https://blog.bandlab.com/introducing-bandlab-10-0/ Along with the obvious massive visual overhaul, BandLab 10.0 brings major improvements to both the social and creation experience. On top of general fixed and quality-of-life improvements, here’s an overview of some of the biggest changes and new features: Your all-new profile page A reworked Replies feature Private accounts A next-generation update to our Mix Editor A brand new Project Page A game-changing new instrument – Sampler A refreshed and remastered Mastering feature Dark mode – coming soon! Over the last few CW updates we have also seen BL integration additions inside CW. And also in the BK app on our puters. This new v10 seems to be the app on our phones/tablets BUT with the integration in CW and this new SAMPLER it has maybe some interesting possibilities for us all? I have not looked into the integration too much yet, nor the sharing of CW projects between CW itself and the BL Cloud. This could be a thing for collaboration, used as an ideas audio pad & for found sounds while out and about EDIT - Post below goes through simple process when I tried it this afternoon

Bought .. good to have in the toolbox. You also end up with 3 other FREE plugs - Canary, Cypress TT-15 and VHL-3C

Lets see how much at Plugin Boutique and Everyplugin $39 at CA

Cannot have too many COMPRESSORS If only this offer was out 2 or 3 weeks ago when I bought the 2 WAVES plugins - Scheps Omni Channel & CLA Mixhub ..

Interesting .. here in Ireland, I get This site can’t be reached - dmgaudio.com refused to connect.

Waves Scheps Omni Channel is $32.37 at everyplugin: https://everyplugin.com/scheps-omni-channel.html

Absolutely. A steal at that price. $30ish instead of $199 and better if you have codes for everyplugin etc https://everyplugin.com/cla-mixhub.html This is a quick BIO so to speak: "Plugins normally work on only one channel at a time. CLA MixHub is the first plugin to work in buckets – groupings of up to 8 channels, in up to 8 buckets in total. In other words, you can mix up to 64 channels from one CLA MixHub plugin window. By mixing tracks side by side in the MixHub’s buckets, you’ll gain a mixing perspective that lets you immediately hear how one track’s processing affects others within a song." Have a look at this vid on its usage/review:

I am a happy camper with this now. What i was looking for plus alot more I did not know about Outside of the sidechain thing it allows you to mix multiple tracks in "Buckets" Also has INSERT section for other Waves EFX Price normally - $199

Just did that and phoenix into the bargain - worked out with virtual cash for €24

@Starship Krupa OK, adjusted the topic subject line to reflect what you mentioned .. make it more generalised

This looks VERY interesting for mixing, mastering and sidechaining: https://everyplugin.com/cla-mixhub.html - $25.89 with coupon at Every

Thanks @jesse g At everyplugin I note these: https://everyplugin.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?description=&ilok_required=&manufacturer[0]=6&name=compressor&p=2&price[from]=&price[to]=&short_description=&sku=&supply_time= So many .. I would take it one should be looking for Internal/external sidechain With respect to the LMC+ .. you recommend in this regard? And vs the Waves stuff

As the title says. Which compressor is worth buying for general Compressor usage and stuff like SIDE CHAINING/Ducking? And that works in Cakewalk? NOT ALL HAVE EXTERNAL SIDE CHAINING I dont think? Added it here in Deals as I do mention BUYING and maybe there are ones on a deal that others have here worth considering

Interesting you should mention IZOTOPE on clips. I originally had IZOTOPE vst on a few of the tracks efx slot. This gave me an odd issue when i was rendering the track out to wav ( export ) .. resultant wav was all whistles at different pitches ( like a dodgy hearing aid ). So I instead added IZOTOPE EFX to the clips instead of in the track slot and that solved that problem. Export worked fine and Izotope effect worked also in the clip. As you said the issue in this thread is transient and hard to repeat .. but one wonders is it certain EFX causing this

@Jimlau A few posts below yours I posted about not being able to save but getting GENERAL ERROR. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/31227-when-trying-to-save-a-project-i-get-general-error-which-stops-me-from-saving-no-detail/ Im just adding this here wondering does the workaround I found solve your issue too. Before hitting save, temp turn off the audio engine .. Does it save now?

However I sometimes wonder as an alt to Normalising .. one could bring a lowish vol wav into Soundforge and simply use the increase volume feature, sparingly .. then after that into CW and through Gain push up another small bit

Here are 2 articles on the Normalise thing How To Normalize Audio – Why Do It? Everything You Need To Know 10 Myths About Normalization ( from 2008 )

For decades, back to 90s I have used SOUNDFORGE for my Audio editing https://www.magix.com/index.php?id=24061&L=52&AffiliateID=177&phash=vlRep1GVx8SCLu7F&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5uWGBhCTARIsAL70sLL9klu9pvR_ZS2QOsAOkr07ZQSURRKjeTycu68AgUFmYYPm_OkSxTEaAloZEALw_wcB Before you go HOW MUCH ... just keep an eye on the Humble Bundles. Quiet often they have audio bundles that include earlier versions of Soundforge, the whole bundle inc Soundforge coming to the princely sum of about $20. I ended up with Soundforge Pro 12 that way and thats what I use. I also have successfully used Soundforge to drop the vol of peaks in a very zoomed in version of a wav file. Result is you dont hear any difference in the wav file after except no peak. I also use it sometimes if say a vocal line recorded by vocalist has paper shuffles or noises between the vocal lines. I use soundforge to silence these parts. Of course the cases I outline above are when its almost impossible to get a rerecord and one has to work with the copy you have I edit the audio file inside the audio files folder of the Cakewalk Project. Of course make a backup before hand of the unedited versions if you want to fall back I would say the same could be achieved with the FREE AUDACITY audio editor BUT for me its Sound Forge all the way

I have steinberg plugs installed BUT not using them in this track. Dont think they use syncrosoft copy protection. I have the Library assistant and download assistant installed is all. No autosave not being used. In advanced prefs set to 0

@Glenn Stanton NO .. we download all files locally before using. Only use cloud ( onedrive ) to pass back and forth in different countries

Maybe once or twice a week .. BUT what I will do is keep a record from here. Twice yesterday BUT I took a punt on turning off the Audio Engine after the error occurred and the save then works The track where it is currently happening is mainly AUDIO/WAVs being sent back and forth to me from band members via cloud. As someone else mentioned it seems to happen in track heavy projects. This project currently has 28 AUDIO Tracks, some frozen as they had efx like guitarrig. Outside of that, generally the izotope stuff like Ozone, Neutron ..
