Did a recording session with "Takes create New Lane" There are multiple takes each with several take lanes.
there was no click track, so many of the audio files do not line up since there was no loop.
What is a good way to listen to each of the takes? Is this a good situation for "Comping" even though the files don't line up?
Except for the first lane the take lanes are all muted so I'm looking for a quick way to listen to the track as it's selected without hitting "Q" to unmute.

About to mix a song and thought I find out here at the forum about Console Emulation and how best to use it.

1. Since there are both Bus and Channel If you have it on a channel would you also want it on the bus? 
2. do you calculate the amount of channels and do Drive fractions that add up to (1)?
   CHNL 1 Drive = .5
   CHNL 2 Drive = .5

Open to any suggestions from anyone that has Console Emulation workflow.
Not sure if it matters but the recording setup is:

48hz / 24 bit no dithering (Dithering is added when doing the Mastering in Ozone 6)

You are so wise! I never used the Groove Clip Section before, only Loop Construction.  Now I see the connection between them Thanks again!

recorded  (what I thought)  was a simple 4/4 riff that spanned 2 measures and wanted to loop it. The loop is getting stretched to 4 measures.
How to set up Cakewalk to record then loop 1 measure without it stretching?

@fossilewill look into it, thanks for the idea! I'm trying to tidy up all the folders and Libraries before backing up the HDD.

@Noel Borthwickthanks. that did work, I'll email and see if they can help.

@John VereCommand Center is not sending the pass login. Scolding aside, yes I have almost all of my plugins but not this one, hence the WTF

Cakewalk does not have tech support and BandLab is an endless loop of no help. Rapture Pro Download not in Cakewalk My Products.
Please let me know where to get it, or just share the install
I really don't know where else to look. I have the reg dates and serials for all my SONAR purchases so not sure why it's not listed.

How to safely re link Cakewalk specific instruments? ideally would like to have a "Cakewalk Sample Library" for any of the vst related plugins.
I found several duplicates of DimPro And Rapture and noticed the exe is in the same folder as the samples. This is a completely different structure than every VST where each part is split to:
Program Files for exe
VST Folder  C:\VST for all the vst.dll
S:\Sample Libraries

I'd like to fix the duplicate issue but not sure which dll is linked to the exe

So the idea is that the Latency still exists but the reverb blends it together so it's not noticeable?
Pre-Delay is something I just learned about and is so important for Recording Classical guitar, getting the transients.

Yes and what I'm finding is VST3 bring my system to a crawl. I have better luck with VST2x64.

@Craig AndertonDang, When Elon perfects Neurolink I think a lot of Cakewalk users would like to plugin to your brain! VST2x64 of course.

Organizing Plugins and trying to de clutter. I don't use any 32bit anymore and I don't want PopClicks or Dropouts.
Which do you use and why? Better to use VST3 x64 or VST x64?
If there are known issues please post here.

(Right Click Menu) Right Click + Split Auto Random Color or pre determined Color Sequence

Currently a recording is split have to go to all the way over to track info to change the Clip Property> Foreground.
This would be really cool to pre assign a series of colors when splitting a long piece of music into different parts. each part would be a different color shade stops apart.
1) Pre select a color (256 shades of Red)
2) Random (infinite shades of color)

RCM Split at selection would have the options to create a series of user defined colors or random colors.

It might be intended to work this way?
If a measure of music is pre selected and "Double Click or Drag to add selection" it makes a tiny chunk, and ignores the size already selected.
It's not a problem as I'm only now getting to learn it.

@bvideoI think 'Snap Offset' is what i'm interested in. There was a demo years ago by Joey Sturgis  where he tracked guitars, selected the clip and split ate each transient.

@Blogospherianmanyea I don't think looping is what I want, but not clear about your technique. Is there a vid reference of this?
 

I guess at this price range they all do about the same thing?

$99 Softube Tape - Tape Machine Emulation
$30  Analog Pro
$50 Kramer Master Tape

@Craig Andertonthank you that really is well explained AND with audio examples! Your ability to write music and detailed articles is impressive!
@GreenLightyea a good example is $99 Softube Tape vs $29 Analog Pro. Hmm I need my song to worble like it's played on a FisherPrice Stereo plastic Disc! ..oh and don't forget the dust noise, gotta add a sprinkle of that.

It's the same in 3D animation, gotta add the imperfections to make it look real.
Digital and HD and 8k etc, I think that we liked the lie. Kids these day don;t even know what quality is. lol

Friend is interested in Cakewalk for Mac is this correct?
any Mac users comment onSONAR Mac Prototype?

1. BandLab is the company AND the name of the online recording software it has a Mac version.
2. Cakewalk is the DAW recording software made by BandLab and it's Windows only.
3. SONAR Mac Prototype https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR-Mac-Prototype

I'm not an engineer and my ears might not pick up the subtly so Anyone that has an opinion Tell me About - Analog Tape Saturation.
What is considered  'the best' and why. There are so many including the built in Cakewalk tape. 
I think it has something to do with making the high-end not so brittle sounding?

"Play better" My internal metronome is off, Thanks for the info.
 

What are some good techniques to make Acoustic Guitar Loops without the pick attack being cut off?
I notice the transient (pick) is always before the beat. If the loop is made it cuts it off. Looks like two loops are needed.

How to get a simple B Major Chord to not look like a snake with the head cut off?

The notes were picked sequentially.  7 notes total.

B (A string 2nd fret)  F# B A#

Hey thanks everyone! I should mention why I'm asking. I was watching a tutorial and paraphrasing what the the Engineer said; Convolution reverbs have the same tail and can sound sterile, so adding a Lexicon (Algorithmic) reverb to the overall mix can help add helpful "artifacts"

So are reverbs default Algorithmic unless stated as being convolution?

so far the Brainworx sounds good + the automation is interesting. I wonder if any other reverbs have that instant ABCD selection.

Breverb 2 and whatever the Pro channel reverb is, all i've tried.

So a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away Cakewalk contained Lexicon reverbs. Does Cakewalk have any Algorithmic Reverbs? (like Lexicon)
What are some good 3rd party non-Convolution reverbs?
