So I need to save the project to a new filename before sending to offline storage?

Thanks that picture helped.  I did have a small amount of difficulty finding it as you have to change the dropdown list to "all" to see all the track controls.  That did work and was easier than what I did.  After looking up how to make a duplicate of a mono track and then make the two a single stereo track in Cakewalk, I decided that learning what bounces are and using all kinds of busses and following long complicated instructions to do it, was way to much.  So I went back to audacity and duplicated the mono track and made it stereo track.  Then I was able to get panning plugins to work.  Thank you for this advice it will make it much simpler in the future. 

Cakewalk makes multiple copies of source files and stores them in its project directory "Audio"

They all have filenames like sourcename(6).  It is making multiple copies of source files and deleting  most of them.   I am still left with 3.28 GB in copies of 2.20 GB source files.  Why the need to make copies of source files and why so many that they are more space than the originals?

I have a similar question.  I want to make two mono tracks one stereo track.  When I look this up online it looks like I need to first get a degree in audio engineering and then figure out how to use this bounce stuff and busses in a long elaborate highly technical fashion to do a simple thing. I must not be finding the right instructions.  In audacity I can do it in a few clicks.  Is there a simple way to do this in cakewalk?

I have plugins that automate panning and that can even do 3D panning.  They work in LMMS but not in Cakewalk.  I cannot do the project in LMMS because the wav files are bigger than their 300MB limit.  I cannot do the project in Cakewalk as it does not allow for plugins to automate panning.  I cannot do it in Audacity as that only allows proprietary plugins and a few regular VST plugins but not the ones I am using. 

I am at a loss every road has been a dead end. 

I have tried Pancake 2, DearVR Micro and Panagement 2 and I could not get any of them to work.  They all work in LMMS.    I have a mono audio file.  I drop it into Cakewalk as a mono track and I put the panning plugins in the FX chain.  This is the same as I do in LMMS and it works there.  In Cakewalk no panning occurs.  The mono track is sent to both stereo channels equally.  If I use the pan control on the track I can pan it left or right.  However I cannot use a plugin to auto pan it.

Is thee any way to use these plugins in Cakewalk?
