Look up "Bounce to Clips" or hilite all of the clips in the track and RMB <Bounce to Clips> or [CTRL+B]

Since this is an extremely rudimentary query, I would suggest that you learn a little about DAW's & CW in particular starting HERE. You will need an instrument to play back the MIDI data, like the TTS-1 (if you have it) or any other general MIDI synth. The GM (General MIDI) synth is no longer available in Win10, so you will need to DL something to play back the notes. Did you DL the included Cakewalk instruments using the CW Product Center? If you don't have an external MIDI device (Keyboard/Pads controller) then nothing will show up in the MID Devices section of the Prefs. Or you could use the Virtual Controller to input notes too. There is also a long discussion of free VST instruments in this THREAD.

Laptop or tower? If tower, I highly recommend NVME SSD on the MOBO or In a Pcie slot. They are so much faster to load sample instruments & since sample data doesn't change much, they don't get hit very hard with write cycles.

Marcato articulations have a fast, strong, or robust attack on a sustained note. If this is not available in your package, then you may need to layer the instrument with both Sustain & Spiccato articulations on separate tracks but with the same midi notes driving them.

Signal flow in a console module goes from top to bottom.

I've been using multiple Arranger tracks since they were introduced; Meter, Key, Chords, Cues (mood), & other notes (occasionally) and they work perfectly. Show or hide the ones needed. Been scoring with this program to film & video (also Nuendo, PT, & Cubase) for 18 years. Sure... it might be a workaround, but it's very viable as such.

Just remember where they are and what they do, because they are 'global' to the freeze operation. That has tripped me up more than once when I actually wanted to print the FX to unload some CPU on some subsequent track or session on the same project. But even I commit "pilot error" occasionally.

The FX that are bonded to the track bin only freeze if you have the freeze options set to do so. Freeze is generally considered to be a 'temporary' condition, hence the ability to continue to add/remove/edit FX & controls. Why worry about it?

First, look in the Control Panel for Add/Remove Programs & see if you can remove from there. That will call an uninstaller (if available for P5antom) & clean the registry entries also.

I tried to sleep in my Vapors tee shirt and now I'm Turning Japanese. [I really think so]

If you have access to a barn and a pasture, you can still use a horse & buggy if you wish. Good luck with that.

On my machines (and it took some getting used to...) the first click LMB selects the Section and all tracks, the second click selects only the Section banner. Dbl-clik opens the Arranger browser window AND selects only the banner. Still operates that way for me. Have you tried to quit & restart CbB?

For over a year now, NI has had a SW design pattern of 'one step forward, two steps back'.

Close CbB, flush your browser cache, try again. Worked for me about 2 hours ago.

Whatevs. I'll continue to make my living mixing & mastering without it, regardless of what some tuber says. Have at it! BoL!

Reqs: Windows 10 or higher. 64-bit VST 2/3 or 64-bit AAX host. Free trial allowed. It is just another 'mastering' compressor, so... Try it and see.

There goes the neighborhood.

I look at it like flight training; you must learn how to take off, fly level, and land using VFR rules, then graduate to IFR experience, and then you are free, after growing a pair, to do the barrel roll and split-ess to your hearts desire. But you never lose sight of the horizon, the floor, or the ceiling, else you be in trouble.

Login to your NI account and find out what your possible upgrade path is. There has been much debate on their forum as to the K13u to K14s pathway. It may be possible. Generally they only upgrade to equivalent or greater. This question is best answered there. As to the Lunaris license, the free bundle addition is not resellable, but your original may be... on the open market.

Not really sure that you have a 'new' system, as the 'intelLok(R) device drivers' are from an AVID PT install requirement from 10/11, the last of the 32bit systems, mostly for AIR plugins aka BF76 on WIN7. That error is a flag on WIN 10. You may have to clean out some old 32bit plugs first.

And still no negative pre-roll measures or on-board sampler track... no surprise.

The synth that you are using (TTS-1) is one instance of a single DXi instrument, hence when you freeze it, any & all tracks running through it will freeze also.

Definitely send a CDR to the bakers as this is specific to your system. I have tried every possible way to export a mix as MP3 (which is not my common workflow, I always export as WAV and convert post facto) and cannot recreate your issue.

@jkoseattle: IIRC you are using solo strings, each in an instance of Kontakt, right? What I do is convert each MIDI track and all data therein to MIDI channel 1 in the event viewer using any of the available filters & tools, delete any CC data that I don't want/need, set the MIDI input to channel 1 of my specified keyboard controller, and then proceed. [NOTE that this will only work if each instance of Kontakt is on ch1, and does not work well if Kontakt is running as a 'multi'.] When you focus a track (Echo Input), the kbd [sending on ch1 only] will drive that track and only that track allowing all controllers to be written/ edited in that track. Your keyboard probably has a volume [CC7] pedal input, pitch wheel [NRPN], and Mod wheel [CC1] as defaults. Some keyboards allow one to change the CC# of the pedal and/or the mod wheel to operate on CC11 expression in MIDI mode. That may be worth investigating. On 'pre-built' MIDI files, it is generally useful to set the volume CC7 and expression CC11 to a continuous static level of approximately 101 and then use any of the myriad ways to modify them in automation lanes, either in the PRV, or in track automation lanes, post facto. I can swap my keyboard controller between several MIDI templates on-the-fly so that my pitch & mod wheels can be changed to things like CC2, 3, 7, 11, 14, 32, etc. I also use one of these for more complete control of CC's in most of my orchestration projects.
