I mean sidechain with tracks serves a different purpose. It's double the work for you and an unnecessary feature. Only do this for Aux tracks. They're more flexible than Buses. ☺ Sidechains and auxes are just different sides of the same problem. Internally they are buses. In Cakewalk when you send to a sidechain its sending to a hidden sidechain bus, Thats how multiple tracks can send to the same sidechain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please list the specific steps you are doing and if you can reproduce this in any project. Also please attach the dump file for the crash to help us investigate the cause. Not seeing any problems here bouncing to clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcL Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Export dialog/bounce to track(s): It would be nice if the dialog height would be configurable as it is a bit too large on laptops with 768 height only (1 line)! In the "bounce to track(s)" dialog the channel format "Follow Source" is missing and this can conflict using a preset with it (here it has chosen stereo for a mono track instead) AudioSnap/Quantization: Changing the threshold and the resolution (e.g. to 1/16) the detection results are noticeable improved! ? One thing I am more concerned about is that the rendering with the Radius-algorithms still show major transient displacements (note/hit starts moved more than 10ms). Also, in the past it happened sometimes that a transient part was repeated within 1ms or was removed! Using the Elastique-Pro-algorithm I get absolutely acceptable displacements for the note/hit start and end (within 1ms). But zooming in to about -18dB I still determine major degradation within the notes that is also audible. Partly it is even difficult to find similarites of the wave form.

Kurre Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 @Milton Sica I just wanted to point out that you don't have the checkboxes in the task queue activated. In any of your images. msmcleod has them checked. Probably have something to do with your different experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseC Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 About Bounce to Tracks dialog: would it be possible to make the chosen track to persist until changed? I often sample soft synth loops when browsing presets, make them groove clips and drag them to the browser. I use to set a track in the project for that purpose, and it is unconvenient that by default the Bounce to Tracks dialog suggests a new track.

Any tips for the tasks to be executed considering the new sizes/times of the inserted track? Entire project refers to the selection time range in the project. However if you add new tracks to the project later they won't be included in that task. IOW tasks are very specific to the project state at the time the tasks were created. If you change the project later you have to make a new task or update it. Tasks are not intended to be valid for the lifetime of a project if you make changes to it. It's cheap to make new tasks so just delete the old ones and create new tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Borthwick Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just now, JoseC said: I meant the destination track. The dest track is based on the current track. If your set that before opening the dialog then it should default to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your set that before opening the dialog then it should default to it. I cannot seem to be able to get that behavior here. If I: 1. Select a midi clip in an Instrument Track. 2. Open the Bounce to Track Dialog In the Destination Track field I always get <#> New Track, no matter what track is current. I would like to be able to select a destination track within the dialog and make it persist every time I open it until I wish to change the destination track.

Noel Borthwick Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, Milton Sica said: Many thanks for the reply. So, if I understand, choosing ENTIRE PROJECT when saving a task records the constant selection times of the project, it does not re-evaluate it when executing the task. Example: I have a 4 minute project and I generate a task with ENTIRE PROJECT. If this project extends to 6 minutes or reduces it to 3 minutes if the task is executed, it will be under the parameterization of time when it was generated, that is: 4 minutes. And so ? Actully if you selected entire project for the task it should adapt to the duration changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested the dialog(s) size change and it runs with success! Follow Source: You are absolutely right, this configuration value is also not present in Sonar Platinum!

Elastique is more advanced than Radius and is still maintained by zPlane. Thanks for the information! Though it is a pity that Radius is no longer maintained, because it sounds so much better than Elastique Pro! Yes, rendering with Elastique Pro gives definitely better results in respect of shifting! The shift of note starts and ends is within 1ms, what is absolutely okay. But regrettably the Elastique algorithm is not so accurately reflecting the original wave form as the Radius ones. But I guess today most other DAWs also use Elastique Pro primarily? (I know that Reaper and Samplitude do!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
