In the top-right corner of the GUI window is a mapping pin. Click that.

With a MID file there are autorun SysEx messages. Don't suppose they do run with a project file. There is a SysEx viewer if I remember correctly. It seems if you remove all non-note data that it doesn't crash. Delete one at a time to see when it stops crashing. 😟

Save under a temp name and delete all events except notes. If that works, do the other events type by type. Easy enough if you select only one type at a time in the View menu. Depending on what happens, you can then look for the specific one which is the problem. A pain, I know.

Compare the Gain and Fader levels of source track and destination track. Look in the Event Lists, maybe the source had a volume inserted with the loop, which isn't coped to the destination.

Yes, Event View is Event List. You need everything that is in the Event List. All of it. Except for NRPN events. So, click on View, make sure NRPN is ticked so that you see them if they are in the list. Ticked means, yes I want to see them, unticked means, no, don't show them, I am not interested in them at the moment. If there are any NRPN events delete them. Delete nothing else. You can even untick everything else, so that you only see NRPN events. Makes them easier to find. When finished, tick everything again, for next time you look.

Save vs Save as is not Cakewalk. It is computers. Every computer program in the world uses Save to save, and Save as to save under a new name. 😀

The whole point of Save as is to change the name. You just use Save.

See here. You can't rename, the file formats are not the same.

Just use Import in the articulation map editor.

Track 1 looks stereo. Track Melody 1, can't see any waveform. Presume you are recording through an audio interface. A microphone is mono. Set the track you are recording on to mono. See the highlighted button just to the right of Master. It currently needs a click to make it Mono. The vocals will be recorded mono, dead-centered.

For what it is worth, I get that as well.

Switch Snap off.

The pane with the master bus is just being opened (dragged to the left.) Just above the double-down-arrows is another edge you can click and drag to the left. The audio output fader is there. (You move the Master bus faders left and right by clicking and dragging on that thin strip. It moves the pane left and right. Open and closed. So the faders move left and right. Because the pane moves. 😀)

Check the faders of the audio output in Console. (It is on a panel just to the right of the Master faders. The way you can move the Master faders left and right, well next to it is another panel.) Try a different sample. Check your sound system.

Does this video help?

Look in the automation lane of the instrument to see what can be automated. The button with the zig-zag line. Check the ACT Learn button. The aL

If you drag an audio sample onto the track pane you get an audio track because it is audio. Drag an audio sample onto an audio track. Press play. You hear the sample. Watch the videos yo learn how to make music with MIDI. Completely different thing.

100%

(I hate it when a post seems to disappear. Apologies of this appears twice.) Remember this caveat: When triggered any existing MIDI events get transformed. At the same time, the MIDI events in the top half get created. They do not get transformed.

"In" is the incoming MIDI event - the channel range, the lowest velocity, the highest velocity, the lowest note, the highest note which is "acceptable." "Out" is the MIDI event that goes out if the incoming event is acceptable. "Offset" says how much each parameter must be changed. You can opt to move events 2 channels higher, or lower. You can change the note number, you can change the velocity, you can change a CC's value. If the checkbox is checked, it is a fixed offset, if unchecked, it is a percentage. Put a 5 in the Vel/CC Val column, unchecked and the Velocity/CC Value will be increased by 5%. Check the checkbox and the Velocity/CC Value will be increased by 5 units.

You can manually enter a value for CC4 at the beginning of the event list, but this si not an ideal way of working. What happens when you play a groove where you want to pedal the HH. You need to get the foot controller seen to.

😀

Try free VU meters. Some of them can be resized. You place one before the VST and one after, and then line the meters up nicely on the screen. Have a look here and here.

Use Utilities -> Cakewalk Plug-in Manager. You create your own better-named categories. You can drag and drop entries. You can have nested folders. You can place VSTs in multiple categories. The only thing you can't do is use colours.

Shouldn't this be in Q & A?
