This is pretty basic and I'm almost sure I knew how to do it a while ago. I need a longer intro, so I want to insert 2 measures before the current first measure of my project. It has quite a few tracks with envelopes (e.g. on aux buses or in the audio tracks of VST instrument folders). The 'Insert' command (with 'Events in Tracks' ticked) slides all audio and MIDI clips by 2 measures to the right - but leaves all envelopes in place. This is not exactly what I expected - what did I do wrong?? I can't figure out how to make this work, all help appreciated!

YESSSSSS! Thanks a lot!

Hi, I use Cake on two computers (fully loaded desktop with i7-CPU and 32 BG Ram and a laptop with an i5 CPU and 8 BG RAM). Both run on Win10 and latest Cake release. I notice one huge difference, which makes it almost impossible to use Cake on my laptop: I can't access loop construction; this option doesen't even show up in the view menu. I don't know what's going on here. Could the laptop lack processing power? HELP?

This helped - I uninstalled, then reinstalled into the Steinberg folder and all is well. Thanks loop

I just bought and installed this nicely priced offer - https://www.airmusictech.com/virtual-instruments/transfuser.html - properly authorized with iLok, all redeemed, registered, licensed etc. It doesn't show up in Cake, I rescanned all locations, no joy. Air contact link to support is dead. Would anybody here have an idea? Thanks

I run 3840 x 2160, display scaling at 175%

It's as before and like in any other app or program: readable and in adequate size; the popup VST instrument list seems in comparison like 10% to 20% of that.

I know I've had something like this before - but I can't remember how I solved it. The GUI looks unchanged after the update to 2021.04 (Build 144, 64 bit). But: when I click on the '+' in the Synth Rack to add a new softsynth to the project, the popup list with all VST instruments is too tiny to read on my 4K main monitor. And I can't grab and drag the popup to my second monitor that is configured to HD. How can I increase the size of the popup and/or its font to make it readable again?

Thanks for listening, I appreciate it. loop

Hi, I'm getting back to making music in my old age. Here's a little something I did the other day with Cake. All comments welcome!

I've had this problem for years with both Win7 and now - less often - with Win10. Sometimes the Motu driver doesn't want to play with Windows. I've been in contact with MOTU's support and they had no clue either. Here's what helps in my case: unplug the MIDI cable from the MOTU device and put it back in. This solves about 90% of the problems. If it still doesn't work, reinstall the MOTU driver. IMHO it doesn't matter if you select "Repair" or "Change" - it usually fixes the issue. With Win7 I've had cases where only a complete uninstall/reinstall of the driver helped. In all cases (cable/driver) you need to close and reopen Cake before MIDI behaves again as expected.

This is a new problem as of the latest update. I use the StylusRMX plugin on a song with 3 patches assigned to 3 Stylus mixer slots. I record on/off mutes of one or more slots over time using the "W" function of the plugin window to write automation data. Everything is fine and plays back as expected. Then I edit a few other tracks, MIDI and audio, play back the song again and automation on the RMXStylus doesn't do anything: when pointing at e.g. one of the mute envelopes is shows "Orphaned". I save the song, exit the program, reload Cakewalk and the envelopes work again as they should. Any ideas on this?

Ahhhhh - that helped a lot. Thank you both!

Hi, I'm a longtime time Cake user and like the new Bandlab version a lot. But one thing drives me crazy and seriously impacts my workflow: can I open only one soft synth or FX plugin at a time? For a project I use several soft synths and they all show up in the synth rack. Assigning tracks or channels, MIDI recording and editing, all no problem. But when I edit e.g. a sound patch on synth A and now want to adjust Synth B or an FX plugin accordingly, I can't. When I open the GUI for synth B via double click in the synth rack then synth A's GUI disappears. I use a multi-monitor DAW with one screen dedicated to plugin editing. In old Sonar versions I could have as many plugins open as I wanted to. How can I do this now with Cakewalk by Bandlab? I can't find any parameter or preference setting relating to this issue.
