Chaps

 Would it be possible for you to upload the files here so we could take a look at them? Both the cwp. and mid. files?

The MIDI format 1 - format 0 will put everything on one track.

I don't know if it's  a way you should be doing that, but you can do all that with just the smart tool. Right-click and drag with the smart tool to select the notes you want to move, and then hover the cursor over one of the notes to get the icon with the 4 arrows. When you see that icon click and drag the notes to where you want.

Very nice arrangement.

Excellent job on the articulation and phrasing. Harder than it looks. 🙂

Funk will never die! Kudos to people like you who are keeping it alive.

What I heard sounded great. The song would only play a couple of seconds for me before it stopped and I had to keep hitting the play button to continue. Probably a buffering problem on my end. I've been using MIDI to write and arrange my songs for years and I'm always happy to listen to people who do the same, but so much better than I  ever could.

I finally upgraded to Windows 64 bit from Windows 7 (it was free) and now I'm frustrated by my old computer's limitations, and my inability to work competently with those limitations. I'm freezing and bouncing tracks so much that it's hard to keep track of what is going on. I've been working on this song for weeks and no closer to finishing it than when I started. Hopefully, I will be able to build a new computer this year and I'm going to scrap everything and start from scratch.  The guitar is me through a Digitech RP350. The melody is doubled with TH3 and a couple of synth patches. All other parts are various virtual synths that came with Sonar, playing parts I wrote out using the Hybrid Staff.

Are your 32 bit plugins locating in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins folder? The 32 bit plugins should go in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory.

Have you checked your Windows sound settings to make sure the audio is being output to the correct device? An easy way to do this is to right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select Open Sound Settings.
