Okay, so I finally figured it out.
It turns out I had a mackie control surface set up that actually was sending MIDI information out the port constantly. Once I deleted the device, it started playing normally again and the flashing on the MIDI Out LED on my interface stopped.
This is good to know in case other people have this issue in the future I guess.

Hi,
Thanks for taking time to look at this. I'm having trouble with Cakewalk's MIDI out. My interface's OUT LED indicator is flashing extremely fast, and when I connect the MIDI cable from my OUT to my device's IN, it's causing my Kurzweil K1200 to freeze and I can't use it.
Pressing Keys will indicate Key-ons to the K1200's MIDI LED indicator (which doesn't flash constantly either, or if it does I can't see it). Pressing Keys does not result in any sound though.
I confirmed that other MIDI sequencers such as REAPER does not have this issue.
When I loop back the MIDI cable into the interface, and shut off MIDI input from that device in Cakewalk, and use Bidule to MIDI Monitor, I get note-on's and note-offs, but it doesn't show me exactly what's causing the MIDI Out to flash so quickly.
I should stress, this is not an interface issue, or a cable issue, this seems to be something that changed in Cakewalk's handling of MIDI Devices. It does not happen in other MIDI Sequencers.
I have a 60fps video if you would like to see it
(I apologize for my messy desk lol)Thank you in advance!

So it seems with some playing that yes it does seem to happen when you're drawing outside the track's lane, so it's an easy work-around.
That doesn't change the fact that it never used to have this behaviour, though. If anything, if you draw outside the lane, it should just maximize and not glitch out.

Hey all, loving the continuous development of cakewalk!
I used to be able to use the sinewave pencil tool on automation lanes but it seems to only be drawing a sine for a tiny while, then it changes to the "Random" style regardless of the tool I use. Anyone know if this is a known issue or being corrected?
I've attached a video. (This is the absolute latest version btw, 2019.07 build 79. It looks like it's been doing this since at least the 2019.07 update, but I haven't composed in a while and wanted to do a panbrello. Will have to improvise with other options for now)
Big automation bug list I've been meaning to post
in Feedback Loop

Hi all, bear with me as this will be a long post. I've finally decided that it was worth taking a lot of time putting this list together.
I have not had a lot of good experiences posting stuff like this, most of the time I get responses like "you're using it wrong" or somehow the issue is "my fault" and that's not the experience I'm hoping to get here.
I've been using Cakewalk since the late 1990s. When it came back and Bandlab revived it, I was stoked. But I should get to my point. My biggest hindering with Cakewalk nowadays is that the automation system is just completely broken. I haven't been keeping up in this forum so I apologize if I am posting things that are known issues, but I'm really hoping to see a future upgrade that fixes these things specifically:
I have done many livestreams on YouTube about stuff like this breaking so I will try not to bore you by looking for the issues in those youtube videos, I am also working two jobs so it might be very hard for me to go looking specifically for those times, these are just the issues I've remembered. Some of them may have been fixed already.
Thank you for letting me rant, I needed to explain these issues, and if there are any specific points you need my help to try and reproduce, I have no problems taking videos. And maybe soon I can live stream to my YouTube audience and not have them listening to me complain about how the interface isn't working properly :)
Then all I'll have to complain about is to iLok how if I have OBS open for a long period of time, it causes Cakewalk to literally take 10 minutes to load iLok VSTs like the Slate Plugins or something similar.
