Just to confirm. Is CMD > “ping bandlab.com” and getting the 4 affirmative replies (Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0) with the resolved IP address a good enough test for this?

Are you able to manually ping Bandlab.com ?

I am so glad I can hide threads on here.

Try muting tracks one my one until the "High pitch sound" disappears. If the sound disappears by muting one of the tracks, then you have found the culprit. Then check that track’s input settings and what is connected to it. Other than that, as@John Verementions, we really need more information.

I wouldn’t. Surely, you mean “I would like to see an announcement that Cakewalk by Bandlab will remain free.”

I am not having this issue at all with Cakewalk by Bandlab 2023.09 Build 75 (My specs as per my signature) What are your PC specs? (See my sig for the stuff needed) What Sample rate, bit depth and buffer size are you using? What audio interface and driver mode (Native ASIO is preferred) are you using? Does your audio interface come with native drivers? (and not a wrapper like ASIO4ALL) What have you tried so far? Is everything updated. All drivers updated? (use device websites, not Windows updates for this)

Use Append Instrument Track instead of Duplicate.

All versions of Cakewalk by Bandlab prior to 2023.09 will eventually cease to activate, regardless of what OS you are running.

Pretty much....

Ok. My apologies. To get this to work, I did the following: I created a dummy audio track with Blue Cat control in its FX bin. I also created a dummy MIDI track. Its input set to Blue Cat control. Its output set to what ever synth (VSTi or external) I wish to control.

I tried the VST3 demo in CbB 2023.09 Build 75, and it worked fine here. I am assuming you have worked out the MIDI routing in Cakewalk. In Blue Cat’s Remote Control 3 I noted the following Under each controller or knob, there are little green and red down arrows. For a given controller or knob, click the RED arrow. Then select “Control Output Settings” Then select “Enable MIDI”. This is not checked by default for any controller, which is why you were not getting any MIDI being sent by the plugin. If you want to do wholesale changes, then click any RED arrow, and then select “All Controls Output Settings” As I did not decide to keep this plugin, I have uninstalled it.

When people say “without being connected to the internet”, are they really meaning “without being connected via WIFI“? I am “connected to the internet” 24/7/365 via ethernet and never had an issue with project load speeds (or anything else for that matter)

Try adjusting the dynamics. If this is set to maximum, then velocity will have little to no affect. This is usually the slider to the immediate left of the huge rotary controller in the Spitfire GUI. On the spitfire pianos I have, This is usually set to be controlled by CC1

Maybe drop a note Cakewalk support here: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000025633 Mention your language and locale. I have a hunch that will be relevant.

What is the locale of your windows?

I loaded that exact same patch here fine. No crashes. Analog V Pro Stand alone and as a VST3 in CbB. Also moved the recorded MIDI to an SIT of Prophet VS - played as well. This is one system configured as per my signature.

Your driver for your audio interface. To “apply the script”, create a file with a bat extension with any text editor (notepad.exe will do) Put the following in there and save. wmic process where name="Cakewalk.exe" call terminate Remember the location, maybe even create a shortcut to it Pressing winkey + R and putting the above therein and hitting OK will also terminate Cakewalk

Glad you found the solution. I am wondering if it's actually recommended practice that once you have completed working with Melodyne as a region effect, that one does indeed apply the changes. Personally, when I have completed fixing up a track with Melodyne, I would usually do the bounce to apply the changes. Looking at my CPU (in my sig), you'll probably work out why.

Also, if using a Workspace, then edit that Workspace setting so that it does not save screen layouts.

Grove Quantise can do this Select and copy the notes containing the source velocities to the clipboard. Select the destination notes you want to apply the velocities to Go Menu > Grove Quantise . Set Velocity Strength to 100%. (Maybe set Time and Duration to 0%). Click Audition to test the settings (The settings will be temporarily applied) If happy with the results, click OK

Selected the track that won’t select. Open that track’s properties with the inspector. Deselect “Arranger Exclude“, in the inspected track properties. See: http://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Inspectors.6.html

Which specific Spitfire instrument are you referring to? Also by “touch sensitivity”, I am assuming you are referring to velocity?

For the PRV and Staff view, I have set key bindings to set the durations (I use the top row of numbers to set various durations) In the Staff view, I have set the L key to enable lyrics entry. So in answer to your question “Is there a way to use the computer keyboard to select note durations?” is, yes you can.

The only reason I can think of for not using Articulation Maps is if you wish to have multiple articulations playing at that same time. Personally, I prefer using Articulation Maps - just remember to set the Chase modes to “Full” (They are set to “CCs by default” )

Open the project that displays the download error in safe mode (hold shift while opening) to see of you can narrow down the plugin causing this. Start by eliminating ones that you know it could not be. If, after removing the found plugin and Cakewalk is still not re-opening, this looks like a driver issue. This is when I would do a driver check (manufacturer's websites, not Windows update. Note: I have a script that closes the cakewalk.exe process. This script contains the following command. wmic process where name="Cakewalk.exe" call terminate Yes, I could use taskkill but I have found this not to do it sometime.
