Personally, this is where I start thinking of another manufacturer.

I use a CAL script to set NOW to the same distance from its nearest measure that the FROM marker is from its nearest measure. Say the FROM marker (THRU marker is somewhere after) is at 23 ticks before measure 10 and the NOW marker is nearest to measure 30 and I want to copy stuff that includes the events that start at 23 ticks before Measure 10 and retain that offset at Measure 30. 1) Make sure the stuff you want to copy and paste is selected. 2) Copy the items to the clipboard (or Cut if necessary) 3) Run the CAL script, This moves NOW to 23 ticks before measure 30 4) Paste the items. Here is the CAL Script (do (dword time_now) (dword time) (dword goto_offset) (dword time_plus1) (dword offset) (dword stored_from) (dword measure) (dword measure_plus_1) (dword stored_from_measure) (dword new_measure) (dword new_time) ;move now to nearest measure (= measure (meas Now)) (= measure_plus_1 measure) (++ measure_plus_1) (= time (makeTime measure 1 1)) (= time_plus1 (makeTime measure_plus_1 1 1)) (= offset time_plus1) (-= offset time ) (/= offset 2) (+= offset Now) (= new_measure (meas offset)) (= Now (makeTime new_measure 1 0)) ;move Now to the left by From's distance to measure to the right (= stored_from_measure (= measure (meas From))) (++ stored_from_measure) (= stored_from (makeTime stored_from_measure 1 0)) (= goto_offset stored_from) (-= goto_offset From) (-= Now goto_offset) );end Scipt I use this script for every project and many of the stuff I do is not exactly on the grid. I hope that makes sense (and what you are after).

It will eventually need to reauthorise...

Have you optimised you PC for audio? You might want to look into disabling any sleep settings on your PC and optimise the power settings. See about disabling Speedstep and C-States. (This is done in the bios - if you are not sure how to do that, then get someone to physically help with this) Set CPU power settings min and max to 100%. Start + Run "control powercfg.cpl,,1" without quotes (Under Processor Power Management)

Have you used task manager to check for any background tasks that is running that could be interfering with audio playback Maybe give Latency Mon a look into. https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon

Personally, since my last contribution to this thread, I have actually created a Studioware Panels (with the required CAL scripts embedded) that converts between CAT and PAT Aftertouch Events and back.

If you have an SSD, then do not defrag (reduces its lifespan).

I just use GMMIDI https://www.gnmidi.com

You can change the event type from Text to Lyric, but you lose the actual text word as CAL does not have access to the TEXT value.

I have { to set "From = Start" and } to set "Thru = End" Preferences - Customisation - Keyboard Shortcuts (Advanced)

This is a Windows issue rather than a Cakewalk issue. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-broken-missing-icons-thumbnails-windows-10/

Tried saving as MIDI it instead of exporting? If default settings do not work, try type 0.

Select the bus with the automation on it, then press SHIFT + A

It's definitely the online thing. If you are online and your PC can access the Cakewalk servers, you won’t get the pop up.

Those specs should be ok. When you send the guitars to a single bus containing the Amp Sim (which is a good approach), are you sending the tracks output to the bus or are you using sends?

Reminds me of "Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on again!" (From IT Crowd).

Or simply copy and then start + run, and paste the following %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Lenses\User

How much ram do you have? What CPU do you have? What audio interface do you have. You say it's ASIO, but is that a true native driver or are you using a wrapper like ASIO4ALL?

Are you using Windows Task Manager to determine what portion of your total ram is being used by Cakewalk? Are you sure that, rather being a memory issue, that this is not a CPU power issue? Memory is usually taken up by things like large sample libraries. Giving us your PC specs would be a good start.

That's good to know. Some in the past have been non commercial. Maybe Magix changed their policy.

Unless you purchase a Magix commercial licence, they are 'for personal use only'.

NO, because any earlier version of CbB will eventually deactivate - and then it would not reactivate. You would have to use a previous version that is not Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Not at this time.

and as long as you are online, you won’t.

Or give users a check box to suppress the installation of Pace. I should not have to do this, but I cancel the Pace installer component. The necessary UVI stuff has installed correctly by the time it gets to the PACE install.
