Thanks for answering! The problem actually was that even though I created a new PGL file by creating 'manage layouts' I could not see my newly created PGL file (screenshots below). However, after hours of tinkering around, I figured that the solution is to just start editing the default 'sort by category' layout that you see after clicking 'manage layouts' and saving that as a new PGL, (instead of creating a new one altogether). That actually helped me see the new Layout I created. So, to anyone having the same problem, there's your solution!

Hi all, I'm really upset as I lost all the setting-up that I had done in order to classify and organise my plugins a particular way. I had done it years ago and now I simply cant remember how I did it back in the day. Let me show you what i am referring to: I open cakewalk> utilities> plugin manager Then I click new (see circled part of screenshot below). When I save the new pgl file, and go back to Insert audio FX, the new layout is just not there despite saving. (screenshot below) If anyone can, PLEASE, PLEASE help me! I lost all my hard work of separating these plugs because I clicked the 'X' by mistake.

My thoughts exactly. The scattered info on Youtube is too inconvenient. Like I mentioned above I already got this course and it has good information and learning pace. Thank you so much for your response Tezza ?

Yep seems homemade but I think the info is good enough this far. Thanks for trying to help John, appreciate it

I bought it and it is pretty good thus far. I've been on and off cakewalk so I decided I'll finally commit to learning Cakewalk. Like you can tell, I'm a beginner. I did not want to go through the annoying youtube ads and 5 minute long intros - so this is pretty good value IMO

I agree

https://coursenigma.thinkific.com/courses/cakewalk-course-complete-guide-go-from-beginner-to-advance I just discovered this course. It has good reviews and I'm considering buying it. What do yall think? Anyone here has bought it?

Cakewalk needs a Humanize feature in the PRV!! I tried the CAL script but its very limiting as it only allows offsetting. No options to randomize velocity and note lengths. Also, there should be an option to color notes differently within the same track.

I don't understand what that means. Sorry

Yeah, I think reducing the length seems to be the only option in Cakewalk. My question was for long 808s that overlap. I think gliding could help but I don't see the 'wheel' option on the list for some reason.

Oh.. And I also took off the synths, converted them to audios, just in case. No luck

Hi, Hope everyone is doing well! Ever since I've updated my Cakewalk to the latest version, the audio engine keeps crashing and the whole track plays slow/different tempo. I'm on Windows 10, 8 gigs of RAM and plenty storage. I went through the support article: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=AudioPerformance.24.html Employed the changes suggested to no avail. Am I the only one? Is the latest version bad?

I see. Thanks :)

Thats bad.. Sometimes you just want notes held longer without note overlaps making it muddy.

How would you do that? I'm aware of what CAL files are but dont know how to write one.
