Is there a reason for deleting your account? 

Yes to both! THX Craig, cann't wait to read the next chapters of these books.

THX guys, it seems to be my mouse. Tried a different model and this one was working flawless. There arent dedicated drivers for my mouse (Microsoft Wireless 5000), just HID conform mousedrivers. Everything else ist workig fine, so i'll turn knobs on CW with mousedragging and leave it as it is. Thank you all for your help.

I think MSW2 is a nice tool too.

I changed these settings, but it did nothing for me. And the problem happens only on the Cakewalk faders, sends and knobs. Plugins, even the Cakewalk ones like TL64 or Sonitus are working fine.

Hi guys,

i bought a new PC and installed Win 11 as my OS. Now everything is working fine, but on Cakewalk i found out, that my mousewheel isn't working correctly. Normally i could do very fine wheel adjustments on buttons and faders, but not anymore. Now i have to turn it fast to react and it isn't doing fine movements, more like jumping around. I loaded some plugins to check, if it is the same behaviour there, but it's not. Tried Cakewalk 09.2022 and Sonar Platinum, both are acting the same way. On Windows its scrolling fine. For your info, i didn't change my mouse, its still the Microsoft Wireless 5000. What could be the cause for this?

BandLab did not purchase the Cakewalk company.

BandLab has no say on what can be done with old Cakewalk products, that would be up to Gibson, they still own the Cakewalk company.

Wait, how is it handled? If the original Cakewalk team is working for BandLab under the Cakewalk brand, how aren't they owning them? Maybe they own Cakewalk but not Sonar. Are you sure about this? 

VX64 is still awesome. Deesser is meh on it, but the Compander is really good. I also dial a little bit of saturation on my mid EQ band witch gives it more grittyness and the Doubler/Delay is nice. Delay is on almost every project from me.

You guys know, that new Cakewalk users have to enable it on hidden plugins in the manager? Cannot recommend it enough. PX64 too btw.!

THX, do you have some mainboard recommendations for a tighter budget? About 200-300 Dollar?

FWIW, The 12700k runs fine with quality air-cooling.

Cool and quiet...

 

Hey Jim i've got a question: What mainboard chipset do you recommend for a intel K CPU (i'm considering to buy 12600K) Z690, H670 or B660? I'm asking cause many are saying that you don't need a K CPU without Z690, but i want just the better performance compared to non K, without manual overclocking. Or are they running like a non K without the Z690 chipset?

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, folks. Much appreciated.

However, I got a weird solution that seems to have fixed the issue...

I contacted IK Multimedia support last night, and they got back to me today via email. They asked for a screenshot of the library paths in ST4. So I opened SampleTank 4 in standalone mode, clicked the gear icon and checked what path(s) SampleTank was showing for my sounds and libraries.

All my SampleTank libs are on a large 2GB WD Black drive, and I noticed that same path was listed twice. No idea how that happened, but when I deleted the duplicate path and then checked SampleTank in my DAWs, the problem went away. I can now close the GUI in Cubase (11 and 12), Cakewalk and Reaper, without the program crashing. I can delete SampleTank from a project, add it back, mess around with it, etc, and all seems fine.

So, problem solved...maybe? I think it's kind of weird that a duplicate library path would crash the program and/or my DAW...

Saw this to late, but this was my initial thought when i read your post. Had the same issue and was searching for solutions, after i discovered the copy path, i tried to delete one of these and no problems since then. 

With the coding i meant the programmcode, not sound quality. Square1 is running stable on my PC despite 32 bit, Pentagon though is not. I think it has to do with it beeing a DXi plugin. The compatibility isn't that good with newer systems.

Thats true, but i could imagine it needs knowledge of the original code to implement these in a good way. Never give up though, i think Pentagon and Square where awesome synths, so who knows.

Pentagon and Square are from RGC Audio and i think the original programmer isn't with Cakewalk anymore. Besides that, is Pentagon an old DXi plugin which is dead nowadays. If at all either Rapture, Zeta2 (actually that one is from RGC Audio too) or something completely new whould be the better option.

Do you have your old cakewalk.com account? Or Command Center, there are all your license keys.

Have you considered the i5 12400f? Its a 6C/12T CPU with plenty of power but low TDP. And with an Asus B660 Mainboard you can do BCLK OC'ing. My old PC starts to power off ramdomly, so i'm starting to look for a new System. I'll just keep my GT1030, Noctua U14S and my Old Case. The 12400 seems to be a good candidate.

We're also working on something exciting that will be announced relatively soon so at minimum hold out until then 😛

Oh, i can't wait 🤩

THX @ the team for your continuous work!

@Paul H,

i'm not doubting you about this, sorry if it sounded like that. I tried to point out, that even if its not that efficient as Reaper, its running generaly pretty good and stable. I'm running a 50-Track mixing project for example with over 100 FX instances wihout issues on my 14 year old i5 750 cpu (OC'd at 3.9 GHz on all 4 cores) and 16GB Ram. Many CPU draining FX with OS activated where it is necessary and still some room to breathe. Compared to Sonar X1 its running much much smoother now. So the thread poster can surely use it as his main DAW, nothing speaks against it 😄.

Check all the requests (with their dates) here and look at their release dates of StOne V5 and now V6. Some of the things are requested on their forums, but way later than the dates on this forum, and these are unique only to CbB feature requests.

One in particular: The new Automation curves they have . . . I've requested here - version 5 dropped and BOOM! They have it. It's nowhere to be found on their forum | nor their social media pages. I've looked it up. 

The curves I'm talking about are gated curves that works with snap settings. -  including the s-shaped curves to create a tremolo effect when snapping it to grid. 

 Obviously, it could be members taking these requests over their too. Nonetheless: These were request unique only to CbB. 

Oh no, Presonus agents are spying 👀🤓

Yes, this is true with every brand. But there is a crucial difference whether you are able to use what you have or not! E.g. Reaper or some older DAWs can be authorized on new systems even if the company is gone! This feels save! 😉 I prefer those kind of authorization also for plugins, because you never know!

Noel mentioned that in case of a server shutdown, they'll allow users to authorize it without online checking. I'm trusting them to use some kind of free key we can use forever.

Nowadays I find Reaper is my go-to DAW as I find it far more stable than Cakewalk.

Not that i'm questioning your experience, but on my PC  Cakewalk is running pretty stable/smooth. Can't imagine how its running even better. But my brother is using Reaper for his Apple PC and its a good software.

@Will.

Did it happen in the past? Cause you are saying again?

Feature wise you can do almost everything like all the other DAW´s. Combined with your older Platinum and X2 license, you propably got some nice additional plugins like Zeta 2, Addictive Drums 2, Melodyne Essential, Linear Phase EQ and Multiband. I am working since Sonar 6 only with Cakewalk and never looked back. There was a time, where i was interessted in Presonus Studio One, but it wasn`t necessary.  Pro Channel, innovative features like ARA support, comping, arranger track and many more are the reason i keep using it as my main DAW. 

Your concern about how future proofed Cakewalk is, you sadly never know. Every brand could go down the toilet in the future, noone is safe. The bakers said, that in this case they whould give the users a free authorisation. Let´s just hope it never happens :).

I had an 10 year old GPU from Nvidia and noticed, that it needs more graphics power. Then i bought a used  GT 1030 and it runs much better now on my old PC.
