Why did you make me use google?

You're only as odd as you feel.

Your genius is wasted here.

So, what IS the longest song ever recorded? I'm glad you asked: The longest officially released song is 'The Noise Militia (#38/76)' by Steve Lieberman (USA), which lasts 35 hr 41 min 9 sec, released on 3 December 2020.

Ahhh, when you said: "mixing times are taking too long (i.e.: 3 minutes song, with 5 midi-tracks and 1 audio-track is taking more than 24 hours to complete the audio mix)" It is interpreted to mean balancing the volumes, effects, pans, etc. So you really meant Rendering or Exporting. Do you have any antivirus software that may be aggressively checking every byte that gets written to the disk? Are you exporting to an external device? Are there any other processes running?

That sounds like a wetware issue, not software.

An American tourist is in Germany and goes into a bar. He asks, "Do you have any American beer?" The bartender says "Nein". The American says, "Well give me the closest thing you have." The bartender hands him a glass of tap water. Caveat: That joke is dated. Some microbreweries are producing really good stuff (at least in my area).

Am I in a time warp? Is this Junior High School?

There is a freeware program called Mp3tag that allows you to view/edit the metadata in audio files. Someone, anyone, can change/delete/edit the metadata in any audio file.

I'm sure a lot of people here will put in their two cents.

Windows 10 update messed up my system too. I had to reset the default MIDI device. Fortunately the MIDI device I use has a built in MIDI Mapper since Microsoft-in-the-head removed the GUI to do that. It looks like the update has change-for-the-sake-of-change minor GUI tweaks and an excuse for them install Edge on my system. Which I promptly removed...I already have a browser.

That sounds a bit Rusty.

Perhaps your firewall is blocking some needed messages. Can you check it's log?

What, no wah-wah pedal? Lame.

I like bunnies.

Incredible. To increase their market share, Bandlab is going to be PAYING musicians who use Cakewalk. Every time you upload a song to their website....you will get 5 dollars! Details...

This thread is nothing but

Are you sure? That looks like the current KEY of the song, not the current chord. You can look at the Staff View and see and discern what chords...nay, even what notes are being played!

A squirrel?

Because they are machines!

That IS ironic. BTW: You misspelled polarization. Perhaps you can turn spell checking on in your....browzer.

Well...You're Still a Young Man.

The first thing I would check is the track's output:

Ah....no.
