    In the 32.1 GB total are you including both the downloaded installation files (01_ * through 05_*) and all the files in the Sonar X1 folder on the desktop? Also, I don't see the various update/patches. I am not sure if they came after your 2012 download and unpacking. Steve Addendum: It looks like I originally updated to SONAR X1 in 2011, and then in March 2014 I downloaded them all (included the patches) probably after getting a Win 10 PC (with an update to SONAR X3 later that year). I seem to recall I might have had 8.5, X1, and X3 on the computer at one time.

    Thanks for the background about 32bit/64bit and vst/dx and for the tip for using CCs with z3ta+ FX! I will try that!!! Steve

    I am just beginning to get up to speed with the new Cakewalk, but was pleased to learn this morning that z3ta+ FX (pre-z3ta+ 2) still works--to a degree. For my initial tests, I added the plug-in to two other synth plug-ins ("simple instruments" insertion), one being TTS-1. However, I am stumped on how to pass midi CCs from my keyboard to the z3ta+ FX plug-in to control the FX parameters. Not ready to conclude it can't be done, yet. Anyhow, I offer this as an example of an old plug-in working in the new Cakewalk. (FWIW, I am attempting to come close to some real-time performance techniques I used with my Roland M-GS64 and the TTS-1 plus z3ta+ FX is coming very close--if I could just tweak the FX parameters in real-time with CCs. ) Steve

    If it is a repeating [Insert] key, I have had "stuck key syndrome" from low battery voltage either on a keyboard or a mouse (I forget which). Yeah--it's a long shot, but worth checking just in case. Steve

    Thanks for mentioning the Custom module. I have been wondering if there was a way to put a personalized list of preferred tasks in a single collapsed Control Bar module. After seeing your post, I found it in the Reference Guide: "The Custom module lets you assign various Cakewalk commands and actions to buttons. You can assign up to 9 buttons depending on the module size: small shows 3 buttons, medium shows 6 buttons, and large shows all 9 buttons." [Version 25.05.00, p. 607 of 2188] Steve

    I used to get many *.dll [dynamic link library files] found with the cakewalk plug-in manager that had nothing to do with audio vsts (instruments, fx, etc.). I just assumed they were *.dlls that were used by various other programs. IIRC I either excluded them permanently one-by-one or I put bona fide vsts in specific folders for Cakewalk to find.

    Not sure how it functions with bona fide OSX *.midi files, but on my computer Cakewalk by BandLab was successfully able to open files with both the smf extension and the midi extension using two specific methods. Is there a website where I can download OSX midi files? I didn't find one the other day. Maybe the good folks at BandLab can add an option so you can open *.midi files and I can open *.smf files by dragging them to the desktop and by using the file browser?

    Interesting: The standard *.mid file I renamed as *.midi (not OSX midi file) seems to open (1) by clicking on the file directly and (2) by reopening it from the start page (recently opened files), but not (3) by dragging it to the Cakewalk desktop or (4) by searching using the All Cakewalk File Browser. Because I changed the association, Windows knows to open it with Cakewalk, but as you pointed out other ways of opening files don't presently work. I just tested this with an old *.smf file -- the default extension for an old midi program. It opens using methods (1) and (2) but not (3) and (4). Note sure it helps, but I figured as long as I explored this (and seem to have replicated your issue), I thought I'd share it. Steve

    This sounds like you want to use Cakewalk to record audio, not MIDI data. BUT--maybe you want to (1) play the Maschine, (2) send MIDI data from the Maschine into your computer, (3) record the MIDI data in Cakewalk [not sounds, but data], and (4) have Cakewalk playback the MIDI data to the Maschine. Maybe others can make suggestions if you specify which you are trying to do. Steve

    I was going to ask the connection (Kinks -> Smiths), but decided to look up the lyrics to try to figure it out: "I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does" Seems to be one connection ("But deep inside I'm only human"). Also, its a connection to the prior tune (Smith -> Smiths). Double kudos!!

    LOL! Back to Will Smith, MIB: "We're your first, last and only line of defense Against the worst scum of the universe So don't fear us, cheer us If you ever get near us, don't jeer us, we're fearless" The Kinks, Scum of the Earth (from Preservation Acts II & III): Sung by flash, spivs and floosies. "They call me the scum of the earth. They say I'm the scab of the nation. But deep inside I'm only human. Just an ordinary man. With ordinary plans."

    Phooey. I was about to post Todd Rungren's "A Dream Goes on Forever" as connected to Rushen's lyrics "Those were the times we had Sharing a joy that we thought would last Memories of love and affection Never really was just like a dream"

    I had this problem the day after I updated (official update, not early update or hotfix). Let me find my notes. Briefly, I checked Task Manager and found I had some instances of CW and UI editor as processes. I killed them and then I was allowed to boot CW--from my desktop link, from BA, from the UI Editor, and from the Program Files. For me it was as simple as deleting the processes that Windows still had listed, even though as I recall they were at 0.0 (inactive) and neither the Theme Editor or BA was actually running. Not sure if this is the same problem, but thought I'd mention it just in case it is similar.

    Thanks for pointing this out; I have always used the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager (Utilities drop-down menu) to set my vst scan folder paths--no "Sandbox" option there. Not sure it matters for me because it was checked [evidently by default], but its nice to know its there in Preferences. Steve

    Thanks for the tips. I don't have Pro Tools and to be honest I never noticed the aaxplugins before the issue was raised here. Evidently, on my current PC the following plugins gave me some *.aaxplugin files: Melodyne, SPAN (Voxengo), RaptureSession_64, Ozone8Elements, and a while bunch from NI (including Komplete Kontrol)--less than 2 dozen. It looks like I have less than 10 vst plugins (not aaxplugins) in a Steinberg folder (counting all the Melda plugins as one, since they are all in the Melda subfolder. Actually, I don't recall seeing them in CWxBL; will check to see if I added the path. I previously simplified my plugins ( i.e., reduced the number of folders to search). So, thanks for that reminder!
  24. User 905133
    Thanks for the heads-up. I will double check to see what was in the package.
  25. User 905133
    BTW, in one Avid folder, 5 of the 9 aaxplugins were put there automatically by NI on 6-9-2019 when I opted to download and install a new basic/free set of tools rather than update versions I hadn't updated in like 3 or 4 (or more) years.
