What audio interface do you have and does it come with native ASIO drivers? (ASIO4ALL does not count and should be avoided if possible)

I have many Meldaproduction plugins and I have had zero issues installing and using them within Cakewalk by Bandlab 2020.11 Build 99 (or any earlier version). I am currently using 14.16b (Beta) of the Meldaproduction plugins. The first thing you might like to try is uninstalling and then reinstalling the Microsoft Vdist Runtimes. The last Microsoft Vdist Runtimes can be downloaded from here: See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

What driver mode are you using. For the Focusrite Scarlett you would want to use ASIO as the driver mode in Cakewalk. Also, make sure you're using the latest Focusrite Scarlet drivers.

What are you using the play the exported file with? Windows may be configured to apply its own modifications to the sounds played using Windows playback applications (EQ, effects, volume, etc) Cakewalk, on the other hard, is likely not doing this. This would especially be true if you are using ASIO for the driver mode within Cakewalk.

I'm afraid there is not.... not for soft synths anyway. Only hardware synths allow this as part of their respective instrument definition files. But you know what. That would make one hell of a feature request (for the already huge list).

Don't use the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth - IMHO, it's rubbish. Insert the synth TTS-1 to use to play you MIDI tracks. (I am assuming that the MIDI files you're opening are in general MIDI format. If you don't have a hardware MIDI port installed and you open a MIDI file, an instance of TTS-1 will automatically be created for you with the MIDI channels already correctly assigned. If you do have a hardware MIDI port installed and you open a MIDI file, the MIDI tracks will have their outputs set to the first hardware port they find. In that case you can insert the soft synth TTS-1. Then you can redirect the MIDI outs of all the MIDI tracks to TTS. I am pretty sure that the tracks MIDI channels will be correctly set. This may step you in the right direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY5kh6geRZo

I am totally going to buy plugins that can do the same with what I already have......

Title says it all.

Currently there is a bug that if you have MXXXCore, MCreativeFXBundle (which gives you Msuperlooper, MFilter and MTurboReverbLE) and the paid version of MFreeFXBundle (Which gives you MEqualizer), it still does not activate Mturboreverb. This is current as of 14.16b beta. According to the KVR forums, this should be fixed in the next Melda Beta 14.16 update.

I do this with Studioware panels with CAL script programmed on some sliders. For instance, I have a random velocity slider that, when moved, introduces random fluctuations to the velocities of select note events. The more I move the slider up, the more the random deviations occur. I also have a button on the same Studioware panels that, when pressed, asks for an amount of maximum deviation. This then introduces slight random fluctuations to the timings of select note events. I have also written a CAL script that lays down slight random pitch bend events to simulate slight random pitch variations. Even though CAL is not officially supported in the later Cakewalk version, learning CAL can greatly expand the MIDI editing possibilities in Cakewalk.

I have written a couple of CAL scripts that do this. 2, 3, and 4 note split (Which is enough to suit my needs....)

You do not edit them in the event view. However, to edit specific automation nodes, you can head to the automation lane. Then you can right click on the specific node and select properties. Then you can enter the values numerically.

I noticed that too.... and could not resist the particular price they were asking for MMixingFXBundle

There is. I have MTurboCompLE and an upgrade to MTurboComp FULL is listed as one of the upgrade options.

Can you give us a bit more information about your set set up..

Is this with “Fast Bounce” on or off? (try both)

Some more info about your system and configuration would be handy.....

My money is on a plugin doing this

Don't forget to check your spam folder......

That all looks fine there. Very similar to mine. I am currently doing a project with AD2 and I am not having the issues you're describing. Definitely update the Focusrite drivers.... even if it doesn't solve the issue, it always good to have the latest. Just to rule out a hardware issue, have a look at the Windows system event viewer for any hardware issues that stick out... especially hard disk errors (like bad blocks). It wouldn't do any harm using a utility to check the disk's SMART info.... I use CrystalDiskinfo for this.

I have to admit to having no clue what could be causing this. Renaming your AUD.INI certainly wouldn’t do any harm. Also, have your checked that the driver for your audio interface is the latest (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates)? Maybe a Windows updated borked the driver. Is your Windows fully patched? Using the latest AD2 (Which is 2.1.14 build 201201)? Can you tell us a bit about your audio subsystem (the card used, driver mode, sample rate, bit depth, audio buffer size)

If you really need notation, then you might be better of with an application that has that as it's main task. The reason I prefer the PRV is because it allows for imperfections to be visually represented and edited to the tick.

Is it possible that Adobe Audition installed it's own ASIO driver (like Magix installs its “MAGIX Low Latency Driver”)? If so then remove that and see if it makes a difference.

And besides, notation is too strict and confined compared to the flexibility afforded to by the PRV

Have you made sure that the plugin's *.DLL (if they are VST2) or *.VST3 (if they are VST3) files are in folders as defined in Preferences | VST settings | VST Scan path? If so, then you might want to perform a reset and scan from that same preferences screen.
