Laurence Levin Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I'm trying to work in PRV, and one of my tracks has the notes in gray, the tail ends often invisible. I include a screen shot. How can I fix this view so I can work with the PRV events more easily? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Levin Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 It often looks like this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If they are not selected notes they will be grayed out. You can still edit them though. For a test, go to track view and select the clip. The notes in Piano Roll should now be highlighted and not gray. If you scroll away from those selected notes in the clip, they will be gray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Show the Tracks pane via the View menu or dragging the splitter from the right side of the PRV and select the track you want to edit. If you drag across multiple track numbers, the first one you click will be focused and the others will show as gray. There are more options for managing multiple tracks. Definitely an area you will want to review the documentation: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=4&help=EditingMIDI.03.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Levin Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks gentlemen. So I have my view split between Track and PRV. I'm selecting the track I want to edit in PRV by double clicking on the track, and it comes up gray and clear in PRV. There is no other track assigned to this MIDI channel. Also, in event view, some of the events in this track are showing in gray font. I can still edit these events, but I'm wondering what's going on. I will review the documentation you recommended, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Levin Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) OK, when I select in PRV to hide muted clips, everything looks normal the way it should. But I don't have any muted clips to my knowledge. What's going on I wonder? Edited April 24, 2022 by Laurence Levin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I’m seeing a bunch of duplicate notes ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 That can happen when you use sound on sound or comping mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to be exact duplicates. Ah! I think it's because I have MIDI Omni, and I have two MIDI input channels selected, and perhaps one input is echoing into the other, I don't know how. When I choose just one MIDI input and play my keyboard controller, the notes show normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Levin Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Or it could be that I have comping selected in the record option. But I want to thank you people so much. At least I have a handle on what's going on!! I'm recording a great original!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Shift+T to expand lanes on the track. Definitely appears you have some earlier muted takes from recording in Comp mode. You can just delete the un-needed lanes if you're happy with the whole of the latest take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yep 2 things that keep me out of trouble with recording midi. Always select my controller as the input. And I also only use Overwrite mode. I will use Sound on sound only for adding drum parts. But even then that’s only when I’m confident I can play it through easily with out many errors. Otherwise I’ll create a fresh midi track and then drag it to merge once edited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Medina Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Double check your selection in the PRV track panel. The ghost notes belong to a different track the the active one. See the pics - 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
