  1. Well done everyone. Nice to discover I wasn't just making this up. But I failed to isolate it down (shame on me! ) to just being limited to the Fx bin! So moving a tad father to the left and yeah, I'm actually scrolling again! My bad. Must have just wiggled it around too much trying to get things scrolling again, to realize that I was hovering over the top of the Fx bin again. That said, I can't see what controls in that area need protection from users unintentionally tweaking the Fx bin. I suppose that the scroll wheel might potentially re-order the plug-ins selected in the Fx bin. That said, Sonar Platinum doesn't reorder the plug-ins when scrolling over the Fx bin, and allows scrolling up and down without reordering plug-ins. From a software design standpoint, I'd probably make clicking a control the prerequisite to enacting the scroll wheel, and there would be no issue with inadvertent tweaking when simply hovering over anything, but that's a personal preference. If there is anyone on the planet who has a bit of a personal history of stumbling upon software idiosyncrasies like this, it's me. Just couldn't make sense of it, when it has never been an issue as a long time user of Sonar. With your help, I am pleased to confirm that it has nothing to do with my new PC, Windows 11 or the processor. I have all of you to thank for that! Really appreciate everyone chiming in, contributing their observations and for showing the interest to assist. Great forum experience!! Again, very well done!
  2. Hey tecknot, I do expect that the scroll wheel is likely working fine on the vast number of systems for other users. If it wasn't, it's annoying enough from a workflow perspective to be negatively commented about in large numbers. Can you confirm whether your PC is similar to mine in terms of Windows version, Cakewalk by BandLab version and 12th generation Intel? My gut, tells me that may be the reason that the software is not responding the way it has for other users with older systems... I might be wrong, but my setup seems far too clean, too new for this behaviour to be due to something wrong with a brand new PC. I might be wrong, but highly doubt it. Appreciate all comments, but really interested in hearing from Windows 11 intel 12th generation owners.
  3. I appreciate your reply Base 57. The Solo button was just one example. If I was to simply try and adjust settings of FX plugins in various tracks, I would still now have to go back and forth left and right over the clip pane, for no other reason than to enable the scroll wheel. I did anticipate examples like this as a potential workaround. Unfortunately, they don't provide the functionality I have lost, or at best only resolve it a certain specific use case. Nonetheless, I appreciate the suggestion. The problem in this situation is that the scroll wheel becomes disabled immediately after clicking in the area I want to scroll in. Just the opposite of what you and I would both expect to happen. I'm assuming you have a scroll wheel on your input device and are able to scroll in the area just left of the clip panes in Cakewalk by BandLab, similar to what I can do presently running Sonar Platinum. Perhaps you are running CakeWalk by BandLab software on an older version of Windows with a different processor, which might explain why things are different for you. If there are others out there who are running Cakewalk by BandLab on a Windows 11 PC with a 12th generation intel processor, I'd be interested to know whether they are encountering the same behaviour so I could make an apples to apples comparison.
  4. Long time Cakewalk user since version 5 through to Platinum. This is my first post after deciding to try Cakewalk by BandLab on a completely new Windows 11 PC build. Initially, I thought it might be a Logitech driver issue, but that's not the case. I even uninstalled the Logitech drivers and still observed the same behaviour on WIndows 11. The scroll wheel works fine to pan up and down tracks when I am hovering over the clip view. The moment I hover the mouse to the left of the clip view over the track controls in the audio track strip, all vertical scrolling stops. Sometimes, if I don't click to the left of the clip pane scrolling will continue to scroll for a bit (perhaps until the software recognizes where I am hovering over on the interface), but the scroll wheel function will be disabled immediately if I click anywhere to the left of the clip pane, until I move the pointer back over the clip pane. Then the scroll wheel works again, as normal. For example, when I want to solo a bunch of tracks, I have to click "S", then move the pointer to the right over the clip view, then scroll up to the next track I want to select, then move back to the left, click "S" (disables scrolling), and move back to the right, scroll up/down, and repeat back and forth just to solo a bunch of separated tracks in the track view. Attempted the same task on my version of Sonar Platinum, I can scroll up and down over the control buttons in the track view with the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is not disabled when I hover over the track controls in the audio track strip, so it is not a Windows 11 issue. This loss of the scroll wheel is really disruptive to convenient workflow. There's likely way more improvements that have been made to Cakewalk by BandLab, but having to go left and right or even farther to the right to grab the scroll bar is a serious pain. Is there something I am missing here folks? Some special control key that enables the scroll wheel to work properly, or at least the way it does in Sonar Platinum? This cumbersome back and forth is not necessary in Sonar Platinum... and I was hoping to make the jump to BandLab with the new PC build. I find no evidence that this is a Logitech driver or Window's issue, given that there are no such issues on Sonar Platinum. Is this scroll wheel behaviour on Windows 11 and Cakewalk by BandLab version 2022.01 (Build 029) a first, or have BandLab users just come to accept the loss of functionality?
