 All part of the same plot! 

Now I'm thinking to split the twelve songs into two groups of six. File 2 registrations, then title the cd as a combination of both Part 1 and Part 2 sold as a single package?

10 songs would certainly cover all the times a composition of mine was stolen and then made into a gold record or used in a car commercial.

I don't understand?

Pun regarding value of a copyright?

I'm not so worried about protection as I am the ability to sell (or at least try to) at locations that require a copyright.

The 10 song issue now lowers the amount of songs that can be on an album for those of us too poor to do otherwise.

For the future I could limit my album sizes and adjust some selling costs, but I just finished an album and do not see dropping 2 songs after all the work and planning.

Maybe I should file as 2 separate 6-song albums? Then create a package deal to sell the two together?

It used to be relatively simple. If one person owned all rights to all songs on an album including the sound recording, a single $65 registration covered all.

Now as of March 15, 2019 this has a limit of 10 songs ($55) with no apparent way to add more. Their guidlines claim that if there are more than 10, the only method is to file each song individually ($35)...

So a 12 song album will now cost over $400!

Outrageous!

I'm hoping to find they have some way to copyright 10 as one and add 2 more? But I have little hope.

I filed a question to them regarding this but past experience tells me they will not help or reply with anything useful.

Is Trump somehow involved in this?

I am angry beyond words! I was about to copyright my new album but was stopped by this new arrangement.

Does anyone here know of this and have any advice for struggling artists who don't have that kind of money. It seems my only option is to drop songs from the album to meet the 10 song limit...

Ugly for the buyers. Makes a 10-3 minute song album a limit for 30 minutes.

I am stymied!

I like the way  Reaper handles this. You put Sonarworks into the Monitor FX.  Even when it is enabled, it will not affect the mix down/export.

Thanks...

I was not real comfortable when I tried reaper so I can't say...

It's easy to do this in CbB too... but I ran into some naming procedures that made it unwieldy...

Too bad I can't run VSTs in the presonus mixer. That would be the best for me as it would allow all sound through it (instead of only within the DAW), but presonus punked out of their' development and dropped mixer support due to changing OS instead up updating the driver. So I keep what I have with no updates so that  I don't lose this important part of why I bought it!

sorry for the rant...

Hi

 

I'll add this here for now but I think it should be a new thread, really.

Is anyone using Abby Road Studio 3 in Cakewalk? I got it and it doesn't work.

 

The first time I used it the sound was really phasey and weird, then I got no sound at all. FOr a while I thought it was Sonarworks but after an update from them, still no sound. So I removed ABS3 and suddenly everything was back to normal. Now I've just tried adding it again to test and sure enough, no sound at all.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Scott

 

Hi Scott...

Yes, I'm using it here with no problems. Some more info about your song setup?

This is not new to the current release...

Maybe not even a bug but something I'm unknowingly doing?

At all kinds of odd times I suddenly find my fade in/out settings (my default verified in all my templates) change to all linear...

Am I accidentally hitting a keyboard command? I am unaware of such and haven't noticed my fingers hitting unusual keys at those times...

Thanks...

So I guess what I want to know on the lanes is "can one lane of audio overlap another and have both heard" just like separate tracks or are overlapping regions still treated as "one or the other plays"?

Not a big deal really either way, just trying to understand what is different than just the comping was.

I can hardly remember why I cared that much about layers vs tracks in folders anyway!

Yes...

I'm not sure of comp mode, but in sound on sound...

I know...

I continue to post on this and related issues... but it is so in-my-face with every working day that it's hard to ignore...

Why Does the zoom continue to focus on the track when it is obvious that it's the open lanes that are of needed attention?

If I have two tracks showing lanes and I'm trying to do something related to data in the lanes, I want the lanes zoomed large... NOT the tracks!

I continue to spend more time twiddling with zoom issues than I did back in the pre-Lanes days...

Note that I'm not commenting or raising issues regarding layers/lanes.... Though it has obvious relations...

This is all about zoom!

I know you have made some fixes to this issue since, but it is still (for me) my biggest outstanding pita...

PLEASE! I can think of many ways to address this and I'm sure you guys can come up with far more. I'm also fairly certain that if it was easy, you probably would have done this already, but it is a very sore spot!

Thanks!

We had that decades ago with the audio view. While editing and zoomed in I think its much more convenient to be able to seek right where you see the peaks of the audio rather than going to the time ruler. Most of the time when auditioning edits I tend to be doing things visually rather than looking at the timeline so its a time saver (pun intended)

 Thanks Noel !

 I couldn't agree with you more !

Thanks Jesse...

It appears to have solved that issue... Though I did get a crash during one test, I believe that is due to the Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin and the nx head tracker they force open with it even if not used....

Love the plugin, but these are issues I would not expect of a mature developer...

