Thank you both for your replies. Regards Gerry.

When I went into my Cakewalk today, I got the following message " Activation Required.....Cakewalk must be reactivated within 10 days. Update activation status before time runs out. " What is this all about?????? Does anyone know what is happening? I have had Cakewalk for about 20 years and have paid for version that I have until BandLab took over. Never seen anything like this. What is the procedure for reactivation? I am at a loss. Any help and clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for anyone's response and help. Regards Gerry

Processor...Intel Core i3 cpu 3.20GHz. Ram 8GB Interface....Motu M2

Sorry also Toontrack plug-ins...EZ Keys...EZ Drummer and EZ Bass.

What info do you need? Windows 10 Cakewalk version 2022.06 build 034. 64 bit

There are no plug-ins involved. Just midi and/or audio instrument files.

I am continuously getting " AUDIO DROPOUT " messages when trying to run a project. As per the instructions I try to increase the latency but the system will not allow me to increase past 512. I also noticed that my audio interface is set at 512. Could this be the problem? Or is the system the issue?

Thank you All for your replies and valuable information. This is the first time had encountered the problem and I could NOT change the buffer size. However, following some of the comments, I was able to change the buffer size and as of now the situation has not happened again. Again, thank you all for your replies, info and tips. Much appreciated. Gerry.

I am currently working on a project ( 8 bars only at this point ) and when I try to play and replay the section, I am CONSTANTLY getting an " AUDIO ENGINE DROPOUT " message. The message is # 1 which is related to the buffer size. When I try to increase the buffer size from the system's 5.8msec, the system will not allow me to do it. What ever the number I try to increase it to, the system brings me back to 5.8msec. What seems to be the problem and how can the issue be resolved? It is getting very frustrating when you can't even play 8 bars without interruption!!!!!!! And this is only the beginning of the project....... Thank you in advance for your cooperation and any replies. This is a recurring issue that I have had in the past..................

I am probably very dumb.....but I cannot find the WORKSPACE MENU...... Sorry Gerry

Thank you for the info, but where do I find " basic Workplace " I looked and cannot find it. And another thing I noticed, when starting a new project, in the template area, the only thing that appears is the word BASIC. Before this update, whenever I strated a new project, I had a whole list of options. Now they are gone. Should I return to an older version? Thank you for any help. Regards Gerry

Has anyone encountered any issues when opening a new project with the latest update? I can't get any of the choices for a new session.....the synth rack is screwed up.....I get a blank screen with no tracks.....etc...etc... What did they do? Thank you for any help. Much appreciated. Gerry

Thank you all. Problem solved. Somehow just found a little icon called INTERLEAVE and by clicking on it you get either mono or stereo track. Regards

It seems that more than nornal, people are having issues with the latest update. Should I wait for the next one? Thank you all.
