Be prepared to do a lot of freezing with this synth..... especially if you use pitch bends.....

With Cakewalk closed, rename the AUD.INI file and then restart Cakewalk. That file will be rebuilt with its default settings. See if that gets the buffer slider back. This file can be found in the following folder (Make sure you've set Windows to view extensions of known file types) %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core

Not here. Can you give some details as to what plugins you're using. Maybe hold down shift as you open the project to rule out a plugin issue. What driver mode are you using? What sample rate, bit depth and buffer size are you using? When you reinstalled the drivers for your interface, did you download the latest versions? (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates) Also, are you using Cakewalk by Bandlab 2020.9 build 006 (Check this with Help | About)

No But what you can do is open the file with Shift held down and say no plugins until you find wish one is causing the issue. Note: Like many programs, you can find their versions using Help | About.

What are your PC specs? Are you using version 4.13 of ST4? Have you tried it with both the VST2 and VST3 versions?

How many tracks are you using within Sampletank 4?

Works here. I have that version Focusite driver. 4.65.5.658 with CbB 2020.10 Build 61 Are you in ASIO mode?

I was actually going to suggest that you edit your custom workspace to deselect "Display settings" under "Load from this workspace". (Edit workspaces under the workspaces menu and select "Manage workspaces"

Are you using workspaces or screensets?

If you have one, did you disable your 3rd party antivirus/antimalware program prior to the attempt? My 2004 update consistently failed until I did this. My 20H2 update was offered via Windows update and went smooth as (Even did not have to disable my antivirus/antimalware program)

Sampletank 5

Wouldn't it be simpler to just download the latest iLok driver/software. Then, after step 1, simply install that over the top of the older installation. That, theoretically, should save the steps 2 to 4 ? - (Including the dreaded registry edit)

If it's been a few months, there may be Windows updates that need to complete. Also, it wouldn't hurt to update your Vdist runtimes (These are done separately from Windows updates) See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads Is your OS fully patched and all hardware drivers up to date? (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates)

Cakewalk must have updated the installer on their website. I performed another manual download and install and this time I ended up with BA 6.1.0.

That's the first thing I tried.... same result. It still downloads 6.0.0.0. I installed it anyway, but the reinstalled version still asks for an update.... which fails.

I load heaps of "MIDI only" Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 WRK files into Cakewalk by Bandlab 2020.9 build 006. Never had an issue. They all just load and play to the end.

Can't update here either. Currently on 6.0.0.0 of BA. Says it needs an update. I click on update , Not only does BA quit, but the BA process also terminates. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BA and downloading from https://www.bandlab.com/download/assistant/windows same result.... I chucked a reboot in there somewhere for good measure - same result. I am still stuck on BA 6.0.0.0 I have flicked a support ticket to Cakewalk support.

Is the Komplete audio 1 present but greyed out..... or is the Komplete audio 1 not even present? If the former, it's because for a given application, only one ASIO device can be selected an the same time. It's a limitation of ASIO driver mode. If the latter, check to make sure Komplete audio 1 is visible and enabled in the Device Manager. Start + Run "devmgmt.msc" (without quotes)

Full version of Kontakt 5.3 or higher required

The reason I bring up "the GL 2.1 thing" is because, according to https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/audio-interfaces/komplete-audio-1-audio-2/specifications/, the Komplete Audio 1 needs a graphics card which supports Open GL 2.1 or higher (That would include onboard graphics) You really should be using ASIO driver mode. The build number (like in all programs) and in Help | About

I was able to open your file , but without any audio files or plugins. It would be more accurate to say that a plugin or something about your system is causing Cakewalk to crash. Are you using version 2020.9 Build 006 of Cakewalk by Bandlab? Also, are you using the latest version of all the plugins that you're using? Is your PC fully patched? Are all drivers up to date? (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates)

When the time comes, get someone who knows what they are doing to do it for you.....

I have to wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. Sometimes things need to be said, no matter how unpopular.... For me, TTS-1 just works... always has.

Why doesn't TTS-1 work on your system? Are you using the version that comes with Cakewalk by Bandlab?

Balanced cables are cabled specifically designed to cancel out noise along the audio chain. You mention "headphone", so I am assuming not. Can we have some PC specs. OS (I notice the driver page does not mention Windows 10), CPU, Ram, video card Are you using version 3.1 of the drivers (for WIndows 7,8 or 8.1) Does your graphics Card support Open GL 2.1 or higher? What driver mode are you using? Are you using Cakewalk by Bandlab 2020.9 build 006?
