Nevermind. I found the answer. The solution is to go to the Output section in Kontakt and select "Make this the default output configuration". Close Kontakt and reopen it.

Hi I created an 8 output Kontakt multi for Kontakt by adding extra channels in the output section. The outputs work perfectly but for the last two stereo outputs: 7 and 8 , Cakewalk has labeled them <error>. Does anyone know what i did wrong? I can live with it, because they function properly. Does anyone know why this happened?

Hi Windows 11 i7 -k8700 I just updated Cakewalk. Cakewalk opens the FX button enabled (Blue = bypassed). I want Cakewalk to open with FX enabled. I clicked the FX button so it's gray (effects enabled). Resaved the Basic.cwt and Cakewalk still opens with FX disabled. Thank you in advance for any help with this.

Thanks to y'all for the comments. Regards

Thank You for the response Yes... My laptop is adequate or Yes... I should look for laptop with a more powerful CPU?

Hi I have a desktop computer by StudioCat as my main DAW. I want to use my cheap laptop to track vocals and product/arrange sketches with light soft synths/ Kontakt w light sounds while traveling. Is this laptop adequate or should I look for laptop with a more powerful CPU? • Dell Inspiron 15 3567 • i3 7100U 2.4 GHZ • 16 GB ram. • SSD 500gb. • Focusrite Scarlett 2i 4 • Sennsheiser 421 microphone • Kontakt, Massive, Zebra, Dune 3, Sylenth Thank You

Thanks Michael for the info.

Hi I'm not a big gamer... occasionally I went to https://pc-builds.com/calculator "bottleneck calculator" and it reported: "Your graphic card is too weak for this processor. We recommend you to replace NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 5GB with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti" Could my GTX 1050 GPU cause any performance issues in Cakewalk because it is under-powered? Thank you for any ideas. My System: CPU: i7 8700k, 32 GB ram, GPU: GTX 1050 ti (4gb ram) driving 43" Samsung Smart TV and 22" ASUS Monitor, SSD system drive

That's good news that you found the cause.

Thanks for the info on Chrome 444. I decided to return the ones I have and get TCL model 43S425 with chroma 444. There are many reviews about how good its works as PC monitor. Update I got Samsung 43" Tu7000. It has a lot of interesting settings for adjusting the display quality. It support s4:4:4 chroma subsampling at 60Hz refresh at UHD. I also got a Gigabyte GTX 1050 ti graphics card which is very quiet in spite of having a fan. After trying various settings, it looks amazing and Sonar is big and clear. The event list was unreadable with my old setup and in the PRV, it was difficult to see the measure numbers. Now both are very clear a pleasure to work with. Mission accomplished. Thank you all for your comments.

Thank you you all for your comments. Now I am totally confused. LOL !! The Samsung has unacceptable font rendering, I'm hoping that it's because the GPU is all wrong. It doesn't support 4k, so replacing it is the first item on my agenda. Maybe I'll be happy once I get a 4k Graphics card. There are plenty of articles that advice against using a Smart TV for monitor. I can't make a decision about the Samsung until I try a 4k card.

Hi Noel The problem is solved by using the settings I described above, but without these settings, Cakewalk consistently shuts down. The Flash Screen opens, then the application window appears for about 2 seconds. Then Cakewalk shuts down. There is no crash dialog. I am using English language.. Attached is a cakewalk .dmp file generated today, when I changed the DPI settings. Regards Angelo Update I have a different monitor that I am testing as a possible keeper. It's Samsung 43" 7 Series 4k Smart TV. The problem exists with the new monitor. As long as I tick "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by" = Application, no problems. 05122020_091125.dmp

Hi I have two monitors I am testing that are still within the return window time frame. I will keep just a single monitor for now, The monitors are: Dell S3219D 32 " WQHD monitor Samsung 7 series TU7000 43" Smart TV UHD 4k 3,840 by 2,160 I read that the Samsung works very well as a computer monitor and I like the large display. I got a great deal at Best buy on an open box so I am hoping the Samsung works out. Unfortunately, my graphics card does not support 4k, so if I decide to keep the Samsung. I will need to upgrade my graphics card. If anyone cares to comment on these monitors please do. Also, I am interested in advice on a suitable 4k Graphics card, that is reasonably quiet and that also handle moderate gaming. I'm not a gamer but I may want to check out gaming at some point in the near future. Also my budget is limited. Thank You

Ben I have no scaling problems with regular or custom scaling. I want to point out that the problem of Cakewalk shutting down occurred immediately after I connected my new Dell monitor (s3219D) 32". Never had the problem before I used the new monitor. Thanks again
