Does this offset happen if you try it with just Rapture Pro and freeze a track with a couple of notes in that? I just tried it here (PC as per signature) and it was all in sync.

I have never has any issue installing air products on Windows 10. I always make sure I am using the latest version of iLok licence manager. The most recent install is Xpand!2 and this was successful. It did not replace my installation of iLok licence manager. Nor did it bork my Windows 10 installation. In fact, there was an entry in my Windows Application Event Logs that specifically stated that an iLok licence manager install was attempted. However, this was aborted because a newer version of iLok licence manager was already installed.

By moving "the timeline to a particular position" are you meaning the move the NOW cursor? If so, then my “thinking outside the square” solution would be to write a CAL script to do that. Then use MIDI note keybinding to run that CAL. Mind you, the issue with CAL scripts is that sometimes, Cakewalk is not in a state to run CAL scripts at times. If the menu item Process | run CAL entry is greyed out, then CAL scripts will not run - even from key bindings. It would also depend on how you would program your “external device” to send the right MIDI events.

Not surprising. MME-32 is what you use if absolutely nothing else (short of getting a proper audio interface) will work. MME-32 gives the worst latency.

Remember Loom (and Loom 2) uses iLok for activation. It does not require a dongle as it can be software activated in the iLok licence manager. Is it possible that you have not activated it with iLok? This is definitely required. Also, make sure you have the latest iLok manager installed. That being said I have never had any issues with Cakewalk recognising synths (including Loom 2). I do follow some rules when installing any plugin I only have one folder location for my VST2 plugins, and one folder location for my VST3 plugins I always choose a custom install - taking care to pay attention to where it installs the DLL files (Change if necessary) I never install 32bit plugins, ever - only 64bit. If a plugin is only 32bit - I stop right there. If the plugin requires iLok activation (or even another copy protection type), I do that first - before even installing. I have used VST Plugins for a while now. It’s extremely rare that Cakewalk does not “see” plugins. If it does happen, it’s because I broke one of the above rules.

Such is the serial nature of the forum. Maybe we need a new section just for updates.

Sampletank 4 has been updated to 4.14 SampleTank 4 - Ver. 4.1.4 - Release Notes New Vintage Plate effect Internal support for SampleTron 2 tape effects General reliability improvements. Either use IK Multimedia Product manger to update or download directly from your IK Multimedia products page (go to Sampletank, Click “Past Releases)

Works fine here on my PC (Configured as per signature). Opened, edited, went through patches,played. No Crashes here. If you contact support (Cakewalk or AIR) they are going to ask is everything up to date (Cakewalk, Windows, drivers, etc).

Sounds like something articulation Maps would be good at. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.51.html

Depends

Is there DC voltage coming out of the rectification stage? (should be present across the electrolytic capacitor, if present)

Some software insists on an ASIO compatible driver to work. A driver wrapper takes your existing sound card drivers and puts them into an ASIO environment. This means that you can use your existing sound card in applications that insist on using ASIO. Most professional audio interfaces come with their own native ASIO drivers. The only time you would want to use ASIO4ALL is when software insists on an ASIO compatible driver to work and your audio interface does not come with its own native ASIO drivers.

This does indeed come with it's own ASIO driver. I use the 2nd generation variant. Rock solid here. If you get a new one, it should be the 3rd generation variant. One thing to note. If you do choose this unit, you might want to consider using the BETA drivers as the release notes specifically mention Cakewalk by Bandlab. Available here: (website’s a bit slow to come up) http://beta.focusrite.com/

What audio interface are you using? Does it come with native ASIO drivers. If so, then use that and completely uninstall ASIO4ALL. If you’re using onboard sound, still ditch ASIO4ALL and use WASAPI Shared driver mode.

I just inserted an Addictive Drums 2 SIT and it did not crash here. I also opened a previous project that uses Addictive Drums 2 for its percussion. This is on a machine configured as per my signature. There must be something particular to your set up that is causing this. Can you give us more information?

Details - the relevant thing is that it’s a wrapper, not a driver.

Don't you hate it when that happens.....

Have you contacted either NI or AAS about this issue?

ASIO4ALL is simply a wrapper for WASAPI. 44.1/24 with 11.6 is fine and your system should handle that. What you might light to try is uninstall ASIO4ALL and then head to Preferences | Audio | Playback and Recording and set you driver mode to WASAPI Shared I had a look on the website for the Alesis i02 Express and the driver it offers is ASIO4ALL. Personally, I would have on my agenda eventually ditching that unit and getting an audio interface that comes with its own native ASIO drivers. I have my setup as per my signature and I do not get any “digital distortion and fluffing” what so ever.

Can you give us some detailed information about your system? OS,CPU, RAM, HDD (and type) Audio interface, bit depth, sample rate, buffer size, driver mode? Latest drivers installed (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates) What else have you tried so far?

The tempo list is now in the inspector (Which your image is actually showing)

One command that I know will categorically crash Cakewalk by Bandlab is the Editslide and Editslide40 command. Therefore if you wish to move the temporal position of a MIDI event, you have to directly edit the Event.Time parameter instead of the above commands. There are some behavioural differences in some commands as well. For instance, in CbB, An EditPaste or EditPaste40 command, without arguments, will perform the paste unconditionally, without a dialogue box. In earlier versions, An EditPaste or EditPaste40 command without arguments will bring up a dialogue box. Adding parameters to these particular (paste cut copy) commands in CbB can result in a crash. Also, any CAL scripts that use time parameters will only work correctly is your Preferences | Project | Clock > Ticks per quarter note is set to 960. Any other value will result in CAL commands that have time arguments not being executed correctly. For instance, the Insert command won't place the event at the specified time. You just have to be aware of these idiosyncrasies when writing CAL scripts for CbB.

Within 24 hours of sending AAS a support email, I received a reply with the hotfixes for all of their synths. On my system (configured as per signature), Chromophone 3.1.0 Hotfix 1 VST3 allowed me to load multiple instances in CbB 2021.4.Build 170. Prior to this hotfix (Chromophone 3.1.0), I was unable to do this (Even through jBridge) It should be noted that, on my system, the links pointed to on my first post in this thread are still pre hotfix. That is with the FF cache cleared.

On the Focusrite Beta drivers page there is a Beta driver for the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. The latest BETA driver is version is 4.87.4 In the notes for this version, Cakewalk by Bandlab is specifically mentioned: “Fixed an issue that could cause a crash in Cakewalk by Bandlab” Maybe give these a go This is at http://beta.focusrite.com/ (CTRL + F > "Focusrite USB2 Drivers 4.87.4" without quotes)
