You can either turn Snap off, or use a smaller note subdivision in Snap, either globally or in the PRV. Enabling Snap in the PRV will override the global Snap setting. Turning Snap off in the Control Bar also disables it in the PRV. You can enable/disable Snap and pick the notes you want notes to snap to in the Control Bar. You can enable/disable Snap in the PRV.

If you want to mute every instance of a specific MIDI note, that's pretty easy to do with either the PRV or the Event Inspector. If you want to mute some instances of a note but not others, you can do this in the PRV pretty easily. This would be done after the notes are recorded. Using the PRV and the Smart Tool, double click individual notes and change the velocity to 0. If you want to mute more than one note at a time, use the PRV and the Smart Tool to select Multiple notes and enter a Velocity of 0 in the Event Inspector. You can also use the Select Tool instead of the Smart Tool to do the same thing. If you want to mute some notes while playing your MIDI guitar, if your guitar can transmit each string on its own MIDI channel you could use a MIDI pedal to mute notes as long as you could attach the pedal to a single MIDI channel.

Move the Undocked Track Inspector up until the blue hi-lite disappears and leave it there. Now when you use the 'i' key to show the Inspector it will open to the same spot with no blue hi-lite.

In the track Edit Filter click the down arrow to select Clip Automation and Gain. Clarify

Is the Beats headphone a USB device? Are you using another device as an audio interface?

'Shift+f' is the shortcut for Fit Content. Pressing 'f' resizes tracks vertically but not horizontally.

Does NUDGE have any effect on the notes? This looks like a good use for it if it does.

It is detecting the SPLAT settings on the computer you are installing it on.

Would it work if he created a .wav file with the name of the missing audio and put it where Cakewalk is looking for it? That might stop that annoying missing audio message if nothing else.

I can reproduce that view by right-clicking and dragging the mouse cursor up or down in the area shown below. Where you right click in that area makes a big difference in how the notes display. You may have to Right-Click that area and select Fit Content for that to work.

What David Baay posted is good advice. There are only so many things that can go wrong when using the metronome so you just have to start at the beginning and go down the chain to make sure every setting is correct. That you can hear neither the audio metronome or the Midi metronome in some projects suggests that one of your settings is wrong. Maybe not, but you have to check every step to make sure. It would help if you posted screencaps of your metronome and bus settings from a project you can't hear the metronome in. This is what my default metronome settings looks like. What does yours look like? Rather than explain it, please post a screencap. It makes things a lot easier for everyone concerned. This is what my default metronome bus setting looks like. What does yours look like? To help identify the problem those settings are the first thing to check.

Sometimes it is the simplest things that vex us the most.

Right-Click the folder to get a menu and see if Lock Height is enabled. That will cause the problem you are having.

I have never used this but Audacity has a tool called Clip Fix. "Clip Fix... attempts to reconstruct clipped regions by interpolating the lost signal. It is only likely to be effective for repairing lightly clipped audio" There are several YouTube videos showing how to do this, Here is one of them.

Yeah, I was thinking of people that don't have software that can generate noise, or tones. I got into that stuff decades ago when I was making stereo audio files to listen to while doing relaxation exercises. Years ago I read in Omni magazine that if you used headphones to listen to tones 4 Hz apart it would cause 'beats' inside the brain that facilitated relaxation, so I went through a period where I did that a lot. The concept is known as 'Binaural Beats' now. The number of cycles that the two tones are apart is supposed to have different effects on the brain. I can't vouch for any of that but it sure helped me fall asleep. Now that is something a person could do with Cakewalk.

There are plenty of audio clips of white noise on the Internet so if you can't generate your own it would be easy enough to find and download one at the desired sample rate. Here is a 40 second long, 16 bit, 48 kHz mono audio clip of white noise I made with Adobe Audition. white noise 40 seconds.wav

Measure long percussion notes? Or a measure full of shorter percussion notes? If the former, the Event Inspector can make all the selected percussion notes as short as you want. I generally use a Duration of 84 for percussion notes when I don't, or can't, use a drum map.

That clears that up. It's an interesting process. Too bad Cakewalk can't generate white noise like Adobe Audition can (which can also generate pink and brown noise). That would make it much easier.

I'm not sure I understand that. Wouldn't it be the other way around? Run white noise through a cabinet? What am I missing?

The MIDI designation of middle c is different from the middle c designated in scientific pitch notation. While the 'normal' middle c is C4, the MIDI designation is C5, or note number 60, but both are the same pitch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(musical_note)#Octave_nomenclature

I tested that out before posting so It worked for me as I described. Only one PRV window at a time can show just the notes from one track at a time. The method Scook posted, which I was not familiar with, seems to work just fine and would be the best method for using multiple PRV windows that show only the notes from a single track.

Are the 32 bit plugins located in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory? C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins

Try looking at your assigned keyboard shortcuts to see if there's something there that is affecting your startup sate. Go to Edit/Preferences/Customization/Keyboard Shortcuts. In the Search box type hide. The results will display automatically. The default area is Global Bindings but you can also search through the other areas. I don't have any keystrokes assigned to a 'hide' function so I assume that is the default. I would explore all the options to see if any keystroke has been assigned to a 'hide tracks' command. Also search for Close, because Open/Close the Folder is a command that a keystroke can be assigned to. These are grasping at straws suggestions but it's good to rule them out if they are not the problem.

I couldn't remember it either, even though I use that tool all the time. That's why I keep shortcuts to the Reference File and Keyboard Shortcuts on my desktop. It's much more reliable than my memory.
