Lol. I meant something like clicking on the Arranger section and selecting Export to Wave or Save as .cwp. I know I can selected and go through the export toolbar or advanced export. Just a thought. I don't really need it.

When ...

And then ...

It would be nice to be able to just click on an arranger section and export it right there and then to a file.

Older one's will slowly roll off as new ones are added assuming you add new ones. I don't think you can directly remove them. Maybe the developers or Scook can comment. You do have the ability to pin certain ones to the Startup (splash) screen by selecting the list view and clicking on pin symbol.

Even at a cost, Cakewalk is competitive with all other DAWs and worth the effort to learn it.

Oh sure, drag me into it as the poster boy for failure! Scook said it right - if it would work, they would feature it. Most if any don't.

Ok, I'll get a buddy to send me the file. Thanks!

Current early release and I have Sonar 8 and updates (but not to 8.5.)

I accidentally overwrote a prochannel preset. Is there a way to restore/recover it (the .pcp file.) I only have Cakewalk running on one machine. I looked at the older Sonar CDs and there doesn't appear to be a specific selection for the presets. I can ask a friend to send me the file but I was curious is its available on the installation somehow. Any insight appreciated?

I think because it could constantly vary. At the beginning of projects I often don't notice it but I know it will build up. I did suggest a switch to automatically defeat FX and PDC during record (so I don't forget) but it wasn't accepted.

Just leave the magazine at Witt's End

Well, you've posted it in the feature request forum so let's see what the developers say about it. They seriously entertain useful features and improvements.

At some point the faders need to be faders and not amplitude modulation at a fast rate. But you are certainly free to want them to act in a specific way. Noel's point about processing load is valid (in my opinion) and vibrato should be left to a plugin. There are just better and more accurate ways to add vibrato to a track. Drawing it on the volume automation appears to me to be a rather tedious method. Have you tried Reaper or Pro Tools? They might better facilitate your wants.

Wave function - good idea. II need to remember that!

Any controller/patch changes in the events? Is there a patch change in the track that is overriding the patch you are manually setting in the plugin window?

You are trying to get vibrato using a fader that can't move fast enough. Imagine a fader on a mixing board and trying to move it fast enough for vibrato. It's not the right solution for your needs. Add a vibrato plugin in the FX bin then automate the dry/wet where you need it. I think you've been successful in the past but you've run into the limits of what you can do with a fader.

Are the velocities really low values like you very lightly pressed the keys? At low velocities the sound can change dramatically. Highlight the clip, right click and select View Events. Look at the velocity values in the 5th column from the left (I think.)

So it's like it's in Comp mode while you are just editing/appending one lane (the main lane.) Do you know when it creates a new lane?

Thanks, yeah I get it now.

Nice idea though.

"You can clear and reinstall the driver"

I'm not clear what you are wanting. In Cakewalk, a double click on most things will center or zero the control. Many plugins don't follow this action though. Midi velocity goes to 0, volume goes to 101, pan goes to center or 0. Wave volume goes to 0.0, pan to 0 or center and gain goes to 0.

Turn on loop and paste something? Edit: Just tried it and nothing odd happened. It pasted in the right place. I'm not doubting you but I don't see anything strange.

I'm trying to picture what loop does here.
