Noel's probably upset that I haven't covered the Dynamite Blurch Injector either

You also haven't covered duper swapper a mythical feature that only cakewalk insiders know about
Be warned its like the bird cage though!

Templates do not enforce the sample rate. When you create a project from a template it inherits the sample rate set as the default for new projects. (unless you override it in the new project dialog)

I just tested the basic template with my default rate set to 48k and the project properly came up as 48k. 
Is it possible that your audio device is refusing to be set to 48K for some reason? If so it will fallback to 44.1. Some devices only switch through their control panel...

Which driver mode are you using?

The typical load time of CbB even on a fully loaded system is just a couple of seconds for most.

Questions and things to try:

Which version of Cakewalk are you using?

Are you opening just the program first or trying to load a project or template by double clicking it?

Check your VST settings and ensure scan failed plugin's is not enabled. This can slow down startup if you have a lot of plugins in your path that wont scan properly. You can try turning off scan on startup to verify this.

Do you see any toast messages on startup - if so which messages show for the longest time?

It could also be related to an audio device that is taking excessively long to initialize so try disabling or changing the audio device in preferences. You can also experiment with different driver modes to troubleshoot if its related to your audio device.

The fundamental purpose of the comping feature is to create a comp track from all the take lanes that has no overlaps. So leaving the prior take alone wouldn't be appropriate here since it would overlap with the new take.

Mix recall will only recall changes to EXISTING tracks and buses from the mix scenes. i.e if you added new tracks or buses to your project and load an older scene the new tracks will be unaffected. And vice versa if you load a scene containing tracks from a newer project into an older version, the new tracks won't come across.

Mix recall is designed to handles changes that affect the mix. It won't add or remove core tracks or buses or audio data itself.

No the old forum will be independent and locked.

If you added tracks you should save a new scene. Older scenes won't affect the newly added tracks although you can still load them to affect the previous tracks.

Loading effects isn't a problem with mix recall. In most cases it takes about a second to restore a mix including effects. The exception is for cases where you have instruments with large sample banks in which case it can take longer to restore. Its still way more efficient that loading different versions of a project to A/B.

Thanks everyone. WIll try those. I did try searching for it but only item shows up is that Dialog box I posted above. 

Everything is working  fine but I really don't want unwanted drivers lurking. 

I have a feeling it got installed with the Magix ( Vegas) Movie Studio Plat. 

AFIK the Generic Low Latency ASIO driver comes from Steinberg software. I had nightmares with this driver since it causes some ASIO apps to crash. (not CbB)

I had to hunt it down in the registry and when I found the dll I simply renamed the DLL to remove it. I didn't find it in my add remove programs so I assume I got it from an older Cubase install at some point. ASIO drivers are COM objects so if you find the ASIO driver CLSID you will find the dll listed under its inproserver32 entry.

For me it was here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{52EBAE30-47E4-483F-B87B-770314306005}

c:\program files\steinberg\asio\asioglld.dll

The main ASIO reg key is here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO

Thanks for the videos - it seems my problem was I wasn't waiting for the whole project to reload. Is that how it's meant to work? I didn't think reloading all the VST instruments, etc was necessary - but that's what it does. 

Its not necessary. If you don't want effects to be saved and loaded in a mix recall preset just deselect FX in the Mix recall settings.  When you do this it will skip attempting to restore effects. Its completely configurable.

Thanks Noel.  It does work from the plugin browser.  I don't normally use the plugin browser, and when I first tried your suggestion I was uncertain what you were talking about because I could not immediately see the folder for FX Chain.  I have a fair amount of menus and the FX Chains is down at the bottom, so I had to scroll to even see that it was there.

This seems to be a bit inconsistent of functionality to me that drag and drop is not supported from the media browser.  The media browser supports drag and drop of audio clips, midi clips, and track templates, why not FX Chain Presets?

 

 

Its in the plugin browser since that's the repository of all plugin related assets. Also we automatically enumerate them as opposed to requiring you to browse to a folder. We could potentially allow dragging them from there but its not where most users would go looking for them.

fixed

Doh that might be a problem

Drag and drop for fx chains works from the Plugins tab in the browser. Please try it from there rather than the media browser.

We do only the minimal testing on Win7. None of the development staff use it anymore so its only tested in a virtual machine.
Microsoft isn't fixing issues either other than security updates which will also stop soon.

Please upgrade to Win10 if you want the best CbB experience. Its vastly improved for audio despite what some might believe. WASAPI, Bluetooth, the scheduler as well as codec support are greatly improved in Win10.

Hi. My name is Bob "Notes" Norton and I just downloaded Cakewalk

Welcome Bob. I think decades ago I bought one of your style packs for BIAB.

We have a closed beta program. If you want to participate send a PM with your details for consideration to @Jon Sasor

Ok Let me know beforehand so I can be at the booth since I may be at meetings otherwise.

As long as you know that you won't ever be able to leave...

The browser is the preferred place to insert plugins. Menus are the least efficient way. Why is searching the browser clumsy?

I understand the request. However I'm not seeing why this is that much more efficient than setting up a traditional group - besides the fact that you may want to delete the group after you are done with this. It seems like that functionality is a substitute for the more general grouping we have.

>>also there is a Solo selected tracks command WITH an assignable hotkey in the Track View, but it does not work in the Console View.

We can look into that.

In your example what you are doing is soloing different groups of tracks. Why not do this using the standard grouping feature?

• Select the tracks you want 
• Right click on the solo button and set to Group A
• Select the second set of tracks or buses and assign to Group B
• Now you can easily toggle the solo groups created above independently 

In fact grouping this way is also compatible with the exclusive solo state. If exclusive solo is on and you click on a different solo group it will toggle off the prior group.

Bingo. Scook knows all.

You can drag a track and drop it into another folder today. There is no need to remove and add it manually...

Thats what the Songs forum is for.
