Although this sounds too obvious:

If the song was supposed to be  3:10 in length,  why don't you check to see what the extra time is from.  What I mean is there is something possibly causing the file to be longer that you expected.  Don't forget that sometime reverb/delay tails can cause the extra time (if that is what is causing the extra time.

As scook was pointing put, setting your "Selection" parameters for export will also save you that extra step of chopping the end off your file.

As 57Gregy pointed out, that was/is the original title.

I might edit it to reflect the actual problem

I did not know if that was the original title,  it just seemed to obscure to help anyone searching for the same problem.   I was not trying to be critical about it.  Thanks for adding the "Beep" bit.

Have a good day and I'm glad that someone could help you with your problem.

I don't know what the original "Problem" description was on the  @Bristol_Jonesey primary thread, but now it does not help anyone with the same problem - if they are searching for something similar.

If you changed your subject from whatever it was to what it is now, you should have left it as was but just put "Solved"  in front of the title.  I just opened this up to look due to the "Subject" line.

That is my opinion.  Without a proper subject line this could get buried . . .

whats your cpu specs?

I understand some folks are still using older hardware, as was I at one point, but sooner or later new technology will pass you up if you stand still. However, there is still plenty of good old software that was written on older machines that will run great. For best performance my suggestion is to stick to software that was published during the years when your machine was current.

Completely understood, but I just added the post for anyone that is still using win 7 so that they may have an answer as to why it may not be working correctly for them.

I have installed other software that states that it only specs Win 8+ and find that most of the time there is no problem  . . .

However, I have been seeing some of the pads go over 55% CPU on my machine.

I am not finding this usable due to high CPU loading - It could be just my machine (laptop).   But if I try to play a chord,  CPU will go to 100%.

Does sound nice when I can get it to play . . .

Also - Still on Win 7.  The specs say win 8.1 and up . . .   I guess you can't use them all . . . .

I've seen it snow well into May in NJ, PA, IA, and MO. It can snow anywhere, where it is normal to get snow, well in to May.

This is true, BUT IN THE OLD DAYS,  I do not remember it happening so often . . .   I'm  just waiting for that change when it snows all summer and is hotter than Heck in the winter . . .

Yes, that's what I meant. Not what the graphical element is called, but rather the position. I apologize for not making that clearer and I thank everyone who responded.

Ok.  I personally would expect to use "Measure" coordinates (or what is reflected on the time line - you can reference H:M:S:F (SMPTE) or samples or milliseconds).

SO I think that the deal would be what time reference you would choose between the corresponding parties (collaborators).  Most time it would be "M:B:T" (measures) and that should be good enough in most situations.   If you need finer granularity, you could use one of the others.   But I digress . . .

I would refer to the starting point as "Measure 1".   The other way would be to just say "zero" if that is the target (01:01:00).  The parties involved should agree that that is the terminology to use.  Or say you were writing something as in directions for doing some procedure, just sate at the beginning what the reference point is.

I know that this does not answer your question, but since there is not a real term (such as zero or wall), I would say Zero wins out as it is the most descriptive.  Until Cakewalk changes (or offers as an option) a way of changing the starting point (measure 0 for instance) - zero is zero no matter what time standard you are using.

That's my opinion - I hope that helps.  If we were working together, I would expect "M:B:T" (Measures:Beats:Ticks)  - That is the standard since the beginning of midi (Cakewalk).

The Track View splitter.

Or Measure 1.   I would say it depends on the perspective or the reference.   What do you want to accomplish?

If you are trying to direct someone to return the "Now" Header - I would say Measure 1  (Or RTZ [return to zero])

If you are placing your "Now Header" to measure 1 - use Ctrl-Home or "W"

If you are adjusting the "Track View" width, then you could say "Track View Splitter"

What is it that you are asking about - I find the question a bit ambiguous because I'm not understanding what you are referencing.  What I mean is are you saying where the pointer position is (as in measure 1.01.00) ?  Or are referring to the layout of the track view windows (as in track, track controls or Track Inspector).  I tried looking up your references to "The Wall" or "Zero".   And I could only find "Zero" as in "Zero" would be Measure 1.

Just curious . . .

I'm not sure what caused that so I'd recommend consulting IK Support to see if they have any better suggestions to get your favorites back.

