Thanks for the help!

I've recently reset up my studio gear. Updated to Cakewalk (from Sonar). Updated about 25 plug ins (Toontrack, Real Guitars, Native Instruments) My plugins (FX, Softsynths) show a garbage list on the right side of Cakewalk. There's old 32 bit programs listed )B4, Guitar Rig 2&3) etc If I delete something from the list and screw up - is there a way to get it back? Or - if I set up a new list, do I have control over what heading something will be under?

Thanks for that video - my Control Centre screens look exactly like the defaults they show And I double checked the manual - and the set up out of the box should work (they say) Thanks for helping

TO msmcleod Thanks for helping If you mean Focusrite Control - Inputs show Analogue 1&2 - choices are line,inst, air, pad - inst,air,pad are blank, analogue is greyed i Outputs shows analoge 1&2 with a green slider (won't slide up) To the right 2 more boxes (1&2) grey Manual seemed to indicate a "generic" set up would be good to start - maybe not so much

Really appreciate you guys trying to help me Focusrite is the only audio interface checked in Cakewalk that I ca see - master output is Focusrite USB ASIO Output 1 Not sure I understan what you mean by signal path - Cakewalk USB to Focusrite - analog outs 1&2 to my amp - the only thing on the amp (SLA-1) there are 2 ins & 2 outs

Looking for some help Been away for some time I upgraded my machine to an i9 with 16GB & 2 SSD 1Terabyte drives I was on an i7, with platter drives Both machines were running Win10Pro I had the drives “cloned” hoping to avoid massive reinstalls My i7 was running a Firewire MAudio 2626 So I just got around to firing up my studio software which was Sonar Platinum. Control Centre suggested an update – which crashed. The suggested rollback toasted Sonar. The forum guys laughed at me & said to download & install Cakewalk by Bandlab – which I did I loaded a previous file & hit play. No sound. I couldn’t tell you why I did things in this order, but I did. My first assumption was that my new machine was not compatible with MAudio’s old driver. Looking for a new one I discovered there wasn’t one, and a lot of people in the 2 forums were ranting about MAudio “abandoning” their users. I figured Firewire was done anyway, so I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and set it up. No sound from my monitors, but the head phone jack works. I have no idea if the MAudio headphone jack was working – I never checked. If the headphones are working, it must be the amp, right? Or the cables. Bought a new amp, hooked it up – it’s not the amp or cables So now I’m back to thinking it’s a Windows setting. I also “toggled” my taskbar speaker setting Using Device Manager I can tell you this: Under Audio inputs and outputs I have: Analogue 1+2 (Focusrite USB Audio) Realtek Digital Output (Realtel High Definition audio) Speakers (Focusrite USB Audio) Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Another heading in Device Manager is: Focusrite Audio Scarlett 18i20 USB Software Root USB Software Root Cakewalk Preferences Audio devices – Input& output – I checked averything available Focusrite usb ASIO 1-7, loop and playback Digital 1,3,5,7.9 Driver settings are Focusrite USB ASIO output & input 1 Midi device in & out = Focusrite USB midi Sorry about the essay - anyone have any ideas to fix this?? Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for the help Colin & John. I'll check out your suggestions & get back to you To John - yes, I have been away from this for a few years. I thought Bandlab just carried on from Cakewalk & the updates would as well. Looks like I've got some work to do

I started up Control Centre & tried to update Sonar Platinum It's been awhile, so encountering a problem was not unexpected but... It crashed on the message below, and after "retry" I clicked "Abort". It said it would roll back, but I've lost Sonar altogether The message was: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\CW120Auto.dll Unable to register the DLL\OCX:RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3 Has anybody seen this? Any idea how to fix it? Any help greatly appreciated
