Lol - see..all those mixes and I never figured that out ? Actually...I get the vague feeling I did know it once many many years ago but because I've never used it I forgot ?

Over 25yrs and over 1,000+ mixes in Cakewalk / Sonar I can't honestly it's ever happened to me that I have particularly noticed. So I am not sure what you guys are doing ? However as Wojtek Stecyszyn mentions , perhaps the solution is to have Fader Undo...then it beenfits everyone ...not just the careless drivers

Please make them work with the mouse wheel too

Many plugins have it build in but that's what FX send / returns are for - and you only need one instance of your FX

Will it ever become non - experimental ?

+1 We need to be able to scrub through the audio file if we want to

But if I manually add it to my Arranger Selection and perform various operations i.e. copy / move the arranger section etc. ...it doesn't crash and behaves as expected ( I can only say I have tried this with Melodyne as I rarely use the other RFX ) So all it's really doing is forcing me into additional steps of manually adding them. If you are saying we shouldn't perform any Arranger operations on un-rendered RFX Clips then fair enough but it seems a bit of a workaround.

So understand now that Cakewalk considers an RFX track as still active even if it's frozen. And I understand that the selection method I have used omits the RFX track. What I don't understand is why. All it means is I end up taking extra steps each time to manually add it to the selection. So why can't Cakewalk just include it in the first place as logic would dictate.

Okay, thanks for the explanation - No there isn't one in Cakewalk, it would be useful though

What does it do for those of us that have never used Audacity ?

I hope I never have to use yours !

That's the default shortcut for fitting the project to screen ?

Its not latency I'm speaking of it's variable attack times on certain Kontakt libraries related to the articulation. You may perceive it as latency but that's not what it is.

No - I thought freezing would create a contigious wav also

OK granted but this instance had been rendered already - so as a former Rfx track it should be included in the selection should it not ? -----Edit Also having thought about it is there a technical reason why the Rfx track is omitted from the selection ? Thinking logically if I make a selection by clicking the Arranger track it's because I want everything included within it ( otherwise I would use a different method ) When it doesn't select the Rfx clip , all I end up doing is adding it to the selection manually ( Ctrl left click ) so I can get there eventually but it seems a bit daft that it doesn't just select the whole lot from the get go. i.e. I can't think of any instances when I've thought " select everything except my Melodyned track " was needed Whereas " select everything in this region " is an everyday occurrence and once the omitted clips are manually added it all seems to work perfectly well.

I have only tested this with Melodyne but basically if you turn a track into a RegionFX and subsequently try to select it as part of an arranger section it doesn't get included This seems to affect not only active RegionFX tracks but ones that have been rendered as well like the below screenshot

Just make a preset - you can include your naming convention by using the tags, and any default sample rate settings etc. I have to send stuff to a bunch of different Publishers and they all want something slightly different so I made a preset for each one , it's just one click. ( but yeah it should really keep those settings per project )

I bounce all my orchestral libraries to audio when I'm nearing completion and eyeball the Waveform to get them in the best place.

Speak for yourself. I make 100+ tracks per year for TV and I never use any of those functions. Ever. Different strokes for different folks. I don't disagree they could be updated though.

Fifteen years ago I still had external hardware to patch to..I've sold it all now ! Except a Nanoverb I kept just in case. I agree though I think hybrid mixing has kinda come back into vogue and we need to be able to implement it properly

Yeah that was a bit of a thing to omit

Back in the olden times we only had the option of destructive audio editing but it's been many years since PCs became powerful enough to edit non-destructively, and like David I haven't really delved into those Edit-Process menus for many years. It does seem like a forgotten corner of the UI as they look very much like legacy style menus from pre-2000's whilst other menus that were added later have a more modern look. I suppose the question is , if something works but is a relic from the early version should you change it if newer methods have been added to reflect how the majority of users are working now Vs 20+ years ago. There is an argument that the UI should be streamlined and consistent but how much Dev time does that take up and do enough users benefit.

You can also use clip gain automation. I would say this is a more modern way.

I've been helping my friend make the transition to CBB from Pro Tools and he says it's a bit mad that in certain keys Cakewalk doesn't label the notes correctly I'm more of a play by ear type so it doesn't bother me but my friend has a degree in music and many years of using PT so I am assuming he knows his stuff. He posted it in the CBB Creative Sauce group and people seem to confirm it.
