All of a sudden when attempting to play this particular project Cakewalk crashes and shuts down.  I've tried reaching out to the link the error message says to reach out to (legacy.help.cakewalk.com) but that returns page cannot be found.

Attached is the .dmp file.

What is causing this?  This has worked fine in the past.  I am running the latest version of Bandlab Cakewalk.

Can't Stop Thinking About You11-live_09242024_142345.dmp

Looking for a .wav of whistle in Brickhouse by the Commodores.  Searching with Google is not returning anything.  I just want the whistle.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ok, so I submitted both the .dmp file and a screen shot of the error message to both Cakewalk Support and to Antares (Auto-Tune) support.  Cakewalk Support said to contact Antares support (which I told them in my original post I had done).  Antares got right back with me and while they stated they do not support Bandlab Cakewalk gave me a few suggestions to try.  I explained to both Cakewalk support and to Antares support that I had been using Auto-Tune Access and Artist in Bandlab Cakewalk for years with no issues prior.  I explained that now when I go back to these original projects I did a few years ago using Auto-Tune Access and (mostly) Artist I am now getting the following error message when I try to open the projects.

Trying the suggestions from Antares did not fix the issue as I am still getting the same pop up error message which I indicated to them.  I just heard back from Antares support and they said that I should reach out to Bandlab Cakewalk support with the error message and the .dmp file (which I had already done) since this error seems to be common among Cakewalk users and not exclusive to their plugin.   Again, they say that Bandlab Cakewalk is not offically supported and as such they will not be able to help me further.

Here are the links they sent me that cover similar crash issues in Bandlab Cakewalk:

My guess here is that one of the recent Bandlab Cakewalk updates things got broke.

I've reached out again to Bandlab Cakewalk support with zero response...

RMB?

Is it possible to combine several MIDI tracks together into one MIDI track?  I tried Bounce to Clip but that didn't do it.

Was your autotune a permanent license or a subscription? Can you use it in a new project?  If you need to edit them before this is resolved, just open in the safe mode. Hold down the shift key, then click to cwp file. Answer yes to all but autotune. Yes I understand. should Be able to open and edit it. Be sure to save under a new file name to preserve the original song file. 

Yes, I have a permanent license for AutoTune Artist.  I did open the project in SAFE mode and said NO to AutoTune.  I was able to work on the project and safe it as a new project.  What's weird is that this is not the only project this is happening with.  All of my older projects where I used AutoTune Artist and showing this message.

I am trying to open a number of projects I did a few years ago and am getting the following error message each time.  Why is this happening?

Seems a lot of people who are still using Cakewalk are being bombarded with re activation notices. I haven't seen one for CbB  for a couple of months since the last update. I have it still installed on 3 different computers. All also have Sonar and therefore have been activated via Backstage Pass, 

I was wondering, is it only people who don't have the Backstage Pass that are experiencing this? 

Sonar has tossed a few activations at me after updates and it's a simple one click deal. So wondering if that also has activated CbB as well? 

What is Backstage Pass?

This is what I’ve noticed. You update and then it needs re activation. 
 I’ve just seen a lot of posts from people complaining about CbB needing activation every few weeks. I think they are also offline. 
Oh well such is the life of using free stuff. 
Im pretty confident that once Sonar is purchased we will see the end of the activation process.  

I'm not offline and all 5 of my computers are showing the RED activation nag screen at least every other time I open Bandlab Cakewalk.  I've tried logging out of Bandlab while Cakewalk is open from within Cakewalk and then logging back in.  So far,  every so many times of opening Cakewalk I get the same red nag screen with a countdown.  At the moment I have 9 days to activate it.  So, if logging out and logging back in is not activating it...how the hell do I activate it???

I have the latest version  of Bandlab Cakewalk on all my computers and Signed In when I installed the latest verstion.  Why is it prompting me to sign in again on all my computers??   I sign in and everything is fine and then a few days later it wants me to sign in again??

a fairly nice low cost one i got recently is the Session Horns from NI, but for free the Bolland Brass Section soundfonts in Sforzando work nicely.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a good Horns stab VST pluggin for a project I am working on.  Any good recommendations?  Free would be great but not a requirement.

Thanks

To get a project to open in Safe mode you should have CbB already open. and then hold Shift while double-clicking the project file in Windows Explorer. If CbB isn't already open, the Shift is intercepted by the application launch process and causes it to 're-personalize'.

The Bitbridge error is going to be due to some 32-bit plugin in the project that needs to be stopped from loading in Safe mode.

Thanks David, that fixed it!

When I hold down the SHIFT key and open the project I don't receive anything that says I am opening in SAFE MODE.  I only get the following message:

I also deleted the two offending pluggins however, the 2 tracks still appeared and there was no message about the deleted pluggins.

However... I was finally able to delete the 2 tracks by opening the project file in SONAR.  SONAR allowed me to delete the tracks and save the project as a new project file.  But, now when I open the newly named and saved project file in Bandlab Cakewalk and close the project I still get this pop up about BitBridge:

From which folder?

Running Cakewalk as Administrator does not let me deleted the two tracks.

Clicking H allows me to unhide the 2 tracks however, when I try to delete them Cakewalk instantly freezes requiring and END TASK to get out of it.

Try running CbB as administrator.  That eliminated the error for me.

Ok.  I will try that.  How do I un-hide the 2 tracks first?

Apparently the reason I couldn't open the project after closing it was because of the following pop up error message.  Once I click OK on the message I can open the project.  However, each time I close the project this pop up message re-appears!

Are you opening directly from Windows explorer? To use Safe Mode you open the CWP file in Windows. You will defiantly see dialog boxes as it proceeds. 

Yes!

I also hid the 2 tracks in question and was able to save the project however, now the project doesn't open at all!

Should there be some indication that I am opening the project in SAFE MODE?  I am holding down the SHIFT key and double clicking on the PROJECT to open it but I don't see any indication that it is opening in SAFE MODE.  I am able to delete to 2 track however, Cakewalk then just continually hour glasses becoming unresponsive and requiring me again to END TASK to get out of it.

Thanks for all the replies.  I am not at my main project computer at this time and won't be for a few days.  I will try the suggestions then and let you know of the progress.

Thanks

Now I am trying to delete the 2 tracks with the 32bit plugin.  However, each time I try to delete them Cakewalk just hour glasses and freezes requiring and End Task to get out of it.  I've tried this now multiple times.  I get the following error in Event Viewer.

Yeah... I checked.  It is not listed.  I deleted the particular folders and then edited the registry to remove it completely.

Upon further investigation, I found both P5antom and Groove Player under \Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi\.  How do i get rid of this?
