Hello guys. I would like to propose a feature that will allow the user to make the playhead stationary when playing the track instead of the waveforms moving. This would be very helpful in monitoring tracks. Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to activate any of the Cakewalk products (Sonar, Next, Cakewalk Product Center) but the past few days I have been unable to do so. Whereas I can log in to my Bandlab account via Google Chrome without any problems, trying to do so in order to activate any of the aforementioned products for some reason is something I'm unable to do. Trying to activate any of the products by going into the respective app and selecting whatever equivalent of "Sign into Bandlab to activate" takes me directly to a Bandlab login page, also in Google Chrome. After I log in with the same information I used when logging in regularly, I get this error: "Page not found; A broken link must have lead you here. Go back to the previous page and try again." I have already activated Cakewalk Sonar on two computers and Cakewalk Next on one computer, and I'm only using one at a time (and at most, two). I have yet to use even one install of Cakewalk Product Center but that still gives me the same trouble. I'm primarily a Cakewalk By Bandlab\Cakewalk Sonar user and am not in a position to use anything else for my projects, so this activation error is a serious problem for me. Can someone please help me solve this problem?

I have been seeking Avicii's sound since I was a child. Because he was using Z3TA+. However, I didn't have the money at the time and tried to save up to buy it after I started working in 2020. However, it was already unavailable because the old Cakewalk disbanded in 2017. I really needed Z3TA+2 for my music, so I pulled out my old Windows 10 computer and installed the Steam demo version. Then I exported the CRQ file from there and tried to load it into BandLab Assistant to get the request.dat, but the specs had changed and it looked like Splice and most of the features had been removed. So I installed the Cakewalk Product Center from BandLab and tried Offline Activation, but I got this message and I could not do anything. The CRQ file is invalid for the selected application." I have tried every way possible, but there is no way to legally purchase or even activate it. Furthermore, my main machine, a Apple Silicon Mac, no longer has Z3TA+2 available. What on earth can I do? I have sent an email to BandLab asking them to reinstate it and have not received a reply in a year. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

On my old PC with the same version of Cakewalk, I used to be able to just right click the midi track here circled in red, and in this drop down menu, an option to "Replace Synth for All Tracks Using This Synth..." would appear. This MIDI icon on the track would also have a square outline instead of a flat icon. I don't know how to bring this option back. Also please don't suggest me to use the synth rack view to replace it. The place this option would be listed is shown below:

Puzzlement. I have created a drum instrument with Ross Garfield samples (MyDrumKit001). All good. I load the instrument in an instance of Kontakt 7 and it plays fine clicking the keys on the Kontakt 7 UI. I then opened a Cakewalk project and created a drum map for (MyDrumKit001) for use in that project. I then insert an instrument in the project checking MIDI Source, First Synth Audio Output, and Synth Property Page. The Kontakt Synth Property Page opens and I load (MyDrumKit001). Again, the drums play within the Kontakt7 UI. The Synth Audio output track loads as "Kontakt 7 1 KT st.1" and the input is listed as "Kontakt 7 1 st. 1 : 1+2 S", and the output is listed as "Master". When I click on a key in the Kontakt 7 UI, it shows up on the meter of the Audio Output track. Seems all good. The MIDI Source track loads as "Kontakt 7 1", the input is listed as "Omni", the Output is listed as "7-Kontakt 7 1", and the channel is listed as "None". Seems ready to select the drum map out port, which shows up in the drop-down as 9-DM2-MyDrumKit001* (not sure what the asterisk means). Here's where things get weird. As soon as I select the drum map, the map shows up in the Piano Roll view, BUT... no sound is generated in Cakewalk when clicking in the drum map in Piano Roll. Meter activity is now showing on the MIDI Source track meter, but NOT the Synth Audio Output track meter. I can still hear the drums by clicking keys on the Kontakt instrument UI, but I can't see or hear any audio signal from the Synth Audio Output track even if I add drum events in the drum map in Piano Roll view and hit "Play". When I re-open the Drum Map Manager, the note out ports are still listed as "7-Kontakt 7 1". in Ports and Channels, the Port/Channel is listed as "7-7-Kontakt 7 1 / 10 | Bank: None | Patch: None. I know I'm missing something simple. I just can't figure it out. I'm hoping someone here can find my error Cheers! Al G

Problem Solved - See: I am using CbB with a Roland A-800Pro and a MGear sustain pedal on Win11. This setup has worked for years with no problems. My sustain pedal recently stopped functioning in CbB and I'm going crazy trying to troubleshoot it. It seems that CbB simply stopped seeing the CC data from the input. This MAY be caused by my latest CbB update (2014.07 Build 108), but I can't say with certainty that's the case since I've worked on projects before and after that mostly haven't used sustain at all. Here are some of the things I've tried/considered: 1) MidiOx shows sustain pedal activity (screenshot attached) 2) Pedal works fine with other DAWs 3) Event List in CbB shows no pedal activity while recording or playing 4) I added some sustain events manually in CbB and they play back properly (screenshot attached) 5) Polarity on the pedal wasn't changed and isn't an issue. (see 1-2) 6) This issue may have started with the latest CbB update but I'm unsure 7) I haven't touched any CbB settings in a long time. 8) I've restarted my computer, CbB, and A800Pro multiple times in various orders. Nothing. 9) Based on other sustain pedal threads, I've sifted through all the MIDI functions under Preferences in CbB and everything seems in order. 10) Every other function of my A-800 works fine in CbB and any other DAW. 11) I have no clear reason at this point to suspect either the pedal or A-800 are a factor. I'm just lost. I've spent so much time with this that I'm about ready to just switch DAWs but I've used Cakewalk/Sonar for over 20 years and don't WANT to change. Please save me! 1) Midi Ox 2) Event View in CbB - manual entry

Hello I have Cakewalk 2024.07, build 108 and have noticed that it now will not open some vst3s. I installed a couple of new vst3s about 10 days ago and they open and work fine. Then I tried updating a couple of older, existing vst3s and neither of them would open ( although their vst2 versions would open) I attached a couple of images to show the error I get and my current VST Scan settings. The first link below shows another forum discussion about this subject. Is moving the vst3 still the best solution.? Does the new subscription Cakewalk Sonar have this problem? Thanks for any help. I hope I inserted images and form links correctly. John

ASIO driver stops when resuming from sleep on Windows 10
Raj G posted a topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi, I have been using Cakewalk by Bandlab and it is an amazing program - and the recent updates have been really great. I am having one issue with Cakewalk. I have a Windows 10 PC with a display connected by HDMI. The display provides a sound device through HDMI (which I use but not with Cakewalk). When I put Windows 10 PC to sleep and resume, I get a notification that the sound device connected by HDMI is disconnected and would I like to route outputs to other available devices. This is annoying as I am not using HDMI sound device in the first place. There is a setting to turn off such prompts (which I am using). However, when this happens, the ASIO driver stops working. I have to click on the button to restart the ASIO driver. Cakewalk works fine after that. A few requests: can Cakewalk automatically restart ASIO driver when resuming from sleep? Thanks. Osho -
How to reproduce: - select multiple notes - hold left click on one of them to attempt to change the note length of all selected - only one actually changes I don't know why this happens, it doesn't happen reliably, it just happens sometimes. Can someone please help me

