one thing i noticed in the reviews - heat. the 7950X without turbo was running near 95°C and recommended much larger cooling capability... intel product also running hot and thus both likely getting temperature throttled.

dynamic eq would be nice as well ?

same here - programs stay on the C: drive, as much as content - i junction to my D: drive. so i tend to be selective with things like Sample Tank, Waves, Melodyne, and a few other that if you try to do their entire folder, things get screwy. but using junctions on the content subfolders seems to work fine.

you could try the matrix view and drop samples on the buckets there. read up on (and play with) the matrix tool as it has a lot of excellent capabilities.

i would try out the Ozone to remove it (in the past when preprocessing files i would use Sound Forge to kill the DC offset and set levels etc). now i mainly use RX-7 to perform my preprocessing on files.

its definitely something going on... i got the out of phase issue on the drums (i replaced the ez drums with addictive drums). created a blank project. set up SI-drums (everyone has those ? ) on an DRUMS audio track and MIDI (clips from project file) track. create new patch point. assigned output of DRUMS to Patch Point 1 created new audio tracks - PDRUM with Sonitus Compressor in FX bucket, and RAW. assigned Patch Point 1 to both PDRUM and RAW. created Bus A. assigned output of PDRUM and RAW tracks to Bus A. started PLAY. no phasing. turn off FX on PDRUM, ok. turn on FX on PDRUM - phasing. turn off - still phasing. STOPPED PLAY. restart PLAY - no phasing. with the Sonitus Compressor turned off, cycling the FX bucket causes the same phasing. removing the Sonitus Compress - cycling is ok, no phasing. added Wave C1 compressor - no problem. going to suggest the Sonitus Compressor is the issue. if you remove it from the original project - same thing happens - no phasing. TEST (DRMS W PATCH POINT PHASE).cwp

OP - is it possible that you turned off the PDC during tracking to eliminate latency, and now any un-even fx timing is showing up?

there is also this: Cakewalk - Cakewalk Documentation - Removing DC offset https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingAudio.22.html

then again, there are lots of recordings where what was sung is not what the lyrics sheet said as a means of circumventing the record label and radio/tv censors... ?

i like playing chords on the bass - not only strumming but also arpeggios as i walk the chords. i find that this is useful when there are only a few instruments playing (like dynamics drop in the midrange instruments during a verse or guitar solos). one trick i found (i seldom use a pick) is to strum downstrokes with the face of my fingernails (essentially back handed) and thumbnail (upstrokes) so it's a hard surface against the strings. best bet is round wound (on my precision it sounds almost like a piano), but also works on flats (my upright EDB - i even get some nice harmonics).

in case anyone was interested in what the White Album played live would be like:

yeah, i think the shift modifier on the ctrl-drag would be brilliant to allow easy cloning (or not) of the automation(s) assigned to the fx. ?

so, a couple of checks if not already doing them: LatencyMon to check if there are things in your system contributing to delays. also, even in the world of everything-is-usb, the underlying tech (in most cases) is still PCI or some other bus - which can be impacted by system interrupts from things like keyboard/mouse, disks, other peripherals, printers, outboard gear, etc. so using tools like HWInfo can show you the list of things connected to your USB ports and related busses and then you can restack your devices to minimise the interactions. for example, my audio i/o has the USB3/PCI bus all to itself. my keyboards and MIDI gears on a USB2/PCI, and my mouse/keyboard/iLok/etc are all on another USB2/PCI. my internal disks show up as PCI and they're separate. note: all these "separations" though are "time shared", ultimately, since my main device is a laptop (at the moment) and not a desktop with more busses and memory channels etc.

i put my Melodyne separation folder into my project space so it's excluded from the A/V, as well as excluding Melodyne itself, plus the .nff files, etc. and it seems to ignore the Melodyne app / plugin and related folders. keeps the transfers and separations off my C drive as well ?

the underpinning of the take lanes are segments of the track clip - i.e. their position in the UI is a function the track clip metadata. so while it might be desirable (not for me) for some to have these "sub-clips" enabled for effects, the underlying mechanism would likely need to be wholly restructured (as Will and azslow3 have alluded to several times now)... resulting in effectively more clips -> more processing ?

ah. ebay - feedback destroyer pro. ? should be reasonable price (got mine for $50) and it (being a powerful parametric eq) can be used for a number of things besides feedback. i use mine for simulating the Bose 901 EQ box curve and sometimes a room response EQ'ing (where i need to tweak some peaks down a bit).

spaces matters ?

i just use the VST version in the PC FX chain works fine. the PC version UI definitely is not very usable... it's a really nice compressor when you need fast transient response - i like to use it when i need to "soften" something a bit. pushing it also adds some nice color.

so, something stripped down? +1 - not quite the HW output but really minimal. would you still want FX and PC available? in this example i used the display settings but this would be an actual "type" (like track, bus, aux etc). definitely this would be useful (for me as well).

main "accurate" monitors and center mono speaker are all self-powered. JBL 5.1 speakers and a stereo pair of 12" 3-way Fishers are JVC RX-7000 powered (100/ch) and the Bose 901 are Audio-Centron 250w/ch PA grade power amp (forgot the model offhand). if you're room is not getting the best balanced response for your listening position, as @bdickens noted - you want to adjust things and treat your room.

i use the PC FX chain to host my effects and save each as a preset. then in my templates i have a baseline set of them in use, but can select other presets - so i have the CW effects as default, then Waves, Slate, etc variations. plus instrument variants: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, rock bass, jazz bass, funk bass, lead guitar, lead vox, back vox, etc. also left and right guitar with some preliminary scooping etc to make LR placement not become big mono, etc. also bus presets for instruments, reverbs, delays, etc. so using the PC works for me as i can see the stack of effects and PC fx in a single pane. the track fx box tends to be too small for me.

agreed. i'm think where the projects are more closely aligned and esp if using the BandLab VST plugin, then really CW would be used for the more granular aspects of tweaking audio / samples / midi before reloading into BL.

and longer term - upload a CW bundle to BL - where the project would have used the BandLab VST to provide the instruments which would then be used in BL edits. one example might be BIAB VST (although a much nicer UI is a must), thus allowing full round trip.

it looks like the staff view has the discrepancy between the "page number" and the "measure number". when you zoom out, you can see all the measures (in my example, 31 measures) but when you view it in normal view, the page 17 view doesn't let you see the last few measures and then the display jumps on the next "page", hiding the last few measure. so, it seems yet another (perhaps already known?) bug in the staff view... or perhaps just a wrong page view vs measure view setting? and a print preview seems to show a similar issue of missing measures...
