Regarding 'hanging' microphones; a couple reasons that he overlooked: Yes, heat was a factor, but... ...suspending a mic allowed for a group of vocalists to get tighter around the sweet spot (Motown developed this technique to an art form on omni mics)... ...and whether solo or group, it required the singer(s) to aim level or slightly upwards, opening the throat and promoting more diaphragm extension for stronger delivery... ... and it reduced spit & sibilance, negating the need for a splatter screen. I learned this from one of the engineers for Elvis over 40 years ago.

I DO NOT have any rights to this composition. Back in 2019 when I was teaching Composition, Editing, and Engineering to an online Zoom channel, I made up this little example as an ear training tool for my students. The piece has three turnarounds of the phrase, one is done live on my 1974 Alvarez 5063, and the other two are done with the Indiginus Renegade and NI Picked Acoustic (melody). I tried very hard to get the Vi's to sound 'real'... and it was tricky.

@Chaps; you have attributed paragraph two to me, and I was not the author. Please correct.

You really should go through the last set of videos from John Vere (my last post) to familiarize yourself with what a DAW is/does, and how to get around in CW. He has done a tutorial on nearly every aspect of the program. It will take too long to try to explain how to fix your issue until you have a basic understanding of the application.

Do some homework starting HERE.

Look up "Bounce to Clips" or hilite all of the clips in the track and RMB <Bounce to Clips> or [CTRL+B]

Since this is an extremely rudimentary query, I would suggest that you learn a little about DAW's & CW in particular starting HERE. You will need an instrument to play back the MIDI data, like the TTS-1 (if you have it) or any other general MIDI synth. The GM (General MIDI) synth is no longer available in Win10, so you will need to DL something to play back the notes. Did you DL the included Cakewalk instruments using the CW Product Center? If you don't have an external MIDI device (Keyboard/Pads controller) then nothing will show up in the MID Devices section of the Prefs. Or you could use the Virtual Controller to input notes too. There is also a long discussion of free VST instruments in this THREAD.

Laptop or tower? If tower, I highly recommend NVME SSD on the MOBO or In a Pcie slot. They are so much faster to load sample instruments & since sample data doesn't change much, they don't get hit very hard with write cycles.

Marcato articulations have a fast, strong, or robust attack on a sustained note. If this is not available in your package, then you may need to layer the instrument with both Sustain & Spiccato articulations on separate tracks but with the same midi notes driving them.

Signal flow in a console module goes from top to bottom.

I've been using multiple Arranger tracks since they were introduced; Meter, Key, Chords, Cues (mood), & other notes (occasionally) and they work perfectly. Show or hide the ones needed. Been scoring with this program to film & video (also Nuendo, PT, & Cubase) for 18 years. Sure... it might be a workaround, but it's very viable as such.

Just remember where they are and what they do, because they are 'global' to the freeze operation. That has tripped me up more than once when I actually wanted to print the FX to unload some CPU on some subsequent track or session on the same project. But even I commit "pilot error" occasionally.

The FX that are bonded to the track bin only freeze if you have the freeze options set to do so. Freeze is generally considered to be a 'temporary' condition, hence the ability to continue to add/remove/edit FX & controls. Why worry about it?

First, look in the Control Panel for Add/Remove Programs & see if you can remove from there. That will call an uninstaller (if available for P5antom) & clean the registry entries also.

I tried to sleep in my Vapors tee shirt and now I'm Turning Japanese. [I really think so]

If you have access to a barn and a pasture, you can still use a horse & buggy if you wish. Good luck with that.

On my machines (and it took some getting used to...) the first click LMB selects the Section and all tracks, the second click selects only the Section banner. Dbl-clik opens the Arranger browser window AND selects only the banner. Still operates that way for me. Have you tried to quit & restart CbB?

For over a year now, NI has had a SW design pattern of 'one step forward, two steps back'.

Close CbB, flush your browser cache, try again. Worked for me about 2 hours ago.

Whatevs. I'll continue to make my living mixing & mastering without it, regardless of what some tuber says. Have at it! BoL!

Reqs: Windows 10 or higher. 64-bit VST 2/3 or 64-bit AAX host. Free trial allowed. It is just another 'mastering' compressor, so... Try it and see.

There goes the neighborhood.

I look at it like flight training; you must learn how to take off, fly level, and land using VFR rules, then graduate to IFR experience, and then you are free, after growing a pair, to do the barrel roll and split-ess to your hearts desire. But you never lose sight of the horizon, the floor, or the ceiling, else you be in trouble.
