I have a pitch wheel on my MIDI keyboard controller. I have a section in my song where I decided it would sound good to bend one note to the next. (I'm using a guitar emulator) So I recorded the bend on my keyboard but it didn't sound quite right. I examined the events behind the notes and I see the Wheel events. I realize now that Cakewalk applies the Wheel bend to all of the notes on the track. That complicates things because the bend is close to the next note which is not bent and the Wheel events overlap a little.
I'm looking for any tips/tricks on using the pitch wheel. I was considering moving the bending notes to a separate track. I suppose the Wheel events will not affect notes on other tracks, but I haven't tested that assumption. I would like to be able to move the bending note in time, but Copy or Nudge don't seem to move the events with the notes. Is that correct? Is there an alternate way to bend notes like using a curve in Automation? What can I do to make this easier?
