We went to a nice local studio to lay basic tracks and some minor overdubbing. No MIDI, mixing or sweetening activities at all, as I am planning to do all that in Cakewalk. What is the easiest way to get those files from ProTools (Mac) into Cakewalk? I had a dismal experience attempting to use OMF for a more fully-fledged project last year, but that was a consolidated mix.

@azslow3 Kind of an unnecessary PS for someone using RME and Sound Devices. I sometimes need a dongle that would allow me to edit 96kHz/24bit projects on headphones without additional hardware beyond a laptop. Do I wish it was ASIO compliant? Sure. I'm open to suggestions.

That did it. Thanks a bunch @scook! I also got the onboarding dialog, which I didn't want, so I ended the Cakewalk task, set OnboardingShown to 2 and fired up Cakewalk successfully with my old working settings. Greatly appreciate the help. @Noel Borthwick - I think this constitutes a bug. We shouldn't be able to paint ourselves in a corner by a simple preferences change to WDM/KS driver choice. Version: 2022.06 (Build 034, 64 bit)

@Noel Borthwick Wondering if you could help with my can't launch Cakewalk issue.

I set OnboardingShown to 0, but that did not solve this problem. Also tried a reboot with OnboardingShown=0 to no avail. I'm back to using the RME UFX as the Windows sound output, which works fine, but CbB still won't launch. Note that I still see the driver inventory running every time, but the main UI doesn't load.

More info: Renaming %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\aud.ini (using the RME UFX as a Windows sound source) does not fix this issue. Renaming %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core does not fix this issue. Renaming C:\Cakewalk Content Core does not fix this issue.

I've purchased a new XtremPro 96kHz/24bit USB headphone interface to replace my old 48kHz max nuForce headphone interface. The XtremPro didn't get recognized by Cakewalk, so I switched to the WDM/KS driver, and now when I launch Cakewalk it goes through the audio interface setup but won't run Cakewalk. No obvious Cakewalk processes in Task Manager (running Wn11). I don't have a way to switch driver types since I can't open the Preferences dialog from within Cakewalk, and I've not found any files or registry settings that contain the driver settings (no, I've not changed anything - yet). I normally use either an RME UFX or MixPre6 in ASIO, and they work fine within Windows, but Cakewalk still won't launch. What's the fix?

I still get reliable results with PerfectSpace on the latest Cakewalk and a pretty powerful recent laptop. It's still my favorite reverb for enhancing live spaces for location classical recordings.

Wondering if there are any issues upgrading to Windows 11 concerning Cakewalk. Anybody tried it yet?
