HOOK

Hey Bit. I've had others that I won't be able to recall...but currently, I have a problem in one track with the SI-String Section. Sticks every time I stop playback unless I stop playback after the last passage about 3/4 through the song.

@msmcleod Thank you. I'm generally running 4 or 5 VST's tops, so it shouldn't be much of an issue. You're right about the sustain pedal. I usually notice stuck notes on midi sections that I use the sustain pedal on. And it's even more frequent when I split a midi clip and move stuff around. I was wondering if that was causing the sustain to remain in sustain mode because sometimes I can click on the clips pane well after the midi clips and push play twice...that stops the stuck note.

I noticed this in the new update: Optionally send Send All Notes Off message to VST plug-ins Using certain VST plugins can result in stuck notes after playback stops. You can now optionally send "All Notes Off" messages to all VST plugins when the transport stops, by enabling Send All-Notes-Off Messages on Stop in Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings. This option is off by default to avoid incurring delays when stopping playback when using many virtual instruments. I've used Cakewalk to record only audio for 27 years. You heard me...lol. But I've begun learning to use the MIDI features over the last few months. I've been having this stuck note issue on occasion so I'm glad to see an option to stop it. But I'm curious to know...is there something that I'm doing to cause these stuck notes, or is it just a nuisance we all have to deal with? Also...with this option enabled, roughly, how long of a delay are we talking about when stopping playback? Thanks.

This is typical behavior when picture cache needs cleared? Thanks. Obviously, something got wonky when I installed the EA version the day before I installed the official release. I've been working on this song since 10/29/22 and I had no issues until these back-to-back updates. And the only project with this problem was the only one that got opened and worked on in that 24 hours.

So file it under WTF. Seems that when I open another project first, this one finally shows the clips. But when I push play, they disappear. Then, the next time I got the waveforms to show, I clicked in the clips pane first and it played fine. Closed it and tried again...no waveforms. So I opened another project again so this one would show the waveforms once again. It played again when I clicked in the clips pane first. So, this time, I decided to save the project to see if that would fix the problem. And currently, I've been able to close Cakewalk, relaunch and open this project 3 times with it acting as it should. Solved....I hope.

I'm curious to see if this will upload correctly. Video of the clips disappearing when I hit play. IMG_6204.MOV

I just opened every project I've worked on since March and they all load up and play fine. But not this one from last night. In fact, I just opened it again and it showed the wave forms this time. But as soon as I pushed play, they all disappeared.

@Noel Borthwick Last night I loaded up that EA version and did your test. Then I worked on this song. Tonight, the new release installed...and now there are no audio clips showing in the clips pane. All audio files are still in the same folder they were in last night. I opened two other projects that I didn't wortk on last night and they are opening and working. This is why I hate unnecessary updates. What do I do now?

Also, there's a strange little bug in that MMCCS check box. The Enable MMCSS for ASIO Driver option is not available until I click on Use MMCSS. But if I uncheck Use MMCSS and close preferences and then open it again, the MMCSS for ASIO is still checked....and now it's not grey. A little wonky...not sure what to make of it. Running great without either checked. I'll leave it alone...

I captured it with it off, as you requested. I tried running Cakewalk with MMCSS on and off. And "for ASIO driver" on and off. With and without load balancing. All options with MMCSS on caused issues.

@Noel Borthwick I installed that EA build and I think I captured what you wanted to see.

Ok, @Noel Borthwick. I'll install that tonight and we'll see what it tells you.

This is what I see.

@Noel Borthwick I ran that program as you requested, but I couldn't make any heads or tails about which thread was the ASIO thread.

@Noel Borthwick Alright. I'll get it done this weekend.

@Noel Borthwick - I'd be happy to run this test as long as you don't require my installing the EA build.

Is this a bug? Try to change the keyboard shortcut for SHIFT+V. Immediate crash on two different systems for me. EDIT: I haven't checked them all....but everything in the list below SHIFT+V that I've tried crashes when I change it.

Thanks folks. I've been tweaking the global bindings this morning and it looks like it's keeping the settings. Is it normal for Cakewalk to crash if you do a bunch of this at once? I've seen two Cakewalk crashes while messing with this. Once last night and once this morning.

T Thanks. I didn't realize there was a "do nothing" choice. I found one that looked blank and was assigning that to the shortcuts I was trying to get rid of.

Thanks. I basically work from two screens on a single, custom workspace. When I make these changes to "do nothing", do I need to overwrite that workspace before I exit, or will these changes remain in that workspace without?

I've read the manual on this topic, but I must be too thick skulled to figure out how to make a brand new set of shortcuts - or, more specifically, how to unassign shortcuts so that they stay that way permanently. I've tried and failed. I'm tired of fat-fingering shortcuts that hide the dock...or the control bar...or just about 75 other things I never intend to do. Any help would be appreciated.

You might have to clarify this install. Is this install replacing my current version and all of the settings? Because I started the install and aborted. I just got this sucker working.

Is that you, Reggie? ?

Thanks again, Noel. I'll double check that I'm using a current driver, and I'll be running it hard this weekend on a new project to see if it's as solid as it is on playback of previous projects.

.pgl Never mind. I found that one finally. It's the Plug-in Menu Layout. I'll be happy to not have to rebuild that as well. Thanks for the help on this, friends. The new system is up and screaming. And the GUI, plugins, presets, workspaces....all that....looks and acts just like it did on the old system.
