There's a bounce mode you can try if freezing isn't working properly:

Not that kind of freeze, I mean Studio One stops responding and I have to kill it.

I did get it to work in Waveform so I was able to try it out. I watched all the videos and played around with it for a while last night. I like the idea but I am not convinced that it is any faster or better then using Superior Drummer and its midi files. I usually have to had modify stuff anyway to fit what I am doing. 

I was hoping the fills in Jamstix would be useful since I am not very good with coming up with unique and interesting fills.  I tried playing around with the fills in a section for a while and was unable to get the brain to do a fill that I thought sounded very good. It just sounded like random hitting of drums. I tried all the "up, down, flat" etc. played with complexity and all the other options.  Maybe I was expecting too much?

I would really like to try this seeing as I have been eyeing it for quite some time. I downloaded the free version, installed and tried to load it into Studio One and it just freezes Studio One.  I also tried it in Waveform and it didn't even show up.  I have an email support request in but have not heard back.  Any ideas from those that have it.  

I have the x64 VST 2 version installed and scanned an all my hosts are 64 bit.

You have to make sure that windows is not using the microphone.  One way that might work is to disable it in the sound manager control panel so that windows will not use it.

It is lighter in the CPU and has some slightly different features. I use it for putting on tracks and ozone for buses and mastering

I have had problems like this in the Pro Channel, particularly with the console emulators but it could be any of them. Do as "scook" suggests and turn them off one by one until sound starts again.

This is just a shot in the dark but has your audio interface or the project bit depth or sampling rate been changed?  

Just my 2cents. I use the gain knob to get initial levels going into the FX bin and track fader where I want them for things like hitting a compressor or saturator at a level I like.  This might not even be necessary if the plugin has an input gain on it.  In that case I use it to set an approximate level so my volume faders can be set close to the 0db level. This gives me more resolution when I am mixing and want to tweak the level of the track in the mix.

You could also do all this with clip envelopes or destructively applying gain to a track and then leave the gain knob at 0.

This should probably be in the feature request sub-forum

It looks like a new version keeps coming out every year.  I have W8 & W9 and I realize that they need to make money to keep the store open, but then they seem to stop updating last year's version as soon as the new one is released. It is almost like a subscription, in that you don't get any more bug fixes unless you keep buying the latest version.  I would rather they slow down the pace a bit and maybe release some .5 releases in between major versions.

Plus, I have a really hard time with the user interface. It is quite different from Cakewalk, Studio One, Mixbus etc. It is pretty capable but I really struggle with its interface and so have not updated.

I don't have your interface but it sounds to me like you have some sort of "record what you hear" or output looped back into the input setting. The metronome should not be record-able unless the input you are recording is some copy of the output.

While in the PVR if you kit the 'T' key this should bring up a floating toolbar where you can select the draw tool.  A middle mouse button click might work as well. You could also look in the keyboard bindings for the pencil tool.

I believe if you 'alt-click' on a bus to select it it will select the tracks and other buses that are routed to it.  It may be 'ctrl-click' but it is one of those.

If you send to a bus then that takes a copy of the signal and sends it to the bus. You could still have the output of the track going to a different bus. This allows you to send some of the tracks signal into say, a reverb bus.  Then each track to which you want to apply that reverb can have a send to that bus with its own individual level of reverb.

If you have the input of each instrument track set to the same midi channel or omni then this can happen if they also have input echo enabled.  I think there is a setting so that only the selected instrument track gets input echo enabled by default.  Check to see if the input echo on the other instruments is enabled?

I don't think you would want to rename them. Cakewalk keeps a reference to these files for use in the DAW. If you rename them in the folder Cakewalk will not be able to find them.  Anytime you split, bounce, record etc. Cakewalk keeps track of these file for its use and may create new ones. The files in the audio directory are how Cakewalk manages them for its use.  They are not meant to be directly accessed by a user. If you want your own copy of wave files for your tracks then you could export them as stems and save them in a folder of your choosing.

You can also "pin" plug-in windows so they will stay open when you click on a different one.

Midi or audio?  Try bouncing to clip and see if that helps

There is nothing I know of to make them appear other then make sure they are installed. The Saturation knob and the ReMatrix are both 3rd party ones that might require you to install them from an older Cakewalk?

I think I tried that before a long time ago.  I usually have it set to "Melodic" for a single vocal track.       I seem to remember the other choices either didn't work or didn't sound as good.  I might try the Universal algorithm and see if that improves anything.   Thanks!

Try adjusting the formants of the blobs that you move. I find that if I tune more then a few 10ths of a semitone an adjustment of the formants is needed.