I'll give them a try and see what they say. - thanks

 It would be great to have a local version of this that then integrates seamlessly with Cakewalk instead of the Web-based version and give it a focus on MIDI output, etc.

I think that by having it available from the Web,  it is a lot easier for them to keep the tool (sound, rhythms etc) up to date without the users having to reinstall all the time when changes are made.  This also bypasses the need to worry what operating system the user has on their computer.

Just a thought.

Me and a couple of friends went to Sweetwater a few months ago (we drove down from Michigan).  It was great!  My Sales Engineer met us and spent a couple of hours showing us around.  We got to see all the sales areas and the studios, performance theater, warehouse area.  We finished off by having lunch at the cafeteria.

It was a really nice day.  Unfortunately I did not pick up any toys while I was there (not that there wasn't  a lot of temptation).  My wife told me that if I brought anything home, I better have gotten free!   LOL

I did not try the Tonenet yet , but I did notice that once I update Amplitube 5, I lost all my "Favorites" I had set.  Fortunately, there was not a lot, but still annoying.

@Peter - IK Multimedia - is there a way to save/preserve my favorites?

Then I would waste one of my authorizations.  Gee wiz, I only have 8 left! ?

Last time I had to de-authorize/authorize, I did not lose any authorizations.  Once de-authorized, count went up, then when I re-authorized, the count went back to what it was (would be 8 in your case).

Just did it and the count went from 8 to 9, then back to 8 (after re-authorization)

I don't know how to feel about this. I own both. It's actually the first time I hear about a fire incident with both. Should i be worried? Its my 4th Audi in 7 years and probably 100th Samsung phone. 

Well, don't leave your phone in the car - either one of them catches fire, you will have an anomaly where they both go up in flames . . .

Apparently not according to some older threads on the topic. The only solution recommended was a Control surface. 

Thanks John - I had not taken the time to search because I was doing some work and the question popped into my head.   I do own a Control surface, but the project I was working on, I never use the control surface with it.  Never the less, thanks for answering my question.

I will seek out those older threads and see what they were talking about back then . . .

I want to be able to jump to a designated track number via  a command such as the "G" (for time movement - now time).

I already know that <shift>+ <home>  or <shift>+ <end> will get me to the first or last track.   Lets say that I have 80 tracks and want to jump to track 52, is there a method to do this.  I looked and did not see a "Go To Track" command (such as "G" for time).

If there is not a control like that does anyone think it would be helpful to their workflow?  I find that it is kinda curious that here might not be such a command.

Thanks,

Ah perfect, I see what you mean yep. That's more of a "cosmetic" thing on the website that we'll fix eventually after we add more functionality. Also, as mentioned in my previous comment, we'll add continual scrolling instead of multi page products to make it easier to view

Very Cool . . .   Thanks for checking out my comment

Hi there, I'm not too sure what you mean, can you provide more detail?

When you make your selection, you are presented with a page (grid style).   If there a full page, then you would scroll down to reach the bottom.   Once there you can select the next page to view.   The page now loads with your view at the bottom of the page (grid) and now you have to scroll up to the top to start your scan of offerings.

I find this counter intuitive for viewing.  

Do this:  

1 - Log into your site (should already be populated with deals)

2 - scroll down to the bottom of the page

3 - select "Next Page" or page number.

You should now be at the bottom of the new page.   I would find it more useful to have the new page load and be at the top of the page.    By placing me at the bottom, I will now have to scroll up to the top, then down to the bottom.   Since I'm going down, I will encounter the selection (which after the selection would bring me back to the top of the next page)

It that a bit clearer?   Let me know

Thanks,

Syphus

@Music Software Deals     Another thing  (LOL) - When you go to "Pages"  (forward or back), could you make it so as to start at the top of the page (i.e. beginning of new /old list).

That would make using your site so much more enjoyable to use . . .   Otherwise nice site!

First the quick answer:

The "Master" is just an output buss that is named "Master".  All you need to do is add a new buss, set the output (the drop down under IN/OUT) to the stereo output of you interface.  Then rename the buss to Master.  You will now have a master buss.

Now the better answer:

When you open up cakewalk, bring up the "Start Screen"  if it is not automatically shown and pick a new project (basic for example) .  This project will already have a "Master Buss" setup in it.   If no start screen, go to the "File" menu and select it.

If you have a  desire to make a custom startup project, set it up as you would like and save it as a "Template" and you will always have the start project  you need to do your work.
