Another recommendation would Orange Tree guitars. Orange tree does very good samples and somewhat specializes in Guitar sampling.

To Split the clip - First select the track by dbl clicking the block next to the Track number. *zoom out to make sure the whole length of the track is highlighted. Place the indicator line at the 5th measure - Hit the "S" key, that will split the clip. Simply select the clip ( to the right ) of the split point and hit delete. This link has a basic guide :
-
The best bet is to just undo it immediately if possible. I would try to slip edit the clip to it's left to see if it contains original data before bouncing the whole track to clips.

I saw them open for Aerosmith ( Toys in the attic tour ) . I think they were barely in their 20's. Best to friends and family of Neil Peart.

Thanks much - I can't believe I didn't come across this. This also sets a loop point automatically to the selection. Would be nice to optionally not set a loop point, but this gets me there quickly.
-
Those functions are all relevant and I use them regularly - But they also take visual focus from the track view to operate, it's that short interruption that I'm wishing I could solve. Typically, I'm focused on short specific regions for detailed waveform editing, setting loop points doesn't trigger playback from the loop start time and multiple repeats on short regions is really disruptive. It would be useful to make a selection and invoke a single key command to play the region a single time and allowing rapid resetting of regions for comparing similar sections. It seems so basic - that I think I'm just missing the command somehow and I've been messing with Cakewalk for about 30 years.
-
Is there a way to simply and quickly playback a region defined by the time line selection ? With out needing to set a loop point or specifically set start and stop point ? I was looking to see of there was a way to Key bind such a thing - but I didn't find a way to actually just play ( one off ) from the time line selection. I'm looking for very quick, fast way to mouse swipe a section in the time line and trigger playback. Seems like an obvious capability. Or- maybe it's there and my old work habits are blinding me to it ?

Sustain pedal only works in the preferecnce menu?
RBH replied to Sofa's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
You might want to read up on the " echo " ( or monitor )feature in a midi track. This essentially forwards incoming midi commands to the midi hardware outputs and / or software VST midi inputs. -
Harrison AVA Mastering EQ - crashes CbB
RBH replied to Chris Towers's topic in Instruments & Effects
I had the same issues with AVA as well. I think I just sort of gave up on it working in CbB. It seemed it worked for a short time ( I bought it originally a couple of years back ). It was a really effective plug too - sounded great. But wasn't worth chasing it any further. Though it's been a while, I'm going to look for the license file again just confirm that it's still in place. -
I'm curious if you remember using any particular guitar pedals - and what they'd be, I swear I hear some familiar distortion tones in there. Home recording in the early 80's was some of the best of times.

Also - if you right click and drag to the left with in the Velocity pane in PRV you can select just that range of velocities " visually "( similar to setting the transform window). Just those notes will be selected - you can then drag them to where you want, or use the event inspector - etc. This is really handy when there high density of notes such as chords. You can address the whole track with one sweep.
-
Also, you can select the appropriate note via the keyboard graphic, this will high lite all of the same notes in the track and grab any velocity bar in the velocity screen and drag up or down.
-
It maybe worth cleaning all connectors and switches on the mackie and your outboard gear as well. I've had some pieces of gear for over 30 years and they can oxidize and contaminate over time. I've bought and fixed supposed " broken " gear on more than a few occasions just by cleaning contacts and re-seating ribbon connectors.
-
I use the event list just to see if there are oddball controllers or program changes - which are not readily visible in PRV or track view. Also - it's one place that you check for duplicate notes that reside on top of each other. "legacy users" [aka, "old-timers"] are so "old-fashioned" - Hey I resemble that remark
-
I just updated today and it appears to be working just fine. This latest update however was the most difficult one yet for me. I'm think my local ISP is having issues with bad connects. It took 4 attempts for me get it.

I have the same amp. Mine has OEM versions of EVm12 L 's. They will make your amp feel like it's dbl the weight though. Unfortunately, my amp needs to see a pro for repairs. It was a basket case and I chose to do a full re-cap and tube which got it functioning - but it has some distortion to it now and I'm not savvy enough with repairs to bring it back to spec. They are amazing amps when working correctly. Congrats. Oh, and the current internet puffery about converting it to black face specs and bypassing the master volume and changing the BIAS circuits is garbage. IMHO - Keep it original if you can. I've done a few speaker re-cones and it's an interesting project if you're into that sort of thing. They're not difficult to do yourself. I think it would be worth re coning the gauss.

You should maybe copy this inquiry to the feedback forum or to Noel directly.

MIDI: Possible to edit time values for groups of notes?
RBH replied to Michael McBroom's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Just to add to the bag of tricks - I discovered a way to select notes from the PRV velocity pane that I didn't know existed. Maybe it's been there for 20 years - but hey I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes. I found that I can right click and swipe right to left to lasso notes of certain velocity value ( much like setting the transform window ) and this will select just notes of those velocity value ranges. This proved really useful for running a Cal routine of a group of mid level velocities that I was able to pick across the entire track. I used it to run the vary velocities to randomize velocity values for a drum sampler with a high count of multy samples. -
You can do an audio gain or reduction per clip by holding the ctrl key and dragging upward or downward with in the clip. Bounce to clips will render the gain offset. I use a very simple tuner ( G-tune ) and place it first in an effects bin. It would be useful to have a readily available one that you could quickly drag into a track. That's one use for track presets though - just have it already assigned. I'm not sure how I would use a tap tempo. How would you use one?

MIDI: Possible to edit time values for groups of notes?
RBH replied to Michael McBroom's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The Event Inspector is a very efficient way to accomplish either track or global project midi edits, - as well selection and group edits. It's a midi editing super weapon. -
I'm hoping the volume will chill out after the holidays. Or- better yet, how about we all bill them for soliciting. lol. That would level the playing field a bit. Probably take care of farcebook too.

Vinyl, LPs, Turntables Oh Boy! Listening to analog is joy!
RBH replied to Notes_Norton's topic in The Coffee House
I listened to AJA awhile back on Vinyl . No question that the record album mix is THE essential reference to the correct levels , dynamics and equalization. I listened to several other albums from around the same period as well. It's not about the fidelity or sonic purity or anything else - it just that the medium is how the producer engineers and artist initially intended the output to be, and that's the best it can be IMHO. -
I just thought of this after reading a thread about tempo maps. Feature request to be able to over lay a tempo map on top of a maximized midi ( notes view ) or a single maximized audio track would potentially kick some serious butt. I spend a lot of time viewing the time line back and forth between edit pages trying to align and tweeze a tempo map into appropriate proportion. Again - having a universal horizontal scaling feature between any time line dependent edit page would be very useful.

I thought this was interesting related to recent inquiries about getting older Cake content . Edit - Sorry to say this deal ends about 5 minutes after posting this. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?source=3TP9MGL&dtm_em=27bba1038af2973890ab351638530d6f

Are you sure you're not holding the CTRL key ? I'm just saying I inadvertently do this when nudging audio tracks or doing short drags. Mine are clips hidden behind clips though and not new discrete tracks being created unless a slop the the mouse up and down a bit. Your description sounds like a bug - mine is certainly just being careless.
