Sonarman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Not sure how many are aware of the capture recording feature available in some daws like logic pro. I made this request long back in the old forum.To me this is a feature that CbB must have. Use of this feature is enormous. This helps not only when you forgot to click the record button but also in enormous ways. Lot of times the best takes happens when you are simply trying out something with no conscience to record. This feature helps to capture those takes. Sometimes such precious takes are not recreateable. Magic happens spark happens and they deserve to be captured. Please implement this feature. Just in case if someone has no idea what this feature is, here is a video demonstrating this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOB4dFpipOU 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I watched the video. While watching the video a number of questions came to my mind. I hope you'll share your thoughts with me and clarify your suggestion. It appears Logic Pro is capturing midi in the video, please correct me if I'm incorrect. Does the feature capture audio when the input is audio? Is the DAW going to record in the background every time the play button is hit and the feature is enabled? Do you want the feature to be enabled and disabled with a transport button? Aren't you afraid the feature will mess with storage access by recording while the user is in the process of setting up a sampler or another feature that requires storage access? What's to remind you when the feature is enabled or disabled? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonarman Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) @Jim Fogle this feature only applies to midi. This feature is always on in logic by default. I don't think you can disable it. You can hide the capture record magic button though. But I am no expert in logic so I can't confirm it. Midi data is microscopic in size and the captured data is only stored temporarily. Although this feature doesn't work for audio there seems to be a trick to capture audio. I am not sure if such a trick can be implemented in CbB. Someone please enlighten us. Here is an article that explains capturing audio http://logicprogem.com/Logic-Pro-X-Tutorials/Entries/2014/6/13_Capture_Recording__Logic_Pro_is_Always_Listening.html Edited March 16, 2020 by Sonarman Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I dunno..if I can play it once I can play it again ...it's not some one off performance I'll never be able to duplicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mostly learned to just go ahead and hit 'R' when there's a chance some magic might happen, but I still miss things occasionally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mostly learned to just go ahead and hit 'R' when there's a chance some magic might happen, but I still miss things occasionally. Yea, there have been times I hit a few wrong notes or in the verge of messing up the timing but it ends up sounding soo good. I try to recreate them and eventually get closer to that but its never the same. Also this feature can be really helpful while working with a producer. If you forgot to hit the record button on some good takes the next few minutes will be really awkward. They might be even fantasizing on choking you ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Does not CbB already support this for MIDI (Preferences\MIDI - Playback and Recording) - Allow MIDI Recording without an Armed Track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to press record though right ? I think they mean without even hitting record, like just auditioning/practising a new part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonarman Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yes, that's just a different feature @Kevin Please watch the video link in the opening post to know more of the capture record feature. This link will also help http://logicprogem.com/Logic-Pro-X-Tutorials/Entries/2014/6/13_Capture_Recording__Logic_Pro_is_Always_Listening.html and I agree with one thing mentioned in this article. You don’t have to use the Capture Recording Button only as a safety net. I use it almost exclusively for any MIDI recording. You just play along with your song as it develops and every time you perform a good pass, you hit the Capture Recording Button and your performance is right there as a new MIDI Region.

Jonathon Barton Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) the answer is YES ,to the original post ,it's GREAT, ,,I no cos it turned up in Ableton about 6 months ago ,as long as you are monitoring & armed it CAPTURES , I done more piano takes than ever. I thought they would turn out to be to scrappy ,but no, just as mentioned above , always drifting off on start-up and CAPTURE seriously makes me giggle every time. With that in mind might someone now understand my RE-SPLICE COMPTED TAKES so if you turn on and jam to a short loopy or drum track, ,,if captured then you need to re splice it,, its a bit different in Ableton tho not so rok-en-roll ,,Jon plus I have already been wondering if Able. could add AUDIO capture,, I think it'll happen May be have to deel with the possible large file immediately or somethinkkkk anyway it works I guess for certain approaches,, I was thinking of a topic about that WHEN YOU START WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO RECORDING (rock -roll) of coarse I sure we could all learn some supprising track-construction routs off each other,,,Jon, Edited March 24, 2020 by Jonathon Barton add some info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Agreed, this is a brilliant feature in Live and Logic that would be great to have in Cakewalk as well! Check out how it works in Live (I've linked to about 1:23 where the interesting bits start): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It's a no for me. I think it would be hard to get everyone to come to a consensus agreement about how the feature should work, what the feature is and why it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deric Love Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Can anyone explain why cakewalk is still free. I was just exploring other DAWS, and only a few has the full function as cakewalk. What Pro-tool, fruity loop etc. offers for free is not enough for me to settle with them at this stage of the game for me. I need a full loaded DAW as cakewalk to do a hold song/album. If I was to invest in another DAW, and expect the same amount of functionality as Cakewalk, I would have to spend at least $600 dollar. The only thing that I would improve, which is minute, is the sound quality via the pro-channel, for its module. I only use third party plugins, anyway. I just need a DAW to edit, mix, master etc., which cakewalk does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @Deric Love, Perhaps you can receive more responses if you ask your question in a new thread; it's a little off topic for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonarman Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Got to know that now Cubase has got this feature as well. Its named Retrospective Record. I hope to see this soon in CbB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonarman Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Ohh please Bakers! Now almost every major DAW's has this feature!! when could we see this in CbB Edited December 3, 2020 by Sonarman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
