I figured it out using the theme add.  Thank you!

You can change the background and foreground in the inspector view. 

OR

You can also change this in Preferences >Customization >Color. 

I do not think you can change the background color in preferences.  If you can - where is that located?  And in the inspector view - when there are a ton of tracks and clips - that is a pain.  I would like to be able to change the default for all projects.

Yes - please allow changed background colors like the ability to change foreground in colors - in preferences - colors.

bdickens - you nailed it!  Even though cakewalk does not all cc1 "volume" - it is indeed volume for the Emotional Cello library.   Sailor55 - I have not tried your solution yet, but I appreciate it. 

Thank you.  I will try that!  

Thanks scook.  Unfotunately, changing the zero controllers setting did not solve this issue.

Thank you.  I need to find that setting in Cakewalk!

This is driving me crazy.  I have emotional cello.  It uses Kontakt player 6.  Everytime I start it reduces the volume.  This is on a particular multi-track piece.

If I start a new project, no problem.  I have deleted the volume controller on the track.  What am I missing?

I just hope this cakewalk model is sustainable.  I really want it to last for years.

I thought so too.  And I have been using Cakewalk for 15 years or more.  But somehow when I updated it, it made it click on!

Scook - you solved it.  Now that it is solved I am wondering my the DC offset with would checked as a default in the program.   It sucks!  I suppose it must benefit someone!

I will try that,  thank you!

Thank you Starship Krupa.  Here is another interesting finding:  If I record both mics to one track as a stereo track -  no problem.

But when I record the left mic on track 1 and the right mic on track 2 - the problem is there when I play back both Tracks 1 and 2!

Hi everyone. I have had a weird thing happen.  I was checking out two AEA r44ce mics.  I recorded flute and then drum.  When I pan the left and right mic - there is a strange distortion that appears.  When I center both tracks - it goes away! 

Any thoughts?  I am trying to reboot my system.  Using a lynx aurora 16n (the newer one) with thunderbolt.  This one has got me stumped!

Why would the distortion go away when both tracks are centers and not panned even if I raise the volume?

Thank you again, Craig.  I will keep a lookout for that DVD set!  That was a good price on reverb!

I've used the Discrete Drums loops by Chris Hughes for virtually all my projects since 2016 (except for the 2020 project, which is a different musical genre). Hard to find better IMHO, he's a pounder with finesse and style. 

You can hear the Discrete Drum loops on my albums Neo-, Simplicity, Joie de Vivre, and The Singles (except for the cut "Puzzle of Love"). 

Thank you, Craig.  Where did you find these Discrete Drum loops?  I found this site below, but I am uncertain if it is the correct website:  https://www.sonomawireworks.com/discretedrums/  

Thank you!

So, what is the consensus?  Should I download this update?   My program keeps on asking me to do so!  

Thank you!!!

While this is being asked - I am not sure what the best plugin is for this.  Not all phase corrections, as I understand it, are based on a simple inversion.

Fortunately, I have kept my CD Architect application file and serial number.  If I could not find it, I would buy it off of Amazon, though I wonder why it cannot be purchased from Sony directly?

Thanks, I'll check it out. Thanks also for responding to the actual topic of this thread, which is about Bandoneon VST's,  not reinstalling Windows. And thanks too for not being insulting. 

You are very welcome.  We all have to help each other!  I just ordered an update for the Motu Ethno. Unfortunately, I could not find their instrument list on line.  As soon as I get the update, which they actual mail to me, I will let you know if it is on the list.   Cheers!

I believe Motu Ethno Instrument and I believe it has it in their sample library.   I have found some really good sounds in it.

It is more than free.  They are spending money so we can use it!

This type of customer service is amazing.  Noel was always great whether with Bandlab or before.  I am very grateful that Cakewalk has continued!   

If you get a used TG77 - I believe it has 8 individual outputs.   It plays all the SY77 sounds but has no keys.  That would go a long way.

Make sure to reference  your motherboard documentation to determine what sacrifices you may have to make to use those M.2 slots. There are only so many lanes on the PCIe bus and they share with graphics, SATA and other hardware resources. So keep that in mind and plan accordingly.

my 2 cents.

You are correct. In my situation with A Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7 - I lost some sata ports.  It was worth the trade off though.
