Hi!
There used to be a feature where you could go into the video properties and adjust the start time of the video. That feature still appears but is now grayed out. A lot of videos I get to work on have no bars and tones and not all virtual instruments work well if there is a note on the first beat of measure one so I used to move the video to measure two (then clip that off the audio before sending back to the director. Is it possible to reactivate this?

You can see it in the track view or of you right click the video.

Thank you - it is fantastic to benefit from all the work you guys are doing!
Scott

Something for the "Suggestion Box"

What I'd like to see added to CbB is a way to save automation settings the same as you would EQ settings in the Pro Channel or any other plug in that allows settings to be named and saved.

If this is possible it would be a nice addition.

Thanks

My mistake. I use a negative offset for ASIO. Apparently WASAPI does not allow negative offsets.

try a negative offset value

I did, but it wouldn't go below 0

while using the WASAPI drivers, I've been getting unaligned recordings in Cakewalk/Bandlab. While monitering, I have no delay, but on playback I find I need to nudge all the files [left 3] to align them correctly.

Try setting a manual offset in the Record Latency Adjustment section of preferences.

I tried, but you can only increase the value of the manual offset (right?), not decrease it, which results in the .wav being even more to the right than before. Or am I missing something?

Could the problem be that the AT2020 USB has a default sample rate of 44Hz, not 48Hz?

Ironically, the Magix Low Latency ASIO driver is a rebreand of ASIO4All...

ASIO drivers are hardware specific. ASIO4ALL is simply a wrapper for the stock WDM drivers from Windows. You'll see the best performance using an audio interface with its own dedicated ASIO drivers.

The reason I mention this is because, while using the WASAPI drivers, I've been getting unaligned recordings in Cakewalk/Bandlab. While monitering, I have no delay, but on playback I find I need to nudge all the files [left 3] to align them correctly. I don't get this when using ASIO drivers. The only solution I've found is to use Magix Low Latency ASIO drivers (also a wrapper, I think) with an AT2020 USB+ microphone, which I've found to be more stable than ASIO4ALL.
When working with USB keyboard inputs, I don't get this problem with the WASAPI drivers; only with the AT2020 mic.
Since Magix had their own drivers, I thought maybe Cakewalk/Bandlab might.

I was wondering if Cakewalk/Bandlab are going to develop their own ASIO drivers in the future.
I've had hit and miss experiences with ASIO4ALL and various others. I'd love to see A Sonar version which works seamlessly, so that we can leave behind the WASAPI drivers.

New request for an old feature: Bring back the good old Clip's gain envelope. The 'take lane' gain envelop is finicky and I've never have the need to have gain envelope for the entire lane.

What, are clip gain envelopes not available in CbB? (I'm still on the last SPlat...)

Clip Gain env works the same way in CbB as in SPlat. I like the way it was before the Take Lanes concept where each clip is its own object. You can move it around and the envelops stayed with the clip.
There are so many issues with Take Lanes, for example:
You cannot edit an envelop after you move it to another lane or location. The 'dot' you draw on the env also somehow got drawn (randomly) at some other envelop if you select a timeframe, when create a gain env, it creates gain env for all the clips in that lane, etc.

if you can't kill the sonar process, it's usually because it can't (for whatever reason) release the audio driver... if the interface is external, just power-cycle it, causing windows and then sonar to drop the driver... if it's an internal card you can disable/re-enable it in control panel for the same result... this workaround has been around for yonks... having said that, sonar/cwb does seem to have more trouble in this area than other hosts (imo/ymmv, prolly depends on the particular driver) good luck!

Thanks for the input, there was a time when Cakewalk and Sonar were really worth working in, the user base and forums were incredibly helpful with tons of very quality members, as I see tyhe current model, it is driven to promote "other" things, Bandlab and whatever else they are selling...

I just dished out $199 of AATranslaor so I can export all my projects in OMF and RPP formats so I can change DAW software...its a shame because I have spent thousands of dollars on Cakewalk over the years, constantly upgrading from since it came out on floppys, Dimension Pro/etc...

I have owned several studios over the years and currently do sound design for theater, Sonar is no longer dependable nor user friendly...I just spent an hour opening up 1 project so I could export it...I had to restart explorer/ shut down Cakewalk.exe/Sonar/Bandlab at least 6 times before I could even open a file...

I have a pile of useless Sonar discs now.

You either get wisdom or money.

Wisdom see's the writing on the wall here.

Yeah man agree with you, the should be on right and it should have Gain with Tab 1. Old gain tab 2. Should just gain with a slider and the db section where u will double click and enter the desired +/- gain eg i want 2db or -3db ect or just push a slider up/down or left/or right

Third I know its a memory leak because I have loaded it in debug mode into VS...besides the fact that whe I end "Cakewalk.exe" in taskmanager
IT DOES NOT END AND CONTINUES REGARDLESS OF RELOADING EXPLORER/ETC...

Maybe start Cakewalk.exe with Visual Studio debugger (or WinDbg) and when it hangs, check where its threads are at? You can also use Process Explorer from Sysinternals (a Micro$oft site) to see the thread stacks when the process gets stuck.

You should be able to see in which modules the threads are doing something, and even without actual debug info (PDB files) you can see some sort of a call stack, at least the DLLs the code execution takes place. Might be related to opening devices etc., since no plugins are loaded during startup. I think you can even take a debug dump of the hang-up situation and send it to Bakers...

A memory leak usually refers to a process which allocates memory or other resources but fails to free them, thus swelling up over time. Here, I think, the process remains stuck on something after having ditched the UI, but doesn't keep on eating up more memory. Well, it is sort of a memory leak in the sense that the hanging process takes up system resources that are no longer of any actual use for other processes.

The BandLab assistant crashed yesterday while updating in the background. He did not want to work anymore. After that I installed it manually. Now he works again as version 4.0.0

We are surfing on a tsunami called Internet, on a thin board that can break anytime - a little more positive thinking, please!

Well...if you had read any of my previous posts you would see I am no novice to Cakewalks dive into destruction...

$60.00 Reaper.
In one week I am up and running with all my paid for Cakewalk plug-ins and synths...midi works everything works has not crashed even once, opens every-time I click on it.
I'm done here...Bandlab is a wonderful toy, but it will NEVER find use in a serious studio environment if it acts the way it did with me.
Peace out enjoy the ride.

I have a request. For large projects, the save feature takes an incredible amount of time.

Anyway to implement background saving? Or at least a way to save that doesn't result in 10 seconds of waiting for the progress bar to complete?

Feature request= Plugin menu sub folder/categories.

for instance, inside your synth folder you could make your own folders for your analog, wavetable, FM, subtractive synths, etc.
Or similarly for EQ types, and the like.

Go to Plugin manager and setup your folders for plugins and softsynths however you like, including folders within folders.

Cakewalk is one of the few daws that let you customize your plugins folder however you like. And the feature has been there for a while, at least since 2011.

Bandlab Assistant has 3 processes because of the framework it is built in: each tab is a separate process (cf. Chrome).

seems a bit overkill for such a small utility app

Lazy coding...rush to market, don't really dev anything just cobble together some crap in Visual Basic and slap it on a web page.

Hard to take this program serious anymore.
