I get an "Unspecified error" message when clicking on Media in the Browser Pane. Things go south from there. I rebuilt a file by importing an SMF & Kontak, Play, and Opus samples from multis I had saved ... but to no avail. Sometimes it will open ok, other times there are no clips! Yet audio plays!? Things I've done to try & fix: Rebooted, uninstalled CW 29.09.0.075 & reinstalled it. I went into Windows 10 Device Manager and checked all my audio & video devices for updates. I got back a message saying each device's driver were up to date. I also disabled most plugins. For some reason, some remain from a Sound Forge shared folder. Any ideas on how to fix? For the 1st time in over 30 years, CW may not be my DAW anymore.

I had the same issue. For me, it was because CC1 reverts to 0 after playing. Insert a CC1 into your MIDI track with a value of say, 100.

I have the same problem when starting a new project by loading a project template. This after installing the latest BandLab CW onto a fresh Windows install on a new SSD. I can create an audio track by freezing a synth. But if I try to import audio I get an "Out of Memory" message. However, after loading in a previous project, I can record onto a track in that project file. So, I went ahead and created a basic startup file from one that worked and saved normally. (cwp). I then tried to save as a template but I got a message saying that I don't have permission to save to the Project Template folder. In fact none of the project templates could record. Factory or my own custom ones. My SOLUTION: I went through a whole hierarchy of folders to give permission to the Project Templates folder. When I finally did I was able to save my project template to that location was good to go. All templates allow for audio recording now. Hope this helps.

Aha! I discovered how the extra CCs are being introduced. I do some back and forth with Sibelius via MIDI files. Sibelius is adding them on export. I found a way to disable that. It's still a mystery to me why they remain invisible in all of Cakewalk's editors except for the Piano Roll controller panel. (In the CC list to the left). It still leaves no way to delete them in Cakewalk.

ProMidi, New files don't have this issue so I don't believe it's my connected MIDI devices.. It's a specific file, and further more, specific tracks within the project. It seems they've been corrupted with the invisible CCs.

David, I appreciate your quick response. I tried your suggestion but it is not working on my end. I tried several ways of copying the track content to another track. After creating a new blank MIDI track I verified that the offending controllers were not appearing. But no matter how I copied the contents of my original track to it, the extra controllers are always added. I even filtered out everything but the notes themselves and then copied them over. Same result. The CCs are added. The work around for me was to save the project as a MIDI file, reopen it and manually add and reassign all my synths and samples. I assume then is that the project file became corrupted some how. Eric

I'm not sure what I've done to cause this but I'm getting extra CCs in my PRV controller lane. Specifically CC 121, CC 91 & CC 64 which I've never entered into my current project. I've tried isolating the offending CCs to delete them but no representation of them show up either in the PRV or the Event Editor. I delete the view for them in the left Controller pane of the PRV but if I switch to another track and back again they return. Has anyone in the Cakewalk Community experienced this? What is the solution?
