Yes the AMD fixes are out now. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/10/amd-and-microsoft-release-fixes-for-ryzen-slowdowns-in-windows-11/

Make sure you are soloing MIDI tracks that are actually routed to Kontakt. If you solo a hardware MIDI track you wont hear Kontakt You may want to post a video so people can see how your project is set up and what operations you are doing

@Marty88888 which version of Cakewalk and Windows are you using? One think you can try is to update your Microsoft redistributables and retest. Here is an installer for all the redistributables needed by Cakewalk.

I'm implemented a fix for this. Thanks for the report. The issue is not exactly with exclusive solo but with the solo override feature. (shift clicking solo)

Can you submit a project that exhibits this? Many of these issues can be specific to projects. Are you using aux tracks?

Congratulations @Chris Boshuizen Just heard the amazing news! Did you compose anything in space? I'm sure it must be very ambient sounding

Next update will have a registry setting to make it auto fade out.

The only way for us to investigate if this is the case is to send us a zip of the full project with the audio that exhibits the issue.

Please use this installer going forward or update directly from within Cakewalk via Help | check for updates.

It doesn’t work the same way with buses. For a bus sidechain to be heard you have to solo both the recipient bus and the sending bus.

Follow this thread on Win 11

You don't have to. Opening the export dialog again automatically dismisses it.

Its apparently a virtual memory paging error. May be worth passing the info along to them in case they have received other reports of it.

FYI Re AMD systems https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-windows-11-slows-cpus-up-to-15-patch-coming

This is not a stock windows dialog so it's not unexpected that it has some differences in behavior. But we'll look into some improvements.

145 is indeed the latest release that's why.

@dave coomber Can you check the size and details for the installer file that was downloaded?

2021.09 Update 1 has been released. Go to Help Check for updates to download it.

As Morten wrote there is no error. Its working as designed.

@Laurence Levin If the program is exiting on start the most likely reason is that something has corrupted your C++ redistributables. Please download the latest redists or try reinstalling Cakewalk. Does it fail to load the application itself or is it failing to load a specific project file. If you are having an issue with a specific project please make sure you are running the latest EA build which is 145 and retry it.

This is a Roland driver bug. Drivers are supposed to handle abnormal termination properly. You have to power cycle the device after a crash.

The link in the main thread has been updated to Build 145. Thanks to Kim Strong for his assistance tracking down this issue. Issues Resolved in Build 145: S-Gear 2 VST3 plugin crashes on some systems when inserted

In every release of Cakewalk by BandLab we include a link to "Rollback installer" along with its product release notes. All historic product release information can be found here with links to the corresponding rollback installers. If you encounter a problem after a new release, you can try and rule out whether the problem is specific to that release by using a rollback installer. Running a rollback installer will revert the installed version to the last publicly released version before the installed version of Cakewalk you are running. NOTES Please note that the rollback installers are specific to each release. i.e. you cannot use a rollback installer downloaded for an earlier release on the latest release because it will fail to run. If you need to, you can also go back to past versions by downloading and running rollback installers in succession. To get back to the latest release after running a rollback installer go to Help | check for updates and reinstall the latest update. PS: We only support the most current version of the application. Since Cakewalk is always evolving, older versions may contain bugs and certain features may not function properly due to back end changes. Always work with the most current version of the application and directly report any problems to Cakewalk should you find any.

@Robert Stringer what issues specifically? There are no changes that would result in this. You can certainly roll back but its unlikely to solve anything.

Another build posted today with the following fixes. Link in main post. Issues Resolved in Build 144: MP3 options dialog does not show recalled task settings Export as MIDI exporting whole project if selection at time zero Intermittent crash when closing Arranger Section Context Menu Windows notification sound when opening export audio dialog in some projects
