Wow, that's amazing. Someone should post this. Is it ok if I do it?

ClarityVX is phenomenal! You would have to try it for yourself to see what it does. I just did some video "Audio" editing for a high-end wedding videographer. She was amazed with the results and so was I! I also had to use Unveil and SPL De-Verb! The audio was a mess.

You never have to WUP. I have gone several years at times. It just depends. If your favorite plugins have had improvements and whether your bundle adds new plugins you want, go for it.

Well, I have been working on this for a few days. It seems to be fixed for some reason. The original crash was 09 or one version before that. Since then, I have updated two times. At this time, there are NO crashes!! I do wish there was some way to look for faulting plugins. It's always someone taking shortcuts programming plugins and not strictly following VST3 protocol. There will always be great new plugins that you want to try that are faulty. Maybe there could be a "sandbox" app with white noise or something to check for faults. I hope you guys can figure out something. Thanks to you and all the team for all the hard work you are putting into Cakewalk! The bug fix list is phenomenal! It would be cool to have a count of how many have been fixed since Bandlab took ownership. The Lexicon Dual Delay bug was fixed also that's for that too. Thank you, Max Arwood

It is kind of a pain. Every time you reopen the piano view, you get to close a bunch of empty controller lanes you are not using, so you can actually see the ones you want to work with.

Yes, I do large projects. Sometimes 100+ tracks and 100+ plugins. If one is bad, it takes forever to unselect each one from loading.

I'm a sucker for saturation apps! I'll go check this one out, I thought it looked like Vertigo VSM-3 - Almost the same "color" lol!

I didn't see that. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, mine was free too. You know, I tried to like this thing before, but never got the sounds I was looking for. I use the Lexicon Reverb bundle, Valhalla and Seventh Heaven the most. I'm going to try this new revision and see if I like it better than V3. If you guys find something you really like in V4 post is here.

reginaldStjohn is correct, there are none in Cakewalk

I think Melodyne does this.

Archiving tracks is what I always do. Most of my projects are 80-120 tracks. I don't have the horsepower to keep them live! I get into problems with bus processors. Sometimes I like to keep a few synths live for editing. It will export with the FX turned off. I tried the double precision engine off and 64 bit processing off. I didn't try MMCSS, yet I was reading about it last night. I turned all the FX off on another project then turned them on one folder full at a time. Finally, I found it was bus effects on the other song. I'm going to take this one apart one plugin at a time LOL!! Well, maybe one group at a time. Till I find it!! Thanks for the tips.

I wish there was a way to locate these when it happens. Thanks

Yes I did. The projects dump files are in my Google Drive I sent it in really late last night to the standard cakewalk support.

No way. Those are great plugins. Glad to know how to fix it. Thanks!!

I found mine! Problem Report (#724283). Figured it out kind of. For me it was a combination of GW MixCentric, AR, TG Mastering and IMPusher in the bus area. It took a LONG time to figure this out. Thanks to Bitfilpper for suggesting plugins in the bus area might be the problem. I don't know what happened. After mixing all night as usual, LOL, I opened the file the next day and there was a pop then no sound. All I had to do is to was to delete these three plugins and put them back in. Simple enough, but there were 69 tracks with 96 plugins on them, including the bus effects. It took a bunch of time to figure out which it was. Ok, but what caused this to happen to this song to begin with. It was playing just fine the night before and did not play the next day? If I can do anything to help let me know.

I know I have 2 requests for help in a row. I'm getting a bunch of these lately. Mostly when the songs are almost finished. I know it is probably plugin related, but I can't seem to figure out what combination of plugins is causing this. Any Ideas?

I have several orchestra libraries.

It’s a great priced library when it is on sale. Sounds pretty good too.

I have had this happen as well. I had a ton of plugins loaded. Turning off master bus effects made the file play sometime. I sent a cwp file to support. Nothing from them about it. Did you have a lot of effects in the project? Was the cakewalk cpu/disc meter high? I would like to get to the bottom of this too. My meters were pegged after the pop. My export was a pop then there was a full volume wave form.I didn’t analyze it to see what frequency it was. To get help. You need to furnish -> what audio card? what is the latency set to? computer cpu memory? What versions - Cakewalk? Windows? You should also report this to support https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I had a VIC-20 lol

The clips look ok. If you computer plays other music ok. It could be that the track output could be pegged??

I went to NAMN one year and went to a session by a famous mixer guy. He did the same thing you are doing, but he edited the volume of every single “s” . I would use the sissor tool, cut each side of the S’s. Do about 5 -10 at a time. Click on them from left one 1st end on the 1st one. This will put your cursor in the right position. CTRL-click them till you are at the 1st s. Then Ctrl-x. That cuts them from the track. Click the number label on the track where you want to move them. Ctrl-v. They are moved. No reason to group them. Place markers on chapters or save as ch1.cwp, ch2 .cwp etc and splice the chapters together when you are finished. Compression and Eq will work fine. If you decide to look into a deEsser you will probably still have some that need a little more editing. Clip gain is great for that. Both tracks should be outputted to a bus as someone mentioned before. google free deEsser SpitFish and Lisp are both good. You should also get the free Melda bundle if you don’t already have it My favorite lower priced one is waves renaissance deEsser. Don’t pay more than $29 for it. Plugin Alliance also has one called SPL deEsser if you don’t like waves.

Any outboard would be better. You can’t expect to get a great recording without a little outboard equipment. You might see producers using a laptop, but they are not using an inboard mic. There are plenty of outboard usb setups that are descent. Maybe some one here will chime in with some suggestions.
