FYI, the document at the URL in the first post has been updated to 0.9.5 which includes changes posted here by users since the last update in December.

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of the menu option - you're changing the current setting of one of the two rulers. If you want to remove the rule entirely, use the [-] button on the far right of the ruler.

This should work unless it is a mono bus, or an FX plugin on the bus is in mono. Have you reproduced with a simple project? One track, one stereo bus, no FX plugins? Then add the plugin to the bus, see if it changes?

Um, not sure if this is helpful or not but here: http://www.prodigalsounds.com/blog/post/2019/08/05/Using-a-MIDI-controller-with-Guitar-Rig-VST-in-Cakewalk

For what it's worth, I am using Windows 10 1803, Echo Layla3G, latest Cakewalk 2020.01, flawless performance. So it might not be that clear-cut. I've seen more reported issues with "up-to-date" Focusrite drivers than I have with the W7 Echo drivers.

Interesting... I did not notice that. I assumed that the "Thumb" color was also drawing the arrows. I will update my document with this information.

Ah, I see. Got it. Thanks.

I'm getting an update notification as of yesterday. Is this intentional? Usually I check in here to set my expectations before blindly applying an update...

Make sure you use a pop filter to remove plosives, they could cause distortion. (I still use nylons over a bend wire coat hanger, because it just works.) Other than that, creating a little vocal both can end up with a flat sounding take, but that is kind of the point. You should be able to improve a vocal take with emphasized mids using an EQ plugin - it might just take some finesse. Check out a few videos for ideas.

Doh! Yes, that works. Thanks scook for being a timely and bottomless resource of knowledge. The bigger problem is why Cakewalk isn't recording these events in my performance. Update: It doesn't seem to transmit them, either. Well, bollocks. I need to test this in another DAW. Update 2: Or, I could just test it again in Cakewalk with the correct MIDI cables plugged in. And the patchbay set appropriately. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Folks - Q1. Why does Cakewalk not record cc 114 and 115? Answer: It will if you plug the OUT cable into your MIDI interface. Q2. Is there a way to customize the list of controllers in the PRV controller drop-down list? No, but @scook points out that you can just type the number of the controller you want, even if it is not in the list.

I recommend reading this post from yesterday

>> You can't use 32 bit plugins in a 64 bit DAW By all means adopt this as a personal tenet, but it does not happen to be true for Cakewalk, in general. I recommend reading from page 1470 in the Reference Guide and exploring the bitbridge server settings if you're having issues with 32-bit plug-ins.

Must have Melodyne installed; must be standard .wav file; other than that it sound magic.

Cakewalk By Bandlab will use 32-bit VST plugins (via built-in bitbridge) if they are found in the appropriate location on the file system. You can only get legacy plugins by running the installers of the software with which they originally came. I think Cakewalk will still open projects even if the plugins can not be found. You can then replace them with current plugins one by one, if you are willing to recreate the patches or presets used originally which obviously won't be available.

>> Why in 2020 would anyone do that. @Bapu, he's running Windows 8.

Are you running Windows 32 bit?

Did you add a CPU-intensive bus processor? (i.e. linear phase EQ, mastering, etc). Does the latency effect go away if you press the "bypass FX" button in the control bar mix module?

Almost certainly. Some plugins might be missing, though, if you don't have them installed in your new computer. If you have used virtual instruments or effects in the project, and can't reinstall them (even temporarily) then you might be missing some information from the older session, and will need to recreate it using modern substitutions for the missing VSTs.

Wow, 51 folks have downloaded this theme as of Dec 28. Nice. Latest version is attached to the original post above.

While I admire that Cakewalk is extra careful to protect our project and audio files, I think you should disable or read-only the path controls if Cakewalk has no intention of respecting what we set them to.

Yes, I can confirm this behaviour has been there for at least a couple of years. It bugs the heck out of me but I've learned to live with it, moving the files manually after exiting the application. At least Cakewalk isn't trashing our projects.

Press ALt-Shift-6 and see if you have another key change event later in the time line, setting it back

@BassDaddy, nice work!
