  1. Did.  Explained what I had tried so far. They recommended doing it again. sigh. No uninstall option so had to brute force delete, scrub registry, then re-install. Still acting quirky. Shows all my vsts instruments. Midi track shows active but not sending to the audio track. So no sound.

    I guess it's a special feature.

  2. OK. So all this was a terrible plan. Created junction ok. Updated and everything crashed so bad I had to do a system restore. Could not uninstall. Hardway to delete and clean registry. Now I am ready to reinstall.

    I am left with one junction:   mklink /j "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk" "F:\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Content"

    Directory on C:\   has:        01/14/2022  03:04 PM    <JUNCTION>     Documents and Settings [C:\Users]

    How do you delete this link?

    (Win 11)

  3. Just updated Cakewalk to latest version. Went to > Help > Refresh Registration and successful.

    Five minutes I have to do it again. Am I overlooking something?

    --------

    After further review, clicking on the refresh tab gives activated notice, HOWEVER it doesn't actually activate. Did the offline process but no luck there either.

     

  4. Fascinated by this but want to clarify. Let's say Cakewalk installed to C/: I want to move everything to X/:  So:

    1. Move everything to X:  2. Make a Directory Junction C to X. (Google search says OS kinda see this DJ as a shortcut.)  Will this process include all subfolders and files?

    And I think you are saying any updates from now on look at the C; drive and relocates the update physically to the X: Drive.

    Is it really that SIMPLE??

  5. This is obviously a very powerful tool that many are not aware of. Be cool to have a detailed discription of the process detailing what it will do, what it won't do, and its limitations.

  6. OK Scook last question. About to try this. Let's assume I have some custom files in say Cakewalk Core - Plugin Menu Layouts titled King's Plugins.

    Does this process just update specific files inside the folder and leave the others untouched or will I lose King's Plugins. Can't afford to damage what I have.

  7. Yeah. I certainly don't mess with registry. Not necessary. But like to keep as much music production off the OS drive as possible.  Usually VST locations, Core, and Content.

  8. Teah I just found that and need to learn how to use. So, is this a onetime thing that becomes automatic, or something I need to do every time I update? and thank you for your responses.

  9. Thank you Scook. I moved most of files to a different drive location from OS - that file being one of them. AND it looks like you can't point Cakewalk to that location in Preferences.

    sigh.

  10. Michael - you are correct. The disconnect people have is a misunderstanding of what your RIGHTS really are. You have the right to do ANYTHING you want - but understand that that extraordinary right only extends to the tip of your nose - and no further.

    That right ends there because you then intrude on others, and that is NOT your right.

  11. I have a completely separate drive for my music business away from my OS drive. Since Cakewalk does not give an option to change install locations, so it installs files everywhere except where I need them. Updates are a chore to locate the new files, relocate, and determine what is different.

    Wouldn't it be a nice feature to install updates to where my files are located?

  12. I no longer have metronome sound. Switches on the tool bar operate. In preferences, toggled between audio and midi and nothing. In the audio dropdown there are no choices - blank.

    Thought: Is it now required to have a metronome bus?

    Thanks

  13. Hey guys - should be the simplest of all things. But midi is not my strong suite. Track will not display velocity no matter what I try. I can hover the mouse over the note and get the icon to adjust but does not display the perpendicular line to see what I am doing.

    Also weird - notes have always been blue. Now they are green. Is that a clue, maybe?

    Copied to a separate midi track and they are brown. Plays but no way to adjust velocity.

  14. Building up a dedicated computer for a friend. Mostly done. Installed the drum progs & put maps in the Drum Maps Folder. I don't know the proper terminology, but now time to "assign" cakewalk to the drum prog mapping. Opened a project, went to drum midi track. I see the "drum map" button but drop down not available.

    Is it possible that an interface connection is required before you can edit/assign?

    Thanks in advance

  15. Sory M.

    Audio guy. Idiot with video.

    User since Sonar4. Kinda thought anyone who uses CW would understand moving tracks/folders. Not sure how to better describe better. I simply cannot move a track or folder without it going into another folder. The Drag/Slide doesn't do anything. Only drag & drop up/down. Have to use "Remove from folder" to remove out of folder. Dragging just adds it to another folder.

    My current solution - remove all tracks and delete all folders. Awkward using 7 softsynths, drums, and 9 vox tracks. 

    I wonder how deep I can go with sub sub sub sub folders. If it is only one sub level, can I make one folder & put the entire project inside?

    Whatever the algorythm used, it's too sensitive

  16. Yeah, still having issues trying to move/ reorder folders. "Sliding/ dragging" doesn't do anything on my daw. Years using the "line" to tell where to drop location. Now it doesn't matter what the "line" - it only goes to the nearest folder.

    I have six folders and cannot reorder them. Movement only adds to the nearest folder in the location I want to move to. I literally have no ability to relocate a folder or track.

    Three months ago I thought this would be a cool feature. It only made the workflow more difficult.

    Would love to be able to turn off feature.

  17. Updated to WIN11. Now when project opens I get this error:

    Unable to open audio device. Device may not support the current project's audio format or may be in use. For help please visit . . . . .

    All seems to be ok in preferences. No other audio open. Have opened a different project & works ok.

    Thanks for helping
