Multiple saves write a file not visible to CbB/Sonar till you rename it. It is good for a quick save. I usually do save as song 01, song 02, etc. Sometimes I use save as- song 01 - new tempo or song 01 - added strings. You would be surprised how helpful these file names with edit info are. Sometimes I save as song 01a, song 01b if there are minor changes I want to capture.

No one mentioned the band mate feature of EZ3. You should read about it before you pick a paid product. Someone mentioned they did not hear EZ3 on the charts, but they also didn’t mention that SD is in a bunch of songs. It is the next thing to having a drummer on call. I totally agree it is very expensive, but it is a professional product. No one would know what would be right for you except you. Just do your research like you’re doing now!

If the export is softer, you could have bussing errors.

The export dialog is really good in cakewalk. But, If you can open the song, my 1st suggestion would be to use the file - save copy as. Give it a new name and a new folder. Then try this version.

#1 would be to upgrade to Sonar because it has the feature you want already built into it. #3 Nudge. Look it up in Cake help file. It will show you how to set it up and how to use it. Or google “cakewalk nudge”

That’s super cool. I gigged a few years with a Crumar! Great prices back in the day.

Magix & FL studio too

1) Sonar has this feature built into it. It is there for shifting slow attack strings so the timing feels correct. 2) you could add a time alignment plugin. Several companies make them. 3) If you need this frequently, you should look up the nudge feature. It can easily shift + & - amounts.

My cousin helped him learn to play drums.

Do you use it on tracks, busses, master??

Turn off plugin scan on program start.

Oh no! I just upgraded a couple of days ago! I’m going to email just to see if there would be any discount.

Yes in Mercury!

I have mercury, but there’s one plugin in this free pack that’s not even in Mercury!

Thanks. I have used https://www.scintilla.org but not notepad2. I will look into it. thanks ☺️

Yes I have many backups. What happened is I added and organized things quite a bit I opened it up and one of my main folders got deleted. I blame it on my phone. The screen is too sensitive. Sometimes it clicks when I assume it since the heat from my finger or something. I just need to move the synth (lost folder) to the current layout. I’ll look at the editor. That would be a great addition for the current plugin layout editor. I tried excel it was a no go.

I looked at the pkg files. The look to be some type xml files. I’m not sure if I could correctly edit them with notepad.

I didn’t even know they were text files! I’ll go open one up just in a little bit thanks!

I have backups, but I have made hours of changes on the version with the missing section. Is there any hack to save the lost section and import it back to the newer one? I had some software that someone here wrote. I can’t remember if it is capable of this task???

I have been using Waves Kramer Helios for years. I just got the UAD version. I haven’t used it long enough to know if I like it better. I will say that I love the Kramer Helios. I use it on the bus. Anything I want a little tiny crutch it’s a very sweet pleasant distortion. I just send a little over to the to that bus. The saturation that thing put on the track really pulls it forward in the mix.

Does any one use any of these?

He might be talking about MPE. I think that is the correct letters. Or possibly midi 2.0

Thank you for all the people you have helped here including me!

“hundred wavs to weed thru.“ Right click on any clip to find the connected audio file. Last selection in list “associated audio file” If you wanted a kind of back up thing, you could use “save copy as” This will create the entire structure track audio files. The audio might not match older versions of audio.

I thought I knew most of this, but I watched the video anyway. I’m certainly glad I did. There is a wealth of information in this video. Fast pace and not boring. I forget from time to time and all of these pages are available. Almost too fast in some areas. I guess that’s what rewind and replay is for!! Thanks for posting this.
