Bristol Jonesy you have made my day -and saved me so much time. I use keyboard shortcuts all the time and saved them all in a file, but adding a new one is often daunting. Please message me if you need any help with music, keys, mixing, your dog. Much appreciated.

I'm not catching this. How to I get to those places you are talking about? I have a shortcut the volume envelope on/off toggle but I can't find clip gain. Where is Toggle Track? Where is the edit filter? Where is Track View Area?

I did it in the registry twice obviously with the other computers. I'll see which is easier. Thanks. yea I have that. Looked kind of foreboding but I'll look again.

Hi. I have done this fix a few times over the years but don't know how to do it now. I have the old manuals how to do it but was wondering if there is an easier way than going into the registry and typing everything in? If anybody has any recent news (like in the last 10 years -Ha -it would be much appreciated. Its crippling not having this as I have to export and import out of Cakewalk into SoundForge and back.

what it says in the title. I try to open Cakewalk on the new computer and it says to sign in to my Bandlab account. I am there, I see my profile pic. Even open Cakewalk from the Bandlab app. Opens -get the same prompt. (not activated -please sign in to your Bandlab account to activate Cakewalk.) It wasn't like this before -meaning setting up the new computer is an ongoing project and up until now when I opened it was fine.

Lost. Is this a new forum and is Sonar $49.99 a month? I just looked it up online. Can you point me to the already-started discussions on this? I do a lot of pro bono and very low budget productions and the expense would kill me. Thanks

thanks. A bit behind here. Is there an update? Is this really the price? https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Buy-Now/SONAR-Platinum

That's what they are called. High Definition Masters. It's new to me. I have asked the Mastering Engineer to get back to me.

hi Max. That's not enough, sorry. I don't think you read clearly what the problem is. I need to know specifically what to do. Open a midi track and set the Korg to what channel? Where does the Waterfall go? I need a play-by-play. I have never done this and can't see it in my minds eye. The Korg is an analog audio instrument. I am using the midi from my MODX.

trying to figure out how to control the rotary toggle in real-time with a pedal or modulation. Sometimes the simplest things just don't compute in my brain. I want to use my Korg CX3 audio out into a stereo channel, yet be able to use midi implementation on the VST UAD Waterfall. How do you do that? I have my MODX connected via midi to facilitate this but how do you route the mod from that to the UAD Waterfall. Of course, if I use the mouse it works, but that is not an option. I want to be able to do it in real time. My Korg CX3 also has midi but I split the keyboard and don't think I can record channel 1 and 2 at the same time in Cakewalk. Edit -just received this from the UAD forum. "because the waterfall has to be loaded as a "midi controlled effect" audio gets into it via the "side chain input" of the plugin. you'll have to check in your daw how you do that. Select your organ audio track as the side chain input and mute the audio track so you don't hear both at the same time." Any takers?

I Just received HD masters from one of my mastering engineers. It's been a while since I have used him. Is this what people do now? Is there any downside? (meaning, they used to just be masters -now they are HD Masters. UPDATE from Mastering Engineer: Hi Michael, I hope all is well. We’re glad you liked the mastering. We sent you HD files because they represent the best quality file you requested. Most digital distributors take HD files nowadays, and we feel this is the best way to judge the mastering. Each project is different, and we use different tools depending on the source materials. As long as you are happy with the sound. Upon approval, we will generate the remaining files. I hope this helps.

thanks, everybody. I am just going with lowering the input gain which was my initial question. I was looking for confirmation, not direction if that makes sense and I got it. The individual tracks all sound fine, and he wants a really hot mix. I am using a clipper on some tracks. The mixes already sound a thousand times better so I am not going to start from scratch. The client is stoked. I also added keys as a bonus. Thank you, and thank you again.

I don't use prochannel.

yes, never considered the output volume. talking about the input gain.
