Reaper has this feature, why can't I find this feature in Cakewalk?
In the old days, you used to have to listen to your whole track for Melodyne to "record" your track. If Cakewalk had a "dry run" mode, I'm sure it would have been faster. I still have plugins that need to listen to the whole track to make it's math work correctly.
Where you can have your VST plugins run thru the entire song without you listening?
It would be a great thing to have so that if you need to have a plugin adjust itself for the entire song, you don't have to listen to it multiple times for the adjustment.
For example:
If I run the normalizer in analyze mode, in Cakewalk currently I have to listen to the whole song for it to adjust itself to the song:
You set the db of the track you want the volume to get set, and it will either gain + / - depending on what your track needs. It isn't A.I.
You used to have to do the same thing with Melodyne, until it added ARA feature.
In Reaper, I can run "dry run" in the Render menu, but I can't find "dry run" for Cakewalk.
Dry run let's you "render the song without outputting it to a file" this allows your plugins to work 3x faster than normal listening mode.
Other plugins I wish to run in "dry run" mode: Sonible Smart Limiter, iZotope RX modules, several different Waves Audio plugins, etc.
Mainly benefits being able to adjust your plugins faster without having to listen to the whole song over and over again. Most of these plugins have an average or meter you can use to base your judgement on without having to "listen" to make the adjustments.
