If a minidump is not being generated automatically, you can create one in Windows. Details on this can be found here: https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013262/How-to-collect-a-Minidump-file-when-your-Cakewalk-program-crashes

"w" will do that behavior now

If you exit and reopen BandLab Assistant, do you still see the app in Demo Mode?

SONAR 8.5 variants predate VST3 support, so you need to make sure anything installed for it is a VST2. On a 64-bit system, the stock scan path for Cakewalk/SONAR is C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\vstplugins on a 64-bit OS or C:\program files\cakwealk\vstplugins on a 32-bit OS. As Craig mentioned you can pick similar paths from the plugin installers, but you need to make sure Cakewalk/SONAR scans those. VST3 uses a common path in the specification, so they all go C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Do you have a project where this is reproducible? We have not seen this issue on our end, but if you have a project where we can verify, then we can work on a fix.

Hi Max, Unfortunately this is a known issue with aux tracks and track templates. It's logged in our system and will be addressed as soon as resources allow. Thanks!

You can uninstall your current build and reinstall the 2019.07 release build from BandLab Assistant to grab the update (all of your settings will persist okay).

@Hapsiainen, PM me with your Serial Number for Dimension and I can pull your registration and make sure that you've got the latest version that you'll be able to download.

The files in AppData will get automatically copied from the C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk if they're moved/deleted from your existing AppData folder. You can clear AppData\Roaming\cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Help Module and when you open CbB, they'll get updated.

If you check the files in C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Help Module, what is the date modified for the file HelpText_EN.dat? The change for 2019.07 is not to show the ProChannel, but rather if you're on the Inspector, you'll get Help Module info for the EQ plot as shown above the FX Rack.

Yeah, we'd definitely recommend going line out from the amp rather than trying to use 2 USB devices like that. ASIO4ALL doesn't have any way for the devices to clock together.

@Jaime Ramírez @Blades, What version of Windows are you running?

You've simply increased the vertical zoom in the PRV. There's the little magnifying glass buttons in the bottom right corner, or if the PRV has focus you can use CTRL + Up/Down Arrow keys to adjust it.

I mean, there's no right answer to this kind of question. Both have their advantages or disadvantages, plus it'll be relative to which compressors or EQs you're using. As mentioned, shaping the bass before you hit the compressor is going to have a big impact on how the compressor reacts to the input, but maybe you want to tailor how the EQ sounds after the compressor too. Depends on the material and what you're going for. Most important thing is to train your ears. If you understand how your tools work, then you'll be better able to apply them as you see fit. Experiment, listen, learn how things play together, then adjust as needed!

As @scook was saying, it sounds like your audio device is not configured correctly. If you're using the stock integrated audio card that came with your computer, go to the Driver Settings tab of the Preferences, and see if your Driver Mode is set to WASAPI or not. Integrated audio cards will work best with either WASAPI or MME driver mode. If you're using a separate audio interface for playback, you'll want this set to ASIO instead to use the device's specific drivers.

It sounds like something is blocking the .dll files from being able to register in Windows. This wouldn't be specific to 2019.07 as the installer hasn't changed. Typically its a pending Windows update or possibly an antivirus interfering with the install. I'd double-check if you can force any additional Windows updates for sure, and if you keep having trouble, you can e-mail support for additional troubleshooting steps.

That's very dependent on everything else that is in your chain, particular on your master bus. If you're using a brick wall limiter to boost the level to -.3, that limiter is going to impact the sound more as you boost the signal going into it.

Hi Mariano, This issue is not new to the 2019.07 update, but is logged on our end. Thanks!

Input Quantize function has options to go higher than 32nds, but both the Process | Quantize and the Quantize MIDI FX plugin top out at 1/32. This hasn't changed with this update.

You're referring to Speed Comping. That's still there, you just engage it by hitting Shift + Space bar (which is the same as before).

Simple Instrument Track

Okay, so this is specific to working with envelopes on the main track rather than in Lanes. I've added this to the fix queue. Thanks!

Hmm... I'm not seeing this on our end. Lasso select should only select whatever you happen to have in the lasso. What kind of envelope are you editing? Any difference in other projects?

There was a fix for a similar constrained mouse issue in the Hotfix EA, however the Vertical Zoom issue described there is logged and in the queue.

If you install the Early Access Hotfix, there is now an option to turn this behavior on and off in the Options menu for the Track View. The hotfix also allows for CTRL clicking to override setting the Now Time while the Set Playback option is enabled. You can find the download here:
