SonarBeta: Whats My Wish List For The New Redone Sonar.
Glenn Stanton replied to Reggmail's question in Q&A
it is a workspace thing. but you can easily create custom ones (which is what i use with my templates to rapidly change views and have custom mix of track/buss widths, positions, inspectors etc) depending what i'm trying to do. -
me too! that's why i use a template which condenses things down to a handful of busses to automate for the complete mix or export as stems when needed ? then for managing it - i flip quickly (in a single monitor scenario) using the custom workspaces to expose or hide console view of tracks or busses (although the "mix" workspace has both and i can simply slide the busses to the side or press D to go to the overall view).

SonarBeta: Whats My Wish List For The New Redone Sonar.
Glenn Stanton replied to Reggmail's question in Q&A
at the very least - tracks and busses, but it could be handy to have a stack of tracks say 12-18 per row x 3 or 4 rows on a 43" portrait monitor. ? possibly even an option to group tracks and busses to a particular floating window regardless of "physical" location on the main console. so i could (on say a large monitor) separate groups placed around as i feel they're most effective. probably a release 2 consideration ? -
my mix template has individual tracks going to the instrument sub-mix busses, those feed stem busses and those feed the master and print busses for outputs. buss effects for each type go to the same stem, top level buss effects go to the master (like room and other ambience effects).

so true, but if they make me sing for my supper, they're the ones who will truly suffer... ?

it's only "right wing" if it's a conspiracy "theory", it's "left wing" when it's a conspiracy "fact". like the JFK assassination is now conspiracy facts - all left wing CIA, FBI (Hoover), Johnson, etc folks to stage a coup as JFK was too right wing for them... lol

the CA-2A is. and you can find your product code in your product list.

New Installation on new computer MIDI problem
Glenn Stanton replied to wahlterh's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
is the old keyboard lighting up the LED on the midisport when you play? if not, then check your controller settings. and then maybe use something like MIDI Ox to check on what is coming across if the lights are flickering. -
check the size of the old one i had remm'd out and the newer one and the PC2A are about 10K different... whereas the CA-2A is significantly larger -- ~1.2mb ... but maybe because it's a VST w/ registry entries for use as a PC module as well as a VST plugin...
-
interesting. the opposite of my system until i just downloaded the updated PC2A. maybe re-install the CA-2A?
-
i usually (after tweaking things) hover over the RFX box on the Melodyne-region FX track, and select "Copy MIDI". then render last. never even occurred to me to render then drag as the Copy MIDI option is right there... partly because the MIDI is then on the clipboard.
-
yeah, i downloaded the DLL (from a link in the post i shared) and it's 10K smaller than the one labelled ".old" and it seems to be working ok (although the CA-2A has the option to be side chained whereas the PC2A does not). so i must have disabled it when it was causing problems.
-
in my folder - the module has been renamed as ".old" -- maybe i did that when it was buggy?
-
what module is the PC2A? i think i have all the PC modules and do not see any PC2, only PC4 modules. did you mean the CA-2A compressor? note that not all PC modules came with SONAR and had to be purchased separately. however, there are plenty of free and paid versions of an LA-2 compressor including UAD, Waves, Slate, and free products.

Unable to save entire recording -- the audio disc may be full

Unable to save entire recording -- the audio disc may be full
Glenn Stanton replied to Sheens's topic in Computer Systems
maybe it's a permission issue to the file or folder? the INI file is in the C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core folder. rename it so you can recover it if necessary. what is the VST you're trying to record? of course running Windows 7 may be a bit long in the tooth nowadays as well... -
modern vector graphics. this is the way ?
-
yes - if you're only saving it as a bundle to transfer, then so a save-as to a normal project on the far end (does it work like that?) - there is still some potential for overwriting the good version on the far end - so definitely recommend (in all cases - bundled or not - really) to create versions of the projects so they get their own folders when you "unpack them" and then maybe get in the habit of only keeping the last two versions (space savings and clutter).

Tracks recorded at different bit rate, is it fine?

Sonar Platinum Freezes after loading one song!
Glenn Stanton replied to VC the Great's question in Q&A
did you try holding shift when loading a project to go into safe mode to make sure it's not a plugin? then you could try reinstalling the SPLAT redistributables as OS updates (if you're using an OS which is getting updates) can easily impact the functionality. i'd try the redistributables first. while re-installing the core app is not a lot of disruptions, it could be, so last choice for me.- 5 replies

Tracks recorded at different bit rate, is it fine?
Glenn Stanton replied to Marcello's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
as HOOK noted - the bit depth should be ok -- except -- the 16-bit may be lower quality or have some clips etc depending on the material and how it was recorded. if your project is 32-bit the 16-bit will be padded with the lower bits set to zero until you hard edit them (like bounce to clip) when the new files should become 32-bit (as any processing which then impacts the lowest 16 bits will become non-zero). if there was a sample rate difference - those should have been altered when you added them otherwise you'd get a warning if somehow you slipped them in (not easy so unlikely). -
and the idea that using automation instead of MIDI fails when plugins don't have automation on their controls... and technically, VST3 can use MIDI, with the caveat that a) it's not to the specification if you do code it; b) it's a bit of extra work and realistically, if plugin developers started to do it regularly, Steinberg could pull their license or alter any supporting libraries to screw it up more... does CLAP support full MIDI and automation in the specification / libraries?
-
ugh! learn! not when i can ask a forum for the answer... ?

the trick was to "save as" so the new project file was only taking the bounced files with it (the example John was showing) so there is a reduction. and this is generally a best practice for archiving or sharing projects - bounce tracks from zero (1:01) to end (or export tracks for the same consolidation and reload) and save the project as "myproject-v###" or "myproject-v###-ARCHIVE" etc etc so it's "clean". best to also include project documentation - track list, effects, settings, other metadata, lyrics, artists, etc so if you revisit a project years later you can be refreshed...

the interesting thing about the Synth V - if you imagine yourself as a producer training a singer - here are the notes and a reference track, then tweak to the "singers" voice, it is very like coaching someone on a song but letting them do their thing. in the vocal libraries i'm using, they're created from real singers so they're not really synthetic. the singers who provided their voices had to sing the "phonomes" which is what the engine uses to assemble the vocals. i'm actually impressed someone had the vocal chops to sing partial words and sustain sounds (for editing) (and like thousands of them) and in one of my libraries, in 3 wholly different languages...
