Hey!!!  I was just about start a similar discussion with a similar issue.  I get a stuck note that continue on forever, but this seems to happen only with VPS Avenger synth.  I don't have the same problem with Omnisphere.

I have tried two different keyboard controllers--the Roland A-88 and the Behringer UMX610, both with their respective drivers installed.  Both exhibit the same behavior--a random stuck note.  There also seems to be a lack of reponsiveness with the keyboards, an occasional dead key strike.  When I use the virtual keyboard within Avenger, there are no stuck notes.  I cannot really play that virtual keyboard, of course. 

Moreover, I tried both keyboard controllers to trigger Avenger in Studio One.  No problem there!!  The problem is only in Cakewalk.  Is this a bug in the Cake?

I'm using Win10 with the very latest CbB.

Just discovered the Tempo Track.  Didn't know it existed!  Looks very promising for the very task I want to do.  Need to learn how to use it.  You can just drag particular sections up and down to change tempos.  The transitional curves look cool, too!

You need a new tempo twice; once to change it to your desired tempo and another to change it back to the original speed.
Project>Insert Tempo Change.

Thanks, guys.  The problem is that I have multiple tempo changes--like 9 changes--throughout the tune, and I may only want a temporary change in say the third and sixth tempos--so I can add drum parts at a slower speed before returning to a faster tempo.  So, I'm going to have to be doing a bunch of tempo changes just to temporarily do changes in two of nine sections.

It would be nice just to select a region and change only that region.  Cakewalk!  New feature!!!!

Hello!  I've been using Cakewalk since it was Sonar 2.2, but I never figured this out--probably because I didn't need it too often.

I would like to change tempo in a section in the middle of a song without affecting the tempos around that section.  I was hoping it was as easy as selecting the region in the time ruler, then inserting a new tempo, but that doesn't seem to work--it affects the rest of the song.

Is there a way do change tempo only for a middle section?

Thanks!!

Running 20H2 here with no problems. Sometimes Windows updates re-enable sound devices that have been disabled. Worth a look at device manager perhaps

Thanks, Hatstand.  I'm tentatively optimistic that the issue is resolved.  It appears that the 20H2 update installation may not have been complete.  I ran the check for updates again, and there was a further update to 20H2 indicated, a more recent one.  That, fingers crossed, seems to have fixed things.  The first update was definitely a problem for me. 

Everything was working fine until I decided to update to Win10 20H2, with other recommended driver updates.  Now Cakewalk does not function on my system.  There's a weird distortion until audio dropout every time I hit play.  Anyone else experience problems?

If it happens only in the Start Screen, then it's possible to disable the Start Screen (Preferences > Customization > Display: Other:Show Start Screen = off). IMO the Start Screen is not necessary, because you can open the last projects and new projects from the 'File' menu. With new projects this is even better, 'cos there pops up a dialog with the basic project settings. And I swear that CbB starts really faster without SC! 😉

Nope, it still happened with the start screen turned off.  I'm at a loss. Already tried a clean reinstall.

I'll give that a try!  Thanks marled.

Try disabling your AV to see if it's causing it.

 

Thanks for the reply, gustabo.  I'm not sure what AV means here.  How to do this?

Hello!

Every time I launch Cakewalk (latest version and for the past couple of updates), the mouse pointer goes nuts, blinks on and off between pointer and hourglass, and is doubled.  It's enough to give me a seizure and actually makes it difficult to choose an existing project from the list.  Upon loading the project, the problem goes away--it's just at startup, and it only happens for Cakewalk, no other software on my system.  I have attached a movie showing the problem.  Is there a way to fix that?

I'm using Win 10, also latest update.

Heck, I didn't know  that one could do all that the plugin manager could do in the browser. Cool.

I also did not know that!  

I have a Fostex 250 4-track that I paid $950 bucks for way back in 1984.  The switches were always wearing out--got them replaced about 2x each.  It was non-functional (not playing the tape) for about 15 years because of a worn out drive belt.  The belt is just a frickin rubber band, rather small, but no one had the specs, so I had to wait years until some guy in UK, the only guy still making them, decided to sell to USA again.  Got some old stuff to digitize!  I actually hated those 4-tracks.

Hi everyone! Back to business in the new forum! So, if many of you, like me, followed the continuos releases of Sonar through the years, I bet y'all remember how divisive Take Lanes were, and, mostly, how buggy they were. I've tried, really tried, but Track Layers were so essential to my workflow that I'm still on 8.5. So, beign 2018, post SPlat era, what is the state of TL? Is there any other new retro-feature that resembles Track Layers? How did you overcome them?

Yep, I loved layers and hated the new lanes (I think I got that right--it was the new thing that I hated).   I was vocal in that old discussion.  I always do multiple takes of every instrumental performance, sometimes up to 50 takes!  (Because I suck as a musician).   I have gotten around the loss of track layers by using track templates:  I pack 8-10 tracks into a track folder, save them as a track template, and use the tracks as if they were track layers.  It actually works better for me, since now I can archive any tracks that I want to save for review later, saving CPU, whereas you couldn't archive an individual layer.  When I want to do some more takes, I just import my pre-configured track template--a track folder packed with tracks.  I do all the editing and comping with those tracks, and pasting clips back and forth between the tracks is bug-free.  Also, the mute and solo buttons are larger this way!  I was often mis-clicking those in the layers.

All prog metal myself, but I also record some clients who do other forms of rock.  I mostly use the Kemper Profiler direct to DAW for guitars now.  I just could never get the quality of some of those guitar sounds mic'ing the cabinets myself.  Been trying for two decades!
