When a previous installation is detected, the Cakewalk installer follows the same rules as the in-app update process. If the installed version is the previous release the update installer is applied otherwise, the full installer is used to update the installation.

The signal flow diagram is in the documentation. Of course, the image is also in the user reference and local help. I have posted it in the old forum and in this forum as well but did not in this thread because the OP already mentioned it.

Every clip has an FX rack. It works just like the track FX rack except it happens in the clip before the data is sent to the track. Using clip FX racks may require multiple instances of the same plug-in; one for each clip needing the effect. Or add the de-esser in the ProChannel and put the ProChannel before the FX rack. Or move the contents of the track FX rack to an aux track or bus and put the de-esser in the track FX rack. Except for the location of the track gain, pan and interleave, all three methods are all functionally the same as adding the de-esser to the top of the track FX rack. Of course, gain and pan may be augmented with additional plug-ins in the FX racks and ProChannels.

IDK, my experience when working in the PRV using the smart tool following these steps lassoing a note with Click+drag copying a note to the clipboard with CTRL+C positioning Now time by clicking in the PRV pasting with CTRL+V produces a clip that is one note in length.

When adding new notes, clip creation is automatic and based on the following: the DAW creates a new clip when the distance between the new note and existing clips is at least one measure a new note less than one measure away from two clips is added to the closest clip a new note equidistant from two clips and less than one measure away from both is added to the clip on the left

All FX racks and ProChannels signals flow top to bottom. All clips have an FX rack. All tracks and buses have an FX rack. All audio and instrument tracks have a ProChannel. The ProChannel may be before or after the track FX rack. Sends are all post FX. The Send PRE/POST switch refers to the position of the send relative to the volume fader.

If one wants all the audio in one track, there is no need to split the instrument track. Change the channel on the instrument track and add MIDI tracks for the other channels and point their outputs to the same plug-in. If one wants separate audio and MIDI on separate channels, append instrument tracks will do this and keep everything as instrument tracks. Finally, separate audio and MIDI tracks may be added to a project and pointed to the same plug-in too, leaving the original instrument as is except for the need to force its channel just like the first option above.

Instead of splitting the instrument track, try "Append Instrument Track" in the track menu just under "Split Instrument Track."

The "Insert Send Assistant" at the bottom of the "Insert Send" menu has an option to name the new bus during creation

This describes using the web-based app called BandLab run from BandLab Assistant. To work with old TTS/Cakewalk files use the Cakewalk Installer (direct link) near the bottom of this page to install Cakewalk by BandLab. If you had any experience with Cakewalk products released in 2011 or later, the interface should look familiar.

First start by opening the MIDI file (File > Open) instead of importing. As long as there is no MIDI output device specified in preferences, opening a file will add TTS-1 to the project. At this point the project is ready to go with a synth already setup in the project. Then swap out the synth for any or all of the MIDI tracks by adding additional synth plug-ins and audio tracks. This is discussed in detail in this thread: Also importing MIDI data into an existing file will strip certain data from the file, such as tempo. Open is intended for full performances. Import is intended for clips. When opening a MIDI file make sure to save as a Cakewalk project or all the non-MIDI data such as plug-in assignments will be lost.

Freezing does not permanently bypass the FX rack. It is possible after freezing to enable the FX rack and modify as desired. Of course, to fully retore a frozen track, the changes to the FX rack must be undone prior to the thaw. In order to perform a lot of processing on a frozen track and retain the ability to unfreeze the track, it might be easier to copy the contents of the frozen track to a new track and archive the frozen track. However, I'd use bounce+archive(+disconnect synth if necesssary) instead of freeze in this case.

I don't have access to a FF400 but it appears its version of TotalMix supports loopback. This should do what you want without additional cabling. Check out section "32.5 Recording a Subgroup (Loopback)" in the FF400 manual.

It is in MIDI tab of the instrument track inspectors and MIDI track inspectors The top control pointed to by Q It has been there since X1 was released in Dec 2010.

Yes, they are handy. Really would like to see iZotope catch up with Steinberg's ARA implementation of SpectraLayers. I prefer RX but not having an ARA implementation of the editor makes it a little clunky to use with a DAW.

Depending on the plug-in automating the on/off or mix is my first choice. Splitting the clip where the effect is needed and adding the plug-in the clip FX rack is another way.

Yeah, RX Connect is unnecessary. CbB can share a copy of a clip directly with any editor that accepts file names on the command line. This is done by extended the Tools section of the CbB Utilities menu. The information is stored in the registry. I wrote a tool to edit this part of the registry. In fact, it was in response to a discussion about RX Connect on the old forum. The Tools Editor is part of CbB Tools mentioned in this thread Here is my setup for RX9. Download the program. Put it anywhere on your PC. Run it Select Tools Editor Set Update Registry to Yes Enter the Required Entries. Double-clicking in Exe Path opens a file browser. Click Submit To use Run CbB Select a clip and run RX from the Utilities menu. After saving and closing RX, CbB will prompt to load the new clip.

These two plug-ins were sold separately and have their own installers. They do not depend on any SONAR installation at all. Update: this is true for the CA-2A but apparently not for the CL (and possibly the other PC only add-ons.). See the posts below. While it is possible to manually install and active the plug-ins, the easiest way is the Cakewalk Command Center. This will install and activate the plug-ins in one step. Then delete the CCC if desired. Keep in mind if you ever need any of the bundled SONAR era plug-ins, it is best to follow these instructions now update: it appears, PC only add-ons may require SONAR X1 Producer Expanded or newer with a ProChannel installed.

I do not know if the real Behringer ASIO drivers are multi-client (FWIW RME drivers are). If not, enable Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not In Focus
