Ummm....I’ve been using some variation of Cakewalk all the way back to Pro Audio back around 2001 so I’m fairly confident I’m adept Trust me when I say the issue I had was bizarre and Noel changed code in order to squash the bug. He’s a hell of a nice guy too !

LOLOLOLOL

I wanted to do a public shout out to @Noel Borthwickfor some exceptional support. I’ve had sort of an odd problem and Noel had a Zoom session to sort it out - and what he fixed will be appearing in a future release. unbelievable support !!

@Noel Borthwick Hi Noel - from our FB communication... I'm feeling quite stupid but how do I PM you here ? Or just that I need more coffee Or both ! DISREGARD ! I figured it out.

I’ve posted about this before but I’m not sure my written explanations made sense. So this time I took a vid. Long story short. If I move my cursor around the track area all is good. If I move (and not even click anything) in the buss area I get crackles and all kinds of buffer issues. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uklm6889rvypuff/IMG_1158.MOV?dl=0

I still blue screen during the reboot process. It then reboots again and undo’s all the changes. Oddly I dual boot (one off of an NVMe and one off a SSD - the NVMe fails) and one of the installations updated to 2004 without an issue.

Thx for responding. The most bizarre part is that it only makes the noise (when audio is being processed)when busses are visible and I scroll the mouse ON the area where the busses are. Even without audio being processed I still rack up the “late buffer” count when hovering over the performance area on the control bar AFTER scrolling on the bus area. My brain hurts.

No change with 2020.09 (Build 006, 64 bit). I think it might be a plug in but this is odd as hell.

Not directly the same issue but I’m also having strange problems after installing a new NVIDIA card.

Here's a strange one. Bought and installed a new video card (GTX 1650) for a recent new studio build (Asus Hero, i9 9900, 32 Gig,etc) and noticed a strange anomaly. When I'm in track view (without busses being visible) and scroll my mouse while audio is being played all works as expected. However if I am in track view with busses visible (via the show/hide bus pane button) and am passing audio through my busses I hear a LOT of crackling when I scroll my mouse. How strange is that ? It makes mixing a real pain as you can imagine. It is reproducible on old projects as well as new projects (using my template) and it never happened before I installed the video card - which is working great. Any ideas ? Can one of my plugins one one of my busses be causing such an issue ? Running 2020.08 (Build 120 64-bit) EDIT - When I reproduce the crackling the "late buffers" number soars up in the performance area if you hover the mouse. The mystery deepens...

I use the Slate VTM a LOT.

Hehehe. That’s probably an accurate timeline. I used to use what ever was in that area

15 years of habit

Narrowed it down a little. If I go File>Export>Audio I get the normal export audio dialogue and can start the export AND interrupt with the esc key. That works fine. However if I do it from the control bar Custom>Export and start the export I cannot interrupt it with the ESC key. In both instances Audible Bounce is enabled. This is repeatable on multiple projects.

Already ahead of you New project, old project, and different instances of Cakewalk. However the instances share the same keyboard (in a dual boot configuration). I’m wondering if my keyboard got wonky ? Stranger things have happened. I’ll troubleshoot further and I thank you for your response.

When I export, I've always been able to hit ESC to stop the process for at least the last 15 years or so Am I going crazy or has that functionality changed as it no longer stops exporting which at that point it would ask if I'd like to keep the resulting audio ? I've tried it on two different installs on two different machines both running 2020.08.

I think it’s safe to say after a few years that - A - the updates are EXCELLENT and are keeping our favorite DAW VERY much alive. B - the delivery of the updates via Bandlab Assistant is incredibly problematic for some people. I just had my singer install it recently and it took HOURS which I found bizarre as I don’t typically have issues. But thank you guys so much for the updates !

Thank you guys !!

Will there be another EA version before you guys release the final 2020.07 ?

Small issue - I seem to be no longer able to scroll the control bar with my mouse wheel. It used to scroll horizontally but that seems to not work any longer. Thx folks for keeping my favorite DAW alive and well !

Been running it stably for a few days. Not real heavy usage yet but I’ll be doing a lot of tracking and mixing tomorrow and tomorrow night. Thank you as always !

Still not working here...

Here is something bizarre. My studio PC is dual boot with one being only for music creation and one for only internet related functionality. The intent is to keep my music portion relatively off the Internet. The Internet partition/drive installed 2004 just fine with zero issues. The music partition/drive failed and rolled back twice (so happy the rollback worked fine). Now strange is that ? Same OS, exact same hardware, exact same everything. The only truly difference - and I really doubt this will make a difference - is that my music partition resides on an M2 while my Internet partition resides on an SSD. Pretty strange, yes ?
