You might also want to make sure that the "Allow applications to take exclusive control" check box is not checked.

Can you successfully record from the mic in any other software on your computer?

My recommendation would be to allow the Microsoft updates. If you experience problems afterward, and you can definitively identify the update as the source of the problem, then Windows allows you to roll back updates. I personally keep my workstation as up-to-date as possible and I have yet to experience a problem with CbB that was caused by an update. As always, your mileage may vary. 😜

It is. The Matrix 4 is in pre-production. ...oh wait... Please post feature requests in the Feedback Loop forum. This thread is about topics for Craig to write explanatory articles about. 👍

There is also a link to the latest reference guide PDF file in the "Cakewalk by BandLab" menu at the top of every Web page in this forum.

@Jaime Ramírez unfortunately, that's not enough info. What build of Windows 10 are you running?

Originally, Durban South Africa. Now, California USA.

This is meaningless without context. Please use the Snipping Tool (built into Windows) to take a snapshot of the area of the UI that you are talking about. It will help immensely.

In case it's not clear, the image in @scook's post is a link to more information that might help you.

I see what you mean. 😜

Don't forget the Snipping Tool that comes with Windows. It's a quick and easy way to show what you're talking about.

There are no stupid questions, but be sure to check out the reference guide on the "Cakewalk by BandLab" menu at the top of this page. 👍

You may find this old thread of some use. I'm hoping Rapture Session has the same logging option that Rapture Pro has.

Yes, you have the basic concepts correct. See the following two documentation links for more details: Connect your MIDI equipment MIDI drivers

You need to select your MIDI controller as a MIDI input device and then you can use it in Cakewalk to play your VST instrument.
