Beginning with the December update and continuing with this one there is severe glitching and drop-outs. The only thing that mitigates it is dialing the driver buffer size up to at least 1024 samples. This introduces too much latency for me to play anything live. I can mix like this, but I cannot record. This was not a problem prior to December. Changing from ASIO to WASAPI fixes the latency but I still get glitches.

Update... User error. I've been doing so much problem solving that I had disabled the VST3 version and forgot to re-enable it after I re-installed Arcade 2.0 and rolled back Cakewalk to 2021.9 I knew I was Missing something. Sheesh!! ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ Now to see if Arcade 2.1 works with CbB 2021.9 Stay tuned........

Hello friends, For over 2 years I have been using Arcade within CbB without any problems. Recently I have encountered problems when I tried to update Arcade. However, after endless hours of wrestling with this thing, I am convinced the problem is with Cakewalk. I have now rolled both CbB and Arcade back to the previous versions where they were working just fine. Including a full uninstall/re-install of Arcade. The standalone version is there and functioning so I know it has installed. Inside of the plug-in manager I can see the VST version of Arcade. The VST3 version no longer shows up. Yes, I have made sure all installation folders are on the scan list. Where it gets confusing is (please see the attached photos) Arcade shows up in the layout in the plug-in manager (yes, I updated and saved the layout), but when I go to insert soft synth, it's not there. What am I missing? I think the location that the plug-in manager lists for Arcade is the wrong one, but other than re-scanning (which I have done multiple times) how do I change the location? The standalone version lists a different location. That folder is on the VST scan list, but CbB won't recognize it.

The most useful thing they could re-release is an updated version of Beatscape. A sample player that did time-stretching synced to tempo and automatically chopped the samples and assigned them to keys. I'm still bummed about losing access to that one!
