I have some DVD's of a Cakewalk session(.cwb files)

Can I import them into Nuendo?
If so, how?
 
I guess the cwb files are for cakewalk only...The DVD's have wav files also

There are wav and cwb files for each song. The songs were saved as individual tacks.

If all the tracks start at zero. Just drag and drop all the wav files at the same time into nuendo.
 
The wav files are the complete song........arrrghhhhhhh I guess the worst
thing is I don't have Cakewalk anymore.

I clicked and dragged the cwb files into one Nuendo tack. The tracks are
all mashed together, i.e.; hat,vox,bass,etc 3 cwb files and 1 wav file for
this song
They contain all instruments etc.

So I cut the tracks where each tack ended and drag it to a new track. I
have 3 DVD's with 4 songs total

I ended up with 16 total tracks. Which are not all lined up. Also, when I
play them back the tempo is way fast?Can the temp be edited or what's the
problem?
 
The tempo will only be fast if you have the sample rate in the Nuendo project set higher than they were recorded in cakewalk.


Wait...are you talking about audio files or midi files?
 
Your best bet would be to reinstall cakewalk and export the audio from there. You can use the source wave files and make a new mix / project in Nuendo, but like you said, it will be a mess because of possition mismatches (amongst other things).
 
I thought that may be what I have to do(reinstall cakewalk)

Now I have no earthly idea where the cakewalk software is...It's been a couple years since I used it....


I will change the sample rate and see what happens


Wish me luck :confused:
 
So I opened a new Nuendo project and then clicked and dragged the file onto a track. What I got was one track with all the instruments,vocals,etc one after the other. Not what I wanted but it's there :rolleyes:

Then I changed the sample as farview suggested. This fixed the tempo issue.

Finally I cut the one track into individual tracks for each seperate inst, etc as it was recorded.

Now I have my work cut out for me as far as aligning all these tracks. Boy what a mess :(

anyone know a better way?
 
did cakewalk use broadcast waves? If it did, you could send the waves to origin and they will line up.


If all the cakewalk tracks were separate wave files, you could just import them onto different tracks, a lot of them might line up.

I don't understand that
 
When you recorded into cakewalk, it should have made separate wav files for each track. Import them separately onto different tracks, that way, things that were recorded together will line up with each other.


If cakewalk used broadcast wavs, you could just send them to origin and everything will line up. Select a clip, right click-> move to->origin
 
I didn't say that I didn't know what a wave file was...to the guy that give me the neg rep...Thanks....for the RED its prettier than GREEN

I guess not everyone was born with a mic stuck up there ass :eek:


This reply is aimed at that mysterious guy whoever he may be...
 
gotcha for the anon prickhead..

anyways, yes that is a pain in the ass, lining up tracks- a job i typically abandon..

man, dig up the cakewalk! its somewhere!
