@icu81b4 it is more likely a plugin in the project. Try opening the project in safe mode rejecting plugins in turn until it doesn't crash.

@Chaps as was stated in an earlier post, Overloud's Guitar sim has a tuner built in to its GUI.

@Shaan I have to ask have you considered why the track(s) not in focus is darker and more transparent. You do know you can display a list of the tracks on the right of the PRV this allows you to quickly switch between tracks. You can also use that list so that only one track, the focus track, is visible at one time. Most software I use that allows the display of multiple tracks, only the focus track is front and centre, the others are either grey (Melodyne) or darkly transparent.

@Howard B you need to clarify which version of software you are using, either; Cakewalk by Bandlab, which will cease issuing reactivation codes after the 1st of August 2025 Or Cakewalk Sonar free or subscription, both of which will require reactivation every 30 days.

No, Aux tracks appear to be available in the Free tier. @David Baay that works, it's how I would do it. What I was trying to point out is using an Aux track is the preferred method, then directing the metronometo it.

@pozzioThe method suggested by @mark skinner is the recommended method.

@devakes are the "missing" plugins directory in the VST scanner scan paths, I suspect not. Provided you installed the VST3 versions try a reset and rescan of your plugins. Say yes to the scary message it asks.

The Overloud guitar amp SIM VST plugin has a guitar tuner as part of its GUI.

@Jerry Pellegrino the reason for the visual difference is how the GUI is generated. CbB uses PNG & BMP images. Cakewalk Sonar uses vector graphics.

@AB99 96 gig should not give you any issues, do you also having a separate projects drive?

Memory limitation, i.e. a machine with only 8 gig of RAM with two projects both using large sample libraries of even as small as 3 gig each. The OS takes around 4, plus the 6 from the projects is 10 not including the projects themselves. I suspect there would be some disk thrashing if you kept swapping between projects. Whilst most people have larger RAM amounts some people still use machines with only 8gig.

Thanks Tom, he continues to be slightly disoriented something about one beat to many.

As already noted more information about your system please?

They should be, remind the mods if they are not!

Been away for a bit my computer develope i9 14900K Intel rot. Here is an experiment were the drummer never quite got it or did he? Toys Instruments Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 Hitmaker Kit Dry EZBass Classic Rock Clean Di - Pick B Gforce OBX Cherry Audio Mercury 6 P-10 FX Arturia Chorus Dimension-D Boz Digital +10dB Compressor

Another Edwardo classic. Honestly not keen on the double tracked vocal on the verses, works on the chorus other then that a well produced and mixed tune.

Nice sounding mix and production, good vocal.

You may want to read the rules on bumping posts. Nice.

You usual quality Nigel.

Nice Peter, clean mix.

Nice, cool mix.

@aleo I have noticed historically Envelopes can get the knickers in a twist when superimposed over the track clip, have you tried clicking on the Envelope gadget Bottom left of the Track to expand the Envelope into its own lane. The other thing to look for is duplicated or spurious Nodes

@aleo have you reported these to support with an example project?

@User 905133 disabled automatic updates, then create a restore point before applying the update. Personally I do that for all OS, driver, and critical application updates.

As far as I can establish the reactivation proccess is exactly the same. If you use the product regularly, with your computer online then reactivation will occur automatically. If you prefer to remain isolated by keeping your computer offline, then reactivation is possible through the CPC, offline proccess. However I have to say I have no experience of how to use the offline activation as my machine stays online, when it is on. Just use a good AV/anti malware product, stay away from click bait, stay way from websites of questionable content. Microsoft defender is a perfectly good product. Personally I use Malwarebytes.
