Hi. I just got the Joel Blanco Berg brass (great instruments to have if you have Phaseplant). These are solo patches, some of which are designed to create ensembles. So I wanted to create a brass ensemble by opening several Phaseplant sessions while telling myself that I could control these with just a single midi track, but well no, I haven't found how to do that like in this video: So is it me who doesn't know how to do it, or is it only possible by duplicating the track X times? I tried an alternative using the Reason Rack's midi out option. So I created a Reason track with several midi out racks with different channels. I configured the midi channels of my Phaseplant tracks accordingly while defining that the midi controller for the input of these tracks was Reason. I understood that for this to work you had to have the input echo button activated on Phaseplant. It works this way, but another problem arose, I can only control the modulation and pitch bend on channel 1. I think that for this second problem, only a Reason expert could help me. Help please!

For my part, I don't really have any problems with the "new" Cakewalk interface. On the other hand, it might be time to rework the submenus. The cursors, buttons and co in Windows 95/Vista style are very dated. I also hope for the disappearance of the Vista Smartglass type frame when you reduce the working window to display several projects at the same time.

It is false, they survived: https://www.gibson.com/en-US/ But as I said above, for those like me who had subscribed to a lifetime subscription, we should have sued Gibson for deception on the goods. But asking Bandlab for a special price, No, I don't see how a contract with Gibson would concern Bandlab, Bandlab owes us nothing (rather, we owe Bandlab for saving our DAW).

Since we're bringing back the Sonar name, why not reintroduce an updated version of Studioware? A system with modules, like FL Studio's Patcher?

I also bought the Sonar lifetime subscription, but that was under the Gibson era. I don't see why Bandlab should honor a contract I made with Gibson, we should have sued Gibson at the time. I understand Bandlab wanting to do business with the DAW they bought very expensive in the hands of Gibson, and besides I never understood Cakewalk's free policy, even if I took advantage of it. Me, I'm willing to pay to thank the saviors of my DAW, but I'm also willing to change DAW if they goes into a subscription policy at all. Sorry, I just skimmed the thread, I don't know if the question is decided?

Thank you @DallasSteve, your thread allowed me to understand (even if it was not the goal) how to enter midi in Ovox, via the vst3 button. I think it will also help me on another plugin with which I have the same problem, but this time to send midi.

Hello. I recently became a user of the Reason environment, and I use the Rack under Cakewalk. That's how I discovered the power of a modular interface that creates interactions between different plugins. I know that there are this kind of interfaces in several DAWs, like Bitwig, Ableton Live, FL Studio ... but it is lacking in Cakewalk, or in a less extensive way. I thought it would be cool to evolve Cakewalk's FX Chain in this direction and allow it to accommodate instruments, midi plugins ... to create more complex things. Yes, I already have the Reason Rack and I know that there are alternatives (VST host), but Rack only takes compatible plugins and it's always better to have something integrated into your sequencer. If the developers hear me, what do you think of my idea?

Ok, it works perfectly now, but it's weird, I was sure I had tried this before. Well anyway it works, thank you mr msmcleod, and be careful if someone walks around with a sword saying "there can be only one". ?

Oh ! A guy who followed the same route as me looks like? I started to compose my first sounds on Atari / Amiga and Protracker, then on Octamed (which could play both the samples of the usual trackers, like the midi) before coming to PC with Cakewalk. Surely there are programs for converting tracker files to midi, or is there a modern tracker called Renoise that maybe can play and convert these old files.

OMG! me who thought I was one of the oldest guys on this forum, you just showed me that this is not the case. Even your headphone is almost as old as me. ? I started the adventure in the 90's with Cakewalk Express, then I got down to business with Cakewalk Pro Audio. The only thing that I regret and that I find that we have taken a step back is the stopping of Studioware. The possibility of creating your own interface to control your external midi machines, but what a genius idea! If there is one thing that I would like the Bandlab team to re-integrate and in a modern way, this is it. In any case, happy to count you among the Cakewalk users, long life to you and to CbB!

Thanks for wanting to help me @Will_Kaydo, but apparently that's not it. This effectively opens the part of the track dedicated to automations, but when I close this part, I no longer see all the automation contained in the track and which should be visible on a single line with the note information. Automation track open: Automation track closed:

Hello. I have a classical music project that I have been working on for several weeks, it has a lot of complex automation curves. One day, without my noticing it, all these curves disappeared from the main window, but are still activated and visible if I open each automation icon of each track. Everything works fine, but not seeing them in the main page, it's annoying and disrupts my workflow a bit. Am I unintentionally doing a keystroke again and making these lines disappear, or is this really a bug? I did not find in the settings the way to make them visible, please help me. For information in case it is a bug, I use the last version dated Cakewalk (2021.01 build 98 64bit). Edit : I just found out that the problem is with Cakewalk as a whole, not just my current project. I must have done a bad manipulation, but which one?

Thanks @Promidi but I know about it, and you will notice that my thread is almost 2 years old now. ? I am really happy that this feature has finally been implemented, thanks to the Bandlab team.

