Hi Barry,
This isn't the same as Cat's way!
Quick tutorial then, open the file in CakeWalk and click in the data of the track that has the controllers you want to thin. It should turn black. Then get the "view" menu and select "event list" here it is for track 10:
And this is the result:
See those two little windows with numbers in them, top left? We need to get a start and end point in there. i.e where to start removing cc84s and where to stop. (in my example I'm using CC7s, volume). So click in the HMSF or MBT column where you want the edit to start and click the button to the left of the little left window. See where it says "Set From = Now"? Just above that.
Then you set the end point using a smilar process. In the next picture see where it says "Set Thru = Now"? Just above that. The result should look similar to the following picture. Note that the start and "Thru" points are shown in MBT (Measures, Beats, Ticks). In my example 2:01:000 to 2:01:058.
You will see too that the selected events have a dark highlight to the extreme left in the list itself? So, in my example we are trying to thin the CC7s where they start at value 0 and go to value 6. (to the right of the list).
Now we can run CAL. See below for how to do it.
Now we need to select the CAL program. You should have something like this in your main CWPA9 directory, let me know if not, and we need to select the "thin controllers" routine. See below:
When you do you should get the following pop up and you can select cc84:
When you "OK" this you will be able to select how much you want to thin the events out by as follows.
When you select "OK" again it should thin the data out by the amount you specify. I have done a tiny bit just as an example but you can select the events over many measures just by scrolling down and selecting an end (or thru) point much further down the listing. Experimentation is the key. After a while you will be able to judge by just how much to thin the file. It really does get easier each time, believe me.
Hope that helps?
