You may have to contact support to get your password to work with the old command center. Support@cakewalk.com

I just tried it and you can just type the CC number manually into that field. Those are just the ones that have a default use.

I had the same problem. You have to go into your account and add an address with your location. Otherwise, it defaults to some Europe location and charges you VAT

Find the aud.ini file on your system and delete it. Should be somewhere like Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Cakewalk https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=INI_Files.6.html

Do you have auto-save enabled? If so you might have an earlier version from which you can recover the lost midi.

Make sure that you don't have any workspace selected and if there is one, that it is not locked. Screensets will also store the visible state of tracks and folders. https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Lenses.1.html

Once you use the generic surface you may have to map the controls to what you want to control. Personally, for generic control I have found that @azslow3 controller software the most customizable. Sorry, I can't walk you through it because I have never got consistent results controlling VSTi's and the like with my Nektar controller. I use it mostly for the faders, pan, and recording midi. https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=ExternalDevices.15.html

You may have to start in safe mode and either replace sound center or re-set it up. https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035040954-Cannot-Open-a-Project

Could be a midi controller, such as volume, expression etc, that gets reset at the start of the song.

For me when this notification shows up there is another toast with a link to Log In,

Or markers. I use the Arranger sections as chord names. A chord track has been requested.

I don't think you want to create an instrument track for Helix native. It is an effect not a source of audio. You would create an audio track, record some audio, like a guitar, then add helix as an effect in the effect bin, You could then control Helix native with midi to switch snapshots, pedals etc.

This might give you some ideas. It doesn't show Cakewalk specifically but the principles should be the same. https://support.soundtoys.com/article/90-midi-control

There is a members song forum for this sort of thing., https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/30-songs/
