Special Paste

[Michael Blum]

1) When I copy and paste, the paste does not line up with current measures. If you listen to this small audio clip at about 13-14 seconds you can hear the misalignment. When I used Sonar, or cakewalk in the paste, the paste always started at the beginning of the measure. Can't seem to do this. The measures before secopnd 13-14 where aligned by hand. Is there a way to have the pastes align to the beginning of a measure without physically moving clips around.

2) Where do I save my audio loops and other midi files I want to use. Is ther a set directory that makes it easy for Cakewalk to find.?

make sure you have snap to grid on - this will help to make sure your position is aligned on the setting - e.g. 1 bar (whole), 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc. in paste special, you can set the position directly.

paste special:

i have a content drive which has all the audio and midi files for all my instruments, plugins, and misc files. and in my preferences, i have that set to the cakewalk audio library as a starting point.

Thank you so much for your help.

Just to clarify, you copy all midi and audio loops to audio library folder. Then use Cakewalk to access that folder?

Your last name there reminds me of a time when my doctor gave me some 'special paste', not a very pleasant time as I recall. Anyway, that's a whole 'nother story.

Ooooh 😲

Blum is a common name. Was the paste socket paste by any chance?
