    Hi Everyone.

    I'm trying to record any automation on BUS but it doesn't work.
    I can only play.

    I think it's a bug because 1 time on 100 that works and when I try again, it's doesn't work anymore.

    I installed the latest version , same thing.

    If you are routing the track output to the bus, it should work with no issues. If you're sending the audio track to a bus as an effect, it will act as a send effect. 

  3. After you have tweaked some workspaces, it is important to click on "Apply to workspace on project load" and make sure to save it. 

    If im correct (havent done it in years) you need to tweak a custom workspace from one of the available ones seen in your screenshot for the New and Save options to become visible.

    My PC has been sluggish all day... then it became apparent why... the latest windows 2023/12 update had been doing it's thing in the background, and when I finished up for the day was telling me to restart to complete the update.

    I can't count how many times this has caught me out.

    Before troubleshooting all your audio settings / cakewalk config etc... check Windows update - it could be the cause of the slowdown and memory usage. 

    Some day I'll remember my own advice myself!

    This is true. I even figured out that if I dont have the 3.5 redist NET. Framework.

    Hello All,

    Most recently, I suddenly cannot find any instruments, drum loops OR open a new project upon starting.  These things are nowhere to be found and I cannot find where to open
    these files if they ARE on my computer.  Would appreciate some help with this. 

    THANKS MUCH!

     

    Press the letter "B" on your keyboard to open the Browser pane and locate the instrument TAP (the little piano button) all your instruments will be under that TAB in with in the browser pane. 

    You could also navigate to your sample libraries from there by going to the your computer drives and folders it has been saves too. 

  6. To some degree i guess. Personally for me its what punch the mic can take. All 3 mics I have mentioned above can take a punch with a choir. I also own the M-Audio Nova which is great for backing vocals and leads on RnB and Pop. The At2035 is a perfect mic on acoustic music. My approach on mics: I buy mics according to where it fits the best. I can take anyone of them and record my own voice and will sound great, but like I've said above, the NT1 is an all rounder!

    Does anyone actually have the beta then? 

    So far it is only NEXT thats in BETA mode that i know of. I'm scanning the forum and Cakewalk.com far and low for the Sonar release everyday almost. Nothing so far.

    Anyway, anyday now . . .

    I believe this is what got me into a mess before-not understanding of course. I would record a vocal and then undo recording. Repeating this process many times in the project.

    Guitars I normally get right the first time but still?

    What is the best practice if I want\need to do this until I am happy with the vocal? I will gladly watch\read any necessary video tutorials, etc. Need to know what to look for.

    sorry for the basic question again. Just trying to end my old bad habits and replace with the proper or most used approach.

    Thanks very much

    If it sounds right - it probably is. Certain leads need two takes stacked on top one another. Never overthink your work. If your vocals sounds right with the drums alone - take a wild guess what could be your problem . . . 

    Compare you vocals against each instrument. If you bring a riff in that throws your lead out, that riff dont belong there. Same goes for every other track. Best practice would be to find the instrument in the project that compliment your vocals. Sometimes you just need to replace the kick, snare, synth or keys with another of the same. Most times its the balance of the song too. So if it doesnt fit on track, but fits while you sing to it check these points.

    If you can’t figure Next out in 30 minutes you’re  on drugs. 
     

    All i needed to check for was how to insert effects. So, it took me 5 minutes to learn Next. As a song writer in EDM and HipHop i wouldnt use it as a main DAW - although its aimed towards EDM and Hiphop producers.

    John made it sound as though this was a multiple track project where he was editing one-of-many tracks for consolidation. 

    Of course, if there is only one track in the project,  then DUH! It won't play and there will be no audio engine enabled. 

    Again . . . Whether or not its a one track or a multiple track project its never a good idea to save the project as is. Trust me, I have walked that path before.

    Hi guys. I'm using a MXL v67 mic into an Audiobox USB96 interface. I know neither is great for self noise but the hiss is too excessive. So Ive been using a noise gate set low which kills the hum. However, when my singing trails off, the gate creates an annoying chattering effect.

    I've tried other mics and I get the same hiss. I haven't tried another interface yet though.

    Anyway, is this normal? Do u guys always have to use noise gates on ur mics or am I maybe just in need of a better interface?

    Btw, it is running thru a properly grounded outlet so I don't think that's my issue. Thanks!

     

    Move the mic away from the fan noise coming from your computer and AC.
