Refresh rate setting for bus waveform preview.

Is there a setting somewhere to increase the refresh rate of the bus waveform preview
 
thanks in advance :)

I have empirical evidence this is true... (Bender told me!)

    I believe it is controlled by the WavePreviewSampleFrequency setting in Cakewalk.ini
    http://www.cakewalk.com/D...p;Req=INI_Files.4.html
    Use Preferences > File > Initialization File to change Cakewalk.ini. "Initialization File" is an advanced setting, make sure "Advanced" is selected at the bottom of the Preferences dialog to see the selection.

    I believe the WavePreviewSampleFrequency variable defaults to the best rate. By default it samples once every 40ms. Raising the value will skip samples.

    Hi scook
    Yes I just read that so sonars default setting is set to max refresh rate. 
    That's a shame. I've set a short loop with one bass note and on each pass the waveform shape varies considerably.
     
    The reason I'm doing this is to explain side-chain techniques (kick reducing a bass note) to some students and wanted to give then a visual representation.

    So any other ideas on how I could make the "wave preview" more stable?

    What about creating a groove clip from the audio and roll it out, bounce the tracks to illustrate before and after side-chain. BTW, there is a Cake TV video on side-chaining which does a good demonstration although it does not have a graphic illustration of the effect.

    Again Yes!
    • "SONAR Go Deeper - ProChannel Sidechaining" 
    also used
    • Sonar X1 - Sidechaining in Sonar X1a
    • Sonar X2 - ProChannel - Sidechaining - 4 different uses
    But still... It would be nice if the "wavepreview" was a tad more responsive
    (If only I could fit a turbo charger on it... lol) 
     
    Thanks for your input :)
