Other DAWs are currently supporting Dolby Atmos (Protools, Cubase, Reaper, Logic...). This technology is spreading a lot recently as everybody can see e.g. in Netflix (it shows "Atmos" option only if a Atmos system is connected). I imagine that our beloved Cakewalk should have an improved "Surround Pan" in order to position every track (= object) in the 3D area. The encoding will be obviously a completely different matter, since the Surround Pan won't mix anything but just send to the Encoder the position information. I assume that it could be something not free to pay the Dolby royalties, like it happens with a lot of plugins. Any plans ?

I'm interested too, for Windows. I know that Dolby Atmos Renderer is available for MacOS only at the moment, importing every track from DAW and then rebuild the mix & position on the Dolby Renderer. It might be wonderful to have it as an improvement of the current Surround Mixer of Cakewalk.

To calibrate sound of monitors and headphones, does anyone have found a free Parametric equalizer VST with: - separate Left and Right controls - possibly with more than 4 P-bands ? At the moment Prochannels EQ are actually stereo, but with 4 equal bands in common for L and R channels and mono display.

Hi Noel ! The last CAKEWALK version available today seem to solve the stability problem! At the moment I wasn't able to crash it !

2020-02-02 INTRO Test Crash 12b_02052020_185925.dmp Hi Noel, here's the dump file for your analisys. Thank you very much in advance !

I have the IDENTICAL problem, but with much less MIDI and more audio tracks, and short project (5-6min). If I move the cursor in the timeline too fast and press PLAY, Cakewalk crashes, it happens so frequently that I have fear everytime to stop and play again. It I start playing from the beginning, no problems. After the crash, Cakewalk remains in the Windows Processes, so it's not possible to reload it immediately, and if I try to terminate it, Windows takes 5-6 minutes to stop it ! ==> Frequent crashes, 5-6 minutes to wait to reload CW or need to reboot everything. Terrible. Windows 10 pro updated. Cakewalk updated, it seems last update increased the problem. CPU and HD load is very low, memory usage is about 30%, so they are not likely the cause.
