If I power up my Icon Qcon console after I started Cakewalk, Cakewalk offers to add it. I Answer "Yes" and some spinning icon indicates loading. It is added, but it does not work. So I have to restart Cakewalk. Is this an (old) bug, or am I missing some essential setting somewhere?

Wow! That was easy! I did not expect it to be that smooth. Finally I have Cakewalk on a NVMe SSD 2TB. This is comfortable.

A junction might be a solution. Still I do not understand why projects fail to load vst's; or what is the point of the global list in the plugin manager?

I installed one more hard drive, and the old F: is now H: So I corrected letter/path in the plugin manager. (And prefs/folder locations) But it seems my old projects don't care about that, and the vst's fail to load from F: (Because they are not there anymore) I do not/can not change drive letters now. Is there an an easy/smart way to fix the issue?

This could be an example. I want tracks 2, 3, 5 and six to start at the same time as track one for when I export them. So that the recipient can drag them into his DAW with no regard of sync. Just put them in there.. I will export the separate tracks as wave files, and send them to somebody. I consider Scook's latest answer to be the the one I was looking for: "When exporting tracks and buses they default to starting at 0 regardless of where the first clip is located but it is possible to make a time-based selection either before opening the export dialog and/or in the export dialog itself too." Because: I didn't know that.

Is the "Export tracks/buses starting at 0" a choice I can tick at export? (Because, If I start recording at the chorus, the recipient has do do some manual/visual sync) I intend to export the tracks, and send them to others who are not using Cakewalk. But they want to import the wavefiles for each track.. It is not complicated. I have done this by recording a tiny amount at the start, and "bounce to track" It did the trick..

I am NOT starting playback or downbeats at zero. Never did. I just want the clips to start at zero, so I can export them, and then the recipient won't have to worry about sync.

I just need all the clips to start at the same time.

Sometimes I need all tracks in a project to start at bar zero. Even if nothings happen in the first bars. I saw this done once in another DAW, and the operation was named "Consolidate" or smth.. I can do this by starting a short, empty recording from beginning, and bounce. Is there another way that I've missed?

I have also seen this from time to time. Also during recording; The recorded track is then behind the rest of the project when this happens.

"BGV"? What is that? Thx!

Thanks. I agree. He is an amazing bassplayer. I'll be sure to let him know. I was a fan of their song (which is NOT "Easy"/this one) for over a week until I realized he was my neighbour.

..and I had to play it over and over again. I contacted the band to ask if it was ok if I made a cover. He said yesofcourse etc.. and followed up with: "I can see your house from my window" Long story short: I invited him over for some home made craft beer and to play bass on this one:

Thanks, guys!

Original by James Taylor. I'm very unsure if it need more things going on in the first half. It is a never-ending-work-in-progress.

Mellotron! ?

Yep. That is the mic I used on the vocal recording.

Oh! The frustrations of a song to video process.. Camera focus, sync, surprises after "print" etc. I want a more "drunk quire feel" so I engaged a few friends to join the chorus. My own choruses are a bit lame. One has delivered so far. I expect one or two more contributions a bit later.

Yes, but I do not understand it when it comes to this push function. All it say about it is: The dual function encoders act as push-button and rotary controls. When an encoder is pressed, it may be used to change modes of operation or to change what appears in the display above the channel strips.

I still do not understand how to use the push function, though..

I'm so glad I posted this. After long time, I finally found the answer. Minutes after posting.: There is a "send" function in the "Vpot assign" section. Dunno if mostly embarrassed or happy now.

The pan button on said control surface is pushable. Does anyone have a clue on how to make it adress the send function as I push it/them? Or is there a combo I can assign to the pan itself? I guess the push/down modes are represented here in the upper left section, 2nd row.. (?)

Nope. Just the tracks in that drum folder.

I put all drums in a folder. After some work, I collapsed the folder and worked on other areas in the mix. Today, I discovered that all effect racks in that folder was turned off. I had to rethink everything. What did I do? I mean, how did I do that, because it was never done intentionally.
