Mp3-conversion - level change?
Heinz Hupfer replied to Kalle Rantaaho's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
HI:) I do not use MP3s, but I sometimes got some to edit them for some performances... (stupid not to use waves then:( ) But the'yre always totally overloaded and/or overcompressed. I'm pretty sure the conversion gives 3-4 dB of more level. All frequencies above 15 kHz are totally cut off, what can be seen in an Analyser. Maybe this level raising is only affected if the Bitrate is too low, so better you use 320 kBit instead of 128! Much better it will be to use the Wave File! Before Conversion I would Master/Mix it down to -5 dB and then convert them to at least 240 kBit. Bassman. -

HI:) You could do much more with the 8 Faders if you use Shift, Long_Press or Double Press with 1 or more Buttons. Perhaps 2 Buttons would do a lot more on Double Press and Long_Press, so it would be a Shift 1, Shift 2, Shift 3, Shift 4. Not that complicated to do.... Perhaps EQ in Normal Mode and Compressor with Shift 1, then the rest with Shift 2 a.s.o. Greetings;) Bassman.

HI again:) So I tried to upload a video to Youtube, but it's very unsharp, now here a link to OneDrive: (For better Quality download the video!) https://1drv.ms/u/s!Al2mKojzOW0Mp8gwICzN6G1iQFVsPA?e=ak2xIh What I do: 1. Open ProChannel and Editing Gain, Q and Frequency, then Compressor, Tube and Console Emulator, Sliders and Buttons for 4 Banks of Novation 2. Change Tracks 3. Open Display and do the same You can see in the first row of the display: a) Track, Name, Parameter Name, Parameter Value b) Rotors 1-8 c) Values Rotors 1-8 d) 9-16, 17-24 e) Measure, Markers f) Sliders and Values g) Buttons and States Reaction is a bit slow, but this is the Capturing Software I think! 4. For a short time you can see the 3 other Banks of Preset 1 (of 4) a) same b) Input Gain 1-8, Pan 1-8 and Volume 1-8 same with Sliders and Buttons 5. I close ProChannel and you can see that the PC of the selected track is edited with only the display 6. Switching through the tracks and the Track names and numbers are changing 7. Close PC and open Multidock and 8 Tracks PC 8. Editing 8 Tracks simultaniously now in my Preset 2: a) Bank 1 Bass b) Bank 2 LMF c) Bank 3 HMF d) Bank 4 HF 9. Buttons for 4 Banks (With Shift Button) 10 Compressor with Sliders 11. Closing PCs 12. All Parameters in the Display, no need to open the ProChannels Just pause the video to see details or look at my preset Post. Greetz;) Bassman.

HI:) To 1 again: The Bakers must have repaired the Shortcut. Tested it at the moment. But..... You have to first make the track active (Click on the name). Then select the track(Click on the number) and then use the Keyboard Shortcut. You can assign any Keyboard Shortcut in the Preferences--> Console Shortcuts --> View ProChannel (or something like that). So for the Shortcut to work you can do in the AZC Preset. 1. Focus the Track View 2. Make the Track Active (Select Strip +1 Volume in the preset) 3. Use "," to select the track 3a. Shortcut CTRL+I to open PC in Track View 4. Move the Focus to console View (I have Shortcuts for Next/Previous TAB, means I Press CTRL+SHIFT+Right and then CTRL+SHIFT+Left, then Console is in Focus) 5. Use your Shortcut to open PC That's weird:( So much better to not have to open the PC and use the AZ Display! Looking for Screencapture Software then I'll send you a video.... Greetz:) Bassman.

Hi? 1. I've tried to find out how to do this. The only say is to use the Keyboard Shortcut,but ig only works if the Focus is on this small arrow. No way to switch through the parameters especially to this parameter. I do change the Pro Channel Parameter without opening the PC modul. I have all parameters on the AZ Display! I can open this with a Button LongPress. Much faster? 2. I don't think this is in SDK, never seen this. 3. I have not integrated this in my preset yet,but I'm looking into it. Tell you this tomorrow. Send you a s small video from working with PC Modul in my preset tomorrow too and I can help you doing this with your preset! Link to my preset, not yet finished,IM still working on the parameter display... Greetz? Bassman

HI:) For me it's always 3-4 seconds to switch, doesn't matter how large the project is, so I don't use Screensets anymore! Bassman.

