I had a QX7 box no screen. Very much working in the dark - then an Amiga. Then an 8088. We have gone a very long way. Regarding inserting CC into the event list. This is really very easy. Just view the event list Go to the location Hit the insert key Change what was inserted to the type, location, and value you need. Pedal (sustain) is CC 64, 0 is pedal off, 127 is pedal on.

I love cakewalk & have been using it for 30 years or so. I would however like it if a more robust arpeggiator was included. One trick I started using recently is to make a subfolder with multiple tracks sent to various cakewalk arpeggiator settings. I can make changes to the arp's just by dragging the "chord controller" clips around. Yes this can be automated but I like to see where things are happening just by glancing at the tracks. This makes it easy to drag parts around & it all collapses to a folder. Still more options would be nice.

" The way you use your mouse on the timeline to expand or shrink the view is extremely clunky" Try Ctrl (left/Right) Arrow instead. Very smooth - very fast.

I tend to use external devices so the sounds are good. One of the things I used to do with BIAB was to take the midi and attach it to other external sounds. There are other midi creation tools like InstaComposer that can create seeds to works with too. Just set up the parts you like with the arranger and string them together anyway you like. You will have something to play along with and with Bandlab you have great midi editing tools to work with what you've done.

I dumped BIAB about 15 years ago. Don't know if it got any better but I ended preferring to bake my own songs.

I'd like to see a section for user shared techniques. As in: This is the way I do this ...... Allowing users to share their knowledge of a specific topic. All under one main topic heading, with a thread for each new topic as a kind of user supplied tutorial. The idea being to group these together rather than spread throughout the Forum.

Another word of the day - This time it's the originally intended name for Pet Smart Paucity

The dictionary word of the day is benign. I'd rather be a ten but close enough I guess.

I am finding that while the Task does remember the location, the file it creates does not then create the full MP3. It creates a file I think that is 2 KB and makes a file that plays nothing. I am back to not using the task & reselecting the folder every time. Seems like it would be a handy function if it worked for me. I don't know if anybody else is having the same issue.

"I like that one. Good for projects that stretch out over a long period of time." Like 30 years ?

What about one additional line for date recorded in the properties box:

Would like to see a way to change the default clip name to be the date or at least include the date. If I am wrong and this already exist then somebody please let me know - Thanks.

I've got a song I've been working on called Amnesia. I was going to make a few changes - just can't remember if I did them or not.

Guitar players are actually great at complicated math because they have calasis at their fingertips.

In response to this one the wife says she heard that one of them is a real heal. Yes she jumped in with both feat..

No - that is exactly a pun - funny.

We put our microwave on the counter but the feet are slippery & the door is kind of tight so when I pull the door it slides forward. It has almost fallen to the floor a few times. It's an off the shelf design.

The dog is getting a older now he doesn't go Ruff Ruff anymore it's more like Aarp Aarp..

I brought home a brown eyed Susan from the store recently but there was an imposter included. It had a tell tail flower on it. Turns out it was a plant.

My wife uses voice recognition to do her texting - yup she is the real dictator of the family.

A (very) old one but good one.... What do you call a fortune telling midget who has escaped from prison: A small medium at large.

Having some problems with my memory & couldn't remember where I put my car keys. I was really upset but my wife says don't worry you'll forget all about it soon.

"What happens if you set the export folder in preferences | File | Folder locations (bottom of list)" Don't know, but that would not help because that still won't save for individual songs.

While not a major deal it would be handy if the export folder was remembered along with the other information saved with each song.
