AHA! Thank you for your insightful input. NI (specifically Kontakt 7) is what seems to be the bugaboo in this case. I have had no other problems integrating my wealth of NI stuff into Cakewalk. However, Kontakt 7 has caused some real headaches lately. Thank you both for your thoughtful replies and unique perspectives. You have each been very helpful. -
No problemo! I tend to do the same, and have witnessed exactly what you describe. I do my due diligence before daring to declare that I may be lost, which is why I can be sensitive to being treated like another average bear, so to speak. It does seem to be an issue with timing/CPU/memory, but not necessarily due to my machine's specs. This issue usually does not present itself and therefore is not a regular concern. When it does interfere, though, it can be super frustrating. The feel of this issue reminds me of having a slower bandwidth connection and trying to click links which delay, then the screen shifts, and before you realize it you're lag-hoppin' toward some strange Singapore website and– ya know... LOL I appreciate your honesty and hope you trust mine. Peace, Brother!

I think it is important to note that I only seem to have these issues when using Native Instruments plugins within Cakewalk. Similarly, certain NI plugins cause CW to completely crash and close upon my closing the NI VST window before minimizing it. IDK for sure, but this seems to be related somehow. Specifically, Kontakt 7 has been troublesome in this way.

Sounds important, though I am not sure how relevant. After further troubleshooting experiments, it seems CW is simply choking on too much too soon after launch. This is likely because I have it scan for VST's every time. I guess I could turn that off if I am not actively procuring more at the moment. To be more precise, the main interface that gives me gruff is the Pro-Channel controls, and specifically the console emulator functions. Most simple tasks run without issue upon CTRL + click. The Pro-Channel on/off switches for Tube control, console type, and component tolerance are the exact parameters which work A-OK in most projects, but for whatever reason, will not respond to multi-select and CTRL + click within some projects. IDK Again, my apologies for whipping out the real D*CK which I have zero problem becoming whenever shallowly challenged. I truly understand where we all come from, for better and worse. I forgive all "slights" and hope the same for all others. Thanks again~

To clarify, the issue is not my keyboard. It is possible that it is my tuned mouse, but only presents as problematic in specific situations with so many tracks and upon adjusting certain parameters. It COULD be a processor/memory constraint, though my diagnostics and system specs indicate that is not the case. Perhaps it has something to do with maneuvering too quickly after a project load– before the "somewhat" slow CW has completed scanning all my VST's. Or maybe, it occurs when a certain pro-channel emulator is changed simultaneously along too many tracks at once for it to digest. At any rate, as a programmer and blah blah blah credentials blah n qualifications blah blah... I have better things to do than get down and jiggy with it here Thank you both, sincerely, for your contributions. I apologize for letting my mouth run. I know at least one of you can sympathize with me on this

Thank you for your feedback, but I am not a dolt who assumes he knows about my keyboard, Lord Byron. It is a bug, as verified. Thankfully the solution is simply to go REALLY slow with certain parameter changes among so many tracks, simultaneously. Ever hit the save button while playing 64 tracks with numerous plugins? Yeah, even computers need time to swallow their pride. Thanks again you guys. First reply was helpful. Second is drivel from a condescending vulture perch. Nothing personal; I have been a troll for waaaay too long myself. Old habits Die Hard, and sometimes require one to traverse broken glass with bare feet Peace

So, the search function returned such generic results I decided to simply ask outright. I apologize if this has been covered before, but I've looked and not found. Apparently the oh-so-useful "CTRL + click" mechanism to adjust parameters of multiple selected tracks at once sometimes decides to stop working. I have not yet been able to figure out the culprit. In some projects it is just fine and functions as expected. However, in other projects (and/or seemingly projects in which it had previously worked), it will only change the last track touched, despite multiple tracks being selected and CTRL being depressed while mouse is clicked. I have noticed that one seems to have to perform this operation rather slowly for it to catch. The problem is that sometimes, for whatever reason, it simply is not possible. Has anyone else experienced this and/or is there a real fix? Thank you all!
