Auto focus doesn't affect my issues. But thanks for reminding me why I couldn't switch focus by clicking on the faded notes. That was driving me nuts as well. You also got me reading up on moving/copying notes. I've learned a whole new way of doing it that will hopefully end the issues. Ctrl+C&V is so 20th century! However, the new method as explained is misleading as you end up with either a scissor or eraser cursor. Scarry!

Confirmed. Folder had to be created at some point and entered in Preferences initially. Once there, it will recreate the folder if found MIA.

Right. There are times when it works as intended and then moments when it doesn't. Usually after a long session of editing. The full length clip thing happens sporadically at will. I could blame it on my version of Windows, but these issues have been with me forever. I prefer working full screen but may try splitting TV and PRV so switching is faster.

May have mentioned these in the past but these 2 issues have persisted for years thru every version of Sonar/CbB. I don't change any settings and they seem to happen at will. Using Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V 1. Sometimes pasted notes don't go to the intended track. They (1) end up on another track, or (2) disappear completely even tho "Undo Paste" is in the Edit list. Normally I can select the target track with the PRV Track list, but not always. When that fails, sometimes I have to switch to Track View and Select & Focus the intended track for it to paste there. Sometimes even this does not work and the note simply doesn't paste. 2. Pasted note clips should only be as long as the notes themselves but about 50% of the time they will paste with a new full length clip. Is this intended behavior?

Yes, according to his 3rd screen shot and my comments above. But I was replying to his 2nd screen shot which I took to be Saved or Saved As to the same location (overwritten), which has never reduced file count for me.

I forgot you can click the display times to change them, so original mod was updated to preserve this function. >Select From Time. The current From time. Click to modify. >Select Thru Time. The current Thru time. Click to modify.

Who said you could leave?! I just followed the info someone wrote on pg 144 of Colin's YLIP. Since the module's background "display" area is really partially dead canvas space, I extended the button dimensions to overlap it adding extra elements using trial & error to line everything up. Most 5 state buttons can be resized, but each frame must have equal dimensions. Since Select module has no "ON" state, frame #4 can be blank. ?

Been working on a new Onyx mixer styled theme and for some reason decided to see if the Select module could mimic the mixer's FX screen. Turns out it can. Loop & Punch Modules too. All hand painted, and as usual... "over baked". CbB interactive control bar.mp4 Great for touch screens. Updated

I'm confused.

Thanks. I vaguely remember that. At least for me it's a Display Scaling issue when set to a value other than (Recommended). And as Bruno mentioned, SI Instruments along with other older Cake instruments also suffer from a form of 'menuitis'.

I wish Cakewalk allowed cc lane patch changes like Samplitude does.

It broke some things for me, so it's not as DAW friendly as Windows 10.

It was probably me... No doubt it will carry over. I just reported it because I didn't know why it happens. Then I fooled with display setting and found the answer. But probably no point in further reports as CbB is now obsolete. My guess is those menus are linked to Windows instead of the app?? They upgraded some of the main menus but not this one. I may just resign to using the obscure, overlooked, hiding in plain sight, Patch Browser.

Memory laps... This is a screen scaling issue and happens even when CbB is on screen #2 @100% and screen #1 is @125%. Weird. Both screens have to be @100% to correct it, but I need screen #1 @125% to see it. AFAIK this is the only bug resulting from screen scaling.

1. Hover mouse over "0" (do not click on it) 2. Use mouse wheel to scroll up or down by octaves 3. Do the same while holding Shift key to scroll by semitones 4. Double-click to return to zero

After opening, I have to select Workspaces > None for the layout to be corrected. So at least for me, Workspaces are seriously broken.

No.

Looks like you're using Create one file per clip when saving, which will reduce the number of files saved to a new location. Bouncing actually increases file count. W/O Create one file per clip: Project unbounced tracks = 22 audio files in folder / 22 reported files in Project > Audio Files... / cwp = 1082kb Project all tracks bounced = 31 audio files in folder / 9 reported files in Project > Audio Files... / cwp = 831kb Same results after saving/closing/reopening CbB. With Create one file per clip: Project unbounced tracks = 12 audio files in folder / 12 reported files in Project > Audio Files... / cwp = 1082kb Project all tracks bounced = 21 audio files in folder / 9 reported files in Project > Audio Files... / cwp = 829kb Same results after saving/closing/reopening CbB.

Good example John. Each clip in each Take Lane in each Track creates an audio file in the folder. Bouncing all those takes together in a single track creates another single file. So you'll have a lot more Audio files than you might see in the project, creating the "total mess" you speak of. Nice, because even tho saving and/or closing the project loses the Undo menu, the (edit) files are still there for you to reuse if needed. Bouncing and saving to a new folder consolidates the finished project with only pertinent files, and you lose all the edits, takes, etc. Sometimes I wish MIDI tracks worked the same way. feature request?

Thanks Mark. Processing more than storage. I gathered Clip Looping is just a visual representation that the system processes on the fly and bouncing renders the repeats as one solid clip creating a new, bigger file in the Audio folder. Stretching wasn't a factor as I knew about that.

Does leaving a clip in Groove Clip Loop mode leave it "unrendered" or use more resources than bouncing it to clips?

A glorified "Custom Module"! Requiring more desk space. Quote: "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\TungstenTheme.fth is essentially a resource dll. It contains all of the graphics used by CbB." Which can be exported from the Theme Editor.

I'll add that when tracks are linked, the PRV notes don't need to be selected for changes to affect all tracks, as they do when the tracks aren't linked. Doing so will cause notes to disappear.

Use Paste Special to "link" the clips. Any edits or new draws will affect all linked tracks. Unfortunately there's no way to link existing track clips. So once they're unlinked you have to repeat the Past Special routine.

When using the Inspector to change MIDI Bank & Patch selections, both menus get cut off at the bottom. 53 - 63 & 118 - 127 are MIA on 2560x1080 screens when Windows Display Scale is set to a % other than (Recommended) value. (edit)
