Cakewalk Arm64 Windows 11 on Mac M1
Noel Borthwick replied to Dylan O'Brien's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
@Skoo we updated the main app installer a couple of weeks ago. If you download the latest it should install fine on Windows 11 for ARM64. Download the Cakewalk Installer from here -
The biggest use of mix recall is to avoid the need to save different version of a project just to compare mixes. Its much quicker to switch mix recall presets than load the entire project file. Mix recall also will save and restore plugin settings and all your automation envelopes, something that digital mixing consoles cannot do.

Cakewalk Activation Error (20)
Noel Borthwick replied to Wong Jian Ming's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
@Wong Jian Ming and @Mark MoreThan-Shaw I've PM'ed you a link to a build that has some extra diagnostics. Please install it and PM me your results. If the error still occurs the extra information should shed some light on why its failing with the cakewalk exe. Thanks! -
Mix recall affects MIX settings, automation and fx, as documented here. Think of it as recalling mixer snapshots for your project including effects and automation data. It works by applying those settings to the current track data your project, which is the actual tracks and clips. If you remove tracks or clips, mix recall will not bring the deleted tracks and clips back. Also any saved mix recall settings that reference tracks or buses that do not exist in the project will be ignored. Why do you need to delete tracks from the project? Just mute them and use mix recall to save a snapshot of the mute state.

Strange. It would be good to find out which redist was damaged. Can you see if this installer helps? -
Save mix Read/Write parameters for later use?
Noel Borthwick replied to Sven's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Yes mix recall is the solution that handles this. It will actually save all the envelopes and plugin / track settings that can be restored from a snapshot. -
Cakewalk Activation Error (20)

Ok that indicates that it's not related to the release and is environmental. Nothing has changed with the activation process in over a year. Which version of windows are you running? It's possible that some windows update impacted this, or for that matter one of the Microsoft, redistributables. -

Bizarre And only on this release? If you roll back it’s ok? Also what version of windows? -
Cakewalk Activation Error (20)
Noel Borthwick replied to Wong Jian Ming's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
That would imply that the issue isn’t related to the program but something environmental. Do you have an antivirus that may have blacklisted the program or something like that? If you rename it back or copy the exe file does the problem return? -

You shouldn't need to do a full uninstall. The first thing to check is look at the version info for cakewalk.exe. It should look like this: Check if it says "this digital signature is ok" If not can try deleting (or renaming) the cakewalk.exe file and reinstall the application and retry. -

We identified the issue and will release an updated web installer tomorrow. -
Can you share a link to the project that crashes?

Cakewalk Activation Error (20)
Noel Borthwick replied to Wong Jian Ming's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Something may have modified the Cakewalk executable which could explain why a reinstall rectified the issue. You should also do a virus scan… -
Mix recall presets definitely support swapping in different effects and instruments as well as their settings. If it's crashing it's likely a regression or some unexpected case.
-
@Hugh Blaney which version of Cakewalk are you running and what Windows OS version do you have. You can upload the dump to any file sharing service, like OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox and send a link to the file.

Cakewalk Activation Error (20)
Noel Borthwick replied to Wong Jian Ming's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
What version of Windows are you using and how did you install Cakewalk? Error code 20 is an error indicating that the digital signature of the application is invalid or could not be authenticated. This can happen if the executable was modified or if the cryptography in Windows is unable to validate the signature. -
Obviously, a crash isn't expected. So, you saved a mix from a project containing a synth, then replaced the synth and then tried to apply the saved mix to the new project? If its crashing thats a bug. I would expect it to apply the mix from the old mix recall setting but ignore the new synth. If you choose to ignore effects in the mix recall settings when applying the preset does it work ok? Please try and reproduce it with the same steps and see if it still crashes. If so please send the dump file.

vc_runtimeminimum_x64.msi missing during CW update
Noel Borthwick replied to jm52's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
It looks like something is messed up with the Windows redist installer state. Uninstalling and reinstalling might be the only solution, or you can contact Microsoft support who may be able to help. Also see this link: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/errore-microsoft-visual-c-2019-x64-minimum-runtime/1299781 -
That’s not accurate. Cakewalk adds that folder by default to the scan path.

What dropout code are you getting in the message when it drops out. That should indicate the cause.

One way that I learned to fix a cakewalk startup crash
Noel Borthwick replied to Gozzie's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
How are your MIDI tracks routed? Are you playing them through a virtual instrument VST? If so the sounds would always be synchronized with audio playback as long as you are hearing audio tracks correctly because they are delay compensated. Make sure that you are not using the Microsoft MIDI synth device. Safe mode may have worked for you since it switched the driver mode to WASAPI (windows audio) -

Cakewalk seems sluggish in ways [Solved]
Noel Borthwick replied to RexRed's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I have the fireface and it takes less than a second to insert a single track. No difference whether the device is on or off though. If you turn off the audio engine does it insert quickly?
