Cakewalk keeps crashing when loading in plugin
scook replied to Lorenzo Stolk's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Did you rename the file extension? Renaming the file without changing its extension will not cause the plug-in to be skipped because the scanner looks for any file with a .vst3 extension in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 If you have file extensions hidden in Windows Explorer (I believe this is the default) you will need to enable them. Or just move the file out of the scan path Or delete it. You can always re-run the installer to get the VST3 back later. May want to make sure the VST2 plug-in is installed. -

Add Pro Tools-Style Dual Panpots to SONAR It was removed from Anderton's book on CbB because Channel Tools was not included with CbB As of 2020.08 Channel Tools is included so the method described in the link works for CbB users without SONAR.

When the size of a clip changes it is because the program guessed the beat count wrong while making the loop. This may be corrected in either the Clip Inspector Groove Clip Section "Beats in Clip" or Loop Construction View "Beats"

Some effect and synth plug-ins pass through or generate MIDI data. These plug-ins appear in the MIDI input drop down of every instrument and MIDI track except the track sending data to the plug-in. This avoids the possibility of a MIDI feedback loop. Voltage Modular is one such plug-in.

default horizontal scroll, sl-drum kit edit
scook replied to Banditos's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
1. not in the program 2. SI-Drums does not have a convenient way to mix samples from different kits. One could load a couple of instances of the plug-in and route the data as desired either by breaking out the data into multiple tracks or using a drum map. -
This is a fine place to report bugs, however; for the current release there is a thread which is monitored a little more closely than this area of the forum. The thread is pinned to the top of https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/2-cakewalk-by-bandlab/ A new thread is created for each release. The 2020.08 thread is

The FX Rack (A in the image below) is the area in the track header where you put the amp sim. This is also available in the console view and track inspector strips. The PC fx refers to the ProChannel. Any effect may be added to it too. When adding a regular DX/VST2 or VST3 plug-in to the ProChannel an FX Chain is added to the PC and the plug-in is placed in it. TheProChannel is accessible in the console view and inspector.

It would be nice if it worked the same as the Add Track dialog

WRT the OP Here is what I see when adding Superior Drummer 3 with track count limited to 3 and the options MIDI Source + All Synth Audio Outputs - Stereo (results in 1 MIDI track and 16 stereo tracks) MIDI Source + First Synth Audio Output (results in 1 MIDI track and 1 Stereo track) MIDI Source only (results in 1 MIDI track)

@msmcleod I sent a dump and animated gif to Jon, did you see it? @Vernon Barnes probably no need for a new thread. All of this is related to the recent changes to the Insert Soft Synth Options Dialog.
-
Yes, both "rescan" options should be disabled. These options are designed to be used sparingly. Neither should be left enabled. When these are disabled previously scanned plug-ins are skipped by the scanner EXCEPT for Waves. I do not use Waves plug-ins but it is my understanding because of how they are implemented the scanner must scan them in addition to any new plug-ins.

It only works for me when using "Instrument Track Per Output" and "Stereo Audio Output" or "Mono Audio Output" is selected. Failing to select one of the output options crashes CbB. Using the "Limit to:" option with MIDI+Audio Tracks does not work. The dialog works the same regardless of the "Limit to" and "Max Available" settings.
-
At least until the Insert Soft Synth Options Dialog gets fixed.
-
The Insert Soft Synth Options Dialog has the necessary options but does not work at this time. The Add Track dialog called by the Add Track button and Insert Instrument option in the track header context menu works exactly as you want. Here is a video adding Superior Drummer 3 to a project with 3 of its 16 stereo audio tracks and its MIDI track using the steps I detailed in my previous post.

FX Rack, FX Bypass and Delay Compensation Question
scook replied to Tez's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Sometimes it is easier to bounce everything to a temporary track, archive all the bounced tracks and bypass all bus effects then record a new track using the temporary mix as a guide. -
Mix Recall- how to transfer to another project?
scook replied to John Vere's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Beyond simple testing - count me in the "do not use" column. I suspect my CbB use is far from "normal" though. -
This is how it used to work before the recent per-output instrument track changes. It used to be one or all outputs and nothing in between. There is now an ability to limit the number of instrument/audio tracks created when adding the synth. It looks to me the Add Track menu works but the same cannot be said for the Insert Soft Synth Dialog.
-
I don't use Kontakt so used Superior Drummer 3 instead Here is what I did to limit the number of tracks while adding a synth Clicked on the "Add Track" button Selected the Instrument tab Selected "Superior Drummer 3" Selected "Split Instrument Track" under advanced Entered 3 for number of tracks Three stereo audio tracks were created and sequentially assigned to SD3 along with its MIDI track. My guess is you are using a different method to insert synths.

Mix Recall- how to transfer to another project?
scook replied to John Vere's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
When I entered site:forum.cakewalk.com copying mix recall into Google The first result was http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3442977 The third message in the thread is from Noel But I seem to be pretty lucky using search tools. -
I have never nested projects underneath an existing project but I have complete versions of projects along side the original project in a folder. To do this create a master project folder (typically in the project files path in preferences but it does not have to be there) create the original project in the master project folder use "Save As" or "Save As Copy" to navigate up out of the original project folder to create the new project at the same level as the original project in the master folder name the new project and verify "Copy all audio with project" is enabled save
-
It is not clear what the exercise is but my guess is it may be due to "Copy all audio with project" being enabled. I keep multiple copies of the same project in the same folder and use the original audio folder. To do this disable "Copy all audio with project" in "Save As" or "Save Copy As" name the project copy save To put a copy of the project file into a new folder and use the original audio folder disable "Copy all audio with project" in "Save As" or "Save Copy As", create the new project folder, enter the new folder and save.

Cakewalk by BandLab (and SONAR) always record the signal as it arrives at the track input. To record a signal after it has been processed through an FX rack requires routing the signal to another track. This may be done using an aux track or a patch point. To simply hear the effects enable input echo - the button to the right of record on the track header.
