How is a MIDI file tempo determined?
DragDrop example
1) Project bpm = 200
2) bounce midi to clip> drag it from Cbb to Desktop
3) Play in default windows Media Player and WTF just happened to the tempo? It's slow and completely ignored the Cakewalk Project tempo.

Export midi works as expected.
...i know this is covered somewhere and i swear i tried to find  it before posting!

@Lord TimThank you!
@Milton SicaPrefs> Keyboard Shortcuts, then just make whatever key-combo you like

Was able to make Key Binding in Cakewalk "Run Cal" but not yet figured out a way to run a specific script.

Looking how to set up a way to have Stream Deck run a Cal Script.
Right now it just want to open Cakewalk, yet it's already open.
 

@msmcleodyes I call that Laser Beam select! I've messed up a few projects with it.
A good feature request would to have a toggle so it only selects what is visible.

@JnTuneTech....well I agree. and do not understand how "min/max range" is being interpreted.
F1 thru F1 to me means only select F1, yet for some reason it selects every thing below F1. I also tried the "exc" check boxes.
Any  vid tutorial for this?
 

Thanks for letting me know.
restart PC and try again.
A-300 Pro ---> connected via USB - in and out of Cakewalk works as expected
XP-30---> connected via MIDI  - input in and out of Cakewalk works as expected

New project + Scaler
image 1) created a simple 2 chord pattern drag with Link on / off same result.

 

Hey, this looks interesting!

"Process - Find/Change" tool, on the MIDI track in question

Scaler 2 version 2.7.3. as VST3  is so fun!
There is this strangeness, "MIDI CAPTURE" then drag notes to a track, is placing a stack of extra notes in every pitch.
What are some things to check, Anyone know why this happens and how to avoid , ?

The notes are very tiny, so didn't notice this was happening at first.
also Posted this at Scaler forum.

1)Event List -  what exactly does Multi select allow to be multiselected AND changed  at the same time?
2) What's the procedure to change various multiselcted notes to the same pitch? (all theses selected notes  equal to E)

After Deleting "Section 1 - Section 4" The next created default will be "Section 5"
Is there a way to reset the auto counting? So it would start over at "Section 1" etc.

Without changing the Project Tempo, How to Time Stretch MIDI  by an exact amount?150%or 25.5%
Shift+Ctrl Clip, Time Stretch is giving values like 114%

Thanks, I have everything working and don't want to mess it up. But several Programs scan all the VST3 files and I only need a few.
If I can just move the stray vst3 into folders, then scan will be much more efficient.
So as long as the vst3 are located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3Common Files vst3 location it should work.

if vst3 files are placed outside of the path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3Common Files vst3

Will it effect performance or cause any issues in Cakewalk?

Many vst3 files are not in folders, and a scan will look at EVERYTHING.
I want to make custom folder with a select few vst, but that means duplicating the vst3 or moving it into a folder.

Will Scaler2 work in a VEP7 setup?
It seems the idea is to Offload all VST plugins to VEP7 and leave Cakewalk to record and mix.
Not sure if all VST such as Scaler can be setup this way or would work correctly?
 

How to delete Multiple Tracks CC1 Control Data

example
Project contains many tracks that have CC1 (Modulation) data that needs a good deleting.

1) Select All tracks
2) Edit> Select by Filter (only chose Control) This will Unselect all your tracks (so they wont get deleted)
THEN
3) Edit> Delete
 

Built in useful tools, just need a refresh!

Looking for some "MIDI Step Record" tutorials, although there are lots for Step Sequencer.
Is the Step Sequencer the new / preferred way to make Arp patterns? Not Trying to make drum patterns just some Synth and piano Arps.

These are useful tools, yet the UI is tiny and not resizable.

Hi @Lynn WilsonCan you explain?
It's set to :
OMNI IN,
Channel 1,
MASTER OUT

How do we get VST3 Plugins to MIDI out? I've noticed this on a few other plugins as well.

How to get an Arp Pattern out of SoundPaint and onto a Track? (looking for drag/drop MIDI)

SoundPaint - A Few Issues
1) Create a Loop
2) step record a pattern in SoundPaint Arp
3) Sync with DAW
4) Play
5) The Arp in Sound Paint is Doubling Notes then when it loops to the start it plays one singlew note 6x.
It sounds more like RANDOM than the note pattern A-D-F-D-F-D
restart and setup again with same results.

- share metadata in a related text file

This is also something that works well. Just making a text file with all the song info and only a few important tags in the file name. or both.
Both favorites. When the power goes out it won't matter anyway.
~ redundancy department.

~ Thanks, I really appreciate all the helpful suggestions!
...so I just need to pick a naming convention and stick to it.
As each Project is opened, re-name using the new Naming convention and make sure the Folder + Projects + Exported Audio are all the same.
 like what @Tom Taylor listed, I need to figure out some meaningful shorthand for all this info!
The BAND name will tell me what playing style is happening. (Heavy, Classical, Orchestral, Quad Tapping,, etc.)

1) How dangerous would it be to rename Folders and Projects outside of Cakewalk, Would it mess with the linked Audio?
Some projects are outside of a folder and there are a few loose "Audio" folders that's one reason I'm trying to get this figured out.

The names for the different Tuning is a challenge, open for suggestions.
Semantics is an issue Like "KEY" for Legend or symbols not the key of the Song.
Capo, with a K makes more sense since "K" is not a musical note, but ...well look up that word.

2) can we use "(6}" or "[8]" in a file and Project name?

TAGS NECESSARY IN FILE NAME
BAND - SONG - DATE - GUITAR + STRING# - TUNE- CATEGORY - VERSION
 

TAG IDEAS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A-440Hz
STRING #
6S = Six String  / Nylon = 6SNY / Acoustic = 6SAC
7S = Seven String
8S = Eight String
QT - Quad Tap

TUNE

6S ..................................................................................................E.-A-D-G-B-e
6S Drop D (E down to D).....................................................D-A-D-G-B-e
6S Drop C (E down to C) Capo 3rd Fret at (A-e) .......C-C-D-G-B-e   / Open Strings (C-A-D-G-B-e)
6S HSB (Heart Shaped Box)...............................................D-A-E-A-C-e
7S............................................................................................G-C-G-C-F-A-D
8S.................................................................................F#  B  D  A  D  G  B   e

drop D = dD
6S drop C = 6S dC c3a-e (this looks atrocious! lol)

usually purchase VST from PluginBotique, I just noticed: BestService also has sales but never tried it.
Any CBB forum members use this site?
 

XO looks like a fun way to organize and view WAV files.
Anyone using this in Cakewalk and not necessarily for drums?

Try to do the same by removing the controller from the control surface

Sorry, i'm not understanding what's what in this setup. There's the actual Hardware (APC) A-PRO controller and then the (CUI) Controller UI that mimics the APC.
