Mike, I don't have a controller so implementing HUI will not directly affect me at this time. Traditionally, Sonar\Cakewalk has embraced controller protocol support. HUI appears to be a comprehensive controller protocol that is enjoying new popularity among manufacturers.

@Chuck E Baby, I agree "common task" was a poor choice of words. Manage markers would likely be a better way to state it. On the other hand your response makes a good case for having a marker delete button in the Marker module. I find it more difficult to remember how to perform a task I rarely perform than task I frequently perform. While you may not notice the delete button whenever you don't need it, you will immediately notice the button is missing when you want to delete a marker, don't immediately remember how to delete a marker and there is no delete button. The three buttons across the top of the Markers module are "previous", "next" and "add". The "add" button has a "+" (plus or add) symbol in the bottom right area of the button. Divide the bottom half of the button into two, equal halves and place a "-" (minus) symbol on the bottom left area of the button and you have a multi-function button with easily identifiable functions. I've got to admit, I seldom disagree with your thoughts but in this case I do.

@SynthManDan, Thanks for taking time to update the thread. I'm really glad to read your issue is resolved and the program is working smoothly for you.

@Jake I have a difficult time assimilating information. I consider myself a perpetual beginner so I am always looking a videos that reinforce my knowledge. I like that your video doesn't dwell on installation or setup. I also like that your focus is more on midi rather than audio recording. Two slices of information that would help beginners and users new to Cakewalk by BandLab are the availability of the virtual midi keyboard and what steps are required to make the TTS-1 the default midi sound module. I hope you will consider slowing down the speed words are spoken in your sound track. Listen to the soundtracks of commercials to get an idea of a speaking cadence that allows the listener to absorb the message. Here is a useful rule-of-thumb: one printed page equals about 1 minute of dialogue. I think you may find that speaking at a cadence doesn't add time to a video but does increase comprehension.

@Chuck E Baby While your statement is true. that method may not be intuitive, obvious or fit into the workflow of a user. It's not unusual to have three or more ways to perform a task . If a user uses the Marker module then adding a delete button to the Marker module makes sense. Shouldn't the Marker module accommodate common tasks?

@Grem, Your welcome. If you lose the link don't panic. Click on the "Cakewalk by BandLab" tab located at the top of each forum webpage. Click on the second selection, "Support Center" to open the support page. On the support page click on the "Submit a request" link located on the top, right corner of the support page and you can submit a support request.

You can also report take lane quirks by submitting a support request. If you go that route then I'd include a link to this thread in the support request. https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

@SynthManDan I can understand you may not want to troubleshoot your issue in a forum thread. You can always open a support request and deal with resolving the issue in a more formal manner. Here is the support link: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new I would reference this thread, note that Noel has requested information and provide a link to the project experiencing the issue, in the support request. While it might be a pain to request support it is likely the only way the issue can get resolved. Getting your issue satisfactorily resolved helps you while whatever the developers find out will help them to make Cakewalk by BandLab a better DAW which helps all of us.

@Phil Raino Your issue reads as thogh there is a mismatch between the Windows audio, iRig I/O driver and the CbB audio settings that is corrupting your audio. My guess is you will find a difference in the audio sample rate (Redbook CD standard is 44.1Khz) or bit depth (Redbook CD standard is 16 bit). For whatever reason many users in other forums I frequent are reporting one or more of those settings are changed, generally after either a Windows or program update. Also a guess on my part but perhaps opening preferences forces CbB to release or reset the iRig I/O driver.

Here is a 2011 blog article with step-by-step instructions to create a CD with CD Text: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToWriteOrBurnACDCDRThatIncludesCDTextWithImgBurn.aspx An internet search indicates both Nero and Roxio software programs support the creation of CD Text. I don't use either program so I can't verify that information. ImgBurn is a donationware program that supports the feature. ImgBurn is mentioned in the blog article above. http://www.imgburn.com/

@sjoens This is a really good idea. I hope you will repost the idea in the Feedback Loop forum section so more users will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and support your idea. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

@Frans van den Berge, I agree so much with your idea I submitted the same request April 12, 2019. You can view the post here:

It is worth noting that the 64 bit audio engine you're asking about performs the internal math used to process audio data. At its most basic the audio engine is a calculator. As the audio engine processes audio it is adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Bigger numbers means bigger data sets. The bigger number an audio engine is composed of means more memory the engine can access, the more audio tracks it can handle at one time and the more accurate the resulting processed audio data will be. Ever see a calculator give an error message because the answer has more numbers than the calculator can compute or display? The largest raw number a 32 bit engine can manage is 4,294,967,295 which is a 10 digit, base ten number. The largest raw number a 64 bit engine can manage is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 which is a 19 digit, base ten number.

That's a really good video. It looks as though you put a lot of thought into it. It's difficult to determine what to cover versus what to leave out, isn't it. Silly question but inquiring minds want to know ❓❓ Did you record the audio track separately from the video? I'm asking because while there is a nice ratio of silence to voice over the speed each word is spoken is quite fast.

Google translation: First tutorial of the series on how to edit and mix in Cakewalk by Bandlab in Spanish. Smart idea. Hopefully people that are proficient in additional languages will follow your example. Google translation: Idea inteligente. Con suerte, las personas que dominan otros idiomas seguirán su ejemplo.

Here is a 1985 local news broadcast from WSM-TV in Nashville, TN. The broadcast predicts by 1990 the CD will be the primary source of audio for the consumer.

CosmicDolphin, I appreciate you taking time to educate me. Obviously your production needs vary greatly from mine. Thank you for taking time to give me a glimpse of your world.

Nice write up and photographs. Can you provide any "behind the scenes" information about the process? Was the interview performed in person, telephone, e-mail or chat? Who took the photographs? How did Music Tech discover your studio?

It is great that the developers had the foresight to have a checkbox that enables or disables display of the start screen. The checkbox gives all users the capability to personalize how the program opens.

@CosmicDolphin Forgive my ignorance in advance please. My projects are small so I don't have experience using busses or track folders. My question: Why is it easier to organize stems by folders instead of busses?

The system in place likely is not the best solution anyone can think up but it is the system presently in place. The forum software allows posts to be voted higher or lower. The software also allows threads to receive star ratings. The dual approach CAN be very powerful indicator of wants or irritants with a little forethought. For example, lets say a user posts a suggestion that BandLab Technologies embrace using the animated assistant, Clipit, to help new users. Clipit information link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant It's likely the idea would be polarizing because Clipit was polarizing. There also might be a lot of discussion because many people would have ideas and points-of-view to share. Stars could indicate how good the concept is while voting individual posts up and down would separate the ideas from the chafe.

@DenyT, I bet you'll get more plays once you post your link in the Songs section of the forum: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/30-songs/

@puddy Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of DAWs. Like you I had not used a full featured DAW until Cakewalk by BandLab was released. There's a lot to learn and so little time.

The bundle has eight plug-ins. From the Waves webpage: https://www.waves.com/bundles/oneknob-series#tab-includes I noticed the YouTube demo videos were published in 2014 so the plug-ins are five years old.
