You have to make sure that windows is not using the microphone. One way that might work is to disable it in the sound manager control panel so that windows will not use it.

It is lighter in the CPU and has some slightly different features. I use it for putting on tracks and ozone for buses and mastering

I have had problems like this in the Pro Channel, particularly with the console emulators but it could be any of them. Do as "scook" suggests and turn them off one by one until sound starts again.

This is just a shot in the dark but has your audio interface or the project bit depth or sampling rate been changed?

Just my 2cents. I use the gain knob to get initial levels going into the FX bin and track fader where I want them for things like hitting a compressor or saturator at a level I like. This might not even be necessary if the plugin has an input gain on it. In that case I use it to set an approximate level so my volume faders can be set close to the 0db level. This gives me more resolution when I am mixing and want to tweak the level of the track in the mix. You could also do all this with clip envelopes or destructively applying gain to a track and then leave the gain knob at 0.

This should probably be in the feature request sub-forum

Plus, I have a really hard time with the user interface. It is quite different from Cakewalk, Studio One, Mixbus etc. It is pretty capable but I really struggle with its interface and so have not updated.

I don't have your interface but it sounds to me like you have some sort of "record what you hear" or output looped back into the input setting. The metronome should not be record-able unless the input you are recording is some copy of the output.

While in the PVR if you kit the 'T' key this should bring up a floating toolbar where you can select the draw tool. A middle mouse button click might work as well. You could also look in the keyboard bindings for the pencil tool.

I believe if you 'alt-click' on a bus to select it it will select the tracks and other buses that are routed to it. It may be 'ctrl-click' but it is one of those. If you send to a bus then that takes a copy of the signal and sends it to the bus. You could still have the output of the track going to a different bus. This allows you to send some of the tracks signal into say, a reverb bus. Then each track to which you want to apply that reverb can have a send to that bus with its own individual level of reverb.

If you have the input of each instrument track set to the same midi channel or omni then this can happen if they also have input echo enabled. I think there is a setting so that only the selected instrument track gets input echo enabled by default. Check to see if the input echo on the other instruments is enabled?

I don't think you would want to rename them. Cakewalk keeps a reference to these files for use in the DAW. If you rename them in the folder Cakewalk will not be able to find them. Anytime you split, bounce, record etc. Cakewalk keeps track of these file for its use and may create new ones. The files in the audio directory are how Cakewalk manages them for its use. They are not meant to be directly accessed by a user. If you want your own copy of wave files for your tracks then you could export them as stems and save them in a folder of your choosing.

You can also "pin" plug-in windows so they will stay open when you click on a different one.

Midi or audio? Try bouncing to clip and see if that helps

There is nothing I know of to make them appear other then make sure they are installed. The Saturation knob and the ReMatrix are both 3rd party ones that might require you to install them from an older Cakewalk?

Try adjusting the formants of the blobs that you move. I find that if I tune more then a few 10ths of a semitone an adjustment of the formants is needed.

+1. This is what it was designed for.
