@msmcleod. It's good to know that it's not supposed to re-scan. I check to see if files' attribute changed. But then other plug-ins are no longer in there. And that's is the issue I'm having, it re-scans every folders I have defined.

unchecked the "re-scan existing plug-ins" but it still does a full re-scan. Is there a way to scan just the new plug-in?

If you search the old Sonar forum, there are several in-depth threads on External Insert. From what I recall when I was setting this up is the Sonar/CbB reported latency is right. External Insert does, however, have an issue with incorrect calculation for compensating for the latency, only matters if you record a track (with ext Insert) into existing tracks. Basically the 'ball park' for round trip latency is at least twice the buffer setting (out- back in) plus number of buffer. Bbased on your setting of 384, the latency at the minimum would be twice that. I don't know Reaper, but 70 is not right for round-trip latency

I can confirm the Bounce to clips issues. I select a bunch of clips (can be on different lanes) and do a bounce to clip. Sometimes only a few (not all the selected clips) got bounced but the original clips are still there (sometimes on the very same layer/lane so you cant't really see, sometimes not) which results in a double gain level which can be seen on the Track view. I work around by trail and error, select a couple clips that seem to bounce ok together, and repeat with other clips. SPlat does this too, btw, so an inherited issue from Sonar.

Now I see why that "Import Screenset" is grayed out. Seems like an awkward way to do. Would be good to be able to export/save (like the colors theme set) and the project can point to them (like preset in VST)

For new projects yes. However I'm using CbB on old Sonar projects. To me the Screen-set is so finicky, and all the views docking/floating don't seem to stick.

I have created and saved a few screensets exactly how I like them, for example when using single monitor or multiple monitors. From what i can tell, the saved screensets are limited to the project that it was created in. Is there a way to 'globally' save them and use them in any project, or as a set of default?

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

Great! thx for the video. Always good to learn something new.

Ripple edit is meant to work for a single track right? I need to do this for all tracks in a project. This warning in the manual is exactly what I want to be able to do: "Caution: Ripple editing can cause unexpected results when editing multiple tracks, so use caution and check the results before you proceed with additional edits."

For example, I want to delete a section or a measure of the project so I selected all the tracks (ctrl-A) select the range on the timeline bar and do a delete special with delete whole, checked all the markers, tempo, events, ... The issue is it doesn't delete 'whole'. The section only got deleted on some tracks but not all tracks. Tempo and markers are also hit or miss. The interesting thing is no matter what, it seems to follow the exact same behavior for that project. The question is what causing a certain tracks to be omitted from the execution? and is there a way that it would work consistently?

Perhaps I can suggest a small change that could further enhance Lanes and not alienated the Layers camp: Currently if the lanes are collapsed, the 'parent' track shows all clips (including muted clips) for any lane that is not muted. Which makes the track view cluttered, confusing (active clip could be hidden below muted clip) and thus not useful for editing. What if the track only shows active clips? So after you have selected the clips you want to keep in the lanes, you can use the track to do editing. Yes you can use Flatten Comp, but I almost never use Flatten Comp since it's destructive process.

Could you confirm and show me where in the menu it is? I don't see any envelop in the Right click menu. For me the env cannot be activated in the Take Lane once moved out of the that lane. You can collapse the lanes and go to the Track and edit the clipthere but not in the Take Lane.

I know that there's Clip env in the Track itself and Clip env in each Take Lane. I'm talking about the Clip env in the Take Lane. Perhaps my terminologies are wrong, but here some specific examples : 1. Let say you have clips, (Record 1, Record 2, Record x) in a Take Lane, and you want to lower the gain for the clip Record 1. So you create a gain env in that Take Lane, now you have gain env for all the clips in that Take Lane, i,e, Record 2, Record x also have gain env. Wouldn't it be better to, say, right click on Record 1 and create a gain env just for Record 1? 2. Now you create some nodes and change the gain for the various part of Record 1. Now copy or move Record 1 to another Take Lane, yes the env is copied with the clip but try to add/delete nodes or change the gain level of the env of the copied or moved clip, it won't let you do it. 3. Let say you leave the Take Lane gain env active (Clip Automation selected), and you draw some env for some clip on another Take Lane but within the same time frame as Record 2, now suddenly Record 2 have the nodes drawn onto its env, when you don't intend to touch Record 2 at all. This behavior is not consistent but occurred more than enough to be annoying.

I played with it for awhile could not figure it out, no locked screenset and no Lens.

Keni, I'm talking about Clip env. In Clip env, the env is created for the entire take lane. If you then later move/copy that clip to another lane or track, you cannot edit the env for the copied or moved clip. What I'm saying is to have those env part of the clip and not the lane.

For some reason when I open a project, the Browser tab (docked on the right) is always open by default. Is there away to keep it minimize-docked? I did the save screen, but it still open when project loaded.

After all that said, what I really work on are clips. Would be great if the clip object can be part of the Take Lane or whatever. My issue is the envelopes in the Take Lane. For example, when I create a gain envelope for a clip, that envelope should be only for that clip and not the entire lane and all of the other clips in that lane.

Eureka! Disable Window Defender and not display the load dialog doesn't have any affect. However, I noticed that the CbB process was set to compatibility mode Window7. Uncheck this in the process properties and the load time is now compatible to SPlat.

Windows 7. Mine is not connect to network when in use. I can disable window defender and see.

I posted similar observation in the old Sonar forum, but just found out about this new forum. It's New Year so in with the new.? I did a comparison of open the exact same projects and CbB consistently took 2 to 3 times longer than SPlat. As if SPlat loads from cache and CbB loads from disk. The projects typically have a couple VST instruments and Drums and a couple dozen plug-ins or so. Anyone experiencing this and is there a setting somewhere to bypass that lower right corner pop-up (loading ...), perhaps that where the issue is.