Hello. I can't seem to put multiple articulations on different lines. For this to be possible, Do I have to create several groups of articulations of the same instrument?

Cakewalk developers are gradually optimizing the DAW workflow. We can now assign all the outputs of a VSTI to several instrument tracks, and therefore put several audio effects on them. Everything is now clear and combined, audio, midi and effects in one track ... except the midi effects. I had already made the request before and therefore I join frankly the point of view of @Matthew Carr, it is necessary to continue in this perspective of combination, a track to control everything rather than being lost in the menus.

I already made the request on the forum, and it is the only thing which could make me quit Cakewalk, because the instruments based on keyswitchs are often used. I think we should move this post (or another on the subject) to the top of the list as often as possible, so that it is visible by the developers and so that they understand that it is an essential option for a Modern DAW. Cakewalk was a DAW ahead of its time, but since its fall and the takeover by Bandlab, I feel like it's stagnating. Of course I thank Bandlab for saving my program from disappearance and updating it against bugs and other things. But my feeling about the options they're adding here and there, while welcome, is that they don't revolutionize the way we work either. We need new options to work with our new tools (Keyswitch manager, MPE, midi 2.0, NKS compatible, vector interface ... (bring me back Studioware ?)). I would be willing to pay to have my DAW really up to date technologically.

Like you, I envy the other DAWs and wait for the developers of Bandlab to give us the gift of implementing an Expression Map like. It is also one of the elements that could make me leave Cakewalk after decades of loyalty. Especially since now Studio One also has a keyswitch manager, like Cubase (of course), FL Studio, Reaper, Logic ... While waiting for the Bandlab team to reward us with such a tool, there is the drum map solution, which for my taste is quite constraining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSMtr5u1KpM

Hello. My dedicated graphic card recently stopped working properly and I had to fall back on the GPU included with my processor (core i7 4790k). The problem is that every time I exit Cakewalk while playing to go to a web page (for example) I hear crackling noises, as if every action I do in the image affects the sound. I told myself that my CPU / GPU has trouble managing the image and calculating the VSTI and DTD at the same time. But when my computer goes to sleep mode and I turn it back on, I have a message from Cakewalk saying that the Intel audio / midi device has been disconnected, and that it wants to route the outputs bla bla bla ... I do not understand why it speaks to me of Intel audio / midi when Cakewalk is fully configured on my dedicated sound interface (Motu 828 mk3)? So how do I make Cakewalk stop interacting with the Intel audio / midi device (my CPU / GPU) when it is not activated in the settings? Best regards.

Hello As said in another post, believing that my audio interface was not working (motu 828 mk3), I was making sound with the internal card of my motherboard and asio4all. But I discovered that the problem came from Something else, so I put my Motu back in function, but now I'm having a new problem. I try to configure my machine (core I7 4790k, 16gb of ram) and my interface with Cakewalk, but it's hard for me to have a clean sound without parasites. The only times I get a correct sound is when I has turn off the management of multi core. I do not understand, I feel that everything worked better with the sound of the motherboard than my professional interface. Does this come from the Motu or is my core I7 no longer able to make Cakewalk work properly, or is this Cakewalk itself? I don't know what to do, I think it's Cakewalk the culprit and I'm about to quit the adventure with this DAW that I use for decades, so please prove me that I'm wrong and reconcile me with my DAW. Best regards.

Thank you for your clear and precise answer Scook. Effectively putting the Non-Linear option solves the problem for LP-EQ. But what should I do if I don't have that kind of option in a plugin like for Vocal Doubler for example? And why is the problem there, even on tracks not affected by the plugin?

Hello! For years I thought that my audio interface Motu 828 mk3 no longer worked, while it was my microphone that was dead. Today I try to put my home studio back on, integrating my two old external synths through Cakewalk and my Motu. So I clicked input echo to be able to apply the Cakewalk plugins in real time on my external synths, I lowered the latency in the asio drivers, and I muted the inputs on the interface so as not to have some kind of chorus effect. Everything worked well until I added some plugins like Izotope Vocal Doubler, or the Cakewalk L-Phase EQ (LP-EQ). I don't know why, but its two plugins (and probably others) generate a monstrous latency on the input echo tracks, even if they are not on the tracks in question. Is there a solution to the problem or is it a Cakewalk bug? Another problem, it seems that in the project settings I can not put the clock on internal, obviously the option comes back every time on the audio clock.

I know it's really too late to ask this question, especially as the CAL/Studioware has been abandoned for a long time ago, but I don't understand why it all remains hidden if it's functional? It's just a line in the menus, why not hand over the Studioware editor to those to whom it's useful?

How do you created custom Studioware Panels when they are not accessible?

As mentioned above, if I did not opt for the Midiquest solution, it is because I find that the software is far too expensive for the poor person That I am (399$). But it is true that it seems to be a powerful tool and I admit to being charmed by the vst option. It must be cool to control the hardware via a plugin as if it were a vsti, and with an interface more user-friendly than the small LCD screens of my machines.

I know there was the ability to program CAL scripts to do complex things Cakewalk and in Studioware panels, but maybe a simplified version of the tool like FX Chain could be done, no?
