Pathfinder

Thanks very much -Greatly appreciated.........

I have some projects, all VSTS except for all guitars and all vocals. I am wanting to re-do some of them and use the same midi in the project but delete the vocal recording(s)? IOW, the CWP without the old vocal track? i have stated a few times that I forgotten many things I used to know in CW. Yes I have memory issues, I am not looking for sympathy, just help. I went into the Audio folder of the project (.CWP) and deleted a vocal track but of course when I opened the project I had the missing file dialog. OR sooner or later I will export the projects to audio (just basic bouncing)-So is it better just to leave the old vocal recordings and when I bounce and export I just don't include the old vocal records? Just looking for the easiest (best?) way. Hope this makes sense! Thanks

CWBL has a come a very long way. That would be my choice. I had a similar choice with "a competitors daw". I chose CW and am very glad I did. Also, I am not familiar with Reason but the support you get on this forum is second to none IMHO!

So I came back here because I still have NOT purchased a new mic and MAINLY because I value the opinions of CW forums-always have. I didn't realize that their is an OC18 that is only $799 (only in black-weird?). The more expensive OC18 has all sorts of belles and whistles that I would NEVER used-I am confused enough. Like remote control? Wireless, etc, etc But the main differences that matter imho are the Black OC18 is only cardoid which is fine for me, I have penty of other mics and I am looking for vocal mics. The other only real difference is the $799 OC18 uses a Handcrafted CKR6 ceramic capsule like the CKR12 capsule, but with a single diaphragm ( i copied and pasted that part 🙂 ) I am thinking this might be it. I like what I read about the company and what was posted in this thread. Thoughts? and Thanks as always

I am just curious. Been here forever and Kontakt was my first purchased vst way back when. Still use it in EVERY PROJECT and I have never seen what you describe. I use my daw everyday. Main VSTS are Toontrack and Kontakt. Presently Kontakt 7. BTW, I am NOT DOUBTING what you say, no a bit. But if it's Kontakt and CWBL why have I never seen this? Just trying to understand. Also what I mean is your saying it's a combination of K7 and CWBL. If it was solely that wouldn't we all be seeing this behavior. I have never touched High DPI scaling override" in Properties / Once again, just trying to understand. So it's ONLY if High DPI scaling override" in Properties / is checked? Thanks

The idea is to use the CAL SCRIPT FIRST- He is just making things harder on himself.

Why don't you use the CALS? They work great.?

I always start by using the CAL Split Notes to Tracks. I your case you could then assign certain ones to different busses etc.

Point taken-But I was one of the most vocal pissed of people about no perpetual Sonar License. Very vocal. I have to have faith that CW. will honor it's CWBL statements. You know one of those, since the early 90's CW guys, like many here. Honestly, the only way I see that is changing is if they ever, actually, realize that the smart business move without question to sell us a Sonar license. Reason: Most of us would just go to another daw and CW would lose a lot of customers that would certainly have bought the perpetual license. The subscription model is a joke and sooner or later they will realize they made a mistake.

I never install the 32bit versions anymore and haven't for years

Cannot help with the list but I always just install Sonar Platinum- along with CWBL when ever I reinstall. I have the other versions but, for me, Plat covers most all the important ones.

Guess I grab the resize handle "every time". Since I use tootracks ez drummer 3 and ez keys 2 and Ez Bass everyday and have neve had this issue. just habit I guess. EDIT: I should also add that I rarely HAVE TO RESIZE these windows. I do have to MOVE the window from the top left to the middle though very often.

I am always resizing VSTS, like Kontakt 7, Toontrack Ez Drummer 3, EZ Bass and many more and they resize fine.

Wanted to add I know it was very basic, should easily know question and I appreciate YOU not dismissing it because I should have known this. Of course I knew this and obviously I forgot. Thanks very much!

Yes I actually forgot all about that since I have not had to touch it in years. Thanks

Not sure why or what I did-But EZ Drummer 3 when inserted into a track using either Synthrack or dragging from browser no longer creates a track folder? All other VSTS do. so now I have to insert track folder and move all ez drummer tracks to it. My methods are certainly not the best or optimal but they work for me and I always use the synth rack. What did I do now? I Thanks

Appreciate the good info. But I would just like to buy another mic. not to correct any perceived issues. If I made it sound like this was to fix anything that was NOT my intention. Like I said-Good info-Thanks

They read like nice mics. Very inexpensive. I would be interested more in the OC18-did you ever use one of those? Thanks

Confidence in Cakewalk Team abilities has NEVER been an issue for me................

Tom As stated above, it is weird imho that, I quote from above post, "Given the fact they didn't have a "we want a perpetual option" in the drop down despite every end user would like to see this as an option." so?,..................................Why isn't it? I know you won't know but it is the obvious drop down response. I m happy with CWBL so I will not bother to submit anything since the obvious is missing.

Yes big difference between me and you-Even though I am not a big rock star, music is more than a hobby for me. Been playing guitar for over 40 years and music is part of me, part of my life. So I put everything I can into it.....Most of the people in my life besides parents and siblings of course, are in my life because of music-meaning that is how I met them. Some are gone, some are still here! Music is everything to me. Daws are just a logical extension of my love for music........... It's all good in my opinion!

I am no mic maven either. I just can never settle on a vocal mic for myself. The warm Audio WA-47 is easily the best sounding (for my vocals) I have. The Shures I have had for a while. I actually have the warm Audio Wa-87r2 on Craigslist ATM- really don't need it and really was looking for something completely different than the wa-47 and everywhere I looked the AKG414's were always in the list of studio vocal mics. Also, my BUDGET is probably not much different than yours - I just always use the 36\48 months no interest at either Sweetwater or Musicians Friend!

Thanks for th info-Mic modelers are out due to ILok-I refuse to put that garbage on my DAW. I have done fine without it for decades

Keeps pooping up but the recommended resolution for the card is set? Nvidia GeForce RTX3060-new about a month ago. Just started yesterday out of no where. Any ideas where I can start- I have no idea. LG 32" monitor-about one year old. Thanks These are the 2 settings that this dialog box goes back and forth about. If I change to recommended it pops up and say pick the other one. If I pick the other one the same thing happens???

Thank for the info and I sure wish I could sing like the, "nasal singer like the guy from Queen"..................And write and play.
