    so, in re-reviewing this, you save the template source file (with image, copyrights, etc) as "normal" in the "project template folder". this is a .cwp file in the template folder at this point. then rename the file as .cwt. now the template file has the image in the header section of the file (which is what needs to be read from the start screen display) as well as embedded in the file notes.

    As I had said, I don't remember the exact process I used to get mine set.  But go back and read the threads that discuss this (see my response above) and they might have your answer.  I would have to do the research if I was to create another "template" for myself,    I'd do a bit more research on this now , but I'm busy with a project that I need to finish.

    I don't know the direct answer, but do a search for "Start Screen"  (with the quotes) and a bunch of stuff shows up that you will have to sort through.  But to get you started:

     

     

    I know I had the same question once and did solve my problem, but I don't recall what the answer was . . .

    "[Solved] Connection Error" when running "Check for Update"

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    With Noel's help we were able to track this down and provide a solution to get it fixed . . .  the  notes are:

    Precursor:   I had a internet error a few weeks back and I believe that is what may have cause this to occur since I never had this problem before this.  I don't know how I fixed my connection at that time.  Also I am running Win 7 (Still!), although I don't think that was the problem since this has been working all along.

    Problem:  When clicking on "Check for Updates"  I received this message:

    NC78OjP.png

    The reason was because I was missing TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP.  Per Noel, I could not run a "Secure Https" connection out of Cakewalk.

    Solution( in this case):

    Went to this page:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392#bkmk_easy

    and applied the "Easy Fix"  This made my Cakewalk able to connect and check for updates:

    So Setting to Solved and big thanks to Noel for helping me out.   Bakers are the best!

    Can you post a screenshot of the dialog you are seeing? Checking for updates doesn't require you to be logged into your bandlab account. Its completely different.
    However its worth checking if you are able to sign in to BandLab from within cakewalk and browse the BandLab library.

    The above is the error message.

    I took a project and uploaded it to my bandlab library from in Cakewalk without a problem and was able to browse the project.

    Also logged out and then logged back in from within Cakewalk to Bandlab (got the refreshed message).

    Thanks,

    Could it be that you never logged out of Bandlab Assistant?

    If Cakewalk also tries to log in to Bandlab i imagine that could happen.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the above?  I normally stay logged in to BA, but I don't have it running.  Also as part of this (process), I updated BA to the latest version and re-logged in.  The "refresh" detection seems to be functioning.

    If it was a case of Cakewalk trying to login again, would it not let me know if that was a problem.  I seem to recall at one point Cakewalk did tell me to login to BA for refresh checks  . . .   (I guess I do know what you mean).  I don't know how this process works and if that was the case (clashing login)  I would think someone would have already said something about having a problem.

    I just checked the "Help" drop down and CW does show me logged in to bandlab

    @Noel Borthwick  Sorry for the late reply . . .   Everything seems good on my end.  I'm not having any internet connectivity problems that I can detect.    Just checked and the error is still occurring.  I don't know if refreshing uses the the connection (I imagine it does), but that is functioning.

    Is there anything I can do to check the Cakewalk connectivity?

    I'm running 2021.04 build 175.

    Did a search - could not find anything.

     

    I noticed that I did not get a message telling me that there was a "Early Access" available.   So I ran the "Check for Update" in the Help drop down and I got a dialog box telling me that there was a "Connection Error"  Check back later".  I am using the latest version of cakewalk.

    Tried rebooting and that did not help.

     

    Just update the Bandlab Assistant  and tried it again - no luck.  Internet seems fine . . .    Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

    Thanks,

    [Solved] Snapshot Automation Help

    in Q&A

    Posted

    Note:  I sent a note to support about this issue and asked them to reword the entry for "Snapshot" so that it made it a bit clear that this works on an existing "Automation envelope"

    For anyone looking to this thread for an answer here it is:

    IF you what to use "Snapshot", be aware that this works on an "existing" envelope.  If you were not intending to automation on the entire track and just wanted to do say one or two measures of (for example volume), do this:

    Go to the start of the track after you have established you level for the track and do a "Snapshot" at that point.

    Set you "Now Time" to the point you want a change (for example - measure 10 [ 10:01:00 ])

    Set your volume to what you want at this point with the track fader.

    Do another "Snapshot" at this "Now Time" and all will be done.

    Remember you can "Undo" all this if it does not fit your needs or work the way you envisioned it.

     

    I am marking this as "Solved" and hopefully we will see some kind of update in the documentation.

    [Solved] Snapshot Automation Help

    19 hours ago, reginaldStjohn said:

    I think that you have figured out how it works. On your first snapshot it will set the whole automation envelope to that first value since it is the only data that the track knows about. Then you need to take snapshots or add automation nodes in other places if you want the value to be different.  As for the documentation, it seems correct but was not clear enough for what you were expecting.

    It is clear that my method is the "way" to do it.  I will search the documentation and see if there is a hint.   If I was a total newbie, I would be searching for help because the  instructions are somewhat misleading - at this point a minor irritation.

    I just wanted to see if I missed something . . .   Hopefully, this will save someone a few minutes/hours of time by posting.  Thanks for your response.

    [Solved] Snapshot Automation Help

    in Q&A

    Posted · Edited by Syphus
    Solved

    I was looking in the manual about Snapshot and how it is used.  The manual says the following:

     

    To create a snapshot of a track or bus parameter

    1.Move the parameter control to where you want it.

    2.Move the Now Time to the location where you want to create the snapshot.

    3.Right-click the control and choose Automation Snapshot in the pop-up menu. You don’t have to write-enable the track or bus module.An indicator will appear on the control to show that automation has been added, and a node will be added to the control's envelope on the track.

    4.Make sure the appropriate Automation Read button is enabled, play your project and listen to the results. You can undo the snapshot by using the Undo command, or by taking another snapshot at the same Now Time.

     

    So I go to a project,   Select an Audio track, move the volume fader to 0 then right-click on the fader an select "Automation Snapshot".  Now I have an automation envelope that is sitting at 0 at my selected "Now Time" for the entire select track (per the envelope).

    Now I RTZ and set my fader to it's correct level and hit play.  The volume goes to zero immediately and stays there.      This is what happens when I follow the directions above from the manual.

     

    In reality,  I have to set a "snapshot" at Now Time set to the start (bar 1:0:0) with my selected volume level set for the track average (lets say 0 dbs for now) , then move to my new Now Time where I want to have the volume drop to zero and snapshot it there also.  Now everything goes according to plan (sound until I hit second Now Time).

    Am I missing something or are the directions making an assumption that I was not aware of?   Should the documentation explain this better or is it not working the way it is supposed to. 

    Once I figured it out,  it seems to be the right way.   What do you think - am I doing something wrong per the instructions? Opinions please, or correct me if I'm wrong . . .

     

    Thanks for your time.

    Export to MP3 Problem

    in Q&A

    Posted

    Hello - Just a thought:

    I have exported MP3s with frozen tracks.  I think that I only select the track that has the audio on it (not the synth/midi).  Perhaps the hangup/failure is that the export is trying to refreeze the track and this causes a hangup in the process . . .   IDK  if this is true - like I said, just a thought . . .

    [Solved] Melodyne Region FX clip

    in Q&A

    Posted · Edited by Syphus

     

    I thought I was doing a "Marker" command but :

    CTRL+M = Create Melodyne Region FX clip

     

    This brought up a window - which I closed, but every time I open the project, I see it loading the Melodyne FX.  I want to remove it, but I don't know what it is attached to.

    Is there a way to clear this?

     

    Thanks,
