It sounds like you're " merging " clips instead of tracks. Make sure you are in sound on sound mode. Do you see the notes in the piano roll view after the drag ? I would check that - in the sections you are not hearing - make sure there notes there. ....... .bounce to clip after the moves.

I purchased Sonar Pro just a few months before the Gibson " thing " . That was an upgrade from Sonar 5 ! But - I made it a clean install at the time. I do wish I could at least upgrade to the original Splat version to get the added pro channels modules. I didn't want to take on all the added content at the time because I thought the loops and stuff were not worth it. I do wish CbB would make Cake updated to at least Splat version for plug-in content. That would put all new installations at a common starting point and we could then share pre-sets etc now that Pro Modules can save presets. What say Ye CbB ?

That would be a great display option. I would similarly like to be able to accurately display a ghosted tempo map overlay in relation to the timeline . I think the capability to syncing horizontal zoom scaling between various windows would be a huge workflow improvement

That Rabbit is dynamite. Best movie ever.

Thanks Scook - what I notice is when clicking on a help tab within the program- such as a tab in a preferences set-up page for example, it's directed to open the old chm. Is this a hold over from my Sonar Pro migration ?

Currently my offline help file is referenced at build # 23.10.0 ( which is from the last paid version - I think. )Is there a way to get the current build # 26.5.0 to update for the ( in program ) or offline help file? I have the latest reference guide , and both of Craigs excellent tips.

When I realized that I actually used about 10% of the 790 plugs I have installed - life becomes much simpler. My soon to be new DAW will be much much leaner. - and of course this will let comfortably repeat the same path of aquiring a whole new batch of 711 useless plugs in the future.

I think the idea being posited is that the controls in a stereo pan do not need to be equal ratios as they change left to right. But you can define power levels independently between left and right. It gives a more realistic representation of a stereo field.

I would add a different color scheme for MIDI meters. At a glance - it would be an improvement to discern midi from audio meters immediately , like making the MIDI display a selectable color.

Thanks very much for these.

It wouldn't be an actual stereo track - but you can bounce to track and change the interleave in a couple of different ways. Your track inputs should allow you to choose left - right or stereo. You are likely selecting stereo input on the track input - and it's trying to record a stereo track. If you select either input 1 or input 2 related to which input you're actually using - it should record a mono track.

Thanks for that info. I wasn't sure if the cross grade was based on IK products or a competitors.

Does anyone know where to find details on the cross grade version of Hammond B-3x ? I couldn't find any info on the JJR site.

Nice Tutorial - thanks.

I opened a Melodyne clip by both selecting a discreet clip as well as doing a selection within a fully bounced track. Both required that I re-select the blobs icon in Melodyne. I only needed to do that once per session. I didn't have a need to re-fresh the melodyne window by closing and reopening.

I use Melodyne Studio - So I'm not sure if the interface is the same for essentials - that being said - it looks as though the track itself in Melodyne is not selected, this might be why it isn't showing up initially, but does show after refreshing. I know in studio even with multiple tracks -they sometimes are not selected initially. I'm not sure what state of selection needs to be when first instantiating Melodyne. Maybe the track needs to be selected and not only the clip. I will test this later today to see if I can toggle different states.

Don't show that one to Pete Townsend - the dude would sport a stump.

I can't tell by the photo - have you turned snap off?

I was thinking of Keybind for the timeline selection - but ALT selection then auto splitting is great. Thanks for that ! I hadn't stumbled on that before, but I bet it's in the fine print somewhere : ) I was thinking more from a macro view of the track to reduce key strokes. This definitely does that. and as John Bradley says making the selection at higher zoom would benefit from the key bind. The difference I see is that ALT select does not allow you to fine tune the selection a bit - you need to hold the ALT key and do the select as a single sweep - I also like to set punch points when zoomed in and there the Keybind would be useful too.

Look to see that your ( KEY +/_ ) in the track inspector is set to zero.

Thanks for the info on Win 7 incompatibility. I was just debating upgrading my Studio v4 to V5 - I haven't migrated to Win 10 yet.

I believe this would speed up workflow in any number of editing scenarios.

Amps and PRE-amp distortion signals are additive by nature. I think rsinger has it correct to hit the input to the sim pre-amp at an appropriate level defined by its input indicator. That's how I approach it using S-Gear, but - it's about the only amp sim I get along with. S-gear also has different gain structure dependent on the input signal - I would bet this is the same with all well designed sims. I typically treat S-gears output level as what to use when setting a channel input to unity. Any level increase caused by a sub-processor with-in the amp would hopefully be there by design to drive the signal correctly. Most have mix controls if not separate input and output levels.

I'm tempted to upgrade - but yes the Studio upgrade is a little pricey. I use it for just short segment editing and don't really utilize many of the features - that being said loading multiple vocal tracks for subtle tuning is pretty amazing. The new features are pretty significant though, looks like some major work went into separating sibilant chunks.

Rico - Fantastic work with Kaiko Matsui. It's been many years since I've seen her band Live, hope to again soon, hope to see you then as well. That is my forte style of music, and I am really glad such talented folks are keeping it alive and well and carrying it forward. SWEET !
