I really do not like the "new" look.... I'm kind of surprised they went with the some what Ableton look. I was kind of hoping for the Reaper themes set up, but oh well.

Wayback Machine shows 8.3.1/2009... the download link doesn't work though....bummer. 😟

sjoens: I must of hit a short cut key, or something..... I don't know. It is nice to know about.

In the Track Inspector, left click (NOT RIGHT CLICK) on the track name at the bottom of the inspector view and a menu will come up.... at the bottom of this menu it says "Lock the current track or bus", unselect it. Mine was selected for a track and it was locked. Like Steve_B said, who new?

Solved: somehow the "Lock Current Track Or Bus" got turned on in the inspector view..... Great!!!

UPDATE: Rolled back to previous version, no change.... reinstalled latest version, no change. I opened some other projects to check and the tracks I opened worked..... hmmmmm....... I looked at everything I could possibly imagine, and I can't figure out why it is locked on a specific track in the inspector view, no matter which track I select. Strange.

I am having this same problem..... has there been any word from Cakewalk about this, or there a fix for it? It is very annoying and hinders the workflow.

Great!!! Thank you for your assistance.... that worked..... shame on me for not reading the manual a little closer, lol Thank you, Bristol!

I've tried screen sets, mix recall, but I can't seem to get them to work with this problem. I keep having the problem of opening a project, clicking over to Console View, or Piano View, and they seem to always open up a third of the way, or three quarters of the way, or even just barely visible.... sooooo I stretch them to full size (fully opened) and continue working, then if I double click on a midi track to open the piano roll view, it again only opens part way, or two thirds the way , or even barely open. When I open a project to start working, again, all the views (except the main view, of course) are back to everything but full view. Is there any switch, or setting to make all views always open full view? I would really like that feature. I'm probably doing something wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Step record does do this.... thanks Scook!

I apologize.... around 3:30

Does anyone know if Cakewalk does midi step input like Guy Michelmore does on his video's in Cubase? I think that feature could be very useful. Thank you

Thanks for your reply Alan!

Cool! I had a friend that had a touch screen monitor and Sonar X3 worked great with it, I was just wondering about the newer Bandlab versions. Thanks for your help!

https://youtu.be/_GkYO3L-7Ks my guess is that it should still be set to use a touch screen monitor.

I remember the older versions were, I believe up to platinum, but not sure. Is anyone using a touch screen with the Bandlab versions. My control surface is starting to reach its end and pseudo wannabe version of Slate Raven would be cool. Touch screen monitors are pretty reasonable right now, so I thought I would ask here. Thanks for your help. Michael

Yep.... that was it! Thank You!!!!

Ok... nice, I will check that in the morning... thank you!

Hmmmmm.... crazy..... I 'll check a little more. Thank you.

This is simply to let everyone know that the drivers that came with my new Nektar GXP88 Keyboard (not the standard driver for using the keyboard, but the drivers that control the control surface features on the keyboard, transport, faders, etc) is causing massive midi problems in Cakewalk. I also verified this in Sonar Platinum. Faders would start moving on their own, midi devices would start acting screwy, disappearing, etc. I don't use the control surface features, so I uninstalled the Nektar Cakewalk Drivers and everything started functioning properly again. If you have a Nektar device and your having midi issues, this might be your problem as well.

Would someone possibly be able to verify this.... every time I shortcut "k" to mute a audio clip, it deletes it and the clip is gone, not hidden.

I have had this device for over a year and no troubles, except I have stayed on this driver - MOTU M-Series Installer v4.0.83874 (Release Date 2020-01-23).... for me, drivers newer then this one gave me problems. Totally agree with "delete" old drivers, delete "AUD.ini file and start fresh, shut off Windows sounds, turn off desktop display pics, I just have a black background....basically, turn off all the crap that you don't need, including the hdmi/monitor audio sound drivers... I believe there is a reg fix floating around here somewhere, that's what I used to turn it off. I do have a windows driver for this that came out the same time the new Mac driver came out (Nov 17 2020) I believe, but for some reason they pulled it.... I have tried this newer driver and had no problems with it, but I choose to stay on the older driver because it works. Don't know why they would pull the new driver. This is a smokin hot interface with stunning sound and features..... don't give up on it, you'll get it going. Hope this helps.

Once in a while I run into what I call a "dead track"..... the audio is there, or the midi data is there, but it either won't play back, or won't allow mute, solo, etc, or you cannot fade or any automation.... so what I do is create a new audio/midi track, then drag the wave, or midi data to the new track and it all works again. Might not be your problem, but it might be. Hope this helps.