Edit:

BTW, I love the returned ability to click within the project instead of the time line! I know some prefer the other paradigm, so I'm glad you quickly resolved that so we can all have what we prefer!

Keni, this is a long shot, but I recently had the dreaded "MIDI can talk to everything but Cakewalk VSTi's" effect, and what it turned out to be was a rogue control surface entry.

I looked at Preferences/MIDI/Control Surfaces, and for whatever reason, the input device was set to be my MIDI keyboard controller, and so Cakewalk was interpreting all of its keypresses as control surface movements.

Once I set that device to be what it was supposed to be (my nanoKONTROL), all was well.

 Thanks again Starship Krupa!

[Solved]

You nailed this one fast. Deleted the control surface, then it required CbB to be restarted  and all is well!

Entirely my fault and thankfully, not the early release!

 That sounds very possible.  Not realizing that the same device couldn't be keyboard entry as well as commands.  I was just testing methods of assigning need the keys to transport controls for a friend.  Headed back to the studio now to try!

New problem has arisen!

Not sure if this is due to the update, but I can't find any other reasons...

I'm no longer getting any imput from my nektar impact ix49....

I've done factory rest on it  as well as re-opening CbB etc.

Not seeing any midi input activity at all!

Edit:

Kybd works fine on standalone synths

Edit2:

Working fine in other DAWs and when CbB is open MIDI activity appears active in tray

Edit3:

Examined everything I could think of. Works everywhere but in CbB though the tray midi monitor shows activity. I get no activity on a midi input track. Did anything change related to input/midi issues?

This one is quite debilitating right now...

<ouch>!

Thanks!

Edit4:

BTW...  don't know if it matters but this is a usb/midi device.

Running well here too.

I had been having a lot of crashes changing songs/projects that contain the Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 plugin, but it has not crashed since early access 2....

A MIDI driver that's not "letting go" can cause CbB (Sonar) to not shut down.

A while back, Korg's USB MIDI driver was causing this issue.

 

When you close CbB (Sonar), open Task Manager and see if the Sonar process continues to run.

 

Some plugins like Addictive Drums have an online "Sync" process.

This can cause CbB (Sonar)  to take slightly longer to shut down. 

 

Thanks Jim...

real barebones system. Used for assembly of radio shows. Three tracks and zero plugins, but 4 hours long realtime. One track music, one dj, and one commercials.

My friend Les has been using Sonar/CbB for near 15 years this way yet remains somewhat nubile about pc's in general.

Does he have a hard drive (or attached external device) set to write-behind for speed?  If so, then it's just trying to catch up before shutting down.  Without knowing anything about his machine, all of this is guesswork.  I would suggest the following (all can be done for free from an Administrator account):

• Run Malwarebytes to make sure there's nothing else going on
• Run Glary Utilities to clean up the system and remove unneeded temporary files
• From Glary, you can perform a defrag analysis and defrag if needed
• Also from Glary, you can see what else starts when he boots

 

Is the computer up-to-date?  Maybe Windows (or Java, or Adobe, etc.) is repeatedly trying to check for updates (you can disable some from Glary too).

Does it say what application it's waiting for during the shut down?

Thanks Craig...

No info given at closing. Only the shutting diwn dialog.

Drive is healthy and set plane jane... It's been working fine for years with no changes other than Sonar/CbB updates.

Old OS (win7)

I'm not familiar with Glary so I'll look at that.

I've been problem solving on a friend's pc. He pisted earlier as cakewalk process is not closing when he closes CbB...

I noticed that a number of times it actually did close many minutes later and the machine takes a very long time to close down so I'm thinking these are related.

I ran chkdsk and all is healthy.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Thanks.

As with all the fixes,

Thanks for fixing the VVocal issue.  It appears to be fine now.

What was the edit filter setting on the track?

1st attempt it was set to clips and I tried using shift-click to access the envelope

Next I tried using center-button-click to popup the fliating window (forget the name) that has a drop down to select from

and finally selecting from the track dropdown...

None initiated any respone of any kind.

Finally I opened the automation lane and it worked there. After which closing the automation lane now allowed all of the above to work fine. I will seek to reproduce somewhere else. Maybe a glitch?

Problem in 2019.7? Anyone else seeing this?

Editing Volume Envelope in Track (not envelope lane)

Using Sound on Sound

Pointer selected as tool with all options selected

The mouse allows no access to ANY tool to edit the envelope.

Works fine on the automation lane...

Edit:

I edited in the automation lane then closed all lanes and now the envelope responds normally.

I will explore this some more.

I think you misunderstood. An early access build is no different from a normal release other than the fact that it isn't pushed to the entire world via BandLab assistant.
Subsequent updates will work as normal as if you had a prior release.

Thanks again Noel!

That clarrified things much more for me. I've downloaded and will install in moments...

List of fixes is astounding! Great stuff from you and everyone on the team. I can't wait to check it out!
