Fine control of track parameters possible?

[Jrides]

Is there a way to enter track volume amount, via a text box? I would think that it would be possible, to double click something and be given the option to enter a value.  The only way I can see having fine control over track volume, is using nodes / automation etc. there has to be a simpler way to do this, right?

Yes. Cakewalk enables many tasks to be accomplished by various means often depending on the view that is exposed.

In track view, select which editable parameters are exposed by using the button at the top of the tracks pane. If you select "All" (See attached pic) then you will see a horizontal slider for volume, Left click select and pressing enter will allow you to type in values.

Many pictures and written instructions to be gained from the Cakewalk Reference Guide. A recommended read.

https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf or by using Cakewalk by Bandlab drop down menu at the top of the forum page.

Hmmmm… very disappointing.

 

Is there a way to enter these values for parameters in the Pro Channel?  Again, in this case, the only way I can see to get fine control, is to use the shift + drag method.

It depends on the control. If the numeric value is displayed and editable such as volume or EQ settngs, double-click value in the ProChannel, Track Inspector or Console view channel strip to edit the value.

TOPIC: Find control of track parameters possible?

Is this topic about finding controls or fine controls?  

You should not be disappointed.

Good question. There’s no way to know. It’s just impossible to determine. 
One of life‘s great mysteries…

 

Also,  I tried for a few minutes, not to be disappointed. However, it just didn’t work.

I see. Thank you! I will poke around, when I get back to the studio on Thursday. Much appreciated.

For track parameters, if you hold the Shift key while dragging the control, it will slow the change rate for finer adjustments as well

And I'm sure that is in the documentation....

Yes. I was aware of that one, from the user manual. My concern was just the ability to enter in a specific value as text. Intuitively I would have expected anywhere that text is displayed for a value, I should be able to double click it and enter a specific value. For those like myself, who are blind/visually impaired, the advantage of this method is tremendous. Especially in cases where you can tab to a particular parameter and hit enter, giving you access to enter the value S text. Once I get a grip on how exactly this platform does and doesn’t meet my needs… Perhaps I will make some feature requests in the future.

 

thank you for your kind  attempt to help. Much appreciated!
