Custom shortcuts are stored in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\Bindings

CbB provides for export and import of keyboard shortcuts in preferences CbB does not provide a way to export or import Control Bar settings. They are stored in the registry under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\MCBControlBar

The note names are read from %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\master.ins This is a text file and may be modified using any text editor. Make a copy of the file before editing just in case. Two sections need to be updated .Note Names and .Instrument Definitions .Note Names contains the actual MIDI note value to name mapping and starts with the name of the mapping in brackets like [RealGuitar] 0=some text to show for MIDI note 0 1=some text to show for MIDI note 1 ... 128=some text to show for MIDI note 128 The .Instrument Definitions should look something like this [RG] Patch[*]=1..128 Key[*,*]=RealGuitar The value for Key[*,*] must be the name in brackets from the .Note Names section.

Once a clip is imported, I know of no easy way to change the path to the clip. It is possible when importing a clip to tell CbB to use the original clip instead of copying the clip into the project audio folder. To do this, deselect "Copy audio to project folder" in the import audio dialog. There are other conditions that cause audio to be copied into the project audio folder, for details review the help section on importing audio. Also when not using per-project audio folders or the global audio folder for projects that are not setup for per-project audio, keep in mind the projects store these clips using fully qualified file names. IOW, to find a clip it must always be in the same location. It is possible for multiple projects to use a single per-project audio folder. This has the advantage of keeping all the clips for related projects in a single folder and still allow the projects to use relative paths to the clips. On disk the layout looks like this Live Show Folder project file one project file two project file three Audio (the default per-project audio folder used by all three projects)

From the 2019.09 release notes

The tool is called Launch Pad. The thread about it is Prior to v1.7 it used a simple copy process to create hot backups. A change was made to CbB 2019.09 which made the simple copy process unworkable. Now the program has to do a little more work to insure the selected version runs correctly.

If this is the model with a max screen resolution of 1366 x 768, it is going to have problems displaying the program. The minimum screen resolution required is 1280x800.

Given the improvements in the audio engine, does this mean it should be possible to lower the MinPluginLoadBalancingBufferSamples value? Are there any other ini parameters that need to be reviewed?

The tracks have different scales

Yes but it may be more trouble than it's worth. To alter the default behavior requires extending master.ins with the desired note names and using the notes names dialog to load the custom names. One downside to this approach is the inability of the DAW to recall the alternate note name assignments. Unlike drum maps, the notes pane always opens with the default keyboard.

How big should it be? Instead of picking from the drop down, try entering the point size directly in the size field. Still not going to fill the screen. Could use the Windows magnifier if it is still too small.

I used xpand2 license as the search terms in Google. The second result was https://www.airmusictech.com/kb/article/2216 Then I clicked the FAQ on the right side of the page and found the article linked above

If you created a Single Sign On Account in 2014 or later, contact support@cakewalk.com. They have to reset the login for you. Automated password reset was disabled when Gibson shut down Cakewalk.

I am sure you could build your own if money is more of an issue than time and support. Could call @Jim Roseberry (it is his site) and discuss your needs.

Yes, I described the process of using JS4 with AD2 in the cross- posted thread Adding drum maps is a typing exercise. The maps are text files stored in C:\ProgramData\Jamstix4\data\midimaps

I suppose Boz still includes the EQ and Comp PC modules. Having an additional EQ in the PC can be really handy.

The safest bet for a laptop is one made for DAW use like these.

When using the same device for CbB and Windows, make sure the sample rate is the same. The CbB sample rate for the current project is displayed in the transport module and is either read from preferences or if the project has audio clips from one of the clips in the project. The Windows sample rate is set in the properties screen shown above.
