'Measures' reset on mid-song tempo change possible
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi msmcleod, Your first suggestion seems to do the trick and seems simplest. The 2nd method which was also mentioned by SteveC above gives me these messages: Could be user error. Thanks! -
'Measures' reset on mid-song tempo change possible
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi Glenn, For whatever reason Insert Meter in the lower have of the dialog box appears to be grayed out at the location I want to place it. It seems to be available only on the current measure downbeats (18:, 19:, 20:) but not in between those times. -

Thanks Glenn, I'll try that. -
'Measures' reset on mid-song tempo change possible
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi. I might have posted too soon. I tried to do what msmcleod suggested and I either misunderstood and did it incorrectly or it's not behaving how I would like. I'm attaching screen shots : The SLOW section starts at 19:02:00. I tried to do what you suggested but I still see the Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp behavior going from 19:01 to 20:01 etc... as usual instead of to 20:02:00 which is what I want to now consider one new (slow 80 bpm) measure. My new SLOW section could have been an even more random time like 19:14:45. The point is I'm trying to create a magic new rule for Cakewalk saying this is where your new measure starts and I haven't quite succeeded. Please let me know if this works for you or if I'm doing anything incorrectly. Thanks. -
'Measures' reset on mid-song tempo change possible
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Thanks for your help yet again msmcleod. I think this is the key part of what you wrote: "Set Measure Beat at Now" I'm going to try using that and see if I can pull off what I'm trying to do. Looks good so far. It's kind of like I just want a measure 'reset' in the middle of the song at any point I chose. At that 'reset' point the new measure count begins. The actual tempo should be irrelevant (I believe). It's to make sure the Ctrl-PgDn strokes work correctly. Thanks again. -
I navigate quickly through my songs with Ctrl-PgDn and Ctrl-PgUp as well as moving from marker to marker. The problem arises when there's a tempo change or something odd that moves from the original downbeat later on in the song. I had this problem before and now I've got it again on a new song so I thought I'd see if there's a way to do what I want. The song switches from 85 bpm to 80 bpm about a minute into the tune. There's a downbeat and silence and a dramatic brass sting to signal the new tempo change to come. Then when we hit the downbeat at the new tempo I've inserted I'd love to have my Ctrl-PgDn navigation work again. The problem is it's in a random spot time wise and no longer relates to the original starting point of the song and the 85 bpm tempo there. I can put a marker on the downbeat to the new tempo section but I can't do my Ctrl-PgDn magic to quickly navigate that section of the song accurately. I use that method to quickly find downbeats for the correct locations for cut/copy/paste operations. And finally, when I go back to the original tempo I need everything to work again there. But it may not line up exactly with the original song's measures. If if this seems confusing or anyone needs more clarification on what I'm trying to do please let me know. I know I could record the song in two workplaces and assemble it later but that's a drag. Thanks.

Decent light headphones that can help prevent room noise
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
These may be a bit expensive for what I'm looking for: Neumann NDH 20 Thanks for all the suggestions. I read some reviews and looked carefully at the weight of each set. Also, some of the headphones aren't available currently where I live in Thailand. I took my Sony headphone on a recent road trip and enjoyed using them so I may just keep it simple and just try the MDR-7506 headphones. I've always enjoyed the sound of Sony headphones for some reason. I like the way the bass sounds. I actually brought my MDR-V600 headphones here when I moved from the States 24 years ago. They're now worn out and don't sound as good as before. I may also consider trying some of those suggested above probably starting with the HD 200 Pro phones. Thanks. -
Decent light headphones that can help prevent room noise
Sven replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I think I should give these a try: Sennheiser HD 200 Nothing wrong with the MDR-7510 headphones and they're already packed for my 3 day trip to Chiang Rai tomorrow. I'm just always looking for suggestions. I've lived in Thailand for 24 years and it's another world far, far away from the recording studios I used to frequent in the States in NYC and Boston. And there's a high import tax rates on anything you have shipped here. Any price tag you see in Bangkok or Chiang Mai where I live is much higher than the bargain prices you see in the States or other countries. Lovely food here beaches, culture....................high headphone prices! Or anything involving computers or electronics. But the food is great... Thanks again. -
I've got some ATH-M50 headphones that I use in my studio that sound decent but squeeze my ears a bit hard and aren't fun for long sessions. I love my Koss Porta Pro headphones for when I do exercise. They hold the bass nicely and are incredibly light. I'm looking for recommendations for headphones that sound decent that I can take on road trips to use with my laptop but shut off some of the room noise (my kids!) better than the Koss headphones. Anything $50-$100 would be fine. My Sony MDR-7510 headphones aren't too heavy and don't squeeze the ears too hard so I can use them for the time being. I don't buy headphones very often so I'm interested in any suggestions from people who know the latest choices. Thanks.

Keyboard shortcut to toggle velocity display on/off

I have this working on my home PC but now I'm on the road with my laptop and can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to bind Shift-V to toggle 'show velocity' on and off without success. I think my home computer has a different binding to accomplish this but I can't seem to find it. Do anyone know what I should be binding to if this isn't it?: Thanks!

Hi. I didn't realize that 'folding' equaled 'toy'. I guess nobody's made a professional folding keyboard yet so I'm returning the Finger Dance 61 to Amazon for a full refund and moving on. My kids have a roll-up keyboard which is a bit of a joke (no velocity) but they enjoy it. A toy. I bought a M-Audio Keyrig 49 about twenty years ago and it served me well until I moved on to my M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 which I've enjoyed using the last couple of years. I think I'll just order their M-Audio Keystation 49 MK3 and give up on the folding option. I can throw it in the back of the car and know that I'll be able to record decent demos on the road. If anyone knows a better choice than the M-Audio model please let me know. I'm not an expert on keyboards but the M-Audio seems to satisfy my needs. Thanks again for your help.

This one looks almost identical but has better reviews for some reason. It also costs less: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJDF263M?tag=track-ect-usa-1995552-20&linkCode=osi&th=1 Has a 9.3 rating here: https://www.bestproductsreviews.com/folding-piano-keyboards?targetid=dsa-19959388920&matchtype=&device=c&campaignid=20096873220&creative=657717749967&adgroupid=144119552330&feeditemid=&loc_physical_ms=21039&loc_interest_ms=&network=g&devicemodel=&placement=&keyword=$&target=&aceid=&adposition=&trackid=us_all_top_1_1&mId=407-132-4411&trackOld=true&lpv=50130&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5-uuBhDzARIsAAa21T_JH_TXZigvqdosSbEPLUrP5oagtHX8h9mRiZSAdSiFJE7vzGvcB1IaAisXEALw_wcB I'm going to spend some more time researching.

Hi gustabo, Do you know of a better 61 foldable piano choice? I haven't ordered it yet and it doesn't have to be from Amazon. The price is right for this on and it's not supposed to replace my studio keyboards as far as quality. But I would I like to get the best I can for about $150 or less. I open to suggestions. Thanks.

I think I'm going to give up and return this keyboard to Amazon. One of the LED lights doesn't work so you can't clearly see program numbers so that's another reason to return it. I'm running out of time before my 2 month trip so I think I'll have to take a gamble and maybe order this one: https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Weighted-Portable-Electronic-Beginners/dp/B09Y21PWDM?th=1 This looks encouraging: Connector TypeBluetooth, MIDI USB Hardware InterfaceBluetooth, USB, HDMI and this: ?【Bluetooth & USB MIDI Function】 The 61 keys foldable keyboard has built in wireless connection, connect with piano games apps such as Garage Band, Perfect Piano and Pop Piano, or online music lessons, Make piano learning more fun. Also you can use the midi keyboard as a speaker. The music midi keyboard allows you to connect computer and other intelligent devices to edit music and create your own music. Thanks for your help.
