This little annoyance has been bothering me for years and I would love a solution if one exists. Whenever I import or drag-drop a WAV file that originated on a Mac (a bounced WAV from Logic or Pro Tools) , it lands around the measure 1,600 of the project. This happens whether it's a new session or an existing one. The workaround is easy enough. I just cut the clip and paste it to the beginning of the session. This is a tedious hassle I can live without, especially as I am collaborating more and more with mac users. Any magic fixes out there? Or at least an explanation of why this happens? Thanks

The key bindings on my laptop started acting weird last week. None of my Ctrl shortcuts worked. That led me to this thread and a couple of hours troubleshooting. I know this is not the fix for most (if not all) of you but... It turned out BOTH of my Ctrl keys didn't work on my laptop. Note, this machine is only used for live tracking and I treat it well. It has never been dropped. etc. I figured it out when I went to test the ctrl key in a different program. Maybe a Windows update issue? Regardless, a $5 USB keyboard from the thrift store was my fix. Maybe this will help save someone a headache.

Background: I had several audio track comps in a folder. I wanted to split them into clips and delete silent sections. I locked the position of the tracks so I wouldn't move any audio by accident during the process. Problem: I found I could only select the first (top) track in the folder when clicking the clips in the "folder track." I had to open the folder and CTRL+click each track in order to select all the tracks in the folder. Apparently all the tracks/clips in a folder cannot be selected using the Folder Track if the clips are position locked. Workaround: I had to unlock the clip position to proceed with my edits. Hopefully this is a fixable problem for a future update. BTW, thank you for this great program!

I understand why the Cakewalk developers would block the ability to send an Aux Track back into itself to save us from ourselves. However, please consider changing this. I'm taking an advanced mixing course through Berklee Online and I was not able to complete an assignment as directed (make an "old school ping-pong delay). You should know the instructor (Rich Mendelson, in a live graduate level class) laughed about "that problem with Cakewalk" and it's why he can't use it. Perhaps you can bury an option to unblock that safety feature in the advanced preferences. Just a thought.
