Sends always default to post fader so that as you pull down the level on the track channel, it also reduces the send level to the reverb bus. Evidently you either have the fader pretty far down or the track itself is relatively quiet. Beware: in Pre-fader (button off), if you mute the track or fade out the signal, the level of reverb will remain fixed.

Does the reverb PI itself have a MIX control? if put on a send bus insert, it should be *normally* set to maximum.

This has been stock and standard for as long as I can remember. The OS Registry maintains a hold on the filename, even after it is closed out of CbB, UNLESS you load a different project in between. Not a bug in Cake, as this will occur with Adobe Acrobat, Corel, Lightroom, etc. as well.

Open <Preferences>[p] Set the metronome to "use audio metronome" with the output to your master bus, tick the <playback> box and you're set. ALSO: Not a good idea to put your email addy or phone # in a post on this forum!

Best of luck! It's an exclusive club, but I'm a voting member, so I'll see if I can add to the tally. Meantime... get your tux cleaned & pressed.

One issue with the Shreddage line is that they are so ultimately customizable that 'generic' Artmaps are useless. I have one instance of S3 that has 4 different maps, depending on which preset I'm using. Nice try though...

Make your settings for <Auto Focus> & <Auto Lock> in the PRV and save them into a custom workspace.

Sorry folks, I had to pull this as I now have the entire soundtrack production under contract for Q2 of next year!

Normally when writing CC7 and CC11, the data will continue to the end of the track at the last recorded level, as evident in your pix for CC1 & CC21. This is to be expected. The pix for CC11 & CC7 have jitter issues. I would agree with @Variorum regarding the dirt. Use some good quality aerosol Electronic contact CLEANER (available in many hardware stores) and see if that gets rid of the jitter. These units are using a mid-grade Bourns sliding potentiometer driving the analog inputs of an ARM Teeny 4.x uProc board converting analog voltage to a digital USB signal. You can learn to program the CC assignments yourself, but it's deeply engaging for neophytes, which is why they have the programming ability built into a Chrome Browser window. Your device connects to the server, you enter your requested data into the script, then reloads the script back into your unit. In short... there are very few ways that the uProc A/D conversion can send out unstable or jittery data unless the input is sketchy. Clean 'em. Maybe some electronic switch lubrication fluid will extend the life as well. Failing that, you may need a couple of the faders replaced (under warranty?!) as they are not really well quality controlled in manufacture.

They are either still entries in one of your custom PI layouts and just need to be removed from there, or you might need to do a manual rescan of plugins. Every thing that I have ever excluded on purpose never show up again.

Verry kool @treesha! Has a post punk Dupeche Mode / Kraftwerk vibe to it.

Silly question here... but; if you have spinning drives, have you inspected the fragmentation lately? And if SSD, what is their health/error rate?

9900k I've researched well the newer procs, 11th &12th gen are OK, 13th showed significant code anomalies. At least untill Win11 gets its act together a little more. Win 10 is rick solid for me, so I'll only upgrade kickin' & screamin'.

Ditto with @gustabo re: <1sec timing on i9 @3.4Ghz desktop w/64Gb RAM.

I use much better string sections than you named (CW SI String Section) so I have access to the instruments with a Sustain (longs) articulation, and other additional articulations like Pizzi or Staccato. But you can still emulate (to some extent) a similar function by duplicating the notes that you want more attack on with an additional track of SI Strings, copy the desired notes to drive it, and reduce the attack and release time, the length of the notes to 32nd or less, and diminish the reverb so that they sound like shorts. The problem with SI Strings is that it is done with synthesized string sounds, not actual sampled sounds, so it can sound funky and artificial. Then mix levels to taste. You can't do this operation with just one instance of the instrument. And you can't do this with any kind of percussion, unless it is tuned percussion, like Timpani or the like, but I don't recommend that. Just like layering 2 or 3 kick drum instruments to get the sound that you want.

In late 1973 I was working in a small, boutique music store in my local mall when a guy brought in a 1958 Les Paul Gold Top with P-90s, and I immediately put a downstroke on it so that it wouldn't be resold. It took me a while (at minimum wage at the time) to pay it off before the boss would let me take it home. The lacquer was slightly alligatored around the pickup switch and on the face of the headstock, but otherwise was near mint. In 1984, in Chicago, I was low on rent money and was trying to save up for my wedding, so I had to let it go for $1600, about 3x what I paid. Also sold my 1978 Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck in cherry at the same time for $600. FOOL! In 1998 I was doing a gig at A&M Studios in LA and on some down time went over to the Guitar Center flagship on Sunset for some small stuff, and guess what I saw hanging on the top rack... my LP! I had them pull it down and recognized the serial number and the finish, somewhat worse for wear. List price was $24,995. I just about sh*t my pants.

If I want extra attack on the expression of a sustained note or phrase, I'll duplicate the MIDI data to another track with another instance of the instrument using a short articulation like pizzicato or staccato. Works great.

Although I'm a bit disappointed that the September offering is 1.1Gb and monophonic.

Obviously it is not mission critical, but the first few times it happened, I scrambled to figure out what caused absolutely no sound after the operation. Chased my tail around all of the inputs, outputs, etc. for a while. I have a work-around, but just thought that it probably shouldn't be causing this behavior.

In the Inspector section, you must be viewing the ProChannel first, not channel strips. Then the EQ will pop out on dbl-clik. Of the 5 buttons at the top of that view, the PC is the far right one.

I just noticed an issue (but just confirmed that it existed in 2022.11 as well on a different machine) and would like anyone here to confirm if you would in 2023.09. 1. Insert Scaler 2.x as an instrument track (track 1). It doesn't seem to matter if you use VST2 or VST3. 2. Insert a new MIDI track (track 2) and create a series of chord triads (altho the actual MIDI data seems irrelevant) 3. Drag-n-Drop the MIDI clip into the Detect section of the Scaler PI window. Does your Audio Engine automatically disable? This does NOT occur if playing the MIDI clip into the Scaler Detect section and recording the MIDI data from the MIDI track output to Scaler Track input. Can anyone explain if there is a good reason for this anomaly? I wonder if this would be possible to fix in the expected SONAR? This confused me several times (OK... actually phreaked me out!), until I just committed to memory to LMB on the Audio Engine button before playing. @Noel Borthwick; not asking for a fix at the moment, just an explanation as to why.

It could be just an anomaly in that session. Try a clean session template with just one recorded audio track... edit out a chunk and see if problem persists.

It does require some forethought, as I have not found a smooth/swift way to do it post insertion, but... If you have any idea how many outputs that you want your Kontakt instance to default to (ie: you can create a default with 8 outputs [4 stereo pairs] and save it as Kontakt-8out for example ) then when you open that VSTi instance using nearly any technique like RMB in the Track View - Header area you can use "Instrument Track Per Output" as such. Tick the box and number of tracks and choose the desired Bus output, you should be good to go. This can also be done (in a similar way) using any of the 'Insert Instrument' dialogue routes, just different visuals.

I'm on 2023.09 since the Release Candidate came out, and the config setting <Editing><Clips> operates perfectly on my machines.

This is such a rudimentary question that I'm going to steer you to a series of videos so that you can learn the basics:
