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.

Also, if you're not getting a crash dump initially, try increasing the exception handling severity in the preferences to capture a dump to send to us. Just go to the Initialization File section and add this option/value:

@dubdisciple sent you a PM to look into your Start Screen issue.

Note: The installer in the original post has been updated to version 1.0.0.015. This version now allows for the install of add-ons on top of an existing up-to-date Cakewalk installation. It also runs the full installer in silent mode when updating an existing Cakewalk installation prior to the previous update.

Because for years people have asked us for a system where they were confused by inconsistent third party driver names and how they were labeled only as left, right, and stereo. The port numbers actually will show you input port 1 on your device. It's beyond our control that Roland wrote a driver that put "mic/line 1" as input 5. Obviously it's not perfect for everyone at the moment, but the amount of work required to renumber the driver ports exceeded the scope of this update. @Noel Borthwick can give you more specifics.

The VS-700 system is a bit less common in that it has those extra ports that are listed before mic/line inputs 1-8 as you mentioned. As the driver goes, they are technically starting at ports 5 and 6. I get what you're saying though, but the new system is clearer for most other devices that have the analog 1-8 inputs listed first. The other driver names or friendly names are still there though, so aside from getting acclimated to the prefixes you're not losing anything.

Updating through either BA or the app itself run the same installer, so if you have problems with BA getting the installer to run, download it via Cakewalk.

As 2021.06 has now been released, Early Access is now closed. Thanks to everyone for your participation! Please refer all future comments to the official feedback thread here:

Is there a specific issue you're having with OPUS?

Likely something weird going on with your Visual Studio redists in Windows. I'd check to make sure you've got Windows updated first, and if that doesn't resolve it, try manually uninstalling the redists, and then running the Cakewalk installer (which will then replace them). I'd start with the VS2019 redistributable first if you uninstall them, but Cakewalk installs the 2019 (which includes 2015 and 2017 revisions) and then 2013 and 2010 as well.

Yes, this is a known limitation with the External Insert currently.

yes, can you please upload either the .cwp or a link to the project via dropbox/google drive, etc. You can also PM Noel and/or myself with the link with the details if you don't want to attach to the public thread.

Based on what I can glean out of your dump file, it's crashing in the kernelbase after doing a bunch of stuff related to the WD Desktop App. I'm guessing that's what's likely having an issue. Also, make sure you get the latest Cakewalk build (175) as that has had some changes to the error handling that are not as aggressive as the previous release (build 144).

Once again, thanks everybody for your participation with Early Access! Build 175 is now available to all by going to Help | Check for Updates. You can now post any related feedback to the official release feedback thread.

If you publish the same project more than once, it uploads as a new revision.

I can't seem to reproduce this, can you upload some example audio? Possible there's some kind of special formatting to those particular files.

What @scook said ?

Are you seeing anything in the soft synth tab of the Add Track flyout?

The new plugin menus require a click on "Soft Synths..." from the Insert menu

@Cédric Lawde This will be fixed in the next installer build, but you're seeing the 0 KB PC2A file because there was an issue with where the installer was packaging localized versions of the PC2A .dll files. If you run the installer again in English you should see a proper PC2A file.
