  1. This is one we did for a Sync Library Album , the brief was for empowering female songs that could be used for sports programming especially the upcomign Women's World Cup. https://on.soundcloud.com/BxggR
  2. My workaround these days is the use the Arranger Track to mark the start and end of my exports
  3. Because it's been happening for a couple of decades
  4. I'v e always argued that certain settings that are currently per project should be global. It's crazy really....Take snap as an example. Once you have decided how you prefer it to work and how strong - who wants it to change for the next project ? Same with the editing options...I just want them the same ..all the time, Currently I have to make a templat then save that , then each new project start with that template. It's maddening.
  5. There's nuerous ways depending on what you're trying to achieve.. Highlight ( hold right mouse & lasso ) then place the pointer over one of the highlighted notes until it turns into a cross with little arrows on and left click-drag will move it around the PRV - holding shift at the same time will constrain it either vertically or horizonatally depending which direction you move first which is handy Highlight then Ctrl - left click- drag will make a copy of the notes that you can drag elsewhere Highlight then using the up / down arrow keys on the number pad ( 8 & 2 ) will move the selected notes up & down a semitone at a time Highlight + Ctrl D will make a duplicate of the selected notes
  6. You may as well as they don't really take up much space but there are many better souding instruments out there for free - I can't say I was ever impressed enough with any of them to keep them a final mix personally but YMMV
  7. A good idea dn much needed if you use Kontakt a lot
  8. I'll check, I've always left it on the default and it's been fine Made zero difference. It doesn't happen if I play it in standalone mode either
  9. That's what I thought but no other VSTi exhibits the same behaviour and in Reaper it works as expected. Stumped.
  10. No it's everything, Must be a local issue. But what ? So specifically drawing a midi note just results in a note playing that won't stop. No other VSTi has displayed this behaviour
  11. Updated to Kontakt 7 and it's fine until I try and draw notes on the PRV ( rather then play/record them ) and then the note just sticks, and will continue to stick unless I hit the emergency all note off button in Kontakt ( ! ) Not sure if it's me or anyone else had this ? Doesn't happen in Kontakt 6 on same setup. ?? Edit - Loaded up Reaper and it works just fine in that too .
  12. Appreciate this is already in the right click menu on the track pane , but I think would also make sense if "Move To Folder " was also on the Tracks dropdown menu
  13. I can run both my interfaces at 256 and lower ( depending how many plugins I am running ) one is Audient and the other is my old Behringer - both use their own ASIO driver.
  14. 4 Years on from my well reasoned request for an integrated sampler , and we don't have one yet Bandlab App does. You are risking losing those App users that want an upgrade path, I've said it many times that certain modern music genres are built around sample use and Cakewalk doesn't really cater for those users.
  15. Garbage is garbage no matter what the format, same applies to great music
  16. Most people can't write / arrange / record / mix to a level that outperforms 24/48 and if they can they're probably not using CBB
  17. I just drag & drop the midi to a new new track, then keep it all organsed in a track folder but I have agreed on previous similar posts that some way of routing one midi track to multiple destinations would be very beneficial.
  18. You could always add your lyrics to the lyrics section in CBB
  19. Seems baltantly obvious to me. Where else did you think it would come from ?
  20. I think this is a case of PEBCAK rather than anything being amiss with CBB. "Entire Mix" doesn't mean the same thing as "Entire Project "..this is where people go wrong
  21. Many mix issues are actually arrangement issues at heart. Tip 1. Don't use panning as an excuse to avoid proper arrangement. It's much easier to judge if your parts are masking each other if you listen in mono. Try it and it should be easier to balance everything properly. if you're not sure about best practice to properly arrange a piece there are some decent videos on Youtube that will help you. Tip 2. If you feel there is a mix issue not sure what it is the mute button is your friend. Try muting things one at a time until the track sounds clearer. It might be a part, or an effect such as the reverb that is causing most of the problems. Once you've identified it then it becomes much easier to tackle. Tip 3. On these types of track always EQ your reverb returns otherwise it sound like the track is swimming in it and the verb will be masking the low end. Some sort of high pass filter around 200-300hz on the reverb buss should do it. The built in Pro Channel EQ is ideal for this. Tip 4. Referencing. It's massivley helpful ( and free ) to use reference tracks to inform your mix decisions. You can use a plugin like Metric AB that makes this easier or you can just import them directly into CBB and route them the main output but being able to go from your mix to a pro mix in the same genre can really help you get closer.
  22. Thanks I've rolled it back to 2022.09 which I was using previously and the issue still persisted. So perhaps it's not the update. I've already delivered several tracks this month with multiple mixes / stems with 2022.09 so I know it was fine until very recently. Next I went into the preferences, did a check of everything and tried a " Reset Config To Defaults " and happily this seems to have cured it. I don't 100% recall what my old settings were but I do know I was using the aggressive thread processing as I have a 12 core / 24 thread processor but it's been a long time since I'd changed to that and it's been fine all this time. Re-updated to 2022.11 and it's exporting as normal now too.
  23. Urban Pacification Mix 2.mp3 This is Mix 2 for my above post , bounced in real-time and sounding as expected. It seems to affect all export formats, whether that's MP3s or Wav or AIFF
