Got the free version - quite pleasant but very limited (which is fair enough as paid version is cheap anyway)

Thanks Simeon - great walkthrough! Your passion for sharing music at the end was very moving (though I have had a little red wine 😉 ) I'll have to see if I can get the free version of Halion working as this seems worth the investment!

Thanks that was interesting - I haven't explored the Matrix View yet!

Another appreciation for Pete here. IK can be frustrating but Pete ( and Ryan for that matter) are always very helpful

Strange - I've just got it with no problems a few minutes ago

Hi Ricky I use an Apro 800 with CbB and previously Sonar Home Studio) and it generally works ok - though for reasons beyond me it occasionally loses connection! In the dropdown do you get a device just names Apro? - if so that is the one you need Once you get set up you'll find that knobs and faders are allocated to specific controls in CbB and softsynths - for the soft synths you can change the assignments - not sure about in CbB itself as I have never tried to change anything

I'm on 1903 but still got the problem - I think caused by a security update to 1903/9

I'd manually installed 4.1.2 last nighas well so manually installed 4.1.3 today. Let's hope everything is fixed now!

Thanks Peter - good work support - I had just installed that update so almost certainly explains my issues. As I installed the updates manually in the end I'll await the Product Manager update which will hopefully resolve the issue

Our posts are crossing Peter - I thought that might be the case re AM - as I say hopefully all will be resolved by the time I need any more updates. Once it works it will be a great step forward

I can understand that 😉 Manual workaround worked fine for me - hopefully all will be sorted by the next time I need to do an update 🙂

Sooo....I found where the Product Manager had installed the updates and ran them manually - now updated but the installation also wanted to install Authorisation Manager - that needs attention Peter!

Ah well - too good to be true - I've just installed the Product Manager and tried to update 4 programmes including ST4 - all seem to be downloading ok though the installation seems suspiciously quick - the menu still shows 'Update' opposite each item and, sure enough on checking ST4 in CbB it shows the earlier version is still installed 😞

That's good to hear - would have really appreciated it when I installed the Total Max 2 bundle earlier this year! Hope everyone gets it to work ok!

If only 😉

Try this (worked for me) or try updating your Bandlab installer

I had the same problem and followed instructions in the thread on the new release to find the .exe file. Worked fine when I double clicked on that. Might also be worth checking if your Bandlab installer needs updating as that seems to have worked for others

I had the Bandlab Assistant hanging problem for the first time with this update. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing to the folder for the installation file!

Also can I ask that you don't bite the hand that feeds you. You have access to an amazing programme,which as i say above is being constantly updated, at no cost - what is not to like?! 🙂

Hi Ken - I understand your suspicions and concerns but don't worry - as far as I know after a couple of years of using CbB all that there is to downloading and installing CbB and it's associate files is a brilliant DAW experience and one that is constantly being updated. Welcome to the club - you'll find lots of people here willing to give advice and help when it's needed - and have the occasional bit of fun along the way!

Answered my own question - went into my account and found a recent update for AGL and a May one for AGSC Oddly CbB hung in the start screen after updating these but a PC restart solved that. Maybe just coincidence?

Hi Jason - is there an update for the Luthier classical too?

I think I got Z3ta via Computer Music magazine IIRC

yeah just found that too once I remembered to use the find command! Just Home Studio - I think I tried a reinstall of Z3ta but might be worth trying again. Not the end of the world if I can't get it working Thanks for the help though - much appreciated again!

Ah found this in the sandbox log file for the effect - presumably I'll find the same for the instrument LogFile: C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Logs\VstScanSandbox.log Saturday, 01 Aug 2020, 16:29:12 Opened Log File ----------------------------- Command line: /VSTRegPerUser/VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64"/Background/NoRescanning/SONARHWND:264430/ScanVst:"f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll"/ToastGuid:{CC4602E0-171B-477A-BE90-C6C2E73C2339} Flag: VSTRegPerUser Flag: VSTRegKey:"Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64" Flag: Background Flag: NoRescanning Flag: SONARHWND:264430 Flag: ScanVst:"f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll" VST to scan - f:\vstplugins\z3ta+\z3ta+_fx2.dll Flag: ToastGuid:{CC4602E0-171B-477A-BE90-C6C2E73C2339} VSTSCAN: ******* Analyzing VST plugins...