Hallo guys. I'm new with this forum. I've got this issue with my newly downloaded bandlab DAW. I've searched the internet for a solution but I've haven't found one so far. The problem is one some are experiencing which causes a particular project not to open: When I open the project in Safe Mode the dialog says there is a plugin called Groove Player on the LSR Track Bus even though it does not appear among the plugins used in the song. I've found out that it's the Audio Metronome, used as the Audio Metronome engine. It is located in the Shared DXi folder. When not loading this damned plugin in through the safe mode procedure the project opens and everything works fine. But after saving the project again when I reopen it bandlab crushes again because groove player is still detected during safe mode. I've tried a couple of things including regsvr32ing a Groove Player dll, solution offered by a forum user but nothing... But when I save the project (I've saved it under another name, also) and try to open it again it crashes. Could someone help me break this bugging dreadlock because apparently I'm not the only one having this issue but nobody has provided a clear and detailed explanation so far...thank you very much -
Hi, I am new to Cakewalk, and I need to use an already created drumtrack from EZ drummer 3 in Cakewalk and not as 1 track stereo but multiple tracks. Problem seems to be that EZdrummer is not shown in the dropdown menu of inputs possibilities, so I can not choose the right input channel from ezdrummer. I have got: All external inputs, all inputs, virtual controller but no EZ drummer? Meters shows the drum sound on each track, but no recording is done from ezdrummer3 host. Can anyone explain what I have done wrong? Best regards, Peter Sometimes this is shows in the menu, sometimes a few more inputs as what I explained above.

Sorry it's probably a dumb question. I'm a total noob. There's a YouTube video that tells me how to get Cakewalk going, but once I start up Cakewalk, I lose the sound on YouTube. I did a capture of the video, but Winamp and Windows Media lost their sound as well. I get an error message "audio rendering error" or something like that, telling me to reboot my computer. Rebooting does not help. HELP!!! -
Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me here. Just bought myself a Steinberg UR22 Mkii interface and I'm having an issue with Cakewalk only showing 1 channel available, which doesn't even let me record in stereo. Its meant to be a 2x2 USB channel interface. So far its only allowing me to record one channel in mono. Both inputs work BUT only in mono. It plays back in stereo so as far as I can tell its working fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with cakewalk not recognising the channel as stereo?? It gives me the options to choose left, right and stereo but again, only recording the left channel regardless. All new drivers installed and had a firmware update also. I'm running windows 7 (will upgrade to 10 this weekend most likely) Has anybody encountered this before? Thanks guys.

Gentlemen, Please see below. I am PRAYING you can help me with this!! Tried the Asio4all....Cakewalk said right away on startup it wasn't compatible. Maybe you could ask your fellow Cakewalk users? Can't believe I'm the only one with this issue!?! Settings and computer info attached. Aside from this ISSUE, everything else works fine! Edit tracks, add VST's, effects, meters, etc. ISSUE: When I try to record on a new Audio Track, and I enable the orange "Input Echo" button beside the red Arm Record button on that track, it picks up and records ALL other previously recorded tracks as well as the audio I'm trying to record. Also, it starts what sounds like a feedback loop when you increase the volume from the fader on that track (it's NOT actual feedback, as in a guitar or mic close to a speaker). Physical "Mix" setting on the front of the UR22mk11 (Input / DAW) has no effect on the issue, and my monitors are off (just in case someone thought it was feeding back through my monitors). ALL Steinberg/Yamaha Drivers are updated to the latest version. Running latest version of Cakewalk: Version 2024.02 (Build 098, 64 Bit.) ANYTHING you could do to help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thanks in advance, Chris

automation Can't Record Automation With MIDI Controller
Ratthew posted a topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Hi all, I'm using a MIDI keyboard with some rotary knobs (Komplete Kontrol A61) that I want to use to automate a synth. I have it all working properly, using one of the knobs to control the filter cutoff in Vital. However, when I go to record this MIDI information during playback, nothing happens. The knob continues to work and I can hear it controlling the filter, but Cakewalk doesn't record any of the movement into the automation lane. Though when I control the filter with my mouse during playback, Cakewalk does record the information. Would really appreciate some help with this as I can't find any fix online! I've attached a photo of how I've got everything setup. I'm using Mackie Control in Cakewalk. Thanks, Tom..thumb.png.d102bbcf3829a73746d2471b1380f7ff.png)

Hello. I make simple mashups of songs for local drag shows. I am working with an mp3 that I am wanting to have slide up in pitch to transition into the next song which is in a higher key. All I am trying to do is make the final few seconds of the track slide up in pitch gradually, but quickly. I was hoping there was a way to apply keyframes to a pitch shift plugin similar to how volume automation works, however I cant figure out a way to have an effect come in on one clip, only how to apply it to the entire clip. I am new to Cakewalk to be patient, and keep it simple if possible. I don't need anything fancy.

