cwiggins999 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I use the Media browser to play some mixed instrumental wave/mp3 files, and play/sing through the tracks in Cakewalk - so effectively have a Cakewalk project that is just used for mixing/effects rather than recording. It works as far as it goes, but I'd like more control over the audio file playback - a playback head to seek within the file, no automatic repeating, etc. Is there some capability for this already in Cakewalk, or a VST plugin available that would give me this functionality? I've seen the Cakewalk "Playlist", but that seems geared toward playing project files and not in conjunction with the DAW console/mixer features. I'd be after essentially something with the playback/seek features of the Windows Media player with a file list and the ability to only play one file at a time in a playlist, without auto-advancing to the next song. I would be using this for streaming my piano/vocal sessions on Twitch, where some songs have an accompaniment wave/mp3 file.

Lynn Wilson Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Audacity, a free, stereo wave-file editor, may be what you're looking for. Check it out here: https://www.audacityteam.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwiggins999 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'm hoping for something I can run inside Cakewalk - either as a VST or perhaps there are capabilities in the media browser I don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterX Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Mirax Labs vstPlayer may be worth checking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Audacity can be launched from the Cakewalk Utility menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VSTPlayer looks like the way to go. I want something that can be routed to Cakewalk busses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
