Realtek ASIO has bugs that are known to cause symptoms like what you saw. I would uninstall that driver.

Thanks for your feedback. In friendly names mode you can now also name the left, right and stereo components independently for completely control over the names.

Its an old bug. The same thing happens in SONAR. We'll look into improving it.

Bus waveform preview is completely different from the clip waveforms so it doesn't show clip outlines there. Its not a bug but we can consider doing it for consistency in the future.

@Brian Lawler I verified that it is related to a fix I made in 06. There were cases where some windows messages were being skipped by certain UI controls that could cause unexpected UI behavior in some plugins. The spin control used for changing tempos was one of them that had the bug. >>Also- the data does not send on mouse up for me- I have to click somewhere outside the tempo window (Win Pro 21H1) That part is expected, only when you press enter or click away from the control is the new value committed. It's normal behavior for a spin control.

Which version were you using before you updated? The slider always send data at the end (on mouse up) but there was a a bug fix for something else in the UI that may have caused an unwanted plugin interaction.

This may seem unrelated but what audio interface are you using and what is the driver mode set to?

Honestly, that is subjective depending on whether you prefer seeing stereo or mono first. I like the bold text but currently it isn’t easy to do. When we switch to the new menuing system in the future we can consider it.

We have discovered that there is a serious bug in the latest Microsoft VCRedist installer. The Cakewalk installer includes this to install various files that are required by the application. The latest iteration of this file has a bug where if you run it for the first time it works. However if you run it a second time it removes several files from the system32 folder that are used by our application and many others. The most typical symptom would be that our installer fails to register CW130Auto.dll (error code 3) and after that the application will fail to launch. Fortunately we have not shipped a version of CbB that uses this VCRedist yet. However if you install the latest redistributables manually from the Microsoft website you will most likely run into this issue so please be aware of it. Here is a thread where several people have reported the issue. Please upvote the post if you have a Microsoft account so that they escalate the issue. If you have the problem you can typically fix it by running the vcredist manually a second time.

Oh wow, is that something you installed recently? Most likely it installed something that gets enumerated on startup of CbB and crashes. So many things that can screw up a machine!

Please follow this thread. If its crashing on startup most likely your VC redists are somehow out of date.

I’ve made a few tweaks to the port naming logic for the next update. When friendly names are used it will no longer show the generated prefixes and leave it upto the user to name them appropriately. The I/O channels are now only shown in the menu and not in the actual port name field to make the name even more compact. (it will be shown in the tooltip) The channel display in menus now separates the channel from the port name text from the driver more clearly by using columns You can choose to display the I/O channel information as a prefix or suffix to the port names showin in the menu. Hopefully these changes should make it even more useful. Regarding arbitrary ordering of ports, while its technically possible it would be quite complicated since we already have abstraction for ports because you can already choose to disable channels that are not in use. Adding reordering on top of that would make my head explode

@Steve_Karl were you running the latest Cakewalk release for 2021-06? BandLab assistant will likely be deprecated soon so you will ultimately need to be able to login through Cakewalk. How were you attempting to log in - did you use the Google auth or Facecebook sign in option or just the BandLab sign in credentials? If it worked in BandLab assistant as long as you are using the same kind of sign in the same credentials should work. If this is not working send me a PM and we can try and work through why its failing for you.

Amusing article. https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/how-to-bypass-windows-11-limits-and-install-on-almost-any-old-pc/

What was the issue? You should not need to login to assistant. It should be working in Cakewalk directly.

It seems like you might be overcomplicating the setup. Why not just use a full range PA system and mixdown all the backing tracks to stereo so that you can play with that. This is what most people do in this scenario.

It is primarily for new users and users who are having other install problems. If you don't have Cakewalk already installed there is no way to get the latest version.

It sounds like some sort of bug or an error is happening that is not being detected in the WASAPI code. Its hard to say without troubleshooting it. Does it happen even in projects without plugins? i.e. what if you are just trying to record something from your USB mic or playback a few simple audio tracks. Also try and isolate whether this is related to playback or recording or both. i.e. eliminate your mic from the equation by deselecting in it preferences. Its possible that there is some error occuring while both audio devices are in use (the mic and the onboard audio device) that we’re not properly handing. If you can try and narrow down the conditions when it occurs it will be helpful since it may be a bug with our WASAPI implementation. I don’t think buying a new computer will help you here so don’t bother returning it.

The only activation required would be for offline activation. Online activation is already native to cbb

Some work is still pending with the handling of the add ons.

Yes but that only affects that track or bus. Newly created tracks shouldn't be affected

This is a peer to peer forum. If you don't answer the questions that were asked in this thread nobody can give you further support. The issue is most likely related to some external interaction. What driver mode are you using and what audio interface do you have? Post screenshots of the audio configuration in preferences. In the FAQ there is information about how to contact support and get further assistance. There is also an online form to contact support and submit a ticket.

Odd that even if you add a new track the vol gets reset. Are you using a control surface? Can you post a video of what you are doing?

@James Meyerhoffer @Leo Chen if the app starts and immediately exits the most likely cause is that your Microsoft VC redistributables are not up to date. Follow the instructions in this thread to make sure you update them and then retry. Let me know how it goes. The latest redistributables are here.
