Can’t Save CW Project To BL

[Ken Newton]

Hello again, Ladies and Gentlemen,

First, I want to thank you all again for your responses to my questions, I hope y’all not snickering up your sleeves to be privy to my inexperience…you’ve been very helpful.

Today’s dilemma: I can’t save, or is export the correct word? a Cakewalk project to BandLab.  I had been able to until last week, so probably I pressed a wrong button or two.  Of course there are dozens of possible settings that need to be checked then change, so I can’t possibly list every single setting, here.  I go through the motions, and get that happy “successful!” message.  Then I click “Preview”, and it doesn’t arrive.  All of the tracks are there, named as I named them, but all of the tracks are empty.  After trying dozens of things dozens of times, I have also gotten the “Mix” track, yet it doesn’t contain the actual mix, it only contains one single track, in this case, the bass track (that’s neither here nor there).  I AM able to export the project as an .mp3 file, and it sounds like the way that I mixed it in its raw state.  I’d love to hear what y’all have to say.  Thanks again! -Ken

Are you attempting to upload a finished song to the Bandlab site? Or is this a project so you can continue working on it using the Bandlab App?  

[Ken Newton]

The latter.

(I’m in the hospital, just had back surgery).  Yes, what I do is create tracks in CW, save them to CW and then publish them to BL.  Then I can take my iPad outside, play with the tracks and the mix to get ideas.  But now I can’t do that.

OK, Sorry have no clue about the app. Out of curiosity I followed the instructions and it did seem to do something and like you said it said I had successfully uploaded a project. But it when I clicked on the Blue Toast that said view On Line I got a page with nothing happening other than wanting me to sign up which is odd because I do believe I am?  I would suggest you keep trying. There is next to zero info abut how to do this and that info certainly got me no where.

Perchance is your Cakewalk out of date? If it needs renewing, you won't be able to save in CbB, so possibly can't save to Bandlab, too.
Naw, I doubt that both of you are expired, 🤷‍♂️

I think I found the solution to my problem.  Stopping and re-starting the audio engine has been allowing me to publish a Cakewalk project to BandLab.  Hopefully this is the end of this story.  Thanks to all who have read and responded.
