  1. I have (pl see video) but   I am facing some problems in getting  the  5.1 signal inputs  recognized   and  want the 5.1 meters all  appear together for better visualization. Sorround bridge (which pairs the surround channels) is not  providing this feature. It appears  Cakewalk can provide since their Sorround compressors does the 5.1 metering  all  under one  screen. I am in touch   with folks at Cakewalk by Bandlab who are trying to help me.

  2. Hi Greetings Development  Cakewalk Team and   my fellow  Cakewalk users,

    I hope everyone is safe and healthy.

    I have been using cakewalk for the last 10 years. I am glad that efforts are made  to continuously improve it.

    While it is appreciated that new features would  be added, please also  pay attention to cakewalk's instability and hanging issues. I experienced the following so far:-

    1.  When I want to freeze a  single track out of a group of tracks assigned to a synth instrument, it freezes all the tracks assigned to that synth. Allow individual track freeze

    2.  When opening the ASIO4all driver panel through cakewalk and make some  changes , the audio engine stops and re starts but play keeps  playing. You can't stop it and have to exit and re start cakewalk

    I think it is important to address  ASIO4all issue in a holistic  sense so that you may try your best to test many what-if scenarios and resolve  them.  These issues have given me enough headaches such as input/outputs not working  well or erratic, audio dropouts. Better help file information is required with all suggested corrective actions rather than stating "unknown error with a code"

    Alternatively , provide your own ASIO driver with  good features possible. Some of the other products do.

    3.  Wave forms are  lost at times  when a clip in a track lane  is bounced or converted Stereo/mono.  Clearing picture cache folder did not help. This is actually a disaster for a professional category DAW.I experienced yesterday. I  am  re-doing all the automation  edits from my previous backup.

    4. Trying to experiment with plug-ins  on a  playing  track makes cakewalk to crash. This is  same  as situation with ASIOALL driver ( trying to change its settings while playin progress). Either you disallow such change in playing mode or make  cakewalk stable handle this situation.

    5. I also  strongly suggest test scenarios for cakewalk stability  when  building/editing audio tracks for a  imported video file.  For example, the  scrubbing  of tracks do not  give  a smooth  and well synchronized motion   on the  video.  Therefore, it is very difficult to put marker points  correctly.  Just to make sure the cause  is not limitation of  my  DELL PC  with 3.20 GHz processor, 32 GB  RAM , it works quite well  with my  video  editors.

    6. Please also consider adding your own mastering stock plug-ins for stereo/ surround  up mix and downmix for 5.1/ 7.1, Dolby ATMOS  etc. It is very essential for  producing audios associated with movies. Because some  third party sorround mastering plugins do not work in Cakewalk but no problem with pro tools, Logicpro , Cubase which my friends use.

    I will also  continue to give feedback  so that we can  get these issues resolved and enjoy using cakewalk by Bandlab with good satisfaction.

    Thanks

    Ali
