[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2022.06 Early Access [Updated to Build 22]


Recommended Posts

I just updated to build 13

 

Melodyne clips are still becoming invisible in lanes (no talking parent) when muted. As I commented earlier, I reported this back in 2022.02 and was told it was fixed for next release. There is no mention of it in the list of fixes and it is not fixed. If I mute a melodyned clip in it's lane, it disappears!

It's in the queue but we haven't had a chance to get to it yet.

Thanks Jonathan.

I appreciate your time to update my info.

I hope you guys can get to it soon. It's quite disconcerting. Unless I’m mistaken, the clips are actually there tho unseen. If I click there (seeing no response) in the empty space and toggle mute, the clip re-appears.

hi, I posted on 2022.02 about slowness loading up VST plugins.

I downloaded 2022.06 early access and the issue is still there. I have reinstalled new versions where possible of all my plugins.

It is taking several minutes to load each plugin, so for the number of plugins I own it is taking almost a couple of hours. This wasn't an issue before 2022.02. 

I will leave it running overnight to see if it does actually finish the scan, and I will get another log if I can

 

Attaching log file. You can see that I have updated the plugins.  There is also more info in this log "VSTSCAN: > dispatcher" lines - I hope this helps. The scan took nearly 3hrs. thanks, Paul

I think adding an icon to the Punch Module and a keyboard shortcut to toggle "Extend Takes to Punch Out Time" will be great in the Final Release. Also "Mute Previous Takes" can be added to both in the module and keyboard shortcuts.

By this way toggling will be much easier even while in the record.

I had the opportunity to briefly test the new control surface settings with my Arturia KeyLab 61 Mk II today.

It was mostly a success using the Cubase mode in the keyboard with the Mackie MCU Cubase mode in Cakewalk Mackie Control.

These features were all plug and play, using the Mackie Control "Bus" option on the Master Fader, and "Select highlights track" option:

  • jog wheel
  • transport controls, including the loop button
  • track and master faders
  • track pan knobs
  • track select buttons
  • the solo, mute, & record buttons under track controls
  • Read automation button (but write does nothing)

Not sure what's going on with the global controls... the metronome button doesn't do anything, the undo button opens the event list. and the save button opens and closes the browser panel.

The issue is down to a missing string definition in the English resource file.  The feature was working at the time it was implemented and tested, but it looks like a subsequent code merge went wrong at some point (merging resource files can be occasionally problematic).

This has now been fixed, and will be available in the main public release.

In the meantime, the entry is available in all other languages, so as a workaround you can switch to another language and make your binding there, e.g. for French:

I'm unable to create a Melodyne Region FX using the Clip Menu drop down. See GIF. I've verified no region FX clip created. I rolled back to 2022.02 and restarted my PC and the problem persisted.  So apparently my problem is not related to the update (and likely pilot error), but I also know that Melodyne Region FX were working on Wednesday PM.

While Cakewalk isn't running, rename  ctrlsurface.dat  within %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core  to ctrlsurface.dat.bak

Then start Cakewalk.

Cakewalk will now have no control surfaces defined, so you can add the Mackie Control one for your Pro 61.  Once you've switched it over to Cubase mode within the Mackie Control surface dialog, remember to save it as a preset.

To switch back, quit cakewalk, delete ctrlsurface.dat  and rename ctrlsurface.dat.bak back to ctrlsurface.dat  - when you restart Cakewalk, it will be using AZ Controller again with your original settings.

Sounds like a candidate for a command to switch control surface bindings. :)

Renaming "ctrlsurface.dat" saved my bacon today! After an initial attempt at adding a new Mackie control surface definition, I was unable to restart Cakewalk until I reset the control surfaces with this method. Cakewalk crashed every time I started it after making the change.

It apparently had some conflicts with some earlier settings or something. All good now!

Two separate occurrences first with the first build and now again with 13.

 

I have a project I use for mastering. Setup with all the mastering tools I might want, but all are disabled except 2.

 

Twice during this EA, after opening this "empty" project, I import the file to be mastered only to be rewarded with Cake disappearing from screen. No warnings, no dump created.

Unable to enter "+" character for markers when using non-US keyboard

This reminds me of a similar bug in the Event Inspector Module! It does not work there either (and it is essential to be able to change values of multiple clips).

But for me it is not that much a big deal, because meanwhile I've got used to press the U.S. key combination for CbB on my Swedish keyboards (does not match the lettering though). ?

Agreed.  I'm in the UK and whenever I want to add, say ten, to the velocity of a number of MIDI events in the Event Inspector I have to remember not to use the number pad.  It's been an irritation for years!

Hi, that's nice to have an Early Access for CbB! Thanks to the bakers!

Also I'd like to ask how to CTRL + drag copy nodes on Tempo Track, because I saw there is a fix for an issue on Tempo Map but I couldn't reproduce it (actually CTRL + drag copy doesn't seem to work on Tempo Track, or maybe I'm missing something?).

EDIT: Ops, my bad! Maybe it's referring to Arranger Section? 
Thanks!

This is fixed as well.

Now + works in in the Event Inspector, at least on my Finnish keyboard.

I'm not sure which button the Keylab is sending for the metronome - there's certainly no button labelled metronome on the Cubase MCU overlay.

As far as the other functions, it sounds like these may be firing off the function keys. These were purposely left unmapped as they are user definable in the Mackie Control dialog. You should be able to remap them yourself by selecting the equivalent command or key press.

Thanks for the tip! This was just a simple "out-of-the box" user report. I was using KeyLab's built-in Cubase DAW mode preset, which cannot be edited.

I also tried the KeyLab's built-in "Standard MCU" DAW mode preset, but that didn't seem to work quite as well as the Cubase DAW mode with the Cubase overlay in Mackie Control.

Custom mapping might be possible from the KeyLab using with the "User" memory mode. But since things are mostly usable without any customization, I consider this a big "win"! :)

Note: I used MIDI-OX to capture the KeyLab's MIDI messages sent using the buttons, faders, and knobs. All control surface related messages are sent via the device MIDIIN2 (KeyLab Mk II). The primary MIDI in port is reserved for the keyboard keys.

  • Buttons send a MIDI note on, followed by a note off message.
  • Faders send a MIDI note on, followed by pitch bend, followed by a note off.
  • Knobs send a MIDI CC#.

The metronome button sends this message (multiple presses shown):
