audio tracks, assign their outputs and inputs to another channel of the existing synth instance, and Make Instrument Track.

Are you just trying to confirm your installation is complete and valid? If Cakewalk loads successfully and you have access to default templates under New Project and things like Prochannel modules and presets, arpeggiator patterns and CAL scripts, there probably isn't anything wrong with your installation. Just for reference, my Cakewalk Core folder contains 23 files, 16 of which are .DLLs. Did you find your project files?

If the missing projects aren't in your recycle bin and you don't have a backup, you should stop and run a file recovery app and see what it can restore. I used a program called "Recuva" years ago, but not sure what the best/better options might be today. Plus Windows 10/11 have a lot more built-in file recovery capabilities now. In any case, you need to stop doing things that write anything to your hard drive, and get your projects recovered. https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva
