Prefect!  That fixed it.  Thank you!!!

That's great! However, how do I fix this?

by the way... this is happening on all 3 of my computers since the update.

I discovered yesterday that with the most recent Cakewalk update that when clicking on the Pro-Channel folder icon in Console view the ProChannel Presets folder no longer opens which it used to, but rather the Cakewalk Core folder opens instead.

Cakewalk Version 2021.01 (Build 098, 64bit)
Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.804)

Example:

Click on ProChannel presets folder icon in Console View:

Opens the Cakewalk Core folder:

Instead of opening the ProChannel Presets folder which is what it used to do prior to the latest update:

When I launched BandLab Cakewalk today I got this message for the first time ever.

I went to HELP and REFRESH ACTIVATION and after entering the correct credentials I get the following:

1.  Why am I getting the first activation message.  Never received that before.

2.  What's with the Sign-In Error?  

Sure... read that already.  The issue I stated is that the marker does indeed move however, it stops at the right side of the window even though the track plays through to the end.

I clicked something I wasn't supposed to and hopefully am explaining this well.  But now when I click PLAY the track/transport/cursor/market or whatever it is called moves along the track but stops at the end of the window.  The track keeps playing but there is no longer any movement.

How do I fix this?

The output of your midi track needs to be set to whatever synth you want it to trigger. 

ah.... got it!  That works.  Thanks.

If you have the midi out of  your Roland RD1000 connected to the midi in of your audio interface the game is done.

Put  an istance of SI - Piano on your Track view. Play your Roland keyboard and the game is done.

Obviously game is not done or I would be hearing the instrument.

I have 5 tutorials that cover everything to do with midi. 

Make sure you install the midi driver from Roland, don't use a generic windows driver.

Make sure the Roland is checked under Preferences/ midi/ devices- Inputs

On the midi track set the INPUT-  make sure the Roland is the input device and choose OMNI

The OUTPUT of the MIDI track needs to be set to the SI Piano and input echo on so you can hear it.

The Si Piano OUTPUT need to be set to your master bus.

Your Master Bus OUTPUT needs to be set to your audio interface.  

You can test the SI piano is outputting sound using the GUI interface.

 

 

There is no MIDI driver for the Roland RD1000.  

I have my Roland RD1000 88 key digital MIDI piano connected to my Digital Audio Interface with MIDI cables (MIDI Out of keyboard to MIDI In of interface, MIDI In of keyboard to MIDI Out of interface).   I insert a new MIDI track in Cakewalk and when I hit RECORD and play the Roland I can see that MIDI data is being captured and recorded by Cakewalk.  I want the captured MIDI data to trigger the SI-Piano instrument VST I have loaded in Cakewalk but I get not sound.  I am assuming that I need to route the captured MIDI track to another track with the SI-Piano which I've tried to do several times and still no sound.

How do I get the MIDI data transmitted from my Roland RD1000 to trigger the SI-Piano VST and record it in Cakewalk?  This is driving me nuts!

Thanks

The code indicates a disk buffer problem not an audio driver buffer problem.

 

Try 512.

What does a disk buffer problem mean and how does one fix this?  And, why would this all be happening suddenly?

On a side note, it could be a plugin doing this.  Try without any plugins enabled (illuminate the “FX” on the Mix Module)

Also, you don't mention the type of drive your Audio data is on (Spindle 5600 RPM / 7200 RPM / SSD)

I have no idea what this means?

What is "illuminate FX on the Mix Module"?

When you say "what type of drive my audio data is on, are you referring to the hard drive?  If so, it is a Western Digital WD6003FZBX-00K5WB0 6TB internal HDD 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

All of a sudden in one project I am working on when it gets to just about the end of the song Cakewalk stops with the following message:

I looked up what message 5 is and it says either the disc is fragmented (which it is not as I just defragged prior to working on this project) or to increase the buffer size in Audio / Sync and Caching / Playback I/O Buffer Size (KB).  The I/O buffer size is set to 256 I assume by default.  I increased it to 356 but the same thing happens!  What size should the be?  Why is this suddenly happening as it has not prior at all while working on the project?

Thanks

You can locate the presets folder on your backup and copy it over to the current folder.

That worked!  Thanks

correct

Yes

Since having to rebuild my computer and re-install Bandlab Cakewalk a number of the built in FXs no longer show a list of presets.  For example:

Sonitus Compressor only shows the following:

However, on my backup machine with Bandlab Cakewalk installed, Sonitus Compressor shows the following presets:

Another example is Sonitus EQ only shows the following presets.  However there is a whole list of presets in the same FX on my backup machine:

How do I fix this?

Thanks

I think I discovered the problem.  I believe it has something to do with the automation on one track.  When I remove the automation the issue goes away.

Here is a .dmp file from the crash.  I don't know how to read it.  I did open it up in a debug viewer but don't know what I am looking at.  The 8th line down in the attached image is bolded.  I assume that is the issue?

If all your plugins are showing up, disable the automatic scan-on-startup. There's no need for it until you next install a new VST.

What's probably happening is that one of your plugins isn't initializing during the scan, and may be what's raising the access violation. There is a debugging feature in the scanner that can help you zero in on which plugin is having the problem.

Press "P" to open the Preferences window and scroll down to VST Settings. Under "Scan Options", select "Manual Scan" from the dropdown list. That'll prevent the automatic scan. Check the box labeled "Generate Scan Log". Click the "Reset" button, then click "Scan".

After the scan completes, the debug log will be in %appdata%\cakewalk\logs. You can open it in Notepad. Feel free to post its contents here if you can't make sense of it.

 

Ok, I followed your suggestion.  I've included the VstScan.log here.  There were a number of pop up windows about missing things when I ran RESET.  I wrote them all down and believe I fixed the issue.  However, after running a VST scan again and then opening my project it still crashes with the following.

I have a deadline that I need to finish this project today.  Any more help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

VstScan.log

Thanks both MBGantt and bitflipper.  I will try your suggestions.

Now Cakewalk is crashing with the following:

Since having to rebuild the OS and re-install all applications on my computer last week, Cakewalk is now taking up to 5 minutes and sometimes longer to open a project.  It also sits just as long showing the following:

VST Scan

Searching for plugins....

 Any ideas as to why it is so slow and how to speed it back up?

thanks
