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

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? Can't Help Falling In Love_01112021_134133.dmp

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

huh?

Perfect! Thanks so much. I found what I was looking for.

A while back I asked a question about recommendations for EQing a bass track. Someone stated that I should start with the ProChannel. Someone else chimed in with a link to ProChannel Presets that no longer come with Cakewalk which I downloaded and installed to Cakewalk. I can no longer find that post with the link to the extra ProChannel presets. Does anyone have these? Thanks

Ok, nevermind..I fixed the issue by installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Device driver.

I'm not sure where you are getting this. I explained clearly in my post that I am using a Digital Audio Interface. I am using a Presonus Audiobox USB96 with all of my DAWs. As also clearly stated, the issue I am experiencing and showed above just started happening after I needed to flatten and re-setup my computer due to a virus. After, re-installing Bandlab Cakewalk after the OS rebuild, this message started popping up whenever I open and try to use Cakewalk even though Cakewalk is configured to use the Presonus Audiobox USB96....not the onboard High Definition Audio Device.

Is it possible to assign the tempo to a fader so that I can control a ritardando at the end of my tune?

Still not sure what you are referring to. The issue is with the High Definition Audio Device which is my internal computer sound card. Again, I did not have to do this before I had to re-install the OS and BLC. So, other than the computer speakers plugged into the sound card there are no other cables. Also don't know what port you would be referring to. So, I'm confused.

Not clear which cables you are referring to or what port as well? However, I just confirmed that if I disable the High Definition Audio Device in Device Manager the issue goes away. But what a drag to have to disable it each time I work on a project and then re-enable it after in order to hear my computer audio. I never have had to do that before.

And the maddening thing besides it constantly popping up every minute or 2 is that I can't do anything with Cakewalk controls until I click either YES or NO for it to go away.

The default audio device is the sound card and has been the sound card all along. I did not have this problem prior to having to flatten and re-install the OS and all applications due to a virus. With that said, this same thing happens even if I specifically select my DAI instead.

If you are asking do I get audio from the internal sound card from other files the answer is yes. Clicking on YES does nothing other than make the pop up window go away. Clicking on NO has the same response.

No HDMI cable to the monitor.
