CAL and Audio Data

CAL as a language was only for scripting within Cakewalk software. There is no New reference as Cakewalk has not actively developing CAL any longer and hasn't for many years.

Here's a link to all the CAL data I have online. There may be something in there that can help you.

No audio processing in CAL that I am aware of but you can use a keyboard shortcut to call Process > Apply Effect > Gain. To create a shortcut search for gain in the Global Bindings area of Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts.

HI:)
 
@mudgel
 
I already have downloaded your CAL Files, thanks, very great:)But found nothing for Audio....but very usefull little programs for Midi!!! Thanks again!

I found a lot of Help and Reference Guides for CAL, but nothing about Audio, perhaps I have to contact this guy, who talked about it, will be difficult to find this post again...

For sure I have STRG-G Shortcut for Gain! I often do some Voice Edits, "s", "t", "k" and other Gain Edits by hand, and you always have to hit STRG-G, then you have to choose how much db, then hit "Return". It would be very nice, to have schortcuts for:
-1dB,-2dB, -3dB, +1dB, +2dB,+3dB.
I've had a little external Programm to create Shortcuts, but this program doesn't work anymore since Win 7:(
 
Basie.

It would be interesting if someone from Cakewalk would give us a definitive list of which CAL hooks remain in Sonar and respond to calls from CAL scripts

Hey Scook - That's pretty cool. I believe there have been some other users who use(d) either AutoHotkey or other generic macro/automation apps within SONAR. This looks good though and for those looking to automate routine functions that might be a stretch for CAL, the investment in time might be better spent learning/using this utility than CAL. If I am not mistaken, someone from Cake actually recommended something like this (Maybe this specific utility - I don't recall) -  a few years ago -
Cheers Scook - you are a wealth of knowledge and information.

I agree it looks great - and there are user utilities including a GUI generator, & script recorder. Nice bonus might be the extension of macro capability to other applications outside of SONAR. Pretty cool. Thanks for discovering it Scook - great find.

I'm going to give your hot key trick a try as the lack of these (wave editing) sort of tools disappoints me with Sonar. 
 
In my wave editor and it's sister DAW you open the Gain dialog which is a simple little box. Then you set the amount up or down, this gain adjustment remains until you close the dialog box. You zoom in and highlight and apply. So quick and easy to run trough a wave file and knock the peaks off. All with a few mouse drags and clicks. It will also tell you what the Max level of the highlighted clip is.
It seems like it would not be hard to program this in. 
This is my one and only feature request. 

I remember using AutoHotkey but after moving from Win XP I just didn't reinstall it and like so many utilities just didn't keep up with it. Just checked and I have a version in my archives from Feb 2004 v 1.0.01.
Must download the latest and check it out.
