Yes, Noel. The crash occurs after the save, and surprisingly, the track template IS saved, but Bdlb closes, without the option to recover the project. I did try with the 26.11.0.088 version and there is no improvement. I will forward this to Vienna. Thanks a lot!

mmm - not sure how to revert to prior update (2020.11) ...

Noel, I´m getting crashes again when trying to save track templates containing Vienna Synchron Player. To reproduce: Insert Vienna Synchron Player Select Audio+Midi tracks to create a full template Select save as track template After a few seconds, Bdlb seems to get stuck - Crash: Bdlb closes without any warning --- I'll revert to last update and try again. Enclosed 3 minidumps. Minidumps.zip

... and a snapshot of the export video configurations that always works for me. H.264 codec is the best I came across. Using this configurations I manage to work really smoothly with video inside Blb.

... All the video related tasks described above refers to using a video editor to prepare your personal copy before importing into Cakewalk.

I work a lot in projects involving video and syncing music to it. No problems at all, providing that: 1. the video is encoded with mp4 codec and you have your windows codecs up to date. 2. You add a blank space at the beginning of the video to provide room for any pre roll you need for your music. 3. The exported video is not too heavy (for your computer configuration). 4. The other thing, for accurate frame syncing is to reexport your video file with as little as 1 frame in the Keyframe distance option of your video editing. This ensure that when advancing your video frame by frame (in the video window of Cakewalk) , the video doesn´t jump several frames. Once you get the video right, just import it, and it should play smoothly, using little resources. If you get it right once, to get it right for ever. For the music composition task, I find useful this: 1. Lock completely the audio track imported along the video, to ensure that it doesn't change position when you change your tempo. 2. Mark your video syncing spots using the markers feature and lock them, for the same reason. Sure, it would be nice if someday this wonderful DAW could just move the video in the timeline and lock it...! Hope this helps!

Yes! That was the problem. I did reproduce it here with the same good results. Thanks a lot. I will not use special characters from now on.

Wow. Fantastic addition the articulation map feature. I'm already updating my instruments with brand new AM.!} I encountered two issues: 1. some exported maps doesn't re-import , and I haven´t figured out why, despite some tests. When I try to load the exported map, double clicking on it does nothing, as well as clicking the + command do nothing as well. I tried in sessions with already loaded VSL instruments, and on blank sessions with no instrument loaded at all. Other custom created maps work just fine. Anyone having the same problem? I enclose one of my custom created maps [Horns a 4.artmap], for testing. 2. When editing an existing map, sometimes the "Articulation Groups" doesn't work fine: when adding a new group via the "+" command, instead of adding a a new group, the first group name is erased and replaced by "New Articulation Group" text. The articulations remain in the group anyway. Each time I add a new group, the next group is overwritten in the same way. I guess this is a bug. Enclosed the map behaving weird [Trombones a 3.artmap] - By the way, may be the file gets corrupted in some way, as I think this behavior has something to do with the inability to re-load a customized map.

Also, you can select all the notes and drag with your mouse until you get the desired length. All notes will be shortened.

I have problems too with Bandlab Assistant updating itself. Doesn´t work. I had to download directly from Bandlab website. https://www.bandlab.com/products/desktop/assistant

...and to access this menu, press I or open the Inspector Tab, usually located at the left side of the track View. You should select your instrument track on the Track Pane to see the corresponding controls.

Wow, that is good news Noel! Thanks for the work involved. --- Glad to help!

Hi Noel: Here is some additional info: the crashes occurs using the VST3 versions. Apparently with the VST2 there is no problem - Good luck!

Hi, Noel. I’ve got some new information: The crash occurs only when deleting an instance of the Vienna Synchron Player Plugin AND USING IN ANY WAY IN COMBINATION WITH TRACK TEMPLATES (Save track template / load track template), as long as there are TWO instances of the plugin loaded using track template commands, and deleting the second of any of the instances - WEIRD! When inserting the plugin from the Insert/Soft Synth menu, it works fine, no matter how many instances are loaded in the project, as long as Track Templates are not involved. BdLb crashes in the same way when Saving Track Templates, as I reported in another post. To reproduce the crash: 1. Insert Synchron Player 2. Create (save) a track template Close BdLab, Re Open 3. Insert Synchron Player track template Instance #1 4. Insert Synchron Player track template Instance #2 5. Delete one Instance of Synchron Player 6. (sometimes Bdlb crashes here) 7. Delete second instance of Synchron Player 8. (More Often BdLab crashes here) Enclosed a new mini dump file. Untitled_09122020_145435.dmp
