If I understand your issue here, using a MOTU 5in/5out midi interface I have had none of these problems. If all of your devices have the 5 pin midi port connections then you could use that and all of your names would remain constant. The devices do not even have to be on when you boot cakewalk. They will always be on the port number you have connected the device to. You can change each port name to the name of your device & cakewalk will always get it right.

(So looking back now I guess I am agreeing with some of the answers above)

I was reading on the internet that acute liver failure can occur in as little as 48 hrs.

The ugly ones take a little longer.

I wanted to add as a comment that when I saw David Crosby perform  (the last time for me) he played the song Delta. One of his best I think. Before he started the song he told a story about how he was with Jackson Browne when he wrote the song. It was during the period, as he said, he was a "Junkie". Crosby talked about how he wanted to get up and get more drugs but Jackson made him promise to finish the song first. So with the help of Jackson Browne we got Delta.

There is a part of the song that goes:

"I love the child
Who steers this riverboat
But lately he's crazy
For the deep"

I always figured it was a self reference - now I think it was about the drugs.

David Crosby later said that the police saved his life when they arrested him.

I only had one problem & for me that was not being able to get the NanoKontrol driver to work.

(that's just one guy though)

Two screens are great. I use one for lyrics when I am singing.

At one point while I was still working I had three.

But most of the time, one large one works for me.

One older man was asked what his secret to longevity was. He said:

I have a bowel movement every morning at 7:00........ Then I get out of bed.

Something I did not know when I got married:

I've got a really dirty wife.

But she promises to shower soon.

I told my wife I was sorry I was boring her to death.

I mean really there must be a faster way ?

It's really frustrating looking back on my youth, thinking about a time when I thought I knew everything, now that I actually do.

Saw CS&N about 10 years ago in San Diego (Humphrey's outdoor venue). C&N were fabulous but S could not sing a note on key the whole night.

Saw David Crosby just before the Pandemic. It was David with his own band. It was great but somehow I knew it would be the last time.

CSN was kind of variable - when they got it, it was very good. Sometimes it was magic, But song to song you never knew.

I saw them do an acoustic gig once - it was amazing.

To me the greatest song writer ever.

This is the man I would credit for my interest in music from the beginning.

Those are the best kind of puns. It did me, too.

I repeat myself here but it took me an embarrassingly long time to get:

A man walks into a bar - ouch.

Not true... You can use Linked Clips... With linked clips edit one clips and all others will have the same edits across different tracks...

And as far as MIDIChFilter, it does work quite well... (Thanks @scook) I set it up with just one instance and was able to drive three different sets of soft and hardware synths... I used three different midi channels with the same instance of MIDIChFilter...

But, for the record I am all for expanded midi capability... Feature Request: Add Midi Sends and Midi Aux Tracks

I've found that linked clips slow the machine down.

Very bad - in a good way.

How many legs does a dog have if you count the tail as a leg?

Four — calling the tail a leg doesn't make it one.

Yeah windows can be a pain that way, sometimes if you breathe the file dates seem to change.

I started dating my song files recently - nobody else was interested.

Actually I like to just look at the bindings themselves, that works for me. But thanks.

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's my own damn fault.

That would be my favorite from that song.

"First One says she's got my child but it don't look like me" - Dead

"it's alright we told you what to dream"

(For the Floyd fans)

Car rental prices have gotten so out of hand that when you see the bill it hertz.

Little feat -old folks boogie (this is the best line, but it's really the whole song)

"And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill"
