Thank you.

Cakewalk should be right up there with the most popular PC DAWs , I mean come on. It used to be hugely popular and ...and it's FREE FFS. But they lost a lot of ground because of major ommisions like not having a dedicated sampler. The kids that make music now are using audio from Splice etc. and chopping it up. Hip Hop is the biggest music genre on the planet. If you don't cater for those producers they will go elsewhere even if it's free. So I don't the think the Export function working one way or another will make much if any difference to how many users Cakewalk can gain as it will be bigger more headline grabbing benefits that attract them.

I think I may have a year or two on you but I would have thought by now you would have learned. Don't expect the default system behaviour to be changed just because you have poor recall. Well they say mistakes are for learning from not repeating Yes I have to use other software too , I use Wavelab and RX but it doesn't make me forget how Cakewalk works. Cakewalk preceded Adobe Premiere by about a decade....so who's way is right ? Well I imagine it's most of us or we'd never get anything finished I probably use Cakewalk more than the average user but I've never felt delayed or cognitively burdened or I'd probably use something else.

Well it seems like a fairly simple midi buffer , if it doesn't affect those who wouldn't use it and the other DAWs all have it then it seems a sensble addition.

Exactly. Adding things is fine - Removing long established workflows - not fine I've had a couple of features added that I requested too, the lock button on the arpeggiator and I went to some lengths to convince them to add Folders to the Export Module Options which is a real boon for bouncing your stems all in one go. None of these affected any existing workflows and can happily be ignored by those who have no need for them.

One user's design flaw is another's established workflow. Personally I don't see it as design flaw , I see it as a RTFM situation. Sometimes when I buy a new car from a different manufacturer the reverse gear is in a different place. It might be push down and top left to find it...instead of pull up and bottom left on the previous car. Does this mean I should petition the manufacturer to change it because other cars I've driven do it differently ? Or should I just....you know..learn how to drive it the way it's been designed ? You misunderstood. I am talking about logical ( not lexical ) semantics " concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication " Well that is a shame , I export approx 1,000 files a year from Cakewalk and I can't recall the last time it didn't export what I thought it should. I don't use any other DAWs so I don't get confused between them working differently to each other. Maybe that's the key.

Technically it hasn't reinvented anything as it's always worked the same way.

Make an Arranger Section that lasts the entire song length and you can click that instead of Ctrl-A

Looks like you had a lot of fun

I think it's semantics. Export Entire Mix exports the entire mix based on your selection plus all downstream FX..and this is what I take it to mean. It doesn't mean export everything in the Project. Which is what I think you are asking for. Maybe that should be an option, But for many of us I think the default behaviour which as you say has been in place for years if not decades works perfectly well, and make it much easier for bouncing deliverables for clients when you may need to export half a dozen or more variants of the same track as you can just select what's needed for each iteration and quickly run it off.

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

My workaround these days is the use the Arranger Track to mark the start and end of my exports

Because it's been happening for a couple of decades

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.

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

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

A good idea dn much needed if you use Kontakt a lot

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

No I don't have one

That's what I thought but no other VSTi exhibits the same behaviour and in Reaper it works as expected. Stumped.

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

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 .

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

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.

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.
