hi all how do i do that without having to select all the kicks. if i had a drum map there is mute /solo ..but otherwise is there any way to ...say select the the midi note the kicks are triggered by and mute that note thereby muting everything it triggers

Thanks Razor thats true..but its still easier to make changes with drum maps

Hi all has anyone made any /know of where to download any Kontakt drum maps .. Abbey Rd Studio D etc thanks

yep thanks slowly working it all out

Thanks but that only applies to velocity changes as i make them...not what im looking for. i just want to klik on a midi note and hear it....simple

yes ive looked but from memory (ive come back to cakewalk after long absence) there was a very easy way of just cliking a note and it would sound. but i simply cant remember how.

yep thanks ..thats the way im going.. and BTW the other way im going is Steven Slate Drums havent got time to waste on 10 year old technology

thanks guys ..it does seem that the snare and sidestick are being picked up by one mike but surely if one is to have separate drum outputs one isnt expected to treat a snare EQ /comp/rev etc as they would a sidestick.. something wasnt thought thru here

is it me or is this thing a POS. ive spent most of the day trying to do this... the snare and sidestick on Abbey road drummer ouput to the same fader by default i want to seperate them and send them to TWO separate outputs. all my outputs are setup and everything works but i cant work out how to send the sidestick to a different output.. this is the last chance for kontakt its wasted enough of my time as it is. thanks

OK thanks thats helpful

Hi all. i am trying to set up kontakt to output 8 mono ch and 4 stereo ch. but when i go to the synth rack to add Kontakt the options are "all synth outputs mono" OR "all synth outputs stereo" ive experimented with both of these and neither are satisfactory. what are you guys doing in this situation? Kontakt looks and feels a bit old and klunky sort of sorry i bought it now.

Thanks Scook ..thats what i will do. still, if i have muted and hidden tracks i want to be the one deciding to unmute them.. the mute /unmute button should only affect the visible tracks ie in track /console view etc not the ones ive stowed away. anyway archive it is. thanks.

Ok here is something i discovered... if i have selection of tracks muted and hidden and then hit the unmute all button..it unmutes all my hidden tracks as well. this seems counter intuitive to me.. if i have hidden a track its usually muted as well.. i dont want to see or hear it until i say so. with this i have to go back thru all the tracks and reorganize. seems dumb to me

Thanks Jesiah..that did it... oh and i can see the confusion...what i meant in my original post is that 2 mons are "turned off" and moved and no longer visible. anyway ..sorted.

i could but im looking for a simpler solution..if there is one?

Hi all. im thinking this an easy one... I use 3 monitors 2 of which remain attached to the comp but are moved when not in use to preserve some space in my small studio but sometimes late at night i want to do a little fiddling/mixing but the console screen is on one of the other monitors..and i cant get it to show on my main monitor,,, How do I do that?

OK Thanks..so the method i talked about is the only way ATM..Roger that.

So does that mean if only want certain trax in my screenset i must manually hide all the trax i dont want to see, save screenset and then go back and unhide the now hidden trax ? that doesnt seem very elegant.

hi all whats the easist way of nominating which tracks and windows i want in a screen set what i want to do is from a large project i. e ...work on only the drums and bass.. do have to minimize all the other trax and save screen set? seems cumbersome. is there a way of nominating what i want and then save screenset...for that matter is screensets what i should be using? thanks

great ..thanks

OK i think ive figured it out. i wasnt using the synth rack to setup kontakt..i was crudely inserting a soft synth and then creating a seperate midi track to send to it...no no no . once i used the synth rack all the kontakt tracks showed up in a folder. is this correct because my original kontakt also shows up in the synth rack but i cant convert that to show all the outputs?

hi all ive got kontakt set up with its mixer showing all the outputs i need and i know how to assign them within kontakt but how do i setup cakewalk to have those tracks seperately. i.e. 8 tracks 8 separate drums from kontakt abbey road drums so that i can eq /effect separately and the bounce to track and archive kontakt.. ive been checking out youtube clips but havent found an answer thanks

thanks for the reply... ive got my head in this mix ATM will do some more experimenting when ive finished

Okay tried a few things... delete trax that i tried my comping experiment on and saved project (different name). reopen and try to set record mode from comping to both overwrite and sound on sound both of which crashed cake to the desktop no message just looks like its doing something (busy swirling icon) and disappears.. so im thinking from the lack of response this is not common? is there any way i can remove all comping from the project? all i can say its a good thing ive finished tracking or i would really be %$^$#ed

Hi all . i was just experimenting with comping vocal tracks today which in itself was fairly confusing, but now when i go to change the record mode back to sound on sound ...cakewalk crashs to the desktop no message ...just desktop. i will add that cake very rarely crashs for me and there no plugins in use yet as i am still tracking wish i hadnt of mucked around with it now... wont do it again any suggestions...thanks
