    Hey everyone: Adding my Juno DS 61 via USB and I can see the faders moving but no sound. Am I not able to record the sounds from the DS into Cakewalk? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Using a Tascam 2x2.

    I am using it without problems. Use the Tascam as input and output under Preferences/Devices and monitor the Juno through the Tascam. You should notice that the Juno also has an integrated audio interface (as the Tascam but more basic) and maybe both are in conflict.

    Try holding the SHIFT key when starting CbB. This will restore files that are missing from the user directory such as the audio clips used in the metronome.

    This didn't solve the problem but a clean re-install did.

    Thank you!

  3. Thank you! The duplicating clips and show note names new features were a must for me. Also, my VST 3 Waves plugins are detected perfectly now. If the development keeps improving it will be difficult to justify the cost of a commercial DAW.

    Edit: The only thing I would ask for in future releases is a better HiDPI support. I only have a 13'3 inches HD monitor now on a laptop and the UI scaling could be improved in my opinion.

    WOW!!!! Thanks a lot, although I would have liked a staff view improvement.................     😭

    Me too, it needs an upgrade for sure. The program has some half finished or abandoned features such as: staff view, Matrix view, plug-in manager. I would suggest to deprecate some of them if they are not going to be developed.

    You can right click on the vertical keyboard on the left and temporarily set which note names display.  It gets the list from the drum maps that are available.  However, it would be nice if Screensets retained this setting.

    I mean to show the names directly on the notes and not only on the PRV keyboard, like this:

    AFAIK You can't do this in Cakewalk.

  6. I have been using Cakewalk for a while and I still miss an option to show note names on PRV MIDI notes. Taking into account that the Score Editor is not as well mantained as the rest of the program, this option is a must (in my opinion) when doing purely MIDI works. 

    Anyone else misses it? I can send Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the Bakers directly from Spain if they implement that function (not a bribe)

    I am also having issues with Waves plugins, specially with their virtual instruments (Grand Rhapsody and Basses). I love CbB but this is surely a drawback. 

    Edit: @Noel Borthwick I am sure that you are doing the best as you can and I am grateful with all The Bakers but maybe this should be revised again. No problems on scanning those plugins in REAPER and Studio One.

    I have to update this post. I have cleaned my VST folder of old and unused VST plugins, installed CbB 2019.07 and then the program detected all my Waves plugins. 

    Thank you Bakers!

    The thing about Cakewalk being free is that no matter what DAW people like to use, it's almost certain CbB will have features their DAW doesn't have. So it's worth downloading and becoming familiar with it. For example, I don't know of any program that can do the "drag a piece of music to the tempo track to analyze the tempo changes" function, or does virtual instrument upsampling (or mix recall).

    The biggest issue with CbB has always been reliability. For example I needed to do something with Waves plug-ins last night, and simply could not get all of them to show up (and for the ones that did, CbB insisted on showing only the 32-bit version). I'll keep trying, but  had to switch over to another DAW that handles them without difficulty to complete the task. So I think it's important the developers keep trying to nail down the loose ends, and make the most of what's already in there, before adding too much bling. 

    I am also having issues with Waves plugins, specially with their virtual instruments (Grand Rhapsody and Basses). I love CbB but this is surely a drawback.

    Since Play uses the iLok software protection you might want to install the latest version of the iLok License Manager from https://www.ilok.com

    In CbB you might want to look at the registry entry the VST scanner makes for your Play vst3 plugin.  You should have two of them:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\c:/program files/common files/VST3/Play.vst3
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\c:/program files/common files/VST3/Play.vst3*0 Play

    If you delete those keys and start CbB it will just re-scan Play itself (can be useful for testing).  There are a number of entries that tell what it thinks about the plugin.  isVst3, isX64, isSynth and the all important isBad. 

    Thank you Mathew. I can use Play Software now and all of the Waves plugins, the problem was that I had the options "Rescan failed plugins" and "Rescan all plugins" enabled under VST settings. I am not sure if this is a bug, but you can try it out the following: perform a VST reset and then enable those settings and do a manual scan. This way the program doesn´t find some plugins, including Play and Waves.

    It seems to work for me without any problems (that it didn't already have).  I loaded a few old projects and they all played just fine.  It also scans just fine in CbB, Cubase, Reaper, ACID 9.0 and Reason 10 for me.

    The fact your having problems with multiple DAWs and multiple vendors points to some sort of system level problem.  Reboot windows and fully update windows might be a good starting place.  We'd need a lot more information though to help you figure out exactly what the problem is.

    I have tested it on two different computers and I had exactly the same result: Cakewalk didn't detect the Play.vst3 plugin and REAPER crashed on the first scan but let me use the plugin after re-opening the program. 

    Windows 10 1903

    Cakewalk by Bandlab 2019.07

    PLAY software 6.1.2

     

  11. Is anyone using EW products on CbB? PLAY software is getting me mad. If I try to re-scan the VST plugins CbB gets stuck while scanning the latest VST version of the plugin. Even REAPER crashes while scanning it, but fortunately I can still using it in that DAW after the crash.

    Can anything be done to solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    Note: I am getting similar problems with Waves plugins (Grand Rhapsody Grand and Bass Fingers) but this time only in CbB.

    I've just tried it at 150% - it looks fine to me. There's not a lot of space to do much, as this effectively puts it way below the recommended screen resolution, but everything looks ok.

    I don't know how to describe it but for me it is looking a little blurred and too big to work comfortably.

  13. I am using Cakewalk on a 13'3 FullHD screen with the scale set to 150% and the program looks like crap. Is there any plans to improve the HiDPI support? Maybe am I missing any settings under preferences?

    Thank you!

  14. That's a worthy update! One that adds an excellent new feature and also fix some long-standing problems. I was hating this bug personally: "Staff view fails to persist on project load".

    I hope Bandlap to continue this way and finally end with the Gibson way of doing things. I mean, the "monthly" non-sense and the over-promising tendency.

    I got the bundle last time around.

    Great offer, especially, if like me, you don't have any decent video editing software.

    You also have Davinci Resolve for free. It's more than a decent video editor.

    It's been there since version 4 was released a year ago.  (I think?  Well it says SO is "ready" for ARA 2.)

    https://www.presonus.com/press/press-releases/Studio-One-4

    One of THE stupidest marketing (o whatever moves) ever IMHO. I almost didn't get it because of that.

    I'm just REALLY hoping the announcement  won't be an announcement for a v5 or something where they want you to pony up for another upgrade...

    Maybe Is it Studio One 4.5 or Notion 7?

    Super deal! Very tempting... I would have bought it if they had included at least one virtual guitar. Impact Soundworks and Orange Tree Samples has some nice ones, but I don't need 50 drumkits or 10 basses...

    well i haven't seen any "i'm moving to cakewalk from X" posts in forums, unlike all the "i'm moving from cakewalk to X" posts after the shutdown, possibly due to lack of marketing?

    There is nothing like a Marketing campaign for now... I wonder if it's because Bandlab is still preparing a new Cakewalk website or if It's due to Cakewalk not being a priority for them, time will tell. Nevertheless, It is also a reality that some people are switching to Cakewalk from different DAW, here an example:
