I think you have to consider a random intermittent hardware fault at this stage (or at least rule it out ). CbB is likely using your hardware in a way that makes the fault manifest in a way that SONAR X3e Producer x64 does not. If it really was a Cakewalk issue, then there would be many, many more posts on here reporting the same issue. As I have said, my PC with CbB (see signature for specs) does not experience the crashes you describe. I even use the same bit depth/samplerate/buffer size as you do. Check your Windows event logs for any disk errors (or any hardware errors). What does CrystalDisk info (or equivalent) say as to the health of your disks. It could even be a memory issue. Maybe reseat your Ram and/or perform a memory test. Just confirming that you are not overclocking your PC. Also check your are your system temperatures. From what you're describing, my instincts are telling me random hardware fault at this stage.

I am not experiencing this with the latest Cakewalk 2020.5 Build 039 with Windows 10 1909 loading various VSTis (BBC SO Discovery VST3 being one of them) What have you tried so far. We are going to need more information about your system Looks to be a local issue with your PC What is your OS version. Is your Windows fully patched and your Vdist runtimes up to date (Remember, Windows update does not update Vdist runtimes) The latest 2019 runtimes is 14.27.29016 - available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads What audio interface? Do you have the latest drivers for all hardware (Check with manufacturer's website, not Windows update) What sample rate and bit depth? What is your Sample buffer size. What driver mode (ASIO being preferred) are you using? Have you checked your event logs for any disk errors (like bad blocks)?

ASIO would be the preferred mode. What have you tried so far? Track Levels, bus levels Are you seeing meter activity on the bus and tracks.. Are the volumes turned up on the actual Audiobox USB? Does the Audiobox USB work with other software? Are you using the latest drivers for the Audiobox USB https://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB/downloads

No there isn't.

As a test, downloaded the BA exe and reinstalled. This went smoothly on my PC.... so it's got to be a local issue there on your PC. What OS and version do you have ? Have you tried temporarily disabling all antivirus programs (Including Windows Defender) prior to installing BA. I had Malwarebytes Premium enabled during my successful install This should not be required, but maybe run the installer as administrator. Is there an entry in "Programs and Features" for an older version of Bandlab Assistant?. If so, try uninstalling that from there first. Start + Run appwiz.cpl

What happens if you try from this direct link? https://www.bandlab.com/download/assistant/windows

With all the information you have supplied, neither have we. No, seriously. Can you provide a bit more information? What is your reported download speed according to https://speedtest.net Have you tried in another browser. Have you cleared your browser cache? What other things have you tried so far?

I also have noticed this and I have opened a ticket with Cakewalk support. I even did a video showing them the issue.

Are you exporting as a wave file or MP3 file? What are you using to play back the resultant exported file? If it's a wave file, and you right click on the resultant wave file and select properties and go to the details tab, does the "audio sample rate" of the file match what you exported it as? Have you tried playing it back on another device (Like your phone)?

What I do is set the Channel of the MIDI track in the inspector and in Preferences | File | Initialization File add the entry RechannelMIDI to 1 This has the effect of forcing al MIDI data on that track to send on that forced channel regardless of what channel the individual events in that MIDI track are set to. It also must be noted that when you bounce MIDI clips in a given track, it changes the channels of the bounced MIDI events to match forced channel of the track itself. Controller events will also change, which is important when selecting which channel to view in the controller lane.

Afraid not.

To be able to select the install location of Cakewalk by Bandlab, it has to be a fresh install. If you have a previous install of Cakewalk, it will use the previous install location and you cannot change it. One option is to more your Cakewalk install folder to another drive. Then create links to point to that drive. Mind you, Cakewalk by Bandlab core only takes about 220 meg. If you are worried about this amount of space on your system drive, then it's time to invest in a larger system drive. For this one, you'll need to send an email to support@cakewalk.com to request a password reset as password resets are handled manually at this time.

I must have done further things..... maybe I stopped a service or something. It's been so long. Whatever I did, I see zero ads from Corel. Note: I do have an IT background, so I would have checked places most users would not even consider looking. That being said, users should not have to jump through this many hoops to stop ads from any company. They should give you a single check box that you select to stop all ads. That check box should be on the ad itself saying "Don't show any more Corel ads ever"

Subscription software....Miss a payment and you're in demo mode? I think I'll pass....

You're right. They are a bit spammy. However, You actually can turn these ads off. In Paintshop Pro, Head to Help | Message Preferences and deselect all options there. One other thing you can do is open Windows Task Scheduler and disable tasks related to Corel. I have Corel Paintshop Pro 2019 Ultimate and I never see any ads to update to 2020

Looking at Izotope's upgrade page, it say that the "was" price is $US199.00, not $99.00 as stated on PluginFox So, according to Izotope the full price is $US199.00 , whereas the upgrade price is $US79.00... which is actually a 60% discount.

This is usually a driver issue or a plugin issue. On very rare occasions, it could actually be a hardware fault. It could also need a re-installation of the Vdist run-times. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads Update all of your hardware drivers (Not just your audio interface, either) Do this by visiting the actual manufacturer's website. To see of it's a plugin, After starting Cakewalk, hold down shift while opening a project to selectively prevent plugins from being used for that project.

Can you right click on "my computer" and post a screenshot of the resultant screen. I am interested in the "Installed Memory" (usable)

I have never seen Cakewalk doing this or even showing this message. Can you please post a clear screenshot where the message “Hardware Reserved” is displayed? “Hardware Reserved” sounds more like it's a function of your actual PC rather than Cakewalk itself. I also have 16 gig ram and on first load, Cakewalk only uses a couple of hundred K (As shown in Task Manager). Of course, memory usage increases , the more plugins and I load into a project. Are you sure this isn't you onboard graphics using a chuck of your RAM for it's graphic? This would be set in the PC's BIOS. You might also want to post a bit about your system and invronment in addition to the 16 gig. What version of Cakewalk? What version of Windows. Is your WIndows fully patched? Are you on a laptop or Desktop.

First of all, what driver mode are you using in Cakewalk? This is in preferences | Audio | Play back and recording. ASIO is preferred if using a dedicated Audio interface If you are using your onboard sound for you Audio in Cakewalk, then the driver mode will probably be set to "WASAPI Exclusive" or "WASAPI Shared". I suspect "shared" might be what you're after (I use ASIO so I do not use WASAPI mode) The setting you should be heading to is in the same area (preferences | Audio | Play back and recording) and then deselect "Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not in Focus"

Maybe request this here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

You might want to post this in the "Features and Ideas" forum and describe exactly how you would like the staff view to be updated. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

It does not mean it will not run on Windows 7 (which it does, and does well). It just means that if you do run into issue and you're still running Windows 7, then you will not get much support. They will probably just tell you to upgrade to a currently supported operating system. I suspect you won't like that, but consider this. What do you think Microsoft is going tell the Cakewalk developers if they themselves need assistance from Microsoft and they tell Microsoft that the issue only affects Windows 7. Microsoft will tell the Cakewalk developers that Windows 7 is no longer supported and to focus their development on applications for supported operating systems.

There is no "best" value. Try different buffer sizes and see which value works best for you and your workflow. For my particular workflow, mine is set to 256 samples.
