It's a different team that handles the development for BandLab Assistant as opposed to the Cakewalk app itself. The download page for Cakewalk now offers the Web Installer directly so a user would not need to have BandLab Assistant at all.

If you can get us a project where it's readily reproducible, we'll take a look into it and see where the problem is. Thanks!

adding "ExceptionHandlingSeverity" into the Initialization File section of the Preferences lets you adjust how aggressive Cakewalk's error handling is. 1 is normal, and 7 is what you'd want to set it to if you're trying to troubleshoot something and it's not catching a dump file already.

If it's crashing, can you please get us a dump file? Try adjusting ExceptionHandlingSeverity in the Initialization File if you're not getting a dump now. It might be a combination of things going on in your template as well. I can't reproduce your problem with Superior Drummer 3 alone.

It seems like there's a focus issue when going through it in the exact steps mentioned. The track view strips aren't getting focused when clicked, thus the Inspector doesn't change from the Mains. Logged this to fix, thanks!

This sounds like it's likely something specific to Massive X on your system. I just confirmed it loads normally on our end. If deleting a plugin settings folder/file fixes it for you, it's likely something you'll need to address with NI directly.

Alternately reinstall from the separate downloader installer without BA:

If you run the in-app updates, it does a "silent" install that just shows you the overall progress bar for the update keeping your existing settings.

The latest version of the Web Installer should actually the demo projects available independently from the Studio Instruments installer which is where they are if you download the add-ons from BandLab Assistant.

The web installer actually should check for existing installations in its current version. This just changes the default toggle state for the additional installers when you run it. If you already had Studio Instruments installed previously at some point, the box will show as unticked, however if you need to reinstall that, you can simply check it and continue with the installer.

@jkoseattle It seems like something got corrupted in the project file itself. What seems to work to recover it is if you delete the synth instances that tracks 4 and 12 are using from the Synth Rack View. Then the console will open correctly again (and you'll need to re-add the synths.

If you run Cakewalk/SONAR as administrator, the plugins will also run in adminstrator mode and should allow you to enter the registration code.

@hhal9000 Please try downloading it via the web installer as opposed to BA, and let us know if that works for you. @Mark Williams I'm sending you a PM.

This is a known issue with Windows 7. Please use the web installer here instead:

Melodyne 5 is significantly more stable than v4, so if you have the option to upgrade... it's well worth it. I haven't seen any issues with Melodyne clips recently, and I've been doing a lot of testing with various project with a bunch of Melodyne clips. Printing FX is not a bad idea to future-proof backups for your projects, but shouldn't be necessary on a day-to-day basis for projects.

The Overloud plugins are installed with the full Cakewalk by BandLab installer versions, but if you use the updater from update to update, they shouldn't get touched as they're not changed on a regular basis.

Please try this link for the rollback

The only way you wouldn't see an option to manually set the install paths would be if you already had an existing Cakewalk/SONAR install, in which case it inherits a path that you would have set previously. Not that you can't manually reconfigure paths after installation either. The OP's issue was with getting the download to run via BandLab Assistant. Other users linked them to a new installer that worked successfully for them.

Nothing with our installers write anything to your router's internal memory. Sounds like you might have some sort of other system issue.

Hello Christopher, Are you sure the input port for your surfaces is set correctly in the Preferences? It's possible that this might have changed, thus causing it to receive data from the app, but not send. I just tested that automation does work correctly with a FP8 on my end, so nothing should have changed within the app to affect this in general.

The release notes are pointing to the main current release link, that hasn't changed since this build is in initial Early Access.

The rollback link has been replaced with Rebuild 4 which should work, apologies for the inconvenience.

We're pleased to announce Early Access for 2021.06 Update 2! This release fixes a few reported issues from the main 2021.06 release and adds some improvements. We'd love for you to check it out before we drop the official public version. Please note that Early Access installers are update installers, which only update from a specific version. To install the 2021.06 Update 2 Early Access build, you must be on the latest public release of 2021.04 or newer. Download Cakewalk 2021.06 EA installer Should you need to revert to the initial 2021.06 release, you can download the Cakewalk 2021.06 Rollback installer. If you haven't already done so, please read about the Early Access Program before participating. Please keep responses specific to problems or comments on this release. Unrelated bugs or feature requests should be posted in other threads or the feature request channel. Thanks again for your participation! The Bakers 2021.06 Highlights "Modern Standby" support and improved Power Management Added support for "Modern Standby" a new power management feature introduced in Windows 10 build 2004. Modern Standby mode is supported by some PC's (typically modern laptops). Modern standby is different from the traditional sleep modes and has to be specially handled by the application in order to suspend and resume hardware properly. Improved handling for resuming from a sleep state in Windows. Cakewalk will additionally reload the driver if necessary, if the driver requests a restart or it stops responding. Suspend and resume are properly handled when a dialog box is open. Handle VST instruments that change output counts If a VST instrument changes its output count, ports in projects previously saved with the instrument could become offset by the change in outputs. This could cause projects to stop playing through other virtual instruments until their instrument track inputs were reassigned. Cakewalk will now detect change in outputs on opening a project and automatically reassign ports appropriately with no user intervention required. Bug fixes Fixed crash when exporting single track with "-" in track name and filename Wedge Force Matcha plugin hangs on changing presets in 2021.06 release Projects saved with older versions of Omnisphere open with input ports assigned to incorrect instruments Space bar does not start playback when using Vienna Ensemble Pro Shift + Right Click toggle for Inline PRV causes unexpected lasso selection New projects flagged as modified in 2021.06 Extra Synth Instances inserted when adding all synth audio outputs for Split Instrument Track F2 to rename arranger section immediately after drag draw Alt + T in TV View Menu cut off slightly

If the crash is caught, it should prompt you about it, but they should go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\cakewalk\cakewalk core\MiniDumps.

That's always how it goes. A further quick note for the exception handling, just bear in mind that you'll ultimately want to remove that once you've captured your dump because it can also catch some other things that are benign. It's very handy for when you're trying to troubleshoot a particular scenario to get more details on a problem, but you'll want to turn that off when you don't need it.
