Hi all! Setup ... Turn Auto Track Zoom ON. When I use my Control Surface to move to Next or Prev track, and that track is in a Collapsed folder, Cakewalk moves to the correct track but doesn't Expand the folder for me to see the track. I'm requesting this functionality be considered for a future version. In fact, I feel it's a deficiency (defect) in the Auto Track Zoom feature. The Auto Track Zoom feature would also Collapse the current folder when it moves to a track in a different folder, and of course, then Expand that new folder. Ideally, this feature might be included in the Preferences or Track Options. Thanks for your consideration! Tom

Thanks for confirming my results. Interestingly, Cakewalk does indeed go to the Next or Prev track. But it doesn't Expand the Folder to show the track. Tom

Hi Bassman, Thanks for going to the trouble of creating and posting a video. Looks like the difference is that my folders are all Closed by default. Yours are expanded. I agree, it works if the folders are already expanded. I'm asking for o automatically expand the folder if Next or Previous track goes to a track in a Closed folder. Tom

Hi Bassman! Agreed the first track must be clicked on by the mouse. But if the next or previous tracks are inside Folders, the Folder doesn't expand to show the track. Works fine for tracks outside of Folders, or for tracks within a single folder. Doesn't work when tracks are inside multiple folders. Tom

Hi All, I'm using Auto Track Zoom in a project that has multiple tracks in multiple folders. When I use my MIDI Controller's Next Track or Previous Track function, Cakewalk won't Auto Zoom to the track if it's in a Closed Folder. I would like it to Open a Closed Folder and Auto Zoom the nested track. And if could Close the Folder when I move from the last nested track to the first nested track of the next Closed Folder and Open that one3, that'd be perfect for my workflow. Mind you, Cakewalk does indeed move to the appropriate track using the Next and Previous Track functions on my Controller. But it doesn't Auto Zoom the track. The Folder holding the track remains Closed. Does Auto Zoom work with your controller? Is it possible it's only a problem with my Controller? Nektar Impact LX88+. Thanks for any insight! Tom

I resolved the issue by using the Replace Synth feature for each instrument that's in Discover and deleting the instruments that aren't. End result works perfectly!

Nope, it's not present.

Thanks. I'll do that if no one replies here after a day or two.

I realize I'm quite late to this thread. Hopefully, the OP is still around and can assist. I only own BBCSO Discover. Seems the template is built for Core. I'm able to load the template and Connect synths in the Rack, but I don't get any sound. I made sure all MIDI, Instrument, and Busses are routed properly for my system, but still no audio. From watching the Spitfire video on Mode Switching, it would seem that it's merely a simple matter of selecting "Discover" as the Mode in the VST plugin. Unfortunately, I don't see the Mode dropdown in the Discover edition. Am I out of luck in using the template? Thanks! Tom

Hi All, I searched the topic and the forum ahd couldn't find this specific issue. Of course I may have missed it, so I apologize if it's already been covered. When exporting to MP3 I may set the bit depth to something other than the new default of 256. When I export the next clip, I'd like my previous selection to persist. Instead, it goes back to the default of 256. Can we get the setting to persist, at least in the same session? And maybe the default setting can be changed by the user in Preferences? Thanks! Tom

Another vote for hitting the Enter Key! Forcing me to use the mouse is too slow. Further, Tabbing through the fields is useless. No highlight of which field is current, wrong order, etc. Please improve for the next release. Thanks!

Thanks, Kevin. The template is being saved in the right folder, that is, the one specified in the Template Folder option.

Workaround Sort Of? If I start a new project from a template, add an Instrument Track, and re-save the template, new projects based on the template don't include the Instrument Track. If however, after starting the new project from a template and adding an Instrument Track, if I first save it as a Normal (CWP) project, it seems I can then save it as a Template, and the next time I start a project based on that template, it includes the Instrument Track. OTOH, this didn't always seem to work. I had to do save as a Normal project more than once before I could successfully save it as a Template. I also noticed that my MIDI Track Settings (Input & Output) didn't always persist. That, too, seems dependent on saving as a Normal project at least once or twice before it would save correctly as a Template. It all seems very odd, and I have no explanation. Maybe I'm just lucky ... or unlucky. Thanks, Tom

SOLVED I Uninstalled and Reinstalled. Problem solved. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the reply. The Metronome drop downs are populated, but still no audible metronome. I used the SHIFT+launch option but no Metronome. I also used the CTRL+launch option but still no Metronome sound. I've tried sending to a different Output, including Master, but no audible metronome. I also tried sending directly to all my audio interface outputs, but it makes no difference. Any other thoughts?

Hello! I'm using Cakewalk 2021.06. I start a new project based on the Basic template: one audio track, one MIDI track. I Arm the audio track. I turn Metronome On during Recording. I hit Record. No metronome sound is heard, though audio is recorded and plays back correctly. I reviewed the Metronome settings. I'm using Ping Hi/Low and sending to the Metronome Bus. The Metronome Bus is outputting to the Master Bus, which in turn is outputting to my Audient iD44's first audio outputs. The Metronome WAV files are in the correct path; "C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Metronome" I registered GroovePlayer.dll per Noel's instructions in another thread. It reported Success. GroovePlayer shows up in the Plug-In Manager under DirectX Instruments. It's not Excluded. It shows the correct path, filename, and CLSID. GroovePlayer does NOT show up in the Plug-In Browser under any category within Instruments. Should it? I'm at a complete loss. Can anyone check to see if the Audio Metronome is working for them? I suspect it does and the problem is on my system only. Thanks for any advice! Tom

Hello! I'm using release 2021.06 of Cakewalk by Bandlab. I have a project file with an Instrument Track (True Piano). I saved the project as a Template. If I start a new project from the template, the Instrument track is missing. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a limitation of project templates? Thanks for any advice. Tom

FYI, I'm now working with a much newer Control Surface, the Nektar Impact LX88+, and Cakewalk is behaving as I expected. Auto Zoom correctly zooms in on the selected track when clicking with the mouse AND moving from track to track with the Surface controls. Regards, Tom

Hello to the Community! This is my first post to these forums, but I was very active on the old Cakewalk forums for years. I hope to run into some of those users here! On to my question. I searched for an answer to it, but didn't find it. I recently started using an old Oxygen25 I had lying around as a Generic Control Surface. I also have "Auto Zoom" enabled in the Track View. When I select different tracks with my mouse or keyboard, Auto Zoom correctly zooms in on the current track. However, Auto Zoom doesn't zoom in when I move to another track via the Oxygen25 Control Surface. I expected the track to zoom, regardless of whether I clicked on it or moved to it using the control surface. Does anyone else use this combination of features? If so, does it work for you? Am I missing a setting perhaps? Thanks in advance! Tom
