Drum Replacer is meant to be used as a RegionFx, not in the fx bin. It’s disabled as a standard plugin by default for that reason.

Is Cakewalk definitely crashing, or it this a dropout?

Are you using any workspaces in Cakewalk?

There's definitely nothing wrong with the project file itself, so there must be something else causing this issue. Can you capture a crash dump and send me the dump file? Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

I got the project - loaded fine for me.

CbB 2022.02 automatically adds the new location ( %localappdata%\programs\common\vst3) into your scan paths. A re-scan should pick up the new location of MCP automatically.

Strange... it's appearing in the menu on my system:

@dogufo - as CbB uses the audio device for timing by default, you could try adding a blank audio track, or a software synth and see if that improves your MIDI timing.

If you're working in the PRV, this can generate a lot of changes as IIRC a lot of operations are done on an individual note by note basis ( as opposed to the clips view, where operations are done on a clip by clip basis ). The best thing to do when you're still at the stage of editing events/clips is to set your auto-save to be time based.

I honestly can't say to be honest, but I doubt it'll make much difference if you're getting issues with a blank project just recording MIDI. Are these pure MIDI tracks, or MIDI tracks with a soft synth?

@Esteban Villanova - Thanks for the report. The issue seems to be related to trying to copy a section with events in a project with no clips. We can reproduce the issue and are looking into a fix.

Have you ruled out USB sleep settings? 20 mins sounds like the sort of time sleep might kick in... Check your power settings within Windows and ensure USB sleep is disabled.

Normally this is indicative of an ASIO buffer size that is too high, but it could also be down to a MIDI feedback loop within your virtual instruments. Make sure that the MIDI output of any VSTi's is disabled if you're not using it:

Not sure about Win 7 home x64, but FWIW CbB 2022.02 is running fine on my Win 7 Pro x64 boot. I can't imagine it would be any different for Win 7 home. The only thing that might be an issue is the available RAM. Microsoft limited the amount of available RAM in the Home editions. Home Premium is limited to 16GB, which is fine, but the Home Basic edition was limited to 8GB which might be a bit too low for some projects.

It's likely instrument dependent. Fast export will attempt to export at as fast a speed as possible, but not all plugins support this.

Click on the Patch Browser button at the bottom right of the Inspector:

Also try setting the "Bounce Buffer Size(MS)" to "Playback Size". Some plugins can get upset when this is set to high values.

MIDI clips can be locked to absolute time as well as audio clips. To do this: 1. Select all the clips you want to stay at a specific time 2. Set their time base to "Absolute" : So in the above example, the MIDI clip starts at exactly 2 seconds in. When set to absolute Time Base, regardless of tempo changes, it will always start at 2 seconds in. You can also lock the Position and/or Event Data of the clip so that you can't accidentally alter it during edit operations:

I have machines I leave on 24/7, but leave my audio interfaces off when not in use. As a general rule, I pretty much always switch my DAW PC off. You can still leave your machine on 24/7, as long as you remember to switch your 18i20 on just before you open CbB - I mean, you don't need CbB running all the time.

For Neve clone's I'd recommend Warm Audio if you're in the US, and maybe Golden Age if you're in Europe/UK. Other things to look at are a 2nd hand JoeMeek MQ3 or ThreeQ ( the TFPro P3 is basically an MQ3 in a red box). VC3Q is a slightly older model, but basically the same. You get a preamp, optical compressor & EQ in a half rack unit. The VC6Q is the stereo 1U version. Don't discount older mixing desks that have individual outs too... I absolutely love my Allen & Heath MixWizard / GL2400 and my Alice 828. You can pick up Allen & Heath's at around a 10th of the cost they were, as so many live hire companies are selling them due to them going bust cos of Covid.

Can you PM me a copy of a project you can't open? We'll look into it.

@linkbekka - if you want to export a selection of buses as a mix of only those buses, the easiest way to do it is to do an "Entire Mix" export, but solo only the buses you want to export, e.g.:

Could you post a screen shot of the message?

FWIW I built another DAW PC last week from scratch, and found the following... After installing Dimension Pro from CCC, I found I had to open it in SONAR running it in admin mode before Dimension Pro picked up its licence properly (same for CA2A). After doing this once, it worked fine in CbB. Uninstall Rapture Pro, then install Dimension Pro, then re-install Rapture Pro. The reason for this is that the Rapture Pro installer does a one-time import of all your Dimension Pro sounds into Rapture.

@John Bradley - there's gotta be something else at play here. Below is me freezing SD3 with both tempo changes and without tempo changes - both on a single SD3 instance, and with 4 instances ( Bass Drum, Snare, HiHats, Cymbals). The freeze time for tempo changes / no tempo changes is identical:
