My MIX RECALL is also broken. I had the current version but it still doesn't work so I uninstalled/reinstalled via Assistant the same current version (build 24) and it still doesn't work. The camera thingy stays greyed out so I can't save a mix. Any ideas? I guess I may need to reboot... Rebooted and still doesn't work, boohoo! May 1, 2019

I just upgraded to the new FabFilter EQ 3 and it's excellent. It now has "dynamic" EQ capabilities and a beautiful and EZ to use graphical interface, well worth demoing (and buying if you can afford it). Software EQ's are far superior to hardware, it's not even close as by default, you are always storing your settings with each track and can have as many instances of, for example, the FF3 on each and every track. With your hardware EQ, you basically have a clumsy choice of only one setting. By clumsy I mean you have to physically connect it with cables and remember settings, etc. Also, DAWS are light-years better than old-school reel to reel tape machines with mixing boards, etc. With DAWS you become free to roam. Say you go on vacation and want to record, mix and Master. Can you easily take your EQ, cables, mixer and tape machine along? If you have a setup like many of us, a big powerful desktop and a small, light mobile laptop, you can have BandLab on both computers and plug-ins like FF3 and just move your song files from one to the other with a USB drive or "The Cloud". Wherever your computer is, you basically have an entire studio with you (remember to bring your audio-interface and maybe a few microphones, guitars, etc). You're gonna love DAWS and will learn of many amazing things you can only do with DAWS, but there's a lot to learn. Don't be intimidated, for help, there are these forums and many excellent tutorial videos on Youtube to show you how to do things. Have fun!

Before I reverted back to 4.1, I tried the stand-alone version of 4.2 and everything seemed to work perfectly. Looks like it's a CakeWalk issue. Also, Ulf from Celemony got back to me and he said I was the first to report the out-of-sync issue. I'm going to make another little video with my phone showing the progress bar about a second ahead of the sound of the blobs. I'll send it to him and see how he reacts. As I recall from when I did this same task when 4.2 was first released, he said they would fix it but it would be a while... Oh well, 4.1.1.011 seems solid and the 4.2 was never aimed at CakeWalk users in the first place. PS I'm no longer getting that default algorithm error at all. Mine loads as expected with the melodic screen showing blobs up and down the music staff as expected. However, I was getting that error upon the first release of 4.2. FYI I use a Universal Audio Apollo Mark 2 Quad Twin Thunderbolt with ASIO drivers, up to date Win 10 and CakeWalk by BandLab.

Thanx Kevin, I found the option to turn off automatic checking for updates and now my reinstalled 4.1.1.011 works great.

Just installed the 4.2.1 update and now the blobs are totally out of sync with the sound. Yeah! Me thinks Celemony is not sure what to do with Cakewalk as we are a "free" program now. Do they fix it correctly or not? Guess I'll go back to version 4.1 that works but whenever I load it, it annoyingly opens a web page telling me to get the latest greatest updates (that we all know don't work). Oh well, as long as 4.1 works I guess I'm happy enough.... PS I just sent my out-of-sync experience to Celemony and asked if they can disable that pop-up that always appears telling you to get the newest version which is doubly frustrating as the pop-up is annoying, and in my experience, just leads me to another failed upgrade. 4.1 already does more than I could dream of and I'm happy with it. Does anybody know how to disable that annoying pop-up?