[Solved] "Reset controllers when playback stop" --> NOT used Midi Controllers
Heinz Hupfer replied to Heinz Hupfer's question in Q&A
HI again:) OK! It works:) 1. Make an Instrument File (LaunchControlXL.ins for me) with following Content and save it to ..\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Instruments: ============================ .Patch Names .Note Names .Controller Names .Instrument Definitions [LaunchControlXL] NoControllerReset=1 Control=LaunchControlXL Patch[*]=1..8 Key[*,*]=LaunchControlXL ============================ 2. In the preferences-->Midi-->Instruments-->Port/All Channels of the Controller-->Define--> Import (The made .ins File) Now this Controller is not resetted on Settings--> Project-->More Midi-->"Reset Controller when playback stop" enabled. That's so nice, why have I not found it earlier? Great;) Bassman. -
[Solved] "Reset controllers when playback stop" --> NOT used Midi Controllers
Heinz Hupfer replied to Heinz Hupfer's question in Q&A
HI:) @Nigel Mackay I'm in contact with Alexey, he has had no solution for this problem but blocking all incoming controllers from Cakewalk inside AZController. The problem is then I cannot use buttons as "normal" midi buttons to play drums for example.... Perhaps he did not know this "NoControllerReset=1". I'm trying out some things.....back soon:) Bassman. -
[Solved] "Reset controllers when playback stop" --> NOT used Midi Controllers
Heinz Hupfer replied to Heinz Hupfer's question in Q&A
HI:) @Nigel Mackay I only use this midi controller with AZController (Midi In/Out). But where to put an Instrument File? There are no Sounds, Note Names or Patches, it's just a Midi Controller with some User Presets. Do I have to insert a few Lines into the Master.ins? Normally you use Instrument definitions in a Midi Track, but I don't use a midi Track for the controller, so I cannot put the Instrument File to....... Bassman. -
AZ Controller Preset for Novation LaunchControl XL
Heinz Hupfer replied to Heinz Hupfer's topic in Instruments & Effects
HI:) @Michael Graetzer It's not that easy. You can "learn" the functions, but you have to repeat that on every startup. In AZController or too in ACT Controller or Generic Interface it is saved or fixed. The most possibilities you have with the AZController Plugin. Don't use this preset here, cause I adapted it from an BCR2000 Preset, so the colors for example are not used and a lot of functions do not work like on the BCR. I've made a complete new preset for the LaunchControl XL: Almost finished, I do "Bug" fixing at the moment and on working with it I do change some functions or delete or add them for smoother working. I'm now on Display to see what's going on when using some Rotor, Slider or Button, but you can always download the latest version of it. Greetz;) Bassman. -
[Solved] "Reset controllers when playback stop" --> NOT used Midi Controllers
Heinz Hupfer posted a question in Q&A
HI:) I found following: ============================================ NoControllerReset=n Any port/channel using an instrument definition that has a NoControllerReset flag set to 1 does not receive a "zero controller" message upon stop. You can enter this variable in any instrument definition by using a text editor, such as Windows Notepad. The variable should be entered directly below an instrument definition. For example: [Yamaha Promix 01 Control Chan] NoControllerReset=1 Control=Yamaha Promix 01 Control Chan Patch[*]=Yamaha Pro Mix 01 This parameter should be used when it is undesirable to zero/reset controllers when playback stop, such as when using an external effects processor that uses MIDI controllers for real-time parameter control, or when using a digital mixer as a MIDI control surface (and not using the generic control surface plug-in) ============================================ How can I use this to my attached midi controllers not to RESET when "Reset Controllers on Stop" is enabled? Thanks;) Bassman. -
Hi:) If I set Nudge to Note value "1 bar" it works nudging left and right, but if I set it to "Snap settings" and choose 1 bar for snap it don't! "A Whole" does work. Can somebody confirm? Thanks;) Bassman.

Hi? The most of this 432 Hz article is not true! For example Mozarts Tuneforque had 426 Hz, not 432. Every Composer had a differe t tuning , raising up to 456 Hz for Richard Wagner. Phytagoras tunes his instrument in perfect fifths, which doesn't work well for our ears, cause it produces a small frequency difference with the last fifth to the starting note. There' s nothing known about his tuning! Si I'm pretty sure it wasn't 432 Hz for an A or what he called it..... So forget about this, it doesn't even sound better, just deeper with less overtones. This esoteric discussion is just bullsh.... Bassman

Why Cakewalk creates a large number of wave files
Heinz Hupfer replied to Cédric Lawde's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi? Very strange! Could you try to delete these _ before Caches or give another directory for it on the original place on drive C? Without _ at the beginning!!!! Sometimes Dirs with an underscore at the beginning are seen as hidden and perhaps Cakewalk can't find it correctly....and writes these picture files anywhere else. Which vst are you usi g if you have this behaviour? Bassman. -
HI:) Love that groove;) Nice! Bassman.

Any way to make Novation Automap work??
Heinz Hupfer replied to winkpain's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
HI:) @devonaire45 It's definitely no dangerous site! I'm on the forum (with lots of other Cakewalk Users) since 2015 and never had any problems. I visited azslow in Heidelberg this summer and can for sure confirm that he is not "dangerous" ? https://community.norton.com/en/forums/dangerous-website-blocked-problem It is obviously blocking non-dangerous websites! @winkpain I can help you writing a preset if you want to use AZController Greetz;) (Underneath my latest preset) Bassman. -
HI:) It would be nice to start CAL Scripts in SDK and not have to bind Shortcuts to. For example: In the video I do Selection moving by a Rotor and for every Snap Setting for every step I have to run a CAL Script and as I go down from bar, half, quarter, eighth, 16th, 32nd, 64th, 128th and Snap Off its getting slower and slower. Should be as fast as you can move the Selection with the mouse. You can see the hourglass as it starts the CALs.....must not be like that:) In the second video I move the Selection with the mouse with Snap Off. The Rotor should work with that speed! Bassman.
