I like my Nektar Impact+88

Probably a setting with your sound card/audio interface. What audio interface are you using?  If it is the built in Realtek to you have something like "stereo mix" or "record what you hear" enabled.

Send a support request to Support@cakewalk.com

What are you trying to play back?  Do you have a track with audio on it? Do you have a midi track and VSTi or a simple instrument track?  What is your Master bus set to output to?

Try some of the videos in the Tutorials form. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/

Does the GSatPlus offer a mix parameter? If it does you could automate the wet/dry of the plugin rather then the on/off. Another thought is to  create an axiliary track and then add a send for each track to the auxiliary track. Then you could automate the volume of the aux track.

Admittedly, those are just work arounds for what you are trying to do. I don't know why the on/off automation would not work.

Or just drag the divider over to only see the first one.

Could be a registry error or a DLL got removed/moved or you updated., Try to reset your vsts and rescan.

You need to follow your signal levels through the whole system.  On the track that the instrument is playing what levels are the meters showing?  What is the source of  the sound your are playing? Audio clip, Virtual Instrument inside Cakewalk or an external device?

Your going to have to give more information.  How is the mic connected to the computer? Is it a USB mic or is it connected through an audio interface? What driver mode are you using (WASAPI, ASIO etc)?

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

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

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.

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.

You may have to start in safe mode and either replace sound center or re-set it up.

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.

There is a members song forum for this sort of thing.,

What is your plugin layout set to? Maybe you don't have the one selected that you are showing in the plugin manager
