So in other words, I can set up my analog external synth controlled by my midi volume pedal and have the volume pedal also control my soft synth and I can adjust the CCMap for the soft synth to match the volume pedal behavior of the analog synth, right? I can make adjustments to the curve in the CCMap and hear the results in real time? This is how the 32 bit Ntonyx plugin worked. Have you used the CCMap?

One of the synths is a hardware external synth and the other is a soft synth, but your method does work perfectly with 2 soft synths.

My understanding is that the CCMap, doesn't work in real time. It alters the CC data after it's recorded. Whereas I want something to alter the data in real time coming from my midi volume pedal.

I have 2 synths, but they react differently to the volume pedal. In other words if I have them perfectly balanced at a low volume pedal setting and then raise the volume with the pedal, 1 synth gets louder quicker throwing off the balance between the 2 synth sounds.. Ntonyx has a 32 bit mid plugin that work fines, but it won't work with 64 bit CbB. I can draw a curve that affects how the foot volume pedal tracks the midi controller #7. Any one know of any midi FX plugins

I use V-Vocal all the time and if you use my method, outlined in one of these posts, you won't get a crash, unless one particular CWP is corrupted

Yes it has to be in a separate folder. Search some of my recent posts where I describe the whole process and give you some code and also a quick way of getting the lame files on my OneDrive

It was released on 10/5. Personally I'm going to wait until the smoke clears, and I hear what others think about it.

You can do this if you configure it in the External Encoder. Once you do that your 320 mp3 shows up in the Export list. I have mine setup to default to VBR4, which is a variable bit rate. It processes at 320, yet in areas that 320 is of no benefit, it reduces the bit rate lower. This way your ending file is smaller.

External encoder works great with the mp3+wav files - thanks

In the export window it would be nice to have a check box for "save wav file" for anyone saving to mp3 or other format, since the wav file in most cases is created first and then deleted after creating the mp3

Before you choose to Export, select all the tracks and make sure the selection starts at 15 sec or so, instead of at 0 sec

I saw that. So with this I could create a wav file and mp3 at the same time? Have you tried this feature?

Glad to hear it's on the fix list - thanks msmcleod. What I really like about using the External Encoder is I can create an mp3 and a wav file at the same time. Just go to Utilities/ External Encoder Configuration utility and put these values in the boxes. MP3 VBR4 + Wav - file name Extension - mp3 keep source file - checked PATH: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities COMMAND LINE: lame -V4 --vbr-new -m j %I %O You do need to put 3 Lame files to the 64 bit folder C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities. The 3 files in the Shared Folder are lame.css lame.exe lame.dll If anyone ever needs these I can put them in my MS Onedrive for anyone to retrieve. About 15 years ago when I set this up, I visited this specialized mp3 forum, where these gurus who were on the cutting edge of mp3 improvements. They gave me the Command Line. I found that the VBR 4 was a good compromise between quality and size and was better than even the 192. With variable bit rate the encoder will examine the file and determine which parts need the 320 and which parts are fine with 128 or less. Once you do all this when you export you'll see your file name you used in the Encoder Configuration in the drop down list. I have 2 configs - mp3 only and mp3 + wav file

I've been using the External Encoder in Sonar and CbB for about 15 years. Worked perfect every time, except with the new version of CbB 2021.09 I haven't gotten any response in the 2021.09 Feedback post, so I wanted to know if anyone else uses it. I've been creating VBR 4 mp3's which is the variable rate encoding and produces a very high quality mp3. But actually the most important use of the external Encoder is that I can create a wav file and then right away it creates an mp3 - all in one process. Quite a convenience and time saver. I hope they can fix the bug in 2021.09, but in the mean time, I'd appreciate anyone who's uses that External Encoder to at least chime in and let me know if you're having problems too

Thanks, I also prefer it in the FX bin so I can see it easier. I never like leaving the Inspector open, I like seeing as much Track Pane and Clips Pane as I can even with a big monitor. I'll go back to using CA2A

It appears both were patterned off the same analog compressor. If anyone has an opinion on which one is better as far as it's strength as a compressor, please chime in I like having the CA2A in the FX bin of my vocal tracks. For me it's easier than having it in Inspector/Pro Channel.

Through this process I found another nice feature. Once you set a track's height, you can simply double click the waveform icon in the Track pane for that track and it will maximize the track, but when you double click on it again it returns to the exact size you left it. This doesn't require you to check"Lock Height"

More handy tricks - thanks. For us long time users, many times we can miss little improvements with the newer releases and get locked into our old way of doing things. It's nice to find new better ways to do things

The controls are exactly the same in the compressors CA2A and PC2A. In fact, even the graphics are almost exact. Is there really a difference in quality and sound? Curious to know other's opinions

Here's my post from the other thread I think this will solve my problem. I went ahead and changed my template so that Lock Height is already selected on tracks I want it. You can still change the height of a track and then that's the new locked height. When you lock the height of a track, its height does not change when you use a Zoom or Fit command and those are the commands that was affecting my work flow.

Very good suggestion. I'll check this out. I'm not sure if screensets and workspace will even be needed, if I do this for the main vocal track.

So then if I so all this and want to maximize a vocal track and zoom in to delete a noise. Do I have to turn off "Lock track height"? And then turn it back on? Does "Lock track height" affect all my tracks with the same height?

I'm referring to the vertical size of the tracks in the left Track Pane. I like my vocal track larger so I can see the waveform really well in the Clip pane to the right. It's also good to have the harmony vocals and guitar fill tracks larger. This is very helpful when writing volume automation. Have you found a way to do this with Screensets?
