So if I'm reading this correct, it seems that Spectrasonics in their wisdom adding a 9th output to Trilian, RMX & Omnisphere with their June update. This caused Cakewalk to as I call in some instances scramble the vsts or silence outputs of other vst instances. I reported this to Spectrasonics, I even sent them a project to test and stated they couldn't find an issue at their end. I thought I was the only one experiencing the issue so relieved that others found the issue and that devs managed to find the problem. I hope CbB has communicated this to Spectrasonics! Thanks for rectifying the issue...

and Stylus RMX we discovered the other day...

hopefully, this is fixed now, I ended up having to swap omnisphere dlls all the time to stop the issue happening...

ive just logged in, first time in a few weeks..i thought i was going mad until I saw your messages!!!!! Ive just updated Cakewalk and low and behold found this... "Projects saved with older version of Omnisphere open with input ports assigned to incorrect instruments."

Its 2.7.0f now...youll be fine! This is only a problem 1. if you have installed the June Omnisphere patch and 2. gone back to older project using prior to 2.7.0f

It seems our output silence/vst scrambling issue is related to the most recent Omnisphere update. This release was early June. I've since loaded an old dll of Omnisphere from January (not ideal) and this works. Whether the latest update to Cakewalk has made the Omnisphere dll unstable is unknown. Its only when I went back to a project pre-June Omnisphere release did I realise that there was an issue. I cant confirm though if this affects projects that use Trilian or Stylus RMX yet.

UPDATE: If you have Omnisphere. DO NOT UPDATE IT! This is the problem... ive rollback to a previuos dll from January and this works...i cannot state if Trilian and Stylus RMX are affected yet....

For about 2 weeks, both me and my partner have been experiencing silent output from vst tracks. This is on ALL previous projects on CbB. So part of our troubleshooting process is to try them in Splat. We have silence in Splat as well and Sonar X3. You can see there is an output from the vst instrument as there are levels (i.e. from Omnisphere or Kontakt), however no output to the Master bus. We tried deleting the master bus and recreating to no avail. The only solution is to create and new instrument and replicate. Now this is happening on BOTH our systems. I have some commercial work I need finishing and this has stopped me in my tracks and my partner needs to work on backing tracks for our covers band. Now, new projects are fine, no problems but all historical created in CbB or Splat are affected. Bizarrely, it seems that one track will play normally and unaffected, maybe makes this exclusive to the output? We are on latest Win10 and Cakewalk version 2021.04 Build 175 using Focusrite scarlett 2i2 and 6i6 AI's. If this isn't a direct issue with Cakewalk we have to ask what else could be affecting our outputs, maybe a win10 update? Or a vst thats gone rougue? Who knows!

So, it seems this might be an issue with V12 plugins... im doing a 'rollback' to V11. Heres the link : https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-roll-back-to-waves-v11 UPDATE: Back to V11 of Ovox...still crashes Cakewalk...

yes, rather than total crash it operates but crashes when changing presets...

oh bollocks!

well this is still happening... I've just bought Ovox... loaded up a project and then saw this thread... I froze Riser and the Ovox worked... however Cakewalk crashes as I cycle through Ovox presets...

Is there a problem with the new release? Both me and my partner have been getting BSODs all day. All our project instruments are scrambled yet again!

That's weird as never had to turn the keyboard icon on before but it did the trick! Many thanks! That might resolve an ongoing issue I've had with omnisphere for ages! Wonder why Guitar Rig 6 turns the active window off and all other plugins are fine..

I'm having issue that I have only noticed today. I cannot use the search dialogue box in Guitar Rig 6. Cakewalk doesn't recognize that my cursor is in this box. So if I type 'I' the Inspector closes. Pres 'r' in the box and it starts to record...you get the picture. Question is, is this a bug with Cakewalk or Native Instruments? Just upgraded to the very latest version...

thanks, what ive seen to-date is videos with other DAWs routing out to Voicemeter and into OBS (or Logitech Capture) but if this can be resolved without the use of third party software then great...

Have you checked the VST Scan Paths or maybe move the folders by accident?

I have finally acquired a Logitech Webcam for Christmas! My mission is to record audio and screen capture straight form Cakewalk whilst I have a small video of yours truly in the corner. After playing around with the Logitech software, it seems that I cannot capture sound from Cakewalk as it seems my Focusrite drivers seems to lock the audio exclusively. When I play music in VLC player, I have audio. After researching this, it seems this is an issue for most DAWs inc. Cakewalk and the solution lies in a free audio software called Voicemeter where you route Cakewalk into Voicemeter and through the Logitech Screen Capture software (and OBS seems to be another favourite). I wondered if this is the best solution? Anyone have experience with this process?

I'm trying to move my entire project by 1 bar. I 'Select All' click 'Shift' then drag by 1 bar. This copies the entire project rather than moving it creating duplicate clips. If I do the same for selected clips or all clips in a track then it moves it. I've never noticed this before even when selecting the 'Move ' tool it still copies.

Im sure this has been discussed before but I'll ask again. I would like to capture/record ONLY the output of a wet output from an effect insert on a track or bus. It looks like this involved Aux Tracks and Patch Points to achieve this. In the meantime im going to look at this article which might give the answer: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/8166-how-to-record-fx-sounds-from-the-tracks-fx-bin/

Im getting issues with my Omnisphere vst...sometimes when loading, I cannot click on a patch, however the patch sound changes. its as though the UI has frozen. Also, for some reason in Multi on Omnisphere, im getting occurrences of the patch being panned for no reason.

yep..that worked..thanks! funny never unchecked that before...never had the need to...

well, I thought it would be a PLAY issue...thanks for the tips.. Ive been putting up with this for ages..my work around (aux track) is a bit around the houses but until now this was the best solution of use another VST!

no, not yet...but will give it a go... generally Ive never been in a position where ive had to turn of fast bounce.. I assume this will then bounce the tracks down in real time?
