Gunnar Åkerlund Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I haven´t been using Cakewalk for a while and when I started my Cakewalk computer I got a notice that I need to connect or stay in Demo-mode. I let the Bandlab assistant upgrade. Now some of my Modules like Tool, Snap and Transport is not working. Say I try to change the tempo or try to play. Noting happens. The controls doen´t react. All other clickingseems to work. I´m using Win7 on Parallells on my Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Nicholls Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Cakewalk By Bandlab does need to check in with home base every couple of months or it will revert to demo mode.... That said, your problem might be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnar Åkerlund Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 The uppgrade went fine and Demo mode is no more but still the program is not working as it use to. See my first post. Would like to know how to fix it!! Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know Cakewalk by BandLab is a Windows only application. Running it on a Mac through Parallels Desktop might work, but there’s certainly no guarantee coming from Cakewalk that it does. Have you upgraded to macOS 10.15 Catalina? And if so, are you running the latest version of Parallels Desktop that supports it (version 15)? Even so, there seems to be a long list of known issues that has yet to be addressed in an upcoming release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnar Åkerlund Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I haven´t changed anything in the Mac or Windows areas of my computer. Only upgraded Cakewalk. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hey @Gunnar Åkerlund! We typically recommend Mac users to run BootCamp with a Windows partition. This will provide the best integration experience for users who need to run Windows on their Mac. Booting separately for each OS is also quite a bit less resource intensive, compared to having both OS's running with Parallels. While Windows 7 support is also dwindling, it would still be good to get some additional info from you regarding the issues you're experiencing so we can try to reproduce anything on our end. Feel free to drop me a line at support@cakewalk.com with details or even a short video so we can help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