So I had the "not responding problem" that some people are also getting. I figured out it has to do with the audio input and output. I originally had it set to Fl studio, after unchecking everything the app worked as it should. Only problem is I don't know which audio input and output to choose so I can actually hear. Can someone lead me to the right direction please? thanks *edit: I just checked voicemeter aux for input and output and it seems to work fine now.

Cakewalk / Helix Native / Chocolate Midi Foot Controller = No sound
guitarzan007 posted a question in Q&A
Hi. I'm trying to use a Chocolate Midi Foot Controller to change the SnapShots in Helix Native. The good news is (after following a Youtube video very closely) I got the pedals to change the snapshots. The bad news is I've got no sound! Argh! If I just put in a regular audio track and turn on "Input Echo" the sound plays through me UR22 Audio Interface and sounds great, but when I do the "split instrument track" setting (so I can use the foot switches) no sound comes out. Please help! I'm using Windows 10, a Steinberg UR22 USB Audio Interface, and of course Cakewalk and Helix Native. Here's what I did, and what I'm seeing: 1) I created an Instrument track in Cakewalk and for the instrument I chose VST3/Line6/Helix Native. 2) For Input, I'm using "USB -Midi /Midi Channel 1" The other options it gives me are: All Inputs, 2-Steinberg UR22-1. or Virtual Controller. 3) In the Advanced setting, I chose "Split Instrument Track". At the bottom of the 'Add Track" window, the Output is listed as "Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: UR22" 4) Within the Helix Window, I chose VST and make sure Enable Midi is checked. Note- It is greyed out, but it is checked. 5) I then clicked Plug in properties and make sure the boxes are checked for "Enable as Plug-in" and " Configure as Synth" It seems like I must have something wrong with it going from the UR22, but I'm not sure what, or where I would change that. Either that, or I'm just missing a simple step in Cakewalk. Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts, I'd really appreciate it. I spent all day trying to solve this and got nowhere. Just for reference, here is the Youtube video I followed. From what I can tell, the ONLY thing I'm doing differently than the Youtube video is that they are using bluetooth for their controller and I'm using a USB cable. Since the switches are doing what they are supposed to, I'm assuming that isn't the problem. Thanks again!!! -
I have CAKEWALK installed in C:\ Drive. I noticed a folder in my D:\ Drive named SONAR. I deleted that folder but everytime I launch Cakewalk that same folder is created again in D:\ Drive. Anyone knows why this happens and how can I DELETE that folder permanently? Thanks. -
Hi folks! Recording yourself in a comfortable environment with good acoustics is crucial - but how can you control your DAW? In this video I show how to control Cakewalk by Bandlab using an Android phone! WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/6ndfakrS6Gw- 21 replies

I wanted to test out changing the hertz for a solo black metal album I want to make, but I can't get the bass midi to change to 420 without having to screw with Melodyne and duct tape fix it to my cakewalk track. I have to go in Melodyne and individually pitch shift every single note, and that is incredibly tedious. Is there an easier way? -
Moving midi notes around in Piano Roll is causing Cakewalk to shut down completely. Could there be any setting in Preferences that might be the issue I should look at further? This is my only issue at this point, so any feedback would be great! -
I have a legacy (and life-time) SONAR Producer setup. I would also like to do tutorial and demonstration work for users of BandLab Cakewalk, the free version. Is it possible to install that side-by-side with my SONAR installation? If not, do I have to use a completely different computer to avoid conflicts, especially over registry settings.
