  1. Any time an interface has a factory supplied ASIO driver that should be the first choice. Note, this does not include interfaces that ship with ASIO4ALL. Focusrite does supply genuine ASIO drivers. https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207546105-How-to-install-Focusrite-drivers-on-Windows When using a factory supplied driver, it is important to make sure generic ASIO drivers such as ASIO4All and the generic drivers included with Cubase, Samplitude and FL Studio are not installed.
  2. Try adjusting the buffering on the receiving BC Connector
  3. Reason added VST support to their DAW and created a Reason VST plug-in. One alternative to connect various VST/AU/AAX hosts is the new Blue Cat's Connector.
  4. Presets are XML files. Easy enough to modify the "BC Connector VST data\Presets" installed along with the plug-in with a text editor and save them into your "Documents\Blue Cat Audio\Blue Cat's Connector\Presets"
  5. "Enter/Exit Auto Track Zoom" is exposed for binding in the "Track View" area in Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts
  6. Yes, archive is useful. Archive is more about saving CPU cycles than reducing the project memory footprint. In fact, archiving a softsynth does not remove the synth from memory. Disconnecting the synth unloads the synth from memory. Connect/Disconnect toggle is in the synth rack menu (D in the image below) when docked with the browsers. When undocked or in the multidock, use the power button next to each synth. For more info see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Browser.11.html Time sensitive programs like DAWs don't run very well if they are forced to use virtual memory.
  7. Quick grouping Select the tracks, while holding down the CTRL key, click on one of the track's output drop down and select or create the bus. For more in see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.43.html
  8. For 1 consider time-based selections. In Preferences > Customization > Display enable "Display All Times as SMPTE" This will allow precise time-based selections in the select by time dialog and select module. Once selected create a new arrangement section. For 2 and 3, the export module shows the run time of the current selection.

    Echo=On

    Echo plays the data coming into the track. If there are clips in the track, echo is not necessary to hear the clips.
  10. Glad to help. Building new a DAW can be painful.
  11. The first image shows synth layouts. The second image shows FX layouts. Synths and FX are managed and displayed separately. The synth layouts are displayed where a synth may be added. The FX layouts are displayed where FXs may be added. There is no single view for all layouts. Audio tracks FX racks will show both Synth and FX layouts albeit in separate menu paths. This is because both may be placed in audio track FX racks. The synth rack view only manages synths so it would not make sense to display the FX menu tree there.
  12. I don't understand. The initial image above shows the 3 "Sort by" layouts for synths and one custom synth layout. IOW, all the synth layouts. The second image shows the 3 "Sort by" layouts for FX and one custom FX layout. IOW, all the FX layouts. I don't see a problem. "Sort by manufacturer" is a layout created by the DAW. Like the other "Sort by" options they show all FX or synth plug-ins scanned by the DAW. These have no effect on custom layouts. If a plug-in loads in a project, the plug-in should appear in the three default "Sort by" layouts. However, for a plug-in to appear in the custom layout it must be manually added to the layout using the Plug-in Manager. If you do make sure to re-install CbB.
  13. Probably not a registry issue as the only thing contained in the registry is the layout path which is set in Preferences > File > Folder Locations. Could it be the layout contains a mix of FX and synths plug-ins? While the plug-in manager allows creating layouts containing both, the DAW does not support it.
  14. I am guessing the one that is showing was built using the current installation. Were the other 2 built at the same time? Do the other 2 show up as FX layouts?
  15. If all one has is CbB, the steps to convert wav files (or any format recognized by the DAW) from one sample rate to another are Drag all the clips into a project set to the appropriate sample rate Save the project Close the project The converted clips will be in the project audio folder. Exporting clips is necessary only if a format other than wav is desired.
  16. I used to be one myself. Then I was promoted to whipping boy and department sin eater.
  17. IIRC, the Style Dials use older versions of the plug-ins. I learned their structure the hard way. When I was volunteered to support MC7, I installed the DAW and it blew up some of the Platinum plug-ins. A few rounds with the devs and the problem was sorted out. They could be DX, VST2 or VST3 because FX Chains supports all formats but, in this case, they are all VST2.
  18. This is not a big deal, however; the devs monitor the current feedback thread closely. Posting issues with the current release in the feedback thread may get a faster reply and a fix, if it truly is a current release issue. This one, of course, is not unique to 2021.12.
  19. An easy fix. Glad it worked for you. This is not new. The problem started in 2013 with the release of SONAR X3. At that time, the default for "Enable MIDI Output" changed. Any synth capable of sending MIDI data has "Enable MIDI Output" turned on. This along with "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" defaulting to enabled caught many users. This setting changes track inputs to Omni if they were set to None. Starting with CbB 2021.01, if a project contains any plug-in with "Enable MIDI Output" turned on, instead of switch None to Omni, the DAW switches to "All External Inputs Omni", a new input option. This way the user has to actively select an input capable of picking MIDI data from plug-ins.
  20. The button in red is E The triangle in blue is D
