given all the projects start with the same topology try sharing mix recall files.

Files with a CWT extension are project templates and should be stored in the project templates folder. The project templates folder is set in the Templates entry in  Preferences > File > Folder Locations. 

Files with a CWX extension are track templates and should be stored in the track templates folder. The project template folder is set in the Track Templates entry in  Preferences > File > Folder Locations.

For the "where is my template" problem, try developing a workflow storing templates in their appropriate path based on preferences. This usually involves suppling some folder information in the save dialog either with the "Go To Folder" drop down or navigating the directory display. 

To create a project template from one or more track templates,

• create a new project,
• add the templates and
• save as a project template.
• Retain or delete the original track template(s) as desired.

To create a track template from a project,

• open the prpoject, 
• select the tracks and
• save as a track template.
• Retain or delete the original project template as desired.

There is definitely a bug here.

It looks like it was introduced a few years ago, when we refactored the "Slide Over" to use Ripple Edit Selection under the hood.
 

"Slide Over" was TARFU before ripple edit was introduced.

Nice to see it back on the bug list.

Included with CbB:

The unfortunately named

Sonitus Surround

may be worth a look.

Of course, many ampsims include some effect like this, TH3 Cakewalk is no exception.

I tried what Scook suggested in http://forum.cakewalk.com/How-to-automate-VST39s-x86-32-bit-in-Sonar-X2-64-bit-m2778433.aspx    but that didn't work.

The key to display the standard header for 32bit plug-ins hosted in Bitbridge changed since that post from SHIFT to ALT

While not the same hardware, it may need the same CbB config tweak as other Avid interfaces.

Whoops !dang I hate it when people high jack old threads. I still say they should be locked after 3 months. People can just add a link to the old thread if they want to continue 

This bit of deflection is not intended as a substitute for reading the post you reply to, is it?

I have no idea.

The OP started out as a decades long issue with mp3 imports. Fortunately, there is a very long history of threads we can review for issues with mp3 imports.

Import failures involving conversion to wav are rare. Most are DRM or system permission issues.

It took 2 additional posts to discover this is not an mp3 issue but at least an mp3 and flac issue. 

Any other formats involved?

Just noticed that your file extension appears to be a wav file? 

The DAW only works with wav format in the project.

During import the audio may be resampled if different from the project sample rate then is written out as a wav file. 

The DAW is having trouble writing the imported file to the H: drive.

If H: is a removable drive, it may be instructive to see what happens if the import is performed with the project located on a fixed internal drive. Maybe use the system drive and the factory default project folder.

You might be pleasantly surprised in the next release.... and it's much more than an indicator.

Finally, a hovercraft with a hidden track indicator

Sometime solutions are just where one would expect them to be.

This particular issue is in the troubleshooting section of the documentation: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Troubleshooting.31.html

TH3 Cakewalk includes a time-limited demo the full version of TH3.

The demo is activated when any of tjme full version features are used. IOW using the "See All" presets and components that are not part TH3 Cakewalk.

Getting TH3 Cakewalk back usually requires reinstalling the plug-in.

Currently TH3 is part of the core CbB install.

Here are the steps to re-install TH3 Cakewalk using the CbB installer.

• uninstall CbB
• rename or delete %appdata%\Overloud\TH3
• reinstall CbB

The original PC-2A was a PC only module sold separately.

The CA-2A added sidechain, AU and VST2/3 formats for Windows/MAC. This too was sold separately.

The PC-2A was added to CbB 2021.04

Thanks Scook. Id love to go back to wasapi but it stopped recording audio. It's just letting me record midi. So yeah, asio seems to be my only option.

ASIO and WASAPI are audio specifications.

They have nothing to do with MIDI.

If WASAPI stopped working you may need to refresh the driver.

Use what ever works.

Manufacturer supplied ASIO drivers usually perform best but there are exceptions. At least, the DAW works with native drivers too.

I used to have a Presonus 44VSL. ASIO was the best performer for it. But the interface only worked with the USB3 ports on the PC. Using the interface with the PC's USB2 ports (which it was designed for) always caused crackling. Definitely not the norm. IIRC, at the time the PC I was using even had off-brand USB3 chipsets too.

Makes one heck of a subject line.

Now 66% off

Both PC and MIDI controller keyboard shortcuts are setup in the same place, in CbB Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Yes, but it seems there's no way to assign a computer keyboard shortcut to Mute on a certain bus, as we've been discussing.

Nice...I probably should have included more of the original post. The post I was replying to was edited after my repy. It contained information about the German keyboard layout and inconvenient key locations.

@scook   The OP is using a Mac so I think they are talking about the Bandlab App which I do believe works on all OS platforms. 

First thing comes to mind is you can get older PC computers for almost free. I see them in thrift stores for $20 all the time. 

Cakewalk by Bandlab will run on Windows 7 still. Problem solved.  

 

I responding to the user quoted in my reply not the OP.

It's just an assembly job - easier than car, harder than a hammer.

I elect to buy all three preassembled and use my time in other ways.

I found the bandicamp Cakewalk

It's BandLab not bandicamp

1) the controls-section (left of piano roll) no longer offers the pitch shit and time-shift elements for the individual midi channels. ...

2) lyrics. Gone. Just gone. 

1. pitch and time controls (Q in the image below) are on the instrument/MIDI track inspector. They have been there for years in SONAR DAWs before BandLab bought the software.

2. Lyrics view is available. It may be hidden due to your workspace setting. Either change to a workspace that shows the view, create  a new workspace or set workspaces to None. This too is a feature inherited from the old SONAR DAW.

Thanks for explaining this.  I'm now putting my pattern variations on to a second MIDI track and this works okay for me.

If you prefer everything in one track, different clip colors may be the solution.

Each clip may be assigned its own foreground and background in clip properties.

To see if taking out as many plug-ins and real time processing as possible will produce the desired export and/or help narrow down the cause of the problem.

Bounce/freeze as much as possible before export
