Please give us some tricks you use too. Thanks

- I wait already for 25 years routing approach in Cakewalk to be solved (from 1997). I know, first problem is Windows. There is already a disturbing rule to loose and mix almost any type of Input in MIDI or VSTi Trascks. If you save a project, close the windows and reopen, the chance to find the saved routing ok are 90%. IF you will insert a Keyboard, there is 100% chances to find 50% of all your MIDI In routing damaged, mixed up or simple changed in IN= OMNI. I still wait for Cakewalk a rock solid routing code, while this is in some aspects better then Cuabse, it became a nice and serious DAW. - I spend on a particular complex project around 1h (or even more) to check each internal VSTi/MIDI routing: On each track I write down in the Description of each track. Sometime it is easy to read and understand what I've made and write there, sometimes is difficult to follow and check a nest of 100 internal track routing and interconnections. Now it became too time consuming all this cheeking and rerouting processes. - Why I still work with Cakewalk? As an old musician, I know all major DAWs, and the price or money is not a criteria for me: Ableton, Acon Acoustica, Frutiy, Logic, Magix Samplitude, Sequoia, Reaper, Reason, Sibelius, Cubase, Studio One, Waveform Tracktion The reason is the nonlinear nondestructive MIDI approach. The only similar MIDI approach have Studio Oneand Waveform Tracktion, but they are young and will never invest in what cakewalk have, a huge MIDI experience, MIDI plugins for example. - A few tricks which help me to solve external MIDI IN Routing (but not to solve the internal routing dis-function) -it is a pity and a shame to try this kind of complicate workaround in 2022 in a legend DAW like Cakewalk !: disable all MIDI IN and Out ports of Cakewalk create via Loop MIDI as many virtual MIDI ports I needed (and some even more for reserve) Install Bidule or PizMidi and connect VST/VSTi Cakewlk Track to the Hardware or virtual MIDI cable any hardware MIDI External Devices will be manual connected to a Virtual MIDI port via the Connection Center app. I wait for internal VSTi/MIDI Routing tricks from all of you till the Cakewalk team will completely rewrite the routing code. Thanks in advance.

In 6 minutes we can build 2 songs, afterwards to win Eurovision with one of them . In order to do this, I uploaded 20 minutes life performance to study it online... My workflow stooped here. If an basic import export MIDI will be available, let's say we can live spiting the song in 4. On another hand this limitation will be solved in time, I am sure. What I don't understand really is this: what professional workflow can anybody follow on the online platform? I am new here, maybe that's why I perceive the online version more as a toy, because once you are there, your song is lost forever in term of really producing it. Of course, the collaborative work idea is great.

I understand that, and is quite normal the two platform to be different, but I am sure that online revision is a MIDI + Sounds. I am sure that a basic minimal MIDI export can be set without big efforts, at least for 16 tracks.

Nice marriage with Cakewalk .Still... in a half an hour I was not able to understand how can I download the online project back to Cakewalk, in a usable MIDI form. The downloaded steam can be interesting as an option, anyhow not for me, but from a professional point of view I need my work to be accessible in a nondestructive manner: MIDI. How do I get my online project in a MIDI form? (I don't dare to ask now cackewalk.cwp/wrk file, but this will be the real tool for professional use). The round-trip to start from Cakewalk (with a quite complex project) to import it online, work on it on the road, then finalizing it again in Cakewalk. Mp3 or even wave conversion can be interesting, but for a composer this is the last thing he is interested of.
