This has come up before. So far, I found just one place, but I seem to recall other discussions. Not sure if there has ever been a formal request.

Since one or two posts were On Topic ("2 AAS sound bank free") maybe the Topic should be change to what people have been discussing and a new one for the AAS banks created? Or is that putting the vehicle before the bull?

[Off Topic] Some of us have no need for a "Smart" phone with an unlimited phone and/or data plan for emergencies while away from a home landline. For some of us, a basic "Non-smart" flip phone with a grandfathered ten cents a minute plan works. [On Topic] That being said, a smart phone (or tablet) that works via wi-fi (no satellite-based phone/data plan) can host apps that can be used with Cakewalk if it is on a PC with wi-fi. Before my tablet died, I used Touchdaw (and some free apps) to communicate and control music software on a PC. It can definitely be helpful for some purposes. As usual, it depends on your personal workflow.

A couple of diagnostic questions: (1) What did you do on your main monitor when the one you show here goes black? (2) What Workspace are you using?

I don't have SONAR Platinum any more. (I just had the demo version and never liked subscription models). But I am curious to know if the Synth Rack Button back then was one of the "widgets" under the control of the Track Control Manager. I don't see it there in Cakewalk by Bandlab, but I do see the Synth Rack Button in the Control Bar's Custom Module--which is affected by Workspaces [that is, we can choose to have different buttons for our different, custom Workspaces]. Not critical to know; I was just wondering, in part because it is relevant to "Missing Feature" diagnosis.

Or, too many resonators? 😉

This brings back memories! Seriously, my first one was free through my health insurance--partially through my premiums, partially through my employer's premiums. When I get to have another one, I hope my old person insurance covers it, partially though my supplemental insurance and partially though my insurance paid for through employee/employer salary deductions over the years.

Sometimes having multiple degrees and certifications qualifies people for being Over Qualified!! It's probably a corollary of The Peter Principal: Some people don't want to hire other people who they think might know more than they do. 😜 Decades ago I learned never to score 100% on a civil service clerical worker test. Best to get at least two wrong on purpose! 😜 😜 😜

Welcome to the Officially Old Person Society. OOPS!!!

Did you turn on the playback metronome in the transport module?

This thread proves that everything, no matter how basic, is subject to controversy and debate. Viva Freedom of Speech!!!!!

I could be wrong, but I thought when Windows 10 came out it was intentionally software as a service. I seem to remember that was one of the major complaints about Windows 10 and one of the reasons why some of us were reluctant to give up XP SP3. At least it was for me, but eventually I had no choice but to abandon XP. (Well, my son, the computer scientist, has long railed against Windows, and I did try Linux, but none of my favorite music software worked under Linux.) While I have given up on software as a non-service (not sure that's the right phrase), as a consumer of music software I would support a campaign to try to persuade Cherry Audio to incorporate offline activation and daily offline updates assuming it is a realistic possibility.

Did you PM the designer of that theme? EDIT: I just checked. If the updated theme doesn't work, maybe you could post a note in that thread?

Sorry to hear it doesn't work for you. I have respected musicians who want an audio computer unconnected to the internet. Clearly, their products do not meet your needs. I have products from other plug-in / soft synth makers. Now I am wondering which others don't have offline activation. Thanks for sensitizing me to this issue.

Just an FYI: CA's Quadra includes a multi out *.dll and *.vst3. Cakewalk's Track Pane Context Menu (Right Click > Insert Instrument > Advanced > Instrument Track Per Output) inserts 5 instrument tracks: (1) Stereo Mix (Output Mixer), (2) Bass, (3) Strings, (4) Poly Synth, (5) Lead Synth. Its just like any multi output soft synth, but in the case of the CA Quadra the outputs are dedicated to the mix and the 4 parts. And, yes, getting a substantial credit for "owning" other synths in the Synth Stack 2 during the end-of-year sale is a very nice musician oriented marketing strategy for musicians on a tight budget with internet-connected audio computers and who don't mind automatic updates on a daily basis (JMO).

While an audiologist might be able to test for hearing loss, have you considered consulting an ENT?

Anyone notice a difference depending on which key is held down or is it just me?

When you look at Views > Meter/Key, does it show a Key Change where you don't want it to change? If so, can you remove it? PS: I just did a test using copy special and paste special with the Meter/Key option selected. The Meter/Key change showed up both on the staff and in the Meter/Key list.

@Jimmy NaNa I have gotten in the habit of using the in-app update [Help menu] with a freshly opened Cakewalk--no project loaded. On my PC it is a super smooth installation. You might want to try that to see if its smooth for you, too. Just a thought.
