2022.09


Recommended Posts

We're pleased to announce the 2022.09 release! This is primarily a maintenance release that includes fixes for a few user reported issues.

Please note that in order to automatically keep your activation status up to date, Cakewalk will renew your activation status whenever a new version of the application is installed and run for the first time, and when you sign in to BandLab from within Cakewalk. If you have never signed in to BandLab from within Cakewalk, you will be prompted once to sign in. 

Thanks,
The Bakers

Should you need to revert to the 2022.06 release, you can download the Cakewalk 2022.06 Rollback installer.

 


 

2022.09 Highlights

 

Improvements
 

Mono inputs from Patch Points and Aux Tracks

Prior to this release, if a track or bus had an input assigned to a mono input (L/R) from an AUX track or Patch Point, the input would always and include both left and right channels from the patch point when playing back. Patch point inputs now correctly include just the channel specified as a track input.

Note: Existing projects that utilize aux track or patch point mono inputs will sound different because previously these would render as stereo only. If you want them to sound the same as before, you can reassign the input to be stereo. 
 

Reduced minimum project loop length

The minimum project loop length has been reduced to 1/128th note (30 ticks).


Update to élastique SDK 3.4.0

Integrated zplane élastique Pro audio stretching and pitch shifting has been updated to version 3.4.0 with bug fixes and performance enhancements.


Update to latest Microsoft redistributables and compiler

The application is now built using the latest Microsoft tools that include some minor compile time fixes and optimizations.


Application Signing

The application signature has been refreshed to remove dependencies with Symantec certificates. In some cases, this would cause the application to be flagged as unsafe or cause the digital signature to be treated as invalid, potentially causing activation errors.

Additionally, we now sign all DLL files and themes installed by the application to prevent unexpected quarantining by antivirus programs at install time or runtime.

Note: If you do an update install of the application, only the main application and its DLL files will be updated with the new digital signatures. To update all signed components, you will have to run the full application installer.   

 

Optimizations

Improved responsiveness of the application on stopping transport with large projects

The MIDI All Notes Off message is no longer sent to VST plugins on transport stop. This message can be expensive for some plugins (eg Console Emulator) and the symptom was that the application could appear unresponsive for a few seconds after stopping playback, when the project contained a large number of tracks. Since Cakewalk manages all MIDI note on's explicitly, sending note off messages for just those notes, the All Notes Off message is no longer required. This may also improve start/stop responsiveness with other VST instruments.


ProChannel plugins no longer receive MIDI

Some ProChannel modules were requesting MIDI data leading to unnecessary processing lag. MIDI to Prochannel modules has now been blocked.

 

Bug fixes

  •  Application UI is not shown after "Almost done..." message when opening projects containing certain plugins
  • Occasional heap corruption on deleting synth tracks
  • "Nudge by snap" uses Landmarks even with Snap to Landmarks button disabled
  • Regression - unable to use automation shelf tool after making time ruler selection
  • Set Measure/Beat As Now creates duplicate nodes at the end of the tempo envelope
  • Export presets do not recall custom sample rate
  • Export module shows inaccurate elapsed time for selection
  • The ampersand character (&) behaves incorrectly in the track inspector's Description text box
  • Simple Instrument Tracks cause incorrect track numbers when exporting audio
