Delimiting names works for tracks and busses. But no matter which output is selected on a track or bus the hardware output will only display the stereo label.
Does Show Mono Outputs not apply to hardware output strips? Or is this a MOTU bug?

Read carefully the post right above yours.

Seems there's a pandemic of CbB activation fails lately and the numbers are growing. Is this because:
1. Users are offline when trying to activate?
2. Users aren't running the last activatable version 2024.12?
3. Cakewalk servers are down or crippled preventing activation?
4. CbB has finally reached it's end without official notice and is no longer able to be activated?
5. Activation is now controlled by an overactive AI collective from an undisclosed location somewhere deep in the multiverse?hint1: there are no wrong answers

If you receive this error with 2024.12, contact support. If you're using 2024.07 or older you'll have to upgrade to 2024.12 to clear it.

I updated the pic to highlight the text. Maybe for some it's ok but very hard for me to read especially at higher screen resolutions.

Unfortunately he can't do anything about the tiny text size.

A system reboot seems to fix it.

Most Track Icon folders show thumbnails as expected. But today I found the Guitar folders doing this:

Any ideas what happened here? First time I've seen this - right after today's Windows10 update.

You should be able to do this with Arranger sections if button E (top right) is enabled on the SELECT module.

I've had similar issues with CbB not connecting to outboard MIDI gear thru a MOTU midi interface. Occasionally CbB refuses to send or receive any data. All settings are visually correct and VSTs work. A system reboot (sometimes 2) is needed to get it working, so maybe it's a Windows or USB or MOTU driver issue.

Thanks. This post explains it. Must upgrade to 2024.12. I was on 2024.07 so it finally caught up with me.
Still no explanation why uploads aren't working tho.

You can't refresh or activate Cw\Bl earlier than Version 2024.12 with online or offline activation.
I'm also on 2024.07 and started getting this error about the time the announcement was made. Looks like the latest version of CbB is the only one that will keep working, which is currently 2024.12. When and if there's another update, this one will also fail reactivation. Eventually they will all fail if past announcements hold true.

Doubtful Mark McLeod will but @msmcleod might.

Great. It also works in CbB today so I don't know why it wasn't working the other day. Knowing me the synth may have been frozen tho I tried it on several different tracks.

Add ability to duplicate a soft synth track when right-clicking it. Currently duplicating a soft synth track in CbB only creates an audio track.

In case the site manager is not aware,
CbB is no longer able to activate, along with uploads failing.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T5f4wzFHsaTnCH1EmfVzafZ7DjWp2sqq/view?usp=sharing

Forum software is preventing uploads ATM so download moved to google drive.

Last 2 days the servers have been down. 502. 503, 504, 403, 404, etc. Today the site is up but still experiencing errors. I can read some threads but am unable to upload files or pics to my posts.
"⚠"
"Sorry, an unknown server error occurred when uploading this file."
"(Error code: -200)"
"🆗"
When this happens, can we have a notice or some such on the main Cakewalk site acknowledging it?
If not, at least this link is helpful. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/discuss.cakewalk.com.html

Click the pic. It will open in your browser. Then click the download button.
If you're not logged in the cursor tip may say "unavailable". Ignore and click anyway.

There's no "auto detection". A Synth track requires a MIDI track to tell it what to play. You can create your own MIDI notes or record them by playing an outboard keyboard in real time or import a MIDI file.
You can have a combined Synth/MIDI track or separate Synth and MIDI tracks.
Checking the box under Advanced > Split Instrument Track creates separate Synth and MIDI tracks and automatically assigns the MIDI track to the synth.
MIDI notes are entered in Piano Roll View or on the MIDI track by changing the MIDI track's Clips button to Notes.
Download and read the PDF manual.

Thanks Glenn. Seems there's some discrepancy? between my OEM driver version #s and dates and Nvidia's so it can be confusing. Overall the current driver works fine but there are occasional hiccups like preventing the system from shutting down.
-
There was some mention of updating Nvidia drivers in this thread.
My laptop is 2016 with an updated 2024 Nvidia driver. Nvidia has newer drivers dated 2025 while my laptop support site only has one dated 2019. However, Nvidia Drivers site says this:
Although GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers can be installed on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM for recommended software updates for your notebook.This makes me wonder if installing the 2019 driver is best?
Taskbar MIDI Indicator Occasionally MIA?

I've noticed in CbB that the MIDI activity monitor doesn't always show up in the Taskbar as expected (enabled in Preferences). When it is there sometimes it fails to show activity.
Reporting in case Sonar has the same issues.
